Obedient to the Alliance's surrender demands, the League is writing a new Constitution, to prevent the reemergence of out-of-control bureaucrats, like the "Mandarins" who led it to disaster. Frontier Security has been disbanded, the Outworlds' have regained control of their own economic destinies, and multiple star systems will soon secede from the League entirely.
Yet the League is-and will remain-the largest, most economically powerful human star nation in existence, and despite the overwhelming evidence that their unelected political leaders were the driving force behind the war, many League citizens deeply resent the fashion in which their star nation-the Solarian League-has been humbled. And those who most resent the Grand Alliance continue to blame Manticore for the nuclear bombardment of the planet Mesa after its surrender. They refuse to accept that the League-and the members of the Grand Alliance-could have been manipulated by a deeply hidden interstellar conspiracy called the Mesan Alignment. The Alignment is only an invention of the Grand Alliance, no more than a mask, a cover, for its own horrific Eridani Violations.
Those Solarians will never accept the "war guilt" of the League, because they know the Grand Alliance was just as bad. Because they deeply resent the way in which the Grand Alliance pretends to be the innocent "good guys." And in the fullness of time, those Solarians will seek vengeance upon their enemies.
Not all Solarians feel that way, but even some of those who accept that there was an interstellar conspiracy cherish doubts about its origins. But it is still out there, and now defeated Solarians and agents of the victorious Alliance must join forces to find it. Even if they don't believe in it, it believes in them.
遵照「聯軍」的投降要求，「聯盟」正在起草一部新憲法，以防止失控官僚的東山再起，比如導致它陷入災難的“大官僚”。「國境安全」部已經解散，「外部世界」重新控制了他們自己的經濟命運，許多個星系很快就會完全脫離「聯盟」。
然而，「聯盟」是現存--以後仍是--最大、經濟最強的人類星國，儘管有壓倒性的證據顯示他們未經民選的政治領導人在背後推動戰爭，但許多「聯盟」公民對於他們的星國--「索拉里安聯盟」--被屈服的方式深感不滿。而那些最憎恨「大結盟」的人繼續指責曼蒂科爾在梅薩星球投降後仍對它進行了核彈轟炸。他們拒絕接受「聯盟」--以及「大結盟」的成員--是受到名為「梅桑結盟」的秘密星際陰謀所操縱的說法。「梅桑結盟」只是「大結盟」製造出來的魁儡，它只不過是一個面具，一個掩護，為了掩蓋其可怕的「波江座侵略」行動。
那些索拉里安人永遠不會接受「聯盟」的“戰爭罪”，因為他們知道「大結盟」一樣地壞。因為他們對「大結盟」裝無辜“好人”的方式深惡痛絕。隨著時間過去，索拉里安人將找機會報復他們的敵人。
並非所有的索拉里安人都有這種感覺，但即使是那些接受星際陰謀說法的人也對它的起源存疑。但它仍然存在，現在被擊敗的索拉里安人和勝利「大結盟」的代表必須聯手找出這個陰謀。即使他們不相信它，它也相信他們。
