Federation Series History: Roblox's Royal Limited Line

The Federation series is a line of Roblox Limiteds built around a royal hierarchy of crowns and tiaras, from Lord and Lady down through Duke, Earl, Viscount, and a disgraced branch of exiled nobles. It launched in March 2012 with a 10-copy hat called Lord of the Federation and grew, release by release, into a family of 19 items spanning 2012 to 2019. Trader consensus values several pieces, especially Duke and Lord of the Federation, far above their live RAP, which makes this one of the more mispriced-looking families on the leaderboard if you only read the RAP column.

What Is the Federation Series?

Roblox published Lord of the Federation on March 8, 2012, for 250,000 Robux with a stock of just 10 copies. It's a gold-and-jeweled crown, and it kicked off an item description running through nearly every release since: a fictional "Wars of Reunification" that reshaped a fictional galactic federation and left behind a cast of titled nobles, a fallen tyrant, and a pair of exiled outcasts.

The series grew slowly and unevenly. Roblox didn't release matching pairs on a schedule. Duke of the Federation followed Lord by more than a year, in August 2013, and Duke's female counterpart, Duchess, didn't arrive until June 2016, three years later. Earl and Countess were sold on opposite Robux promotions (Presidents' Day 2014 and Black Friday 2014) eight months apart. The most recent wave, Viscount and Viscountess, sold together during Black Friday 2019, the last time Roblox added a new piece to this line.

Structurally the family splits into three groups:

• Titled ranks: Lord/Lady, Duke/Duchess, Earl/Countess, Archduke/Archduchess, Viscount/Viscountess, and Disgraced Baron/Baroness. Men wear crowns, women wear tiaras, and the "Disgraced" pair carries darker item text about exile rather than rule.
• The fallen line: Duke of the Fallen Federation, a standalone 2018 release with its own villain backstory rather than a paired title.
• Starstones: four jeweled neck accessories (Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, and Disgraced) sold between 2016 and 2019 as a cheaper, lower-tier way into the same lore.

Two Ceremonial Guard shoulder accessories, tied to the Duke and Archduke hats, rounded out the line in late 2015 as inexpensive companion pieces.

Federation Series Release Timeline

Some of these had hard stock caps that sold out instantly at their original price. Others ran on a countdown timer and stopped selling whenever the clock hit zero, whether or not the stock cap was reached. Disgraced Baron of the Federation is the clearest example: it went up with room for 100 buyers on a 24-hour timer, and only 66 people got to it before time ran out. Duke of the Fallen Federation had an even wider gap, listed for up to 500 copies on a 12-hour window, and closed at just 113 sold. Both final counts match what's on the items pages today, since a Limited's supply is fixed the moment its sale ends.

Federation Series: Live Market Data (July 2026)

RAP figures below come from RBX Invest's tracked data as of this update. The order follows trader consensus street value rather than RAP, since this family has one of the widest RAP-to-consensus gaps of any series we've covered.

Lady of the Federation still posts the single highest RAP in the family at just under 6 million, and it's a legitimate gem on RAP alone. But once you weigh in trader consensus, three other pieces pass it: Duke, Lord, and Archduke of the Federation. Duke in particular is the standout. Its RAP sits third from the top, yet traders consistently price it as the most valuable hat in the whole line, well clear of Lady. Countess shows a similar gap in miniature, RAP under 900,000 but consensus value running several times higher.

Why RAP Understates Almost the Whole Family

RAP is a lagging, smoothed number by design (see how RAP actually works if you need the formula). It updates only when a sale happens, and every sale nudges it just a tenth of the way toward the new price. That's normally fine for items that trade often. It breaks down on a family like this one, where several pieces have single-digit or low-double-digit copy counts and can go months between trades.

Duke, Lord, Archduke, and Disgraced Baron all show this pattern clearly: thin supply, real collector demand, and a RAP that hasn't caught up because there simply haven't been enough recent sales to drag it there. Viscount of the Federation is the one clean exception. Its RAP and its trader consensus value land almost exactly together, which makes sense given it's the highest-supply piece in the entire main lineup at 461 copies. More supply means more sales, and more sales means RAP tracks reality closer to real time.

