Federation of Outland Republics

The Federation of Outland Republics was an interstellar Human state that was comprised of several individual democratic and humanocentric republics scattered across the Outer Rim and Wild Space during and after the Imperial era and was considered by Imperial politicians to be a splinter state of the Separatist Alliance. While each of these republics had its own government, the presidents of these states sent representatives to attend the Federal Council, which administrated the Federation's judicial and economic policies under the direction of the Premier, who was elected by the Federal Council from one of the vassal presidents. The Federation also maintained a military force: the Federal Defense Corps, which served as both a centralized police and counterterrorism force. During the Galactic Civil War, the Federation remained distant from the Rebel Alliance though the marine units of the Federal Defense Corps did participate in a few space operations to disrupt Imperial shipping. A planet that was part of the Federation was later invaded by Imperial forces, though the attack was repelled and the Federation eventually joined New Republic.
