The Public Order Resentencing Directive (P.O.R.D.), also known as the Public Order Decree, was a law invoked by the Galactic Empire alongside the Imperial Emergency Act in the wake of the attack on the Aldhani dam in 5 BBY. It imposed harsher penalties on anyone convicted of criminal acts affecting the Empire, and classified the attacks as a Class One Offense. All outstanding fines and levies were to be paid in full.
