Droid Statutes

Droid Statutes were specific punitive measures enacted against owners of lawbreaking droids by the Galactic Republic, in the wake of the Great Droid Revolution of 4015 BBY. They were eventually codified by COMPNOR in the Imperial Penal References. There were five classes of infractions, ranking from Class Five to Class One in severity.

Typically, the owner of a droid would be held responsible for the infraction and punished accordingly. If the owner of the droid was convicted of the crime, the droid was usually memory-wiped and then auctioned to offset the costs of the trial. In extreme cases, the droid would be confiscated and destroyed.
