Founded: 432 IE
Capital: Sophiopolis, Metis
Chancelloress: June Jovann
Summary:
The Metisian Republic was formally established in 432 IE following the Compact Assembly’s ratification of a revised charter creating an executive presidency—a measure Metis opposed as the Assembly refused to allow the former Gilead to secede. Refusing to recognize the authority of the newly created office, Metis peacefully seceded from the Compact, founding its own sovereign republic centered on the core world of Metis, with Sophiopolis as its capital.
Despite the political break, the Republic maintained diplomatic ties with the Compact, positioning itself as a stabilizing intermediary in interstellar disputes. Its independence led directly to the elevation of Amargosa and Farigha to core world status, allowing Metis to retain influence over former protectorates while expanding its soft power.
Closely allied with the independent world of Hanar, the Metisian Republic played a key role in post-Gelt Incursion recovery and reconstruction. Under Chancelloress June Jovann, the Republic supports robust scientific, military, and cultural initiatives. Her sister, Athena Jovann, retained her post as Governor-General of Amargosa, a role that became the senior administrator in the Republic’s Home Office, shaping policy across its territories and protectorates.
