Milagro War Crimes Tribunal

The Milagro War Crimes Tribunal was a court established to try those beings most deeply involved in the pro-Sith administration of from 1,387 BBY to 1,386 BBY. It was constituted by order of Acting Prime Minister Zemma Rufos following the Second Battle of Milagro, but administratively supported by the. The court consisted of five judges: three Milagroan career jurists, judge Jard Grolt, and   Raina Kaivalt.

Most of those tried by the tribunal were charged with some combination of treason, murder, and crimes against sentients; other crimes included espionage, war crimes, and torture. The highest-ranking being tried was collaborationist Prime Minister Deordis Bevrelles; others included Kysl Ssron, the only captured alive by the Republic, and Eldrin dar Grosskis, Bevrelles's private secretary. Many of Bevrelles's cabinet officers were also tried by the tribunal. The tribunal accepted guilty pleas from some beings, including dar Grosskis, in exchange for their testimony and a reduced sentence.

Nineteen days after the tribunal opened, its activities were disrupted when Ssron telepathically goaded dar Grosskis into committing suicide, then escaped prison himself. He was recaptured by Mali Darakhan and Aldayr Nikodon; Darakhan subsequently invoked martial law and executed Ssron. The tribunal continued for another sixty-nine days before verdicts were finally delivered; the only known verdict was conviction on all counts and a sentence of death for Bevrelles.
