Fiction:New Cyrannian Republic

"The Republic has been the center of peace and progress, a bright beacon of hope in the darkness of space."

- Empress

The New Galactic Republic of Cyrannus, known officially as Republica Cyrannica, in a historical context as the Third Republic, most commonly as the New Cyrannian Republic or more simply, the Republic, is a federal representative republic native to the, with key space in both the and the  as well as colonial sectors in most galaxies of the. Seen as the spiritual successor of the, the New Republic was founded on the principles of democracy, liberty and equality.

Founded during the third year of the, the Republic began as an alliance of likeminded individuals and civilisations which banded together in the name of democracy, exploration and the pursuit of a peaceful Cluster and Gigaquadrant. Living alongside the, the two powers maintained cordial, albeit cold relations for much of the Republic's early existence. However, during the monumental conference which founded the Republic, both powers agreed to coexist peacefully with a demilitarised zone set up along their borders. In the aftermath of the however, relations between the two hyperpowers soured drastically, leading to the beginning of the.

The New Republic's capital is located in the Coru Secundus Region of the Cyrannus Galaxy on the verdant planet of. The location of the capital puts the Republic at odds with many nearby natives such as the and the, though it tries its best to keep the peace. Upon the outbreak of the Cyrandia Wars, the Republic faced aggression from the and the, though paradoxically saw its own universal influence skyrocket to a position comparable to that of the Empire, becoming a founding member of the  and pursuing a positive foreign policy aimed at restoring peace to the universe, once again being labeled one of the greatest beacons of hope in the Gigaquadrant.

History
"The existence of the New Republic, in my opinion, highlights just how powerful an idea can be, how much hidden potential is contained inside an intangible concept. The Empire thought the principles upon which the ideals of its predecessors were long gone, stamped out by the fleets of Star Destroyers and its legions of bioengineered warriors. Yet, against all odds, they persevered and once again flourished. Why? Because an idea can never be killed completely. There are those in the Imperial Senate and the Council of Mandators that urge the Emperor to wage war against the Republic, to crush its people underneath our iron boot heels, to turn into a barren wasteland, to send Apollo and to the spice mines of Vurdon. They are foolish. The Republicans can be destroyed, but the Republic - if only as a whisper, a silent call for democracy, indeed, a thought of democracy- will nevertheless live on."

- to his followers three days after the formation of the, Ianuaria 01 NE

Ever since the days of the in eons past, democracy as been at the heart of the. Throughout the millennia, this would earn Cyrannus the soubriquet of the "shining light of democracy" helped in no small part due to the efforts of the in the period of ic characterised by the demonic attacks of the  and aggression from extragalactic empires such as the. Led by figures such as and most famously, Cyrannus was led into a golden age of peace and advancement unrivalled in the galaxy's modern history.

However, contact with the civilisations of the would forever change the face of the galaxy. A strong friendship was forged between the United Republic of Cyrannus and, which ultimately blossomed into the , an intergalactic organisation designed to provide order and stability to the sprawling expanses of the. Together, the Cyrandia would fight in a series of conflicts which continue to this day, including the, the and finally, the. Fighting against the secessionist forces of the during the Great War would change the very nature of the Republic. Orchestrated by the mysterious power broker known as, the Republic would militarise to an extent unseen in galactic history, all in preparation for the inevitable fall. By the end of the conflict, the galaxy was in ruins with both the Republic and the Confederacy desperately fighting to gain an advantage over the other. At the close of 01 BNE, Tyrómairon made his move. In an address before the Republic Senate, the mysterious figure declared the death of the Republic and the rise of the, bringing Cyrannus under the "enlightened" rule of a single sovereign.

Republic loyalists led by the ousted President Apollo however, dared to fight back. Throughout what would become known as the, various s fought to restore democratic rule to the Cyrannus Galaxy by forging a New Republic from the ashes of the old. Though their trials would be arduous, figures such as, , and even  of Rambo Nation were successful in gathering enough support for the Republic's rebirth. At the monumental Cyrandia Conference, the Republic was declared as the legitimate successor of the old, existing in uneasy coexistence with the Empire.

