The Imperial Penal Code, also known as the Imperial Legal Code and simply Imperial Code, was a body of laws issued by the Galactic Empire. It represented the branch of Imperial legal statutes concerned with criminal law. It consisted of seventeen volumes.
Documented extracts include:
One particular model of the groomer (an advanced model of the older XP-21) contained all seventeen volumes of the code.
It is unclear whether the Imperial Military Code was included within this body of law as a subsection (eg, Section 14), or whether it was an independent statute, with the Imperial Legal Code representing the wider law, not limited to the military, but applicable to the galactic community of Imperial citizens.
