In the words of the Lord, our Saviour, Mr Robert Downey JR...

"Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy"

Alliances accumulate supercapital fleets so they can fly their collections around with relative impunity. Of course it tends to be awful for everyone who doesn't get to be in the big fleet - as they rarely get to play. This leads to the congregation of supercapital pilots in the same alliances.

Pandemic Legion is famous for this - as they have long had the biggest fleet, used it the most, and thus attracted large numbers of other supercap pilots. But they do not hold space.

And to correct a seemingly prevalent misconception - most titans and supercarriers are personal possessions. There are some alliance/corp owned ones - but the majority are simply owned by long time players who either botted (completely un-policed for a very very long time), scammed, traded, speculated, Wormhole'd or Ratted/missioned (Oh god please no - boring monotonous PvE in the extreme for low returns) their way to 80b isk fortunes.