Rise of the New Republic (03 NE - 05 NE)
Immediately after the formation of the New Republic on on 19 Novemex, 03 NE and the establishment of its government and Senate on, the Republic opened diplomatic relations with many civilisations from across the , including the , the  and most importantly. Many of the more idealistic senators of the New Republic hoped that reopening relations with the Rambo would lead to the swift rise of a reborn Cyrandia Alliance, though the reality would prove quite different, with many in the Nation distrusting Cyrannians due to the events which led to the creation of the Empire. Nevertheless, a passionate speech by Proconsul Apollo before the Rambo Senate led to Rambo Nation agreeing to restore positive relations with the Republic Senate. Two months after the foundation of the Republic, Captain of the Star Destroyer Aeolus discovered a previously uncolonised world in the Coru Secundus region of the Cyrannus Galaxy. Within three weeks, the planet was named and was fashioned to become the new capital world of the Republic. The location of the planet however raised tensions in the region, with the, the and the  all engaging the Republic in border conflicts during this period. Despite these conflicts, it was noted by political analysts that they ultimately proved favourable to the nascent government, with the swift Republic victories over the Icolians and Regellians in particular reassuring citizens who doubted that the peace-loving Republic could defend the galaxy.
 * A Nascent Democracy

By the beginning of 04 NE, the fledgling Republic government sent diplomatic envoys to thousands of neutral worlds throughout the Cyrandia Cluster, with many joining the new Cyrannian Senate alongside the likes of, , , and. Those who refused or vied to stay independent would be respected, with President Apaltar stressing in an address to the Senate that "the New Republic is not the Empire. We are a voluntary union dedicated to the common good of the galaxy."

The year 04 NE was a time of both conflict and expansion for the Republic. In the first month of the year, Proconsul Apollo spearheaded the creation of the and the Pax Infinitus Armada, two organisations designed to faciliate Gigaquadrantic protection in the absense of the. A consequence of the creation of the Accords saw the Republic establishing diplomatic relations with civilisations from all corners of known space, united for their shared committment to order and peace. The capital of would become a Gigaquadrantic centre of diplomacy and commerce as a result. Simultaneously, the newly formed would open a new theatre of the  against the Republic's border colonies, pitting the New Republic Navy against the Pact at key engagements over worlds ranging from Khaidev to Lloannen. However, these conflicts would be overshadowed by the Republic's struggles against far more powerful threats in the form of the and. Though successfully rallying their allies to fight in both the Great Battle of Venetia against the Bisistar and the Cataclysm in the Neutral Zone in opposition to the Corruptus, both conflicts would hit the Republic's military hard, prompting the creation of a new era of ship designs ranging from the sleek and deadly Pheobus-class Star Destroyer to the massive Liberator-class Star Dreadnought.
 * Conflict and Expansion

Despite these devastating conflicts, the Republic stayed true to its word to promote peace and understanding thoughout the Gigaquadrant, though particularly in the. Republic diplomats were key in soothing tensions between the Galactic Empire and the as well as repairing the strained relationship between its two closest allies,  and the.

"The New Republic currently has colonies in nearly every galaxy of the First Gigaquadrant, and controls enough star systems to rival portions of the Empire."
 * Ending the Conflicts

