The Rim Worlds Republic was a major Periphery power until it was destroyed by the SLDF under Aleksandr Kerensky during the Amaris Civil War in 2769. The Republic was located anti-spinward and coreward of Terra, bordering the Lyran Commonwealth in a region of space known as The Rift. In the absence of historical maps, two pieces of information allow us an idea of the size of the Republic:
- The Rim capital world of Apollo is located within the Clan Jade Falcon Occupation Zone after Operation Revival
- Worlds of the Rim Collection formerly belonged to the Republic
These facts imply the Rim World Republic must have stretched along nearly the entire Lyran Periphery border, reaching almost to the Free Worlds League and the Draconis Combine. The Republic must also have reached some distance into the periphery, considering the Republic hid military caches and small colonies (with production facilities) deep in unexplored space.
The Republic is most notable for being the original dominion of House Amaris before Stefan Amaris embarked on his plan to usurp the leadership of the Star League from House Cameron. It no longer exist, having been destroyed in 2769 by Aleksandr Kerensky in retaliation for Amaris' murder of Richard Cameron. Many of its worlds were claimed by the Lyran Commonwealth after the SLDF embarked on their campaign to liberate the Terran Hegemony. The remnants of the Rim Worlds Republic broke down into pirate controlled "States", independent systems, or simply disappeared from star maps.
