GSTVA, GTVSA, GTSVA?

You could change the name to something else as well. Example: STV Alliance; or HV Alliance; or *Creative name here*

EDIT: or something simpler: the Triple Alliance / Triple Galactic Alliance

EDIT 2: I just noticed that you can call it the Galactic Triple Alliance.

We were tight with the Dutch back in the day

United Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance? Everyone loves redundancy these days

[karajorma]

Terran Terran Vasudan Alliance.

The NNGTVSAF.

Neo-Neo-Galactic-Terran-Vasudan-Shivan-Alliance-Front.

Only FRED has the power to control this alliance.

Or just Galactic Federation of Free Alliances.

The GTA was headquartered in Sol because that is where humans are from. The VPN was stationed in Vasuda Prime because that is where the vasudans are from. Both governments were "moved" during the great war (VPN to Aldebaran, GTA to Delta Serpentis). The GTVA is the combination of both of those governments, so it makes sense that it would be in a neutral place (Beta Aquilae). Just because Sol is reestablished doesn't mean that that is where the GTVA would move to (unless the Vasudans became greatly diminished and needed the protection of humans).

Also, even given a stable Sol, their technology would be behind the GTVA. Sure, the Lucifer wreckage would help, but they still would be behind. I think that there would be a brief skirmish at the most, maybe driven by the leaders who didn't want to give up power (kinda like a Denethor/Aragorn situation in LOTR). At the end, there would be the GTVA that is bolstered by the reintegration of Sol.

P.S. On a side note, wouldn't it be cool if the Sol technology somehow was superior to the GTVA and they reopened the jump node to delta serpentis first?

[Veers]

Technology wise, it does depend on what happens after the node closes. Looking at BP, it makes sense that the technology is improved to suit their needs. While the GTVA is more advanced overall, the UEF has refined the technology, giving them a pretty dangerous edge as well.

If Sol is in complete anarchy for example, doubtful much would have changed then.

[TrashMan]

It also should b noted that Sol would have remains from the Lucifer.

[Luis Dias]

It would have been slightly fun to have a mod where the GTVA was all behaving like the creeps they were in BP only to find out Sol had replicated the Lucifer's beams and shields' technology and applied them to a next-gen elite fleet "just in case". BP:WiH would then be about how the GTVA had again overestimated its enemy and was now in the process of trying to nuke the nodes before Sol went all biblical on their asses.

Fun for a minute or so I guess.

EA beams in Inferno(R1) were dangerous, even than their Shivan counterparts.

I suddenly thought "beams fired through subspace"

This would definitely venture into annoying fanfic territory.

[MatthTheGeek]

... isn't that literally INF's plot.

[Luis Dias]

is it? It has been like almost ten years since I played it last time... and I wasn't exactly playing it for the plot even.

[MatthTheGeek]

Well, at least the whole

only to find out Sol had replicated the Lucifer's beams technology and applied them to a next-gen elite fleet "just in case". [...] would then be about how the GTVA had again overestimated its enemy

is definitely spot on.

This would definitely venture into annoying fanfic territory.

Which is quite ironic when you know BP started as an INF fanfic.

[Luis Dias]

I will always regard INF's last big playable mission  (I don't even remember its name) with high esteem. That soundtrack was awesome and I didn't mind repeating that damned impossible mission 30, 40 times. Just for the soundtrack.

[Mongoose]

That would be "Nemesis," and yeah, it's one hell of a mission.

[NGTM-1R]

... isn't that literally INF's plot.

Notrly. The GTVA went in expected a peaceful recontact and the EA turned out to be a bunch of militaristic assholes who'd been waiting decades for the Shivans to poke their noses in again and these aren't Shivans, but **** it, let's roll!

The EA did the underestimating, have failed to reckon with the logistical difficulties of multi-system operations and the size of the GTVA fleet.

[CT27]

If you play the unofficial Inferno RI prequel (Sol:  A History), you get to watch the process of the EA becoming space Nazis.
