The establishment of the government on Pembric II occurred in 8 ABY following the New Republic's ousting of Moff Kentor Sarne, an Imperial warlord, from his position. Crev Bombaasa, a crime lord, then orchestrated the formation of the governing body, which in reality functioned as a subservient entity under the control of Bombaasa and his criminal cartel. To prevent the New Republic from initiating diplomatic talks, the government openly declared its allegiance to the Imperial cause.
