Legend

this government assumed control of the planet Brigia during the early years of the New Order. While not expressly allied with the Empire, the New Regime adopted many of its methodologies. When it came to power, the New Regime began to build up the planet's military, using the meager funds collected by the previous government to purchase anything that even resembled military surplus. To hide its misuse of funds, the New Regime instituted a new form of currency, thus enabling it to control trade. However, the paper currency it used on Brigia was little more than photocopied forgeries, lacking any financial backing. When Han Solo tried to bring Hissal back to Brigia, he was able to expose the New Regime for what it was, bringing its activities to the attention of the native Brigians.
