Description
Law enforcement varies between civilizations, but most recognize the Interstellar Colonial Charter as the foundation for criminal justice. Piracy, slavery, unauthorized artificial intelligence modification, biological warfare, Xenomorph trafficking, and Precursor artifact smuggling are prosecuted throughout Accord territory. Local governments maintain independent courts while cooperating through extradition treaties and shared investigative networks.
Justice emphasizes rehabilitation whenever possible, though crimes threatening entire civilizations receive severe penalties. Certain offenses, including deliberate Hyperlane sabotage and unauthorized release of existential biological hazards, are considered crimes against civilization itself.
