History
In 3085, following a rebellion on Ferris, Clan Hell's Horses abandoned the Barrens region.[4]. Left without support and fearing what might befall them, in 3086[5] the worlds of The Rock[6], Drask's Den[7], Paulus Prime[8], Crellacor[9] and Gustrell[10] negotiated to form a union[11]. Drawing inspiration from the Clans and more ancient sources, the new Republic would maintain the caste system, but ensure that no caste ruled over the others[12]. Instead each caste on each world would elect representatives to a senate, which would collectively govern the Republic[13]. Lacking a strong military, the Republic adopted a pacifist stance, but was repeatedly attacked by the Oberon Confederation and Ferris Collective[14]. The Hell's Horses came to consider the Republic a useful buffer state, and were more receptive than other powers to calls for aid[15].
Military
The Republic's Warrior Caste was mentored by Clan Hell's Horses, who provided the Republic with ten trinaries of tanks in the decade after it's formation[16]. The downside of the Horse's assistance was their encouraging the fledgling Warriors to consider themselves above the other castes, creating a risk of coup[17].
