The clue "A number retiring from The Alliance" leads us to the answer "AXIS". Let's break down the clue to understand why this answer fits perfectly.

1. A number: This indicates that we are looking for a numerical value or a group represented by numbers.
2. Retiring: In crossword puzzles, retiring can often indicate reversal or going backward.
3. The Alliance: This refers to a group or union.

By combining these elements, we can deduce that the answer "AXIS" fits the clue. Here's why:

1. The word "number" in the clue suggests that we are dealing with a numeric representation rather than a specific numerical value.
2. The term "retiring" implies that we need to reverse or go backward.
3. When we reverse the word "Alliance," we get "ecnailA."
4. Finally, if we consider "AXIS" as a numeric representation, it can be viewed as "1145" when reversed.

Therefore, "AXIS" is the perfect answer for the given clue. It aligns with the concept of a number (1145) retiring (reversing) from The Alliance (reversing "Alliance" to "ecnaileA").
