Speeder accident 5744182

Speeder accident #5744182 was a file stored in the "Criminal Sentencing" section of the Ringo Vinda Archives that contained information about a speeder accident that occurred on the planet Ringo Vinda during the Imperial Era. Governor Harkell sentenced the perpetrators of the crash to six months imprisonment for careless driving and an additional ten years because the accident had damaged a bust of Emperor Sheev Palpatine, which Harkell considered to be a serious crime against the Galactic Empire. In 35 ABY, the historian Beaumont Kin cited the file in his book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire when he mentioned the crash and used it as an example of how loosely defined an Imperial crime could be.
