Allied Region

An Allied Region was a territory that remained semi-independent from the Old Republic. These territories were ruled by warlords who joined the Republic instead of fighting it during the early days of Republic expansion. The rulers of these territories were given the title of Moff or Grand Moff, depending on the size and population of the Region. Over time, most of the Allied Regions were divided into Republic Sectors and faded away. The Ruusan Reformation did away with the last of the Moffs and Grand Moffs and very few Allied Regions remained by the time of the Galactic Empire - such as the Ollonir Boundaries and the Botor Enclave. Allied Regions were similar to the later Imperial client states.
