Founding
In Admiral Godhzu's mind, one of the things holding back the fleet and its allies was their lack of legitimacy in the eyes of outsiders. Thus one of the first things he did upon seizing command was to declare all territory allied to him to be part of the Republic of Xiy Kiiquldast, the direct legal successor to the old kingdom of the same name. This did little but give an official name to an existing situation, and few of the new republic's neighbours paid it any attention.
