In April 1988, the then Emperor-Admiral Jinlinhui made several deals with the cartels and gangs that controlled the neighborhoods of China's major city, using his emergency powers to introduce the "Neighborhood Watch Act", which gave organized crime the authority of government agents, in exchange for their services and a part of their income, being nicknamed by the populace as the "Lord of the Vultures." Protests by the Imperial Electorate were met with brutal suppression, disappearances and eventually disbanded entirely, dissidents were sent to exile in the Altreich Mountains, and life became so difficult for dragonaii that most began to use a mixture of black marketing, prostitution, and gang involvement to obtain food. The Librarius was puppeted by the mafias controlling Nanjing, various godfathers/mothers appointing themselves as Curators to appease the population. The Drachenwachters and wilderjaegern immediately went into hiding as the gangs and crime lords demanded their services, often launching attacks to weaken gang command structures.

In this time, Prince Regent of the Ming Line, Jin Du Ming, and his wife, the Empress-Regent of the Brandenburg Line, Ming Yue Jin, were placed under house arrest by the Imperial Marine-Guard and Emperor Jinlinhui as to prevent interference with his authority. As only one approved by the Curatoria Assembly could ascend the throne, Emperor-Admiral Jinlinhui planned to have one of his "adopted sons", the Black Constellation mafia leader, Huoginduo, replace Jinduming as to reward his loyalty to Jinlinhui. With a new heir installed, the Emperor-Admiral could have his original heirs executed without violating the Imperial Constitution.

However, Drachenwachter Talons of Klaniau and Etervia, under Drachenwachter-Bibliotheca Yueguo Ling, along with members of the Imperial Marine-Guard loyal to the original heirs to the throne succeeded in rescuing and evacuating the heirs out of Nanjing by helicopter. Hidden in the War-Atheneum of the Librarius in Altreich alongside loyal members of the Curatoria Assembly, Prince-Regent Jinduming, and Empress-Regent Mingyuejin planned the overthrow of Jinduming's father.

With the help of loyalist dragonaii agents, the populace learned of the original Imperial Heirs' survival and rallied to their banner, many of the exiled and hiding wilderjaegern joining the armed force that Mingyuejin had assembled. In December 1992, during a fierce blizzard, Jinduming and his force stormed the Imperial Palace.

Upon finding Huoginduo in his bedroom with [REDACTED], Jinduming drew his personal sword, the swordbreaker-jian Blue Dawn, and killed the mafia leader instantly by smashing his ribs in and practically bursting several organs, creating a bloody mess.

He proceeded to the throne room, where the Emperor-Admiral had drawn his own jian, and instead of challenging him to a duel, downright drew his pistol and shot the Emperor-Admiral's limbs, disarming and immobilizing him, then proceeded to cut off the despot's head with his own jian.

Upon beheading the former Emperor-Admiral, Jinduming reportedly crowed, "The traitor Emperor is dead, bless the Dragons!", to which the soldiers around him cried out, "The tyrant is dead, Long Live the New Emperor!"

Upon returning to the War-Atheneum, however, he found that the Formal-Empress had died during childbirth, causing him to despair and fall into a depression for next three years, and despite being crowned, he ordered his coronation to have his Empress' jade qiang embedded in the back of his throne. His companion, the Drachenwachter [REDACTED], however, succeeded in consoling him and convincing him to focus on rebuilding the nation.

Thus the last few years of the Imperial Republic's history have been filled with the purging of corruption and crime from the streets, while the jian of the despot now rests in the office of the Emperor-Admiral, still covered with his blood.
