A court-martial represented a type of military tribunal. It was composed of high-ranking officers tasked with adjudicating cases of military law violations committed by service members. Clone troopers Fives and Jesse almost faced this type of trial for disobeying the commands of their Jedi General, Pong Krell, during the Battle of Umbara. Princess Leia Organa, a rebel, threatened Luke Skywalker with a court-martial and a return to moisture farming if he failed to follow her instructions during the mission to Ktath'atn. Following Dec Hansen's and Mattis Banz's unauthorized entry into General Leia Organa's quarters at the Resistance base located on D'Qar, Banz questioned why Admiral Gial Ackbar had not initiated court-martial proceedings against them, suggesting that the Resistance did not regularly employ this disciplinary measure. Imperial officers were aware that Darth Vader frequently bypassed court-martials altogether when enforcing discipline.
