Capital law of the Golden Empire

The capital law of the Golden Empire was an occasionally-revised edict in the Golden Empire listing a number of crimes for which all courts, on all worlds, were mandated to prescribe a sentence of death if the accused was convicted.

As of 140 ABY, the list of crimes in the law was:
 * Sexual assault of a sentient not of the age of majority
 * No actual age was specified, as different species matured at different rates. The age of majority for each sentient species was specified under local law.
 * Treason
 * Desertion (military crime, during war)
 * Trafficking in Qua blood
 * Assault on the Sovereign of the Golden Empire
 * Slavery
 * Organized crime

Methods
Rin Sakaros left most native methods of execution intact, unless she considered them impermissibly inhumane, such as the Zyked method of tossing convicts into the on Deshad. The normal method of execution in the Empire was firing squad for most crimes. However, Rin had a tendency to have slavers executed more brutally; crucifixion was common.
