Comments

Axiom IX: All administrative, judicial, and procuratorial organs of the state are created by the Dark Council to which they are responsible and by which they are supervised.

Only five holidays? Truly this is tyranny incarnate!

Droids specifically designed for combat, assassination, sabotage, and other malicious activities are prohibited.

Droids must not possess weapons or long-range sensors.

I find this highly offensive and is completely inaccurate, as plenty of battle droids are currently in the military under command of Grand Moff Aut-X and I.
