“Our culture has been betrayed. We'll make sure that it survives ages to come!”
The New Ermitant Republic was a short-lived, splinter faction of Ermitant from the Ermitant Empire after it was absorbed into the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus. Refusing to submit themselves to Imperial law, these Ermitant fled to the Cyranai Galaxy through a wormhole and settled there in an attempt to restart their lives. Unfortunately, however, they would soon realize that they had settled near the dreaded Bisistar, which would lead to the Ermitant folk going through further tragedy.
History[]
Creation[]
The New Ermitant Republic was created as a consequence of the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus's manipulations of the race, where Acolyte Meketanor assassinated President Gharrrko and took his place through shapeshifting, then announced the Ermitant Empire would willingly be absorbed into the Galactic Empire's ranks. The decision proved very divisive among the populace, and while a large portion agreed to it, a separate faction led by Captain Nondarrrt refused to accept the decision and fled away from Ermitant space.
These Ermitant led by Nondarrrt would find a wormhole leading to the Cyranai Galaxy and use it to flee the Cyrannian Empire. The latter, unwilling to send a military force into uncharted Cyranai space to go after what they considered an inconsequential rebellion, simply collapsed the wormhole after the rebels fled through it in order to stop others from following them. The rebels themselves would discover a new, unknown galaxy to settle in, naming themselves the New Ermitant Republic, who would succeed where the Ermitant Empire failed.
Dark Times[]
After some weeks in Cyranai, the Republic had finally established their new capital. Calling it "True Puria", they prepared to start expanding in this new galaxy away from the corrupted Galactic Empire of Cyrannus. Choosing the young senator called Milinitt as their new president, the Ermitant hopped for a better future in there. But they were not alone in this new galaxy. Milinitt and Nondarrrt were soon contacted by an unknown alien race. With a distorted image which only showed a silhouette in the darkness, the aliens refused to say who they were, but still greeted the Ermitant and claimed to be interested in helping them evolve in their new territory. The Ermitant, of course, were very happy with these news, and thanked the aliens for their help.
Little did they know, however, the aliens were the manipulative and cunning Bisistar Domain, the most powerful empire of Cyranai. They had little intention in helping the Ermitant Republic, and only planned to manipulate them for their own selfish reasons.
Cyranai Civil War[]
The Ermitant eventually discovered the Bisistar Filtroo Catulus in their government, and after this, declared war on the Bisistar in the event known as the Cyranai Civil War. Uniting several local minor powers to their side, the Ermitant launched attacks on the Bisistar Domain, but due to the vast technological advantage of the Bisistar, they suffered no losses from the event and utterly defeated the Ermitant and their allies. Catulus eventually began spreading lies about the Ermitant to their allies, claiming they were using them to fight their war for them, leading to these allies to eventually turn on the Ermitant and broker peace with the Bisistar instead, now believing them to be innocent victims.
As punishment for this attempt at contesting their might, the Bisistar Domain launched a full assault on the Ermitant Republic, destroying it into its entirely. The survivors of the Ermitant escaped through a separate wormhole which took them to the Quadrant Galaxies where, by chance, they happened to emerge in the territory of the New Cyrannian Republic. Contacted by President Apaltar, the Cyrannian Republic proceeded to provide shelter to the escaped Ermitant, leading them to join their ranks rather than attempting to be a government of their own; while the dream of the New Ermitant Republic was dead, perhaps they could aid the New Cyrannian Republic's goals instead as gratitude for their aid.
Government and Politics[]
The New Ermitant Republic was largely identical to the Ermitant Empire in how its government was structured, except it now fully declared itself to be a republic by name. Like the old nation, it was led by a president elected by popular vote and governance over their space was split in sub-sectors, each led by a governor, who were in charge of overseeing the legislative side of the government. Unlike the Ermitant Empire, however, there was no vizier position, with it being discarded outright due to being seen as archaic.
Society and Culture[]
The New Ermitant Republic was a heavily mercantile faction much like its predecessor, but its age, small size and inexperience in dealing with the native races of Cyranai meant their economical power was minimal, which added to their daily struggle of survival. The Ermitant who composed the Republic had a strong sense of freedom, refusing to bow down to what they perceived to be tyranny. Its soldiers were, by extension, extremely loyal and dutiful, but extremely few in number; even at its strongest, the Republic's military force was only a fraction of the Ermitant Empire's, which was already one of the least militarized nations of Cyrannus.
Astrography[]
At its apex, the New Ermitant Republic controlled about a hundred worlds in the Cyranai Galaxy, centered around the capital world of New Puria. They did not have the population or time to expand any further than this, making them among the smallest powers to have ever existed in the Cyranai Galaxy. Their territory bordered the outskirts of the Bisistar Domain, and the reptilian aliens watched their expansion closely, ensuring they only settled where it was acceptable for the Bisistar.
