The hereditary rulers of the planet Plazir-15, who later transitioned to an elective system, were known as the Royal family of Plazir-15. During the New Republic Era, members of this family included The Duchess and Captain Bombardier. This couple brought about a radical change by introducing democracy into the government and social structure of Plazir-15. Initially considered "noble," the family's status was elevated to royal after the establishment of the new democratic charter.
