Once known as the Republic of Malta, and the Maltese 72nd Fleet before that, the Liparian Republic is a marginally independent microstate in the northern Taus that aims to bring about a truly free and independent Tau sector governed by those that live within it, unburdened by the constant warring of the Houses and the raiding of the Nationalists of Malta. All are welcomed within the Republic with open arms, with many who make up the microstate's population being refugees from Leeds and Erie, with the rest comprising a mixture of enterprising souls seeking opportunity, outlaws hoping for a fresh start, and countless other origins from across Sirius and Gallia.

Like the renegade Maltese state that predeced it, Lipari is tied intimately with the Crayter Republic, and is itself a client state within the Crayter Federal Republic, albeit with a largely independent foreign policy and military defense force. This association has had its ups and downs, with much of the Republic's recent headaches arising from the deeply admonished Treaty of Harris; Though Lipari is not itself a signatory, its association with Crayter has not made relations with its prospective Tau partners easy, Treaty or no.

Similar to the Republic of Malta before, Lipari does not outright ban the buying and selling of cardamine; In fact, the trade is largely regulated where possible, with efforts made to help facilitate the import of cardamine where possible to alleviate the ailments of the populace that require it, as well as to continue the Republic's efforts in studying potential applications for the drug. Despite this pragmatic approach, the lack of exposure to Malta's atmosphere saw many of the old Republic's leadership die off in the years preceding the Blackout, with the heads of government shifting from those with militant background to ones that largely preferred diplomacy.

A nation of morals as well as laws, 'idealism' is for many the over-arching goal of daily life. Whether it's braving the bitter cold of the Bornean surface to attending conferences with less-than-savory groups, Lipari is driven by a dream to see their home become a beacon of liberty, and the Taus to power the future of the cluster. A never-ending mission to help the helpless, champion democracy, and bring peace and law to space that has only seen death and chaos. It is an aim that has stood true since the days of the 72nd Fleet, and one that will persist as long as the nation does.

While only a microstate, the Republic functions more or less like any other nation of Sirius would. This explanation here is merely that, in the event that people wonder from an oorp perspective what this faction's position is.
The Republic is the product of nearly a decade of continuous, ever changing roleplay that has never strayed from being a malleable fabric from which to work off of. Every action that has been put on the 72nd Fleet, as well as the Republic, is ingrained into their lore. Every player-made interaction, every fight, every bit of comm-based roleplay has been incorporated into making the Republic as fleshed-out and player-built as any other faction in Discovery. Good and bad decisions will be made, RP will go both ways, but in the end the Republic will always be what it has been for almost a decade: A player-made experience of a story an entire Discovery lifetime in the making.

I keep a high bar set for this faction, like I do any others I'm in or leading. If you have any constructive feedback, or you want to help with improving this project, feel free to post here, or join the Republic's discord server:

Especially it is prominent with Malta, since inRP any rebels would be cut off the Cardamine by the government and left to slowly die, making the rebellion nigh impossible. Same applies to the maintenance of any big park of ships that, without economy to sustain it, would just rot. More especially without the support of the Orange Alliance - right now the economy of Malta is quite highly dependent on Cardamine, like, say, Saudi Arabia on oil in real world. Being cut off from it would mean a deep and turbulent crisis, and chosen allies of Crayter or Commonwealth of Liberty, who are weak economically, make the political and economical agenda even more questionable.

Also peculiar how the lore presents Republic of Malta as a "alternative" to current, for some reason "corrupt" (every revolutionary faction in Disco uses this word) while current Maltese regime IS a republic (albeit plutocratic).

The faction concept is interesting, though. Fancier MOA with consistent lore.

There is an alternative for Cardamine and alternative ways to build the economy. Besides, the Republic of Crayter, Hellfire Legion and the Independent Miners Guild have shipyards in their possession, and it is highly likely that one of those entities allow maintenance of their allies' ships on those installations, likely, Sabah is utilised in that case.

If Spectre decided to take more of a civilised approach - there might be a deal with Cryer about Cardamine Stabiline supplies to subsequently replace the high demand in the drug native to Malta.

Also, some of revolutionary factions may have some shadow funding by influential people occupying a certain high rank in a corporation, this might be the case as well.
