Federate Republic

The Federate Republic was a very loose collection of worlds situated to Coreward-Trailing of the Imperial border, in Glimmerdrift Reaches Sector.

Description / Specifications

The Federate Republic had little central authority, nor much desire for any. Its member worlds were bound by mutual defense and economic treaties, and a representative assembly was maintained to resolve disputes between members.

The Federate was strongly Solomani in terms of culture and outlook, though its links to the Solomani Confederation were tenuous at best (partly because it predated the Confederation considerably). Within broad limits, member worlds were free to establish their own foreign policy, so relations with other polities varied from world to world. The Spinward worlds of the Federate were somewhat influenced by the Imperium, to the point where Imperial merchants and even navy ships were frequent visitors. Vessels from the Glimmerdrift Trade Consortium were also frequent visitors, and for the most part were welcome.

The Federate maintained a fleet of light patrol craft to deter piracy on the Shashka Main and along its trade routes, but lacked anything resembling a real fleet. For the most part the Federate preferred to mind its own business and let others do likewise. Some member worlds were more active, however.

History & Background / Dossier

Formed around 500, the Federate Republic collapsed during the early part of the Tri-Empire War when the Shukikikar League began conquest of its systems. The complete collapse of the Federate Republic occurred in 985. A government-in-exile was formed at Kinake in 986, and joined with the Glimmerdrift Trade Consortium to create the Glimmerdrift Federation.
