Also if one looks up the Battle of Schann-tau, which is referenced in the Gaiden, it suggests the frontline has flowed in the direction of the Alliance and/or the Empire has expanded as by the main series, Schann-tau is within the Empire and is a battle site in the Imperial Civil War[[User:Iracundus|Iracundus]] 04:35, 15 December 2011 (UTC) | Also if one looks up the Battle of Schann-tau, which is referenced in the Gaiden, it suggests the frontline has flowed in the direction of the Alliance and/or the Empire has expanded as by the main series, Schann-tau is within the Empire and is a battle site in the Imperial Civil War[[User:Iracundus|Iracundus]] 04:35, 15 December 2011 (UTC) | ||

Strategic Upper Hand?
Not so sure about that statement of the Alliance having the upper hand. I always saw the the situation as stalemated with slide over to the Empire by the construction of Iserlohn Fortress. The Alliance was stuck on the defensive in a war of attrition that ultimately they could afford less than the Empire. Furthermore, it was a war which the Goldenbaum dynasty would never end as ideologically the Galactic Empire laid claim to being the sole government over all humanity and thus by definition the conflict was merely a rebellion and not a war with an external power, with whom there could be any treaties.
