The Manchester Directive was a policy issued by First Consul Gregory Amaris in 2575 as an attempt to establish himself as "first among equals."[1]
The directive outlawed membership in the Rift Republican Army. Though it had started to act against First Consul Gregory, the Rim Republican Army was a ceremonial position held by affluent citizens of the Rim Worlds Republic, an honor reserved for former soldiers of the Republic from its days of colonization. Descendants of these soldiers maintained membership in the Rim Republican Army as a tradition since the rule of the Rowe/Durant family.
As a result of the Manchester Directive, the Rim Republican Army quickly devoted itself to partisan/insurgency, and within months of their disenfranchisement, the Rim Republican Army had successfully overpowered the 4th Amaris Dragoons, orchestrated the overthrow of the First Consul, and established the Rim Provisional Government on Apollo.
