There were twelve Alliance Ambassadors to the Chatcaavan Empire before Lisinthir Nase Galare, over a roughly twenty-five year period. All returned without success; of those, four needed immediate psychological help, and one was killed (came back "in a casket"). All not only failed to further the Alliance's goals, but actually lost ground. Species were represented as follows:
- Seersa: 4 (fluent in the language but not the customs; one of them choked and spat up mucus upon tasting the Emperor's before-dinner drinks, according to the Emperor)

The ambassador immediately prior to Lisinthir was named Grandeine; it's unclear which of the above he was. Some of the ambassadors accepted the services of the gift harem.[1] No ambassador before Lisinthir lasted more than a few months.[2]
Lisinthir was the first effective ambassador; after his successful freeing of a group of slaves[1], the diplomatic corps "expected miracles of him. Immediately." He succeeded in backing Second into a corner: when the Chatcaavan Empire did damage to Alliance colony worlds, he threatened to withhold debt forgiveness for debts incurred due to natural disaster relief. (He did not accept Second's initial offer of executing the commodore responsible, as that would not make whole those who suffered damages in the attack, and would not cause sufficient incentive to avoid such raids.) In return, he negotiated for changes to import taxes: taxes on luxuries would be cut in half, and reduced them to a quarter for essential aid items.[2]
