The '''Greater Republic''' was a large [[Age of Strife]] [[Human]] empire, that encompassed numerous [[System]]s within the [[Occluda Noctis]].{{Fn|1a}}
==History==
While it contained many worlds, only a few of them contained beacons that were installed by the [[Greater Republic]]. These beacons not only allowed their worlds to maintain contact with other each other, but also could sense passing space ships within a few hundred light years around them. In time, though, the Greater Republic collapsed and was succeeded by the [[Second Republic]] until it collapsed as well. While no longer united, the former worlds of the Second Republic still contained the Greater Republic's beacons and one on [[Primeworld]] gave rise to the [[Triumvirate of Garl]].{{Fn|1a}}
This much smaller empire would use the beacon to maintain contact with other former Republic worlds, but as generations went by these beacons became silent. This led the Triumvirate to believe they were the only [[Human]]s that remained in the [[Galaxy]], until the [[Imperium]] began the [[Great Crusade]]. Interstellar transmissions from the Imperium reached the Triumvirate's worlds and its population was eager to join this new Human empire. However it would not be until several years later, when a warship of the Imperium's [[Night Crusade]] forces finally neared the Triumvirate's worlds. The small empire would make contact and soon the [[Imperial Fists]]' [[Phalanx]] arrived at Primeworld and the Triumvirate eagerly [[Compliance|joined]] the Imperium.{{Fn|1a}}
The Triumvirate's [[Compliance]] proved to be a boon for the [[Imperial Fists]], as they gained access to the former empire's stellar charts. These were gained when the Triumvirate was part of the [[Greater Republic]] and, while the information was at least a thousand years out of date, the maps stretched nearly two hundred light years towards the [[Occluda Noctis]]' core [[System]]s. At least a score of these once belonged to the Greater Republic and the Imperial Fists made these Systems a priority to visit next.{{Fn|1b}}
