Despite the end of House Amaris, the Rim Worlds Republic might have endured. However, the loss of the core of the Republic to annexation by the Lyran Commonwealth, as well as the power vacuum left by the death of the Amaris family and the Republican military, meant the remaining independent worlds—well more than a hundred systems—were left to fend for themselves. Several bandit kingdoms arose in the vacuum of the collapse of the Republic, financed by privateering and ''de facto'' mercenary deals (both the Lyran Commonwealth and the Draconis Combine hired pirates to raid one another); the rest persisted as Periphery independents or simply disappeared.<ref name=FSWp99>''First Succession War'', p. 99: "The Lyran Invasion"</ref> Centuries later, some of these worlds coalesced into proto-states such as the [[Rim Collection]], the micro-states found regions like [[The Barrens]] as well as the [[Chainelane Isles]], or pirate kingdoms such as the [[Rim Territories]] though others would remain active as independent worlds.

The great weakness of the Rim Worlds Republic was the lack of natural resources, especially compared with the resource heavy colonies settled in the Taurian Concordat. However, immigration and the reforms of Arabella Rowe gave the Republic a surplus of skilled, inexpensive labor with a moderate standard of living, a resource the Republic utilized to the utmost.<ref name=TPp19/> Combined with the close political ties fostered with the Terran Hegemony, the Republic ultimately became the most powerful Periphery realm in existence.
