High Republic

The High Republic, officially the Republic of Levalius, also known as the Grand Republic and simply the Republic, was a large interstellar republic existing from 94 to 2640 ME. The President acted as head of state, while the Chancellor acted as head of government and head of the Senate. At its height, during a long period of peace, it was a galactic superpower unrivalled during its time.

The Republic was founded in 94 ME from the early Thodroni interstellar civilization, the government of which was much more loose compared to contemporary states due to a lack of efficient technology. It saw a quick expansion throughout Andromeda during its rise to galactic power, encountering several other sentient species like the Ohresians and Ev'eas. The Republic, remarkably, saw few major wars in its history, the worst of which was the Nekkyri invasion and subsequent occupation of 2447 ME. During the Nekkyri occupation the central figures of the Republic formed a government-in-exile that supported a mass uprising against the Nekkyri. The Republic was reinstated in 2468 ME.

The High Republic's fate was met with strife and discord as its final years sent the galaxy on a path to anarchy. Senators rivalled against each other in the Senate for power, and corruption and extortion was rampant. Upon the death of Chancellor Jiras Seevo in 2640 ME, a power vacuum was created, and the Republic finally collapsed as the belligerent senators waged war on one another as warlords.
