The Imperial Penal Code, or Imperial Legal Code, was a body of laws issued by the Galactic Empire. It represented the branch of Imperial legal statutes concerned with criminal law. It consisted of seventeen volumes.

Documented extracts include:

• Section 14, Subsection 9, Part C-1.

One particular model of the groomer (an advanced model of the older XP-21) contained all seventeen volumes of the code.

Behind the scenesEdit

It is unclear whether the Imperial Military Code was included within this body of law as a subsection (eg, Section 14), or whether it was an independent statute; with the Imperial Legal Code representing the wider law, not limited to the military, but applicable to the galactic community of Imperial citizens.