- Imperial Captain Mortgrel, Borealis Incident, 05 NE

As the New Cyrandia Wars drew to a close, the New Republic Military began preparations for the final collapse of the xenophobic Rihanae Pact, which had been hounding the Republic since the early months of its existence. Republic agents with Strategic Intelligene worked in the shadows to exacerbate tensions within the Pact through a campaign of sabotage and disinformation, eventually leading to the outbreak of rebellion which gave the Republic the oppurtuinity to deal a death blow to the Pact. With the fall of Rihanae, the Republic turned its attention to strenghtening its defences and maintaining its borders in the multitude of galaxies it now inhabited. Emblematic of this period in Republic history was the onset of Cold War between the Republic and the Empire despite joint Republic-Imperial operations against the Bisistar, the Neraida and the Corruptus. In the, shadowy elements of Republic intelligence working in consort with the worked to forment rebellion within the Empire's  territories, ultimately succeeding in this endeavour with the added benefit of renewed conflict between the Empire and the Cognatus. The Republic's involvement in the Borealis Galaxy increased with their involvement in, when they aided the Indoctrinate Collective in moving all of their Plazithian colonies to Borealis.

Tensions between the Empire and the Republic reached a high-point in Dekemurios 05 NE, when the attacked the  homeworld of. Simultaneously, the hired the services of the  to provoke a full scale conflict between the two superpowers. The two powers almost came to full scale war before the Syndicate and Imperial State's deception was revealed. In exchange for Republic entry into the war against the Imperial State, the Republic Senate demanded that control over Capricaerón be ceded to the Republic. In a decision that stunned the Cluster, the Empire begrudingly agreed to do so. Over the next two months, the Republic would launch many successful attacks against the Imperial State, culminating in the Siege of Vasuband, during which the Imperial State and the New Cyrandia Wars came to an end.

Cyrannian Cold War (06 NE - 15 NE)
The year following the collapse of the Imperial State was one of prosperity and growth for the New Republic, which saw the ascension of various major powers throughout the Cyrannus Galaxy to Republic membership, most notably the in Ianuaria of 06 NE. Ecclessoth membership granted the Republic sovereignty over the vast resources of the Ko'Vena Sector as well as the three million inhabited systems within. The Republic would also continue to pursue the resurrection of the, attempting to rebuild relations with Quadrantia powers in joint operations such as the Concordian Liberation. Three months into the year, Republic-Imperial relations would collapse in the aftermath of the disastrous Conference of Daeohre'eri, during which the Imperial delegation callously asked the Republic to swear fealty to the "rightful galactic government". Fallout from the Conference would lead to the beginning of the, a reality quickly followed by the Republic's escalation of anti-Imperial activities throughout the Gigaquadrant.
 * Post-war

In 06 NE, the Republic and many other civilisations from across the Gigaquadrant, were instrumental in forming the, an intergovernmental alliance formed to ensure that peace is maintained in the Gigaquadrant. Noted Republic diplomat was present at the signing of the Gigaquadrantic Concordance which created the organisation and was later made acting President of the Alliance for the first year of its operation on. The Republic government expressed hope that the Alliance would foster increased cooperation between all elements of the Gigaquadrantic community and was particularly pleased when the Republic was unofficially considered the legitimate galactic government of Cyrannus, due the Empire's refusal to join the Alliance as well as growing tensions between the Imperials and extragalactic powers such as the.
 * Gigaquadrantic Alliance

"We, as a Republic, know the truth that democratic government shall always triumph over oppression, that we as a civilisation are bestowed with the innate capacity to protect all of our people against threats once considered insurmountable, to solve problems once considered unsolvable, to defend those once considered beyond our reach."
 * New President, New Threats

- President during his inaugural address, 08 NE

The Republic political arena was thrown into flux in 07 NE when President Apaltar announced that while he did not feel comfortable leaving office during the fraught Cold War with the Empire, it was time to step aside to allow other leaders with new ideas to come to the forefront. A popular leader, Apaltar did not endorse any one of the candidates in the run-up to the election, which was ultimately won by of Caelis'caeri. The first to hold such a high position in the Republic, Valkistair began his term by offering his political opponents a position in his cabinet, hoping to promote unity within the Republic in the face of the ever-growing threat of the Empire.

