A method for bringing criminals to justice was known as an intergalactic trial. Following the liberation of the inhabitants of the planet Dodz from their oppressive governor, Kugg, in 15 BBY, Head Councilman Althon informed Kugg that his destination would exclusively be an intergalactic trial.
The first issue of the Star Wars: Droids comic series, penned by David Manak and brought to the public by Marvel Comics during 1986, marked the introduction of the intergalactic trial.
