Hans Rancke wanted to know if anyone knew of any listings of Imperial law
that had been published anywhere. Well, I don't know if GDW was even mailing
to Denmark at the time, but the adventure "Prison Planet" has a seemingly
exhaustive listing of Imperial felonies.
The only reason that I can think of that Imperial laws might seem like carbon-
copies of U.S. laws is because most of the people who write adventures and
articles are from or live in the U.S. However, since very little is ever
mentioned about Imperial laws (except in the aforementioned adventure), I
would guess that the fine folks at GDW *meant* to leave the penal and civil
codes up to the individual refs.
If there are any legal aficionados out there who are feeling ambitious...
this might be one idea for a time-suck.
(Regarding characters signing contracts... My advice to you would be to
look at the referee's passport before doing anything else.)
