This is just some of my thought.
First, what core are we going to use? The original Allegiance so we can use the official history? Or should we use other cores, such as the most popular Dark Nebula, or perhaps Star War? The point is, we need to decide where and when does the story start.
Then we can move on to decide how are we going to do this.
Should there be scenarios (then we might need custom maps made specially for the event)? Or just normal matches that has a story?
I think it would be cool if we can do it like this:
We will have a star map which shows sectors controlled by different faction.
Such as one like this:
Star Map
Players can decide which faction they want to sign up (since the Allegiance player base is not all that large, maybe people should be able to sign up for multiple factions, or perhaps people don't need to sign up at all?)
Then among the players, they will elect a "High Commander". This player will then appoint some staff to form the "High Command".
The High Command will oversee the entire movement of the faction. They will contact other High Commands of different faction to schedule battles. Players under the banner of the faction will just show up and fight. The outcome will be recorded and if the attacking side wins they can capture the sector they assaulted. Each faction will have a stronghold and once the stronghold is captured by a different faction, the faction is destroyed and remove from the campaign, the players of that faction can sign up for another faction if they still want to participate.
The objective of the campaign is, of course, kill all other factions (or to suit the back story better, maybe control a certain point on the map or something)
I don't know if it is possible to have faction starts with certain tech or extra resources. If we can code these stuff, perhaps certain area on the map can give special bonus to the faction that occupies it.
We can also have a group of volunteers write story about the status and news for the campaign.
Here's an example of what I am thinking:

I personally think DN would be the best core to use as it has the most races, which gives players options to choose from.
