**"Infernal Alliances: Chronicles of the Void"**

Certainly! Here’s a detailed exploration of your prompt:
**"What if Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel was set in the same universe as The Ur-Quan Masters (Star Control II), before the events of that game, with Hell (the setting of Hazbin/Helluva) being part of the Alliance of Free Stars—even though humanity is not happy about that?"**

### **"Stardust Sin: The Infernal Accord"**

**Premise**
Before the Ur-Quan's genocidal war scattered the peoples of the stars, the Alliance of Free Stars sought anyone willing to resist the Hierarchy’s tyranny. Even, much to humanity’s distaste, the denizens of Hell itself.

**Setting**
Far from the Earth and the Coreward Front, a previously unknown quantum wormhole tears open along the galactic spiral. Out comes a fleet—demonic, gothic, flamboyant—crewed by beings bearing impossible signatures. The Hellish Embassy arrives in a swirl of obsidian and crimson, headed by “ambassador” Charlie Morningstar, flanked by powerfully peculiar entities: the entrepreneurial demon Alastor, bodyguard Vaggie, and the impish agency of Helluva Boss (Stolas, Blitzø, Loona, and more).

**The Grand Assembly**
On the crystalline world of Yanther’s Assembly, the races of the Alliance are called to council. The Syreen bristle at Hell’s predatory sexuality; the Yehat are impressed by Hell’s warrior code and Lincolnesque honor duels; the Shofixti try (and fail) to prank the Imps—much stabbing and tail-biting ensues.

The Human delegation, fresh from First Contact, insists Hell’s inclusion is a mistake:

> “They are literally demons. They traffic in torment and make deals for souls.”
> “So do your politicians," retorts Alastor cheerfully, voice crackling with radio static.

Paging through their own Intergalactic Codex, the Chenjesu explain:
> All sentient rights-claimants under the Alliance Compact are welcome. Hell meets the standard, even if their extradimensional realm is...unusual.

**The Deal with the Devil**
With Hell’s commitment come infernal fleets—baroque starships with transdimensional weapons, powered by contracts, sin-stained aether, and the raw will of the damned. Strategic advisors like Charlie urge non-lethal strategies: redemption, truce, finding a better way.

But other factions, like Alastor—or “The Radio Demon”—see potential for chaos and bloodshed in this galactic war. Meanwhile, the Imps (through the Immediate Murder Professional agency, naturally), take odd jobs assassinating Hierarchy warlords for the right price.

**Tensions**
- **Earth’s Fury**: Human commanders balk at fighting alongside literal demons. Protestors on Earth riot, conspiracy theorists run wild, and the Catholic Church is apoplectic.
- **The Infernal Edge**: Hell’s unique powers (possession, infernal pacts, unorthodox tech) give the Alliance an edge in shadow-warfare, covert ops, and morale attacks (a single Alastor speech can demoralize an entire Ilwrath fleet).
- **Redemption vs Damnation**: Some side with Charlie’s dream of cosmic redemption. Others believe Hell is using the Alliance as a recruiting ground for souls (which, to be fair, is kind of true).

**Foreshadowing**
As the Ur-Quan approach, the future of Hell in the Alliance remains uncertain. Friendships form, betrayals spiral, and in the darkest voids of space, even the damned can find hope—or temptation.

**Conclusion**
The fate of the stars hangs, as ever, on unlikely connections. Demons and mortals, slaves and monsters, outcasts and would-be-heirs of Hell: united—if barely—against an enemy that would see them all chained.
