Law Enforcement
The laws of the Galactic Empire of Holy Trek are important, as they guarantee the protection of the citizen and foreign visitor. The Imperial Law Enforcement Bureau (ILEB) regulates the laws as written by the captain-governor of each captaincy within a district. The ILEB works closely with the Imperial Bureau of Investigation (IBI), an officer of the Interior Ministry on enforcement of the laws. Foreigners residing outside Diplomats Square are subject to Holy Trek law just as the citizen is.

In the case of enemy nation leaders captured in the course of a war, depending on their crimes, they are either sent to UN Headquarters for trial on charges of crimes against Nations (in this event a 10-nation panel decides the punishment for the ex-leader and their nation.), or if the charges are crimes against the Sacred Lands, a trial is conducted in the Imperial capital (in this event a 10-person committee decides the punishment, which more often than not is execution-to be done by either guillotine, hanging, or electrocution).
