Governor Tarkin : The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us. I have just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away.
General Taggi : But that's impossible. How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy?
Governor Tarkin : The regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station.

Finally She thought, total power was at her fingertips; no more tiptoeing around a senate and bureaucracy. Her dreams were litteraly comming true all that was left was the public statement; the dirty work had been taken care of the previous night.
Chief of State Ann Marie Bonny had gathered the men and women of the senate and outlined her planes for the future of their nation. In order to survive we need one person with the surpeme ability to dictate power and order in this nation. The old system called for a general election held by and ratified by the senate when the previous chief of state abdicated or died. But now power will be wielded through me or my successor or if there is none than another descendant of one of the great pirate captains. She made it clear that they were all now out of a job and some hadnt taken it as well as others.
Many dissenting voices rose up from the floor, yet they had been taken care of that night. The JDA or Jiggady Defense Agency, with its new power granted by Bonny, stole into the homes of these individuals and they and their families were removed to the government prison and labor camps in the plantations.
The military had been the next move and it was much easier than the bureaucracy. It took little convincing for them to support the new regime change, they hoped at least the army and navy would now be something more than a defense force; maybe now they could take back Rouge Jiggady.
The public adress went out over the Jiggady National News, which was now under control of the magistery, that morning.

In Blackbeards Vista, the financail captial of the nation, the day had started out as normal as any other. Stock brokers and workers went to work as downtrodden as ever, with little hope of making any money. The economy had been collapsing ever since the first government of Jiggady came to power, nobody had any money.
Brent Thomas casually strode along the coblestone street, absently swinging his briefcase, when the large television monitors flickered to life. He checked his watch, 7:35 right on time for the hourly financail report. Thomas had stopped listening to them, they never changed: "Another hopefull day of trading opens today, it looks like today may be the day for that big turnaround." Everyday Brent shook his head when he heard this, and everyday he wished that he got into the exporting buisness, the only thing making money in this damned nation.
However, instead of the figure and voice of Lynn Swift the figure of the new Chief of State came up on the screen. Brent, and the dozens walking around him, stopped and looked up knowing that this must be something important; the hourly government address didnt come until the top of the hour.
"Greetings people of Jiggady, may I wish you a fine morning; a morning where this nation will finally change and shed its old ways of disfunction. No longer will the gathered senate impede the progress of this government, no longer will they be able to second guess the policy of the chief of state nor influence policy so that they may be favoured and you the people abused. Last night I have permenantly dissolved the senate and ended its reign of tyranny over the government, from this day forth the only word shall be my word, the only power my power. From this day forth a new Jiggady will come forth, one of prosperity for the people economically. As Queen of this nation we will see a new era of glory for our nation, and the misdeeds of old and the false actions of old shall be rectified."
By the end of the days trading, the market turned around one hundred points with no sign of slowing down the next day.
