Dracon Alliance

The Dragon Alliance is a group of city-states that ally for the gathering of resources and mutual benefit in a harsh environment. Surviving in the deep sky, they inhabit several flying rocks surrounding Kilmara, and in co-orbit with Gorel, Mizuni and the Three sisters. 
Each city state mans its own void ships, and they coordinate for raids, trade and protection. The clan council meets as needed to discus various matters, the council can be called at any time by any clan warden or clan general. Meetings are held in an extra-dimensional space accessible only by those individuals.
Food, Wood, and Water are precious resources given the inhospitable domain they inhabit. The Dragonkind feel it is their destiny to rule the void and hence make up the bulk of the population as others would just rather settle someplace more comfortable.

Structure

There are currently 17 voting city-states that make up the alliance. The 18th was destroyed a while back with a series of successive attempts to force a takeover of the other city-states. Each is numbered and is just as frequently referenced by its name as its number. The 3rd city-state is Punan, and is actually a string of 9 ports and is renowned for the gnomish shipwrights who will repair just about any kind of vessel, from the monolithic dwarf stone fortresses to the organic elf tree ships, and even the occasional mind flayer nautiloid. These ports collectively make up one of the strongest trading centers of all city-states and while only one vote they are one of the most influental members at the clan council. They currently are suggesting a division of their ports to take over for the lost 18th clan.

Assets

One of the best assets they have are the number of impassioned captains of their merchant marauder vessels that are frequently employed by other powers to wage proxy battles or waylay trading vessels from competitors. Second to this is their ability to coordinate attacks effectively across large distances through the dragon eyes which allow navigators to share information realtime and communicate it to their captain.

Currency

Shards of gems. Each gem is appraised and given a value in gem points which roughly translates to what many locations will use gold for. They are flush with crystals mined in the void, whereas gold is used in a number of devices.