The first test of Valkistair's presidency would be the unexpected threat posed by the Loron faction known as, which had attacked a Republic colony in Cyrannus. Valkistair responded by calling for a session of the Council of the, which resulted in the formation of a coalition led by the against the threat. Valkistair's first state visit took him to the, which had been devastated by the superweapon.

"Assimilation is now irrelevant. Prepare for annihilation. Your cities will burn. Your planets will be sundered. Your civilisation will be terminated. We are the Neraida. We are coming."
 * Neraida War

In the early months of 09 NE, the outer Republic colony of Ithirebor was destroyed by the, which launched a vicious attack against the Republic in what would become known as the. The opening stages of the conflict saw the fall of several more Republic colonies, as the Republic military struggled to defend against the highly advanced Neraida host. Though the war first seemed dire, costly Republic victories on worlds such as Cernunnos and Mou'Llhei rallied the populace under the decisive leadership of President Valkistair. On, Proconsul rallied many of the Republic's allies to form a coalition against the invading cyborgs. To the Republic's surprise, even the and the, joined the alliance—their mutual hatred for the Neraida uniting them against a common threat. However, even the combined efforts of these allies would fail to prevent a massacre at the Concordian Nebula, when a vast Neraida fleet was found to emerge from a intragalactic wormhole linking to Neraida space. Fifty thousand allied personnel died in what became known as the Massacre of the Nebula. The vast Neraida fleet responsible for the massacre went on to besiege many Republic worlds, both close to the Nebula and thousands of light years away, such as. Desperate not to lose the adopted homeworld of the, the Republic military rallied to the defence of the peaceful world. The Venetian Campaign would be the largest ground battle of the war thus far, taking place over the course of three months and causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians and soldiers alike. When the battle had ended, the Republic won a hard-earned victory.

A turning point in the war would be the decisive Defence of Angrenos, when Fleet Admiral led a vast allied fleet to victory over the primary Neraida horde through the use of an experimental new weapon system developed by the former Neraida drone. The new weapon incinerated a vast portion of the Neraida fleet, though the apparent leader of the invasion——fled the battle, keen on ensuring the destruction of the Republic.

Government and Politics
"Because every sentient being matters, we provide every citizen with a voice. Each is allowed to express opinions and participate in government as they see fit."

- Scroll of Order IV

The New Republic is a federal representative republic with executive power being vested in a President and legislative power being vested in the New Republic Senate. When elected by a majority in the Senate, the President chooses a cabinet made up of the Vice President and the heads of each of the executive departments of the Republic's government which remains in power until it loses the support of the Senate, at which time a new President and cabinet will be elected. The chief diplomat of the New Republic is chosen by the President and holds the rank of Proconsul. The seat of government is located on the planet in the.

Executive Branch
"I, Valkistair of Caelis'caeri, do now avow and affirm that I take the Office of the President of the New Galactic Republic of Cyrannus, and that I will protect and defend the sovereignty of the Republic with every fiber of my being."
 * Presidency

- taking the oath of office during his inauguration, 08 NE

Executive power in the New Republic is vested in a democratically elected President, who functions as the head of government, head of state and commander in chief. Presidential candidates are selected by the Republic Senate and then put to popular vote among the people. If a President resigns or is killed while in office, the Vice President assumes power and serves out the remainder of the former President's term. A President's term lasts two standard Cyrannian years and can be renewed indefinitely. When elected, the President will choose an executive cabinet made up of the heads of the various departments of the Republic government and a Proconsul, who serves as the chief diplomat. For short-range interplanetary travel, the President travels via special Presidential Shuttles while for interstellar and intergalactic travel, the President uses the civilian ship Republica One.

The first President of the Republic was, an Count who led the  during the. Elected in 03 NE by the first sitting of the New Republic Senate, Apaltar would serve for two consecutive terms, which saw the Republic rise to new heights of Gigaquadrantic influence. The former President of the, , served as Apaltar's Proconsul, having a hand in the creation of many organisations such as the and the , as well as the restoration of many of the relations that the old Republic enjoyed but were severed by the Empire when it rose at the close of the.

