The Dereggers sending the lawsuit letters learn the hard way the CRC does NOT like it when they try to harm Alliance citizenry.

Most citizens of Mashandar had no idea why the gigantic CRC ships appeared in the sky, large as the moon, and hanging in the sky in precisely the way that moon-sized eggs don't[1]. They were largely concerned with trying to get through their day.
They were so used to soldiers that the most any of them did was move out of the marching combat suits' way. They didn't truly panic until part of the High Palace Mashandar exploded. Smoke and dust pluming into the air.
The screaming and uproar truly started when they saw their leader in the custody of those soldiers. That was when the public announcement sounded out.
"Citizens of Mashandar, the polity also known as Greater Deregulation Upper North-Northeast. This is a hostile takeover. Your leader is being taken to address charges of harassing a full citizen of the Galactic Alliance. In contravention to the Fellowship of Terran Planets' universal agreement of membership. Your polity is now being administered by a representative of the Alliance. We will listen to your complaints and look forward to working with you to improve your existence."
Four other executives followed the Grandest Chief Executive to the Alliance's fair trials.
As for the changes to their society... the first big one was allowing all citizens the vote.