The practical read: if you're screening this family by RAP alone on a generic items leaderboard sort, you'll underrank Duke and Lord relative to how the market actually treats them. This isn't financial advice, and thin-market items like these can swing hard on a single sale in either direction, so don't treat any one figure here as a firm price you're guaranteed to get.

The Starstone Sub-Line

The four Starstones are neck accessories, and they were Roblox's way of selling into this lore at a lower price point. Ruby came first in December 2016 at 20,000 Robux, then Emerald in March 2018 at 17,000, Sapphire in June 2018 at 12,000, and Disgraced Starstone closed out the sub-line in December 2019 at 10,000, the cheapest entry into the whole Federation family at launch.

This table is ordered by trader consensus, and it flips two items relative to RAP. Ruby Starstone posts the second-highest RAP of the four, but traders consistently value it as the cheapest of the group, behind Sapphire despite Sapphire's lower RAP. Ruby's age works against it here: it's the oldest of the four and the one whose price chart has had the most time to drift away from what buyers are actually paying today. Disgraced Starstone, the cheapest at original sale, is now the most valuable by consensus, which tracks with the "Disgraced" branch's pattern elsewhere in the family of punching above its RAP.

The Ceremonial Guards: A Cheap Way Into the Lore

Ceremonial Guard of the Duke of the Federation and Ceremonial Guard of the Archduke of the Federation are shoulder accessories, both released in late 2015 at 5,000 Robux with a stock of 250 copies each. Neither carries anywhere near the RAP of the hats they're named after: Duke's Guard sits around 35,000 RAP and Archduke's around 37,000. They're the cheapest tradeable entry point into the Federation name, and worth knowing about if you want the lore without the six- or seven-figure price tag of an actual crown.

What Drives the Federation Premium?

Three things. First, hard-capped supply that can't come back: nine of the family's twelve titled ranks launched with 100 copies or fewer available at any moment, and several sold out well under that. Second, a decade-long release cadence gave the series time to build a following that most one-off Limiteds never get, similar to how the Dominus series built its reputation gradually. Third, the rank structure itself creates completionist pressure: collectors chasing a "full court" of Lord, Duke, Earl, Archduke, and Viscount (or the matching tiara set) are competing for a fixed, shrinking pool of pieces that Roblox stopped adding to after 2019.

Copy count differences across ranks are large and don't map neatly to RAP. Viscount of the Federation has 461 copies, more than ten times Lord's 10, yet Lord's RAP still comes in higher. Rank and reputation inside the lore do real work here that raw supply numbers can't explain on their own, a pattern that shows up across most Roblox rarity discussions.

Collector's Outlook

Duke and Lord of the Federation are the two pieces most likely to keep outperforming their RAP figures, given how thin their markets already are and how far trader consensus has already pulled ahead. Lady of the Federation remains the safest RAP-backed gem in the family since consensus and RAP sit close together there. Viscount and Viscountess are the more liquid, lower-cost way into the series if the six-figure-plus gems are out of reach, and the Starstones are cheaper still. This is not financial advice; every figure here reflects past sales and current trader sentiment, and none of it guarantees what any item will fetch on your next trade.

FAQ

When did the Federation series start?

March 8, 2012, with Lord of the Federation, a 10-copy crown sold for 250,000 Robux. The last piece Roblox added was Disgraced Starstone of the Federation in December 2019.

Why is Duke of the Federation worth more than its RAP suggests?

Duke trades rarely, since only 25 copies exist. RAP only updates on a sale and moves slowly toward the new price, so with few sales to work from, it lags well behind what traders are actually paying for one of the 25 copies today.

Is Duke of the Fallen Federation part of the main title ranks?

No. It's a standalone 2018 release tied to its own villain storyline rather than a paired Lord/Lady-style title, though it shares the same "Wars of Reunification" lore as the rest of the family.

What are the Federation Starstones?

Four jeweled neck accessories, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, and Disgraced, sold between December 2016 and December 2019 as a lower-priced way into the same series lore, without the cost of a full crown or tiara.

Which Federation item is the most affordable way into the series?

The Ceremonial Guard shoulder accessories and the Starstones are the cheapest entry points, all released for 20,000 Robux or less at original sale, well under the six-figure prices most of the titled crowns and tiaras commanded.
