Forum:SH Archive/Got some information on laws in the Star Wars universe, where should I put it?

Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 

Anyways, I was going through some of my RPG books, and pulling out all the stuff related to the 5-class law systems used in Star Wars. I think we could make a neat article out of it, and I'd like to see if anyone knows where we can find more or create stuff (or if this article is already out there). I know it's semi-canonical, since there's references to Class Five and Class One infractions in the New Essential Guide to droids. Here are my notes so far

Class- Examples Penalty: one or more of the items on this list

From the Hero's Guide: Class 5- Disturbing the peace, public intoxication, noinjurous traffic violation Class 4- Possession of controlled substance, injurious traffic violation, operating a business without a license, operating a vehicle without a license, operating a starship without a license, assault (without a deadly weapon) Class 3- Attempted bribery of a public officer, robbery or grand theft, aiding and abetting a known felon, assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a concealed weapon Class 2- Murder/manslaughter, fraud or smuggling, assault against a public official, trafficking in controlled substances Class 1- Conspiracy against the government, murder of a public official, sabotage of public utilities.
