Authority Legal Codes

Legends Linked from 1 article

Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Authority Legal Codes were a set of laws enforceable by the Corporate Sector Authority. Since the primary focus of the CSA was to maintain profitability, Class A infractions of the Legal Codes included piracy, smuggling, industrial espionage, and data-slicing. In contrast, murder and assault were only Class D infractions, covered under the "Unapproved work behavior" and "Disrespectful behavior to personnel" sections. The wording of the Legal Codes technically allow for piracy against non-Authority targets, but Security Police enforcing the law care little for this loophole.
