The EBS Wyvern served a long career spanning 158 years in service of the European Hegemony. The vessel served with distinction during three conflicts during its service. It's record was exemperary and it was selected for the site of the Famed Peace treaties of 2245. The vessel was commanded by Captain Francois Delarne between 2132 and 2144. During his career, Captain Delarne became the most decorated Naval officer in the European Hegemony.

The European Hegemony was a somewhat loose alliance formed in the early 22nd century. It has been described as one of the first steps toward a United Earth Government, which was founded in 2150. In the 24th century the European Hegemony no longer existed.

In the 24th century, the European Alliance is a political entity on the European continent on Earth, incorporating the city of Brussels amongst others.  It is most likely a successor to the 21st century European Hegemony regime, thought to have been the first stirrings of world government on Earth during this timeframe.

Most probably, the European Alliance incorporates the whole European continent, but the possibility also exists that it is only part of the continent. It then would not be clear if this power ever coexisted with the European Hegemony, or possibly shares some other relation to it.  

It remains unknown which competences this alliance carries, since Earth is governed by the United Earth Government since the early 22nd century. However, the European Alliance might state a joint effort of the European people to create a unified administration and representation at the global government and, thus, might be very similar to the European Union.

The European Alliance is presumably bordered by the "Mediterranean Alliance", which was referenced in the novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
