There is no single legal system throughout @The Belt.
Major settlements maintain courts, security forces, and written regulations. Smaller communities rely on station councils, union representatives, contract law, or respected mediators.
@Belter justice tends to focus on survival and restitution. Damaging life-support infrastructure, stealing essential supplies, or sabotaging a vessel may be punished more severely than violence between individuals.
Exile is among the harshest punishments. In the Belt, removing someone from a community can amount to a delayed death sentence.
Corporations from @Terra and @Mars often impose their own regulations within controlled facilities. These laws prioritize production, contract enforcement, and company property. Conflicts between local customs and corporate authority are a frequent source of unrest.
A crime in one station may be accepted business in another. Reputation often travels farther than legal jurisdiction.