When he declined to run for a third term, Apaltar opened the playing field of the Presidential Election of 07 NE, which was eventually won by Senator of Caelis'caeri. A powerful and decisive figure, Valkistair appointed a cabinet of consisting of his former political rivals in order to ensure stability in the Republic during the dark days of the. Apollo's successor as the Proconsul of the Republic Senate was – former President of the Gigaquadrantic Alliance – was  of Hibernia, a noted diplomat and a crafty negotiator.

Legislative Branch
"It is important to remember that neither the President or the Senate is the true leader of the Republic, but rather the people who vote them in."

The Galactic Senate of the New Cyrannian Republic is the legislature of the restored Republic. Formed in 03 NE, the Senate styles itself as the successor of the Congress of the —officially denouncing the legitimacy of the entirely ineffective Imperial Senate based on. Headquartered in the New Republic Capitol Tower in Republic City,, the Senate exerts considerable authority on the direction of the democratic superpower, to both the benefit and detriment of the Executive Office of the President.

The Senate is comprised of one senator from each member state of the Republic, which is chosen by the popular vote of the population and ratified by the leader of the respective state. Each senator is given a single vote regardless of their representative populations, which—in theory—promotes equality between the Senate's members. In reality, worlds such as, which consist of many trillions of individuals are considerably more influential than a low-population world such as. Considered to be a more deliberative and effective body when compared to the Senate of the URC, the leadership of the Senate constantly works to ensure that the mistakes and corruptions found in the body's predecessor are not repeated. Nevertheless, the Senate is not without partisan gridlock. During the, three main political groups emerged with vastly divergent ideas on the future of the Republic. The Centrists, the largest of the three, believe that the Republic should act with a more forceful hand against the Empire and the Republic's enemies. The Reformists, believe that the Republic should be reformed to more closely resemble the, thus providing greater levels of autonomy to member states. The Federalists are generally inspired by the, seeking to restore a galactic republic with sovereignty over the free peoples of the galaxy.

Society and Culture
The New Cyranian Republic is a vast intergalactic power spanning the Gigaquadrant and thus, it boasts an extremely diverse culture and society inculcating elements from saurian species such as the and even truly alien races such as the shapeshifting Pseudomorphs. However, member states of the Republic tend toward a generally liberal attitude, reflecting the broad spectrum of pan-Gigaquadrantic cultures joined under the Republic Constitution. As a veritable beacon of peace and progress, the citizens of the New Republic enjoy exceptionally high standards of living in which issues such as poverty, hunger and disease are long extinct. In the Republic, no gender-based discrimination is present in the Republic, with no restrictions or expectations placed on the citizenry due to their gender. This has resulted in the military, government and other branches of New Republic society being equally made up of both males and females. Similarly, no discrimination exists based on sexual preference, with heterosexual and homosexual relationships not being viewed in separate lights.

Arts and Media
The New Republic, like its predecessor has an incredibly diverse culture thanks to a liberal attitude toward the arts due to the sheer volume of alien cultures which vary from the more traditional culture to distinctly more alien hivemind-like communities. Unlike the Empire, which is known to suppress any art deemed to be anti-Imperial, the Republic is not severe in censorship and embraces art and culture not only from Cyrannus but from across the Gigaquadrant.

Like the Empire, the New Republic has access to the HoloDomain, a vast network containing a near omniscient connection of information that provides the citizens of the Republic with news, instant communication across the Gigaquadrant and entertainment. Unlike the Empire however, the HoloDomain is not the subject of invasive surveillance. Music is an important aspect of life in the New Republic with a great deal of genres being popular with citizens, though traditional Capricaerónian classical music remains as popular as ever, with the official anthem of the Republic being a Capricaerónian composition composed several centuries ago. The New Republic is also strongly influenced by the cultures of neighbouring civilisations including, with the consumption of Rambo food and drink being popular in the Republic.

