The governing authority of the Pijal system in the Inner Rim, specifically the planetary government situated on Pijal, was known as the monarchy.
In the year 40 BBY, Queen Fanry was at its helm, subsequent to her coronation. Queen Fanry initiated an uprising against the Czerka Corporation, but this endeavor proved unsuccessful when Fanry had to deal with a separate uprising against her. Fanry then relinquished her royal position to her relative, Lamia. Lamia then dismantled the monarchy and established the Assembly, with Governor Orth, previously Fanry's minister, in the leadership role.
