"Ladies and gentlemen! In this corner, wearing the camouflage trunks and
weighing in at 210 pounds; the Scroooooo!!!

And in this corner, wearing the cute daisy print trunks and weighing in at
110 pounds; the elvessssss!!!!

Lets get ready to ruuuuummmmmbbbbblllleeee!!!!"

;)

Allies for the scro would be the ogres, flinds, goblins, kobolds, human
scum, and possibly Tenth Pit.

Elven allies would be Sindiath Line, allied human kingdoms, a few dwarven
citadels, Smith's Coster, mercenaries backed by the Company of the Chalice.
And possibly the Shou.

Did I leave anybody out?

One of the great curses(and also a great blessing) is the openess of the SJ
setting. There are thousands of worlds out there allowing a great freedom
for the DM. TSR cannot possibly detail all of these worlds so it is up to
the DM to do so. We have no real definitive list of allied powers for the
combatants, or a general idea of troop and ship strength or supply capability.

For the IEN, I'd suggest taking a look at the fleet strengths given in the
War Captains Companion and double or triple them to mirror what the fleet
strength would be in that sphere during a war. Then double or triple those
numbers for the scro and allies. I'd say the war would be fought between
several thousand vessels on either side.
