Overview
As the Poliesu found themselves subjugated by the Galactic Coalition and assumed as a protectorate under their occupiers, a new government was formed on Ayun-Ji - simply referred to as the United Republic of Ayun-Ji - under GC supervision and guidance. This was comprised of the three more dominant houses of Ayun-Ji following the war, namely the Shiksen, Kelkirik, and the Umbra. The Nymara and the Bojun, both of whom suffered the most loss in the race's history, splintered away and left Ayun-Ji to reform the Grand Tide, which became a separatist political movement and terrorist organization dedicated to wiping out the Rokhandans and Rokhandan sympathizers.
General

Population: 150 Million (aprox.)
Compared to their brethren who remained in the United Republic of Ayun-Ji, those who became the resurgent Grand Tide maintained the race's cultural disposition towards war and conflict and adapted it as their key defining principle. Following the formation of the United Republic of Ayun-Ji, many disagreed and openly opposed the subjugation of the proud Poliesu race. When it became clear that subjugation was going to be the defining state of Poliesu for the future to come, the leaders of the houses of Nymara and Bojun separated themselves from the politics of Ayun-Ji and left the Jingashi system entirely to form their own concordant. Upon reformation they immediately became labeled as a separatist terrorist organization by the new government on the homeworld. Using what little resources they were able to pilfer, the Grand Tide established itself on a new world they called Wuan-Ji in a system near Jingashi, declaring themselves a new sovereign power.
Demographics
As a separatist faction, the Grand Tide is entirely comprised of Poliesu who remained loyal to the Poliesu legacy and their idea of supremacy. They completely reject any outsiders.
Military
Despite their relatively low population compared to the new Republic, the Grand Tide's military quickly rebuilt itself following establishment. Though their martial strength remains of little to no concern for any Empire surrounding them, the Grand Tide employs cunning guerrilla tactics primarily against Rokhandans and whoever they perceive to be dissident factions. Its assets are mainly composed of whatever weapons and naval vessels the Nymara and Bojun houses had remaining from the Secession War.
Politics
The Grand Tide is not considered a political entity by any government, and especially not by the United Republic of Ayun-Ji. As a separatist faction, the Grand Tide finds itself completely at odds with both their brethren on Ayun-Ji, the Galactic Coalition, and their declared nemesis in the Rokhandan Directorate.
Internally, the Grand Tide operates as a tight confederation between the Nymara and Bojun Poliesian houses, though the King of the Nymara, Bau Wun-Ju, declared himself as Emperor - which is more of an honorary title recognizing the head of the Tide's loose government.
