In Allegiance the statlines for all the different ships, stations, factions etc. are kept in a small database file called the Core file, which uses the .igc file extension. By using a program called ICE, developers can tweak the various attributes to improve or change game balance. As there is more than one developer, each with their own idea of what is "balanced" and "fun", several different cores have evolved over time.
Each different Core can be thought of as a 'gameplay mod' and makes Allegiance play differently - ships and strategies which are very powerful on one Core may be completely ineffective on another.
The flowchart below indicates which core is (or was originally) based upon which:
