The Coalition.

  The Coalition is part of a sci-fi universe me and my brother set up. A while into the future (naturally) earth started colonizing other planets in the solar system. Foreseeing problems they created The Guardians of Earth's Colonies or the Guardians for short. These guys quickly took control of Earth and changed their name to The Guardians of Earth and Her Colonies. They put up new laws that restricted yellow skinned minifigs privileges and made flesh colored minifigs the elite of the galaxy, in fact no yellow skinned minifig can be a Guardian. Anyhow, several of the colonies quickly revolted and formed the Confederation, another major power in the galaxy. Soon after, a large number of the outer colonies also revolted, with the help of the Confederation, and became the largest and poorest power in the galaxy. Worried by this the Guardians formed the Coalition, a peacekeeper government that is separate from the Guardians officially, but is really controlled by the Guardians. Their function is as researchers and as a government that loos like it's allowing the colonies more power than they actually have. They are one of the most technologically advanced governments but they wield the least power in the galaxy.
Here you see the leader of the Coalition with one of his bodyguards and the Captain of the Guard. Behind you can just see his adviser. The leader is a yellowy to fit in with the Coalition's image as being for the common man.                                                                                                              



A group of technicians and a scientist plus a service droid.  


A squad of troops. The normal soldier is trained as a pilot, driver, mechanic and medic. They normally carry the most widely used SMG in the galaxy, a type 3, but all squads have a type 2 flamethrower/LMG. With a flick of a switch this weapon can go from a flamethrower to a 50. cal. machine gun although the ammo supply for either is limited due to the size. Commanders usually carry some form of machine pistol.                                                                                              



Here you can see their main vehicles, two Rhino's and a motorcycle. They're the only Coalition vehicles we have. I was photographing these against a white background and I was like, "How come none of the details are showing up?" I'm slightly stupid as you can tell.                                    

And here's the redesign of the Rhino that allowed me and my brother to build two of them.
