A Federation for All

"Federation...fancy word for what we are. A few hundred beings, if that. Trying to work together to make things better for as many as we can. Make a place for wanderers and refugees to call home. Get what we need to keep it safe. Calling it a Federation is like...a promise."

"So it's...aspirational."

"It's aspirational."

"We celebrate the New Republic, and everything it stands for: freedom, self-determination, peace. But the Republic can only reach so far, and its interests won't always be the same as the people living out here on Batuu, Pam'ba, or Codia. That's why we've all chosen to take care of ourselves. Of each other. It will be hard work, but there's no cause more worthwhile than taking care of your fellow beings. That's what all this is about."

—FFS Elder Miaar Alamu

The Federation of Free Systems is a small spark of hope for a tiny corner of the galaxy, but it's a hope for all who need it. Founded in the Batuu city of Tabanna, the Federation exists to serve those outside the reach of the Republic.

A droid farmer works in the fields outside Tabanna. It pauses to watch two transports climb into the atmosphere, on route for the new Federation colony in the Pam'ba system.
