- The Balmarians do not merely share their origin with humanity a-la other races seeded by the Protoculture. In fact, their ancestors came from Earth, where they experienced some sort of ecological disaster -thought connected to Apocalypsis- and many of them chose to travel elsewhere using the Crossgate. They were led and protected by the Nashim Ganeden (used by Irui) and Geber Ganeden (used by Augustus).
- Eventually though, the Nashim and its pilot returned to Earth out of a mixture of homesickness and desire to protect the life that remained on Earth. In Alpha 3, it's also stated that during its travels it went to various other planets -in turn letting other races know about life on Earth- but I don't think that's necessary here.
- The Crossgate itself is another creation made by humanity's precursors. The one in the Solar System featured in the Alpha games is near Jupiter.
- The Spirit Emperor is considered so sacred to the Balmarians that anyone else even saying that title can make some of the more duty-minded Balmarians (the generals, Rulia) lash out angrily at whoever said it.
- Since we don't have any Alpha 1 characters tied to the 7th fleet (Kusuha, Bullet, SRX team, etc.) we can just say that the fleet we've been dealing with has been Ephesus's. I also left out as many Alpha 3 characters from Selena's mission list as I could spare (the other rivals, Hazal, Ace, and Etsira). In the event Cobray, Touma, Kusuha, or the SRX team gets apped I'll try to work something out so they can do their stuff. Even post-canon, we can just still feature hostile Balmarian remnants or something.
