Yes - they’re referred to as such in A Rending of Falcons, but most sources call it the ilkhanate.  Both are legit.  One might imagine Alaric would prefer they use Alpha.
"We have made of New Avalon a towering funeral pyre and wiped the Davion scourge from the universe.  Tikonov, Chesterton and Andurien are ours once more, and the cheers of the Capellan people nearly drown out the gnashing of our foes' teeth as they throw down their weapons in despair.  Now I am made First Lord of the Star League, and all shall bow down to me and pay homa...oooooo! Shiny thing!" - Maximillian Liao, "My Triumph", audio dictation, 3030.  Unpublished.

He was going to call his the ilkhanate, but on the chatterweb domain registry it said, "name taken, but ilkhaganate is available."

I enjoyed it and am waiting to discuss :)

It's obvious Die Another Day was your favorite- I don't think we've seen a cello used to take out a 'Mech! (joke)

I just finished Voidbreaker and really enjoyed it. I'm not really one for writing reviews, but I'll jump in the conversation if someone else starts it. :D

I finished it a couple days ago.  Good story.
