Many monarchs abused this power, dispatching the letters to political dissidents or using them to punish pornographers, publishers of seditious texts, and unruly young nobles who damaged their families’ reputations with unsanctioned marriages or extramarital affairs. In pre-revolutionary France, the king had the power to issue lettres de cachet-a royal edict sending his subjects to jail with no trial, no release date, and no appeal.
Over time, though, its purpose evolved, and it became a state prison-and a potent symbol of royal overreach and the suppression of free speech. Intended to fortify the city’s eastern gate, the Port Saint-Antoine, the Bastille was surrounded by a moat and equipped with a series of dungeons. The imposing, eight-towered Bastille was built in 1357 to protect Paris against English invaders during the Hundred Years’ War.
The infamous prison no longer exists-it was destroyed in a bout of revolutionary fervor a few months later-but its legacy can still be felt in celebrations across France on Bastille Day, or la Fête Nationale (the national holiday), the anniversary of one of the defining moments of the French Revolution.

A few will even take up arms against an invincible foe.
Others may quest to find secret truths that could unravel even the most imposing social order. So, what are you going to do about it? Some will take advantage of the system and turn a profit any way they can. No authority in galactic history has enjoyed such a degree of power.