Religion
"The Republic takes no position on matters of theology, and we permit each citizen to discover its own purpose, as long as the rights of other citizens are not violated."

- Scrolls of Order

Freedom of religion is one of the fundamental rights provided to citizens of the New Republic. Despite the multitude of religions in the Republic, the vast majority of its citizens are either agnostic or atheist. Due to the abundance and influence of the in the New Republic, the most commonly practised religion is the polytheistic belief in the Thirteen Lords of Caelestes, known as Tredecimism, which has a strong emphasis in the philosophy of eternal return, with "All this has happened before and all of it will happen again" being a key cornerstone of faith in the New Republic. Though Tredecimism has roots in the Libertus of the Twelve Colonies, it has since spread to many other races in the Republic. The second largest belief in the Republic is the worship of the, a monotheistic faith similar to the worship of but in a much less fundamentalist fashion. Believers in the One God claim that it is a force of nature beyond good or evil and that all beings have a part to play in life. Another common religion found in the Republic is the belief in the Rambo Gods.

Species
The New Cyrannian Republic is a cultural melting pot consisting of thousands of different species all united in their faith in democracy. Like the, the and the , the majority of the Republic's population is made up of the , a species native to the Twelve Worlds. However, the Libertus are far from the only inhabitants in the Republic, with other notable species including the, the , the and the. However, these species are only a small handful of the multitude of races that call the Republic their own.

Economy
The New Republic, like the, subscribes to a post-scarcity, post-capitalist libertarian system originating from the antiquation of currency during the era of the. Occuring over ten thousand years before the outbreak of the, this was due to the unlimited abundance of resources within the ever-expanding reaches of the galaxy. Though post-capitalist, the Republic is not a communist or a socialist state, or indeed one with any degree of central planning, with some of the most fundamental principles of the Republic being individual freedom of choice, private ownership and private property. Nevertheless, the acquisition of material goods is widely considered less important than the primary driving force of an average Republic citizen, namely a desire of self-enhancement and cultural enrichment. Therefore, an individual’s occupation – or lack of one - generally coincides directly with their personal desire to better themselves. This element of choice has been a cornerstone of Cyrannian civilisations for millennia, and is no different under the New Republic, allowing it to become an extraordinarily industrious and productive economic power. Though the vast majority of the Republic’s citizens do engage in employment in whichever field they happen to enjoy, the system produces more than enough to ensure that everyone's basic needs are met. The absence of a currency in the everyday lives of a Republic citizen has faded into irrelevance thanks to the introduction of quantum replicators and other such devices, though a unit known as the New Republic Cubit is used to exchange goods with other interstellar entities through galactic trade. Despite this, foreign trade is primarily seen as a diplomatic gesture rather than an economic one.

Though the Republic may sound like utopia in which everyone is equal, this is not the case. The reality of the New Republic is like that of any democratic civilisation dedicated to liberty above all, some individuals naturally have a higher status in society as others, whether that is the result of election, appointment or even inheritance from one of the planetary governments under the New Republic still exercising a monarchic or aristocratic government. Thus, true equality does not exist, though equality of opportunity regardless of species or gender is a fundamental tenet of the Republic’s founding document, superseding all governmental decisions of the myriad of civilisations joined under the Republic's economic and governmental system.

Astrography
The New Cyrannian Republic was formed with most of its key space in the unclaimed territory of Quadrant 82, centred around what was once the, the loyal democratic colonies that refused to submit to the Empire when the ended. In consultation with the other civilisations of the at the conference, the Republic was allowed to remain in this space and was permitted to set up a permanent capital in the Coru Secundus Region of the galaxy. This planet was eventually named, which soon became a great centre of diplomacy to the entire Gigaquadrant. Important planets within the Republic include the homeworld of  - considered the cultural heart of Cyrannus - the ecumenopolis of, the old Quadrantia capital of  and the shipbuilding worlds of  and. By the beginning of the, Republic territory in Cyrannus had grown to include several sectors in the Core Worlds, the Inner Rim, the Mid Rim and the Outer Rim—exacerbating geopolitical friction between the Republic and the Empire.

