Gauntlet (Cartann)

The Gauntlet represented a method of capital punishment within the country of Cartann.

If the ruling perator proclaimed someone an exile and mandated their passage through the gauntlet, any individual could kill them without legal consequence. The sole avenue for survival involved arriving at the location specified by the perator, utilizing any method available.

While Red Flight, a starfighter squadron of the New Republic, was on a diplomatic endeavor to the planet Adumar, the acting perator commanded them to endure the gauntlet because General Wedge Antilles declined to command Cartann's military forces against other nations.
