Stefan Ukris Amaris (born 2717 – died 2779, aged 62 years) was born in the Periphery and would become ruler of the Rim Worlds Republic. After befriending and masterfully manipulating the young Richard Cameron, he assassinated him and killed off the entire royal Cameron line usurping the throne of the Star League. Afterwards he proclaimed himself emperor and tried to gain the loyalty of general Aleksandr Kerensky, commander of the Star League Defense Force.

“General:
I, with my infinite skills and aided by my loyal subjects, have struck, with a swiftness given only to the righteous, a blow that has corrected decades of injuries and slights to my family. I rule where the Camerons once called home. I control the Cradle of Humanity. All within the Hegemony have bowed before me; those who didn’t are dead. Join me, General Kerensky. Become my sword arm and help me impress my word and wisdom upon the other realms. I’ve no reason to hate you; I wish only peace between us. Join me and convince your men and women to follow you, and I will give you power second only to mine.
But should you dare turn a blind eye to the wisdom of my offer and decide not to join, then heed my warning: I control everything the Hegemony has. All its defenses, all of its fortifications, are now manned by people loyal to me. Should you try to attack, every inch of Hegemony soil will be stained with the blood of the fallen, and every drop will be a burden upon your soul, which must already be heavy with guilt for allowing me to accomplish the complete control of your homelands.”
—Communiqué to General Alexandr Kerensky from “Emperor” Stefan Ukris Amaris, 16 May 2767

Kerensky's refusal began the 13-year Amaris Civil War. It ended with the execution of Amaris and his family by firing squad after Kerensky's reconquest of Terra.