In addition to its millions of worlds in the Cyrandia Cluster, the Republic also holds planets in both the Xonexi Cluster and the Ikiwa Eropsii Cluster.

Military and Defence
"Our imperative is to protect our citizens, not to wage war. We attack only as a last resort."

The Military of the Cyrannian Republic (Officially, the Republica Cyrannica'l Regha'sam) is the marshal force of the New Republic, formed soon after the Declaration of the Republic in the fifth month of 03 NE. Consisting of the naval Starfleet, the ground-based Army and the enigmatic New Republic Intelligence, the military is a large though efficient body tasked with the defence of the Republic, the exploration of space and the protection of the Republic's allies. The Republic Navy is the largest and arguably the most important arm of the Republic Military, responsible for the protection of the vast stretches of space under the Republic's banner. However, the Navy places a much heavier emphasis on peaceful exploration than its predecessors and its neighbours, with exploration vessels similar to those used by being used in deep-space and extra dimensional exploration.

Foreign Relations
The New Cyrannian Republic promotes an active foreign policy based on ultimately achieving peace and order within the galaxies of both the and the outer Gigaquadrant. To do so, once the Republic opens diplomatic relations, the Proconsul will assign an official ambassador who will generally live in the respective empire. In turn, the Republic will recommend the empire it is conducting relations with to also send an ambassador to live in the New Republic. Before any diplomatic relationship can be established, it will first have to be approved by a majority in the Republic Senate. Similarly, before the President has authority to wage war, he or she would need the permission of the Senate.

Key Relationships
The and  enjoyed a great alliance the envy of the First Gigaquadrant, known for founding the  together and fighting alongside each other in conflicts such as the  and the. When the Republic fell to the, relations between the Quadrants and Cyrannus soured. However, when the Republic was reconstituted as the in 03 NE, relations between the superpowers began to increase once again, though due to the manner in which the URC was transformed into the Empire, relations remain somewhat tense, especially in the Nation. Unbeknownst to modern times the origins of the special relationship find their true origins in the prehistoric interactions between the and the Atlantica, the protectors of the.

In addition to the relationship with Rambo Nation, the Republic also maintains close ties to the, much to the confusion of those who claim that the ideals of the civilisations in question are incompatible. Nevertheless, the Republic government claims that without the DCP, the entire would have been lost during the Annihilation and that the universe is ultimately safer with the DCP than it would be without. However, the Republic is also quite vocal in its opposition to some of the more dubious aspects of the Coalition's modus operandi in war.

The relationship between the Republic and the Empire is one of great importance to the Cyrannus Galaxy, with the two rivals being locked in a state of Gigaquadrant-spanning cold war. As the two largest civilisations in the Cyrannus Galaxy, tensions between the two powers are palpable, ending the period in which both worked together on common ground. Tension between these two fundamentally opposed superpowers shows no sign of abating, which many claiming that galactic war is inevitable.

Intergovernmental Organisations
The Republic is an active member of the 's community and has a hand in many of the universe's most important intergovernmental organisations. The Republic's sky-rocketing influence in Gigaquadrantic affairs is often attributed to the success of the United Republic of Cyrannus, which had a hand in organising and administering a plethora of organisations including the, the , the , the and the United Defence Network. However, the New Republic has also made a mark of its own, having a hand in the creation of - and a key leadership role in - the, a gigaquadrantic behemoth devoted to spreading peace, order and diplomacy into the dark reaches of the First Universal Square. According to many political scientists, the Republic's role in the Mou'Cyran Accords has elevated it to the level of nascent hyperpower, only two years after its inception, much to the displeasure of the Republic's Imperial rivals.
