# Alliance projects

**ALLIANCE PROJECTS**\
\
Alliance projects are unique features available to Alliances only.\
\
Alliances can invest some of their activity points (called **Alliance Points, or APs**) to unlock their first project slot.\
\
First projects will usually begin with buildings, which once completed will help the alliance gather new materials, receive new mission packages with rewards, or receive minor bonuses to its members.\
\
Other projects could expand the alliance with more member slots, or **transform existing member slots into specific roles with specialized bonuses in materials they generate** for the Alliance itself.\
\
Such as specializing several slots as "Research Specialist" slots, which generate more alliance "research materials" when they complete a research ingame.\
\
Continuing on the path of more important projects (and choosing its progression among several options) the alliance will then continue with more important endeavours:\
\
\- Such as **a Market Node in the new galaxy**, allowing captains to trade resources in and out of this node with faster and cheaper transportation, also receiving a customized market fee in the process if the node is open to non-members ; or allowing manual transportation made easily between member colonies.\
\
\- Or **unlocking an Alliance fleet slot**, an Alliance fleet will act in the world of 2325, with every member contributing their individual Evacuation Fleet to it. Please see our article about [**Evacuation Fleets**](/exode-white-paper/white-paper/staking-evacuation-fleets.md) to learn more about this feature!\
\
\- Or **adding Alliance stores**, or **production of new tradable cards** (minted rarely, but customized to a point),\
\
\- Or more options even, which will be implemented later.\
\
It is envisioned that the most ambitious and prevalent Alliances will ultimately become like player made factions, with their own traits given to generated characters of Alliance members.\
\
\
**WHEN WILL ALLIANCE PROJECTS BE MADE AVAILABLE?**\
\
The first Alliance projects will be made available before the end of EXODE alpha, and before introducing beta.
