Neutral states are states or planets that are members of the Alliance but maintain diplomatic relations with it. These states often have unique cultural, political, or historical reasons for maintaining neutrality. While they are not full members of the Alliance, they can benefit from trade agreements and diplomatic channels. Neutral states can also serve as mediators in conflicts, offering impartial perspectives.
The Azal'qan territories on Tempus are an example of a neutral state. They maintain a neutral stance due to their focus on spiritual pursuits. The Mars colony remains neutral due to reservations about fully integrating into a unified governance structure like the Intergalactic Alliance.

Neutral states are not obligated to participate in Alliance-led military operations or provide resources for such endeavors. However, they may offer humanitarian aid or diplomatic support in times of crisis.
