The RRA was an organization that had been a thorn in the Amaris' side since the [[Reunification War#Campaign Against the Rim Worlds Republic|Reunification War]], and after a resurgence in the 2740s, its members and sympathizers had permeated all levels of government and the military, providing solid intel to the SLDF and paving the way for them to take control of the Republic with less bloodshed than expected. For this reason, [[Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force|Commanding General]] [[Aleksandr Kerensky]] was interested in establishing formal relations, and in early [[2770]], he and the SLDF recognized the RRA as the legitimate government of the Republic with Lucien Dormax as President.<ref name=H:LoTV1p106>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', pp. 106, 109–110</ref>

By the start of [[2773]], Lucien Dormax had made incredible progress in opening dialogue with the dozens of pro-Amaris worlds and had successfully made his point to the more patriotic Republicans that they needed to build some sort of alliance if their realm was to survive. A conference had been scheduled for May 5th on [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]] to discuss terms and there was hope that the Republic would soon be at peace. Unfortunately for them, the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] would begin [[Operation ALMARIC]] in April, and with very little military resistance to slow the invading forces, nearly a hundred worlds would be annexed by the Commonwealth and the remnants of the Rim Worlds Republic would shatter. Apollo fell in September [[2775]] and Dormax was captured by Lyran special forces, deported to the Commonwealth for interrogation and never heard from again.<ref name=H:LoTV1p111>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', pp. 110–111</ref>
