Dysisan Republic

The Dysisan Republic was founded in 2540, after the peaceful coup which replaced the Colonial government. It controls the Dysisa System, and is based on the Planet Dysisa. It has managed to remain out of the majority of the Human-Covenant War, at most facing a few scattered Pirates. As a result of its neutrality, as well as its willingness to trade with almost any other faction, it has gained a mixed reputation throughout the Galaxy.

History
"The story of Dysisa involves profit, drills, and heart disease."

- Excerpt from The Outer Colonies

Colonial Beginnings
The Dysisan system was first colonized in 2390, when a corporation began to explore the system, attempting to mine the various highly valued minerals on the planets in the System. Before too long, these colonies began to expand quickly, beginning to grow as a result of both the relatively cheap price of living, constant need for more workers, and the generally safe conditions. By 2450, the planet Dysisa III Alone had 1.4 Billion living on it, compared to the original 10 million.

Insurrection
When the Insurrection began to grow in power, the UEG began to fear the possibility of the Dysisans eventually revolting and joining the Insurrection. This fears were increased by talks of peaceful secession from the UEG. These talks however died down once more extremist elements of the Insurrection appeared, though the idea of a peaceful secession lived on in some Dysisans' minds.

Human-Covenant War
During the Human Covenant War, as the UNSC began to focus on the Inner Colonies, the Dysisans found themselves slowly losing contact with anything outside the System. Before too long, they had lost almost all contact, finding themselves alone. This began to alarm the general populace of the System, however, several politicians and citizens decided to take advantage of the situation to both declare independence, as well as to cause reforms within the colonies.
