Canopian Flashpoint

I allied with the Magistracy of Canopus but it has been many weeks and I still don't see the Alliance Flashpoint. Bug or is there something i have to do?

They may be using a mod pack. Which... in that case, I'd hit up the discord for said mod pack. They are all ridiculously active, at least in the case of the few big ones. Or even hit up the wiki for said mod pack, since....again, the big ones all have rather coherent wikis capable of answering most questions.

OK, thanks. I assumed all the major houses had one. I just need to do the Liao one then. I will have to start a new career just for that. I am usually loathed by them.
Nope, no Mods. I only play vanilla.

Major Houses - Davion (Fed Suns), Steiner (Lyran Commonwealth), Kurita (Draconis Combine), Marik (Free Worlds League) Liao (Capellan Confederation - or as I prefer - TARGETS)

Canopus - not so much

You need to know that the map of vanilla is actually only a small part of the actual inner sphere map. Canopus, Taurian Concodat and so on don't matter much in the grand scale of things.

They aren't even part of the Inner Sphere. The Periphery is a reign that is literally outside what is known as the Inner Sphere. The Magistracy of Canopus and Taurian Concordat, are Periphery powers that are only slightly weaker than the five major powers of the Inner Sphere. I mean it took the might of the Star League helping for the various Periphery states to be successfully invaded, and turned into vassal states.

I think part of the reason the two Periphery states don't have alliance missions is that they both play a major role in the campaign. Remember you are basically indirectly working for the Magistracy of Canopus the whole time. The bad blood between your company and the Taurians would also make it unlikely that you would work really close with them anytime soon. I mean would you really trust the people you just tried to kill, and just now realised weren't actually your enemy?
