Agreed. Hacking is the only reason we still have a military. We do not use capital punishment in any circumstances, and it would be pointless for an unmanned military.

If material is obtained that could be used against our government or nation, then the offender will be executed. For all other cases, say, illegally obtaining personal information, then a massive fine and long jail sentence is sufficient.

This does not apply if the hackers were sponsored by the Cyakan government to attack other nations.

OoC: There's a very big difference between an offence which can lead to a capital sentence, and one that warrants actual execution. For example in RL, between 1723 and the 1820s, the Black Act mandated capital sentences for all thieves who steals anything or any amount of money worth more than 12d, but these sentences are rarely carried out because 12d is such a puny amount such that it does not warrant execution.

Postby Imperium Sidhicum » Thu Jul 04, 2013 3:30 am

Officially, capital punishment is only practiced as a substitute when life imprisonment or banishment would be impractical (such as on a besieged world).

There are, however, many more... imaginative punishments included under the life imprisonment sentence that may coincide with the death of the subject. Those who are banished from the Imperium fare hardly better, having to live out the rest of their days in solitude on some desolate world with a dangerous environment full of hostile wildlife, their names expunged from every official record and their mere mention (at least formally) forbidden under pain of death. Even those who end up on an inhabited world usually don't last very long, Sidhae having a less than pristine reputation outside of Imperium, which means humans/xenos will not skip a chance to take revenge on a hated Sidh.

For these reasons, Sidhae regard outright execution as preferable to imprisonment or exile, so authorities are reluctant to proscribe it, seeing it as giving a heinous offender the easy way out. Sometimes a Sidh is allowed to commit suicide rather than face trial and public disgrace as a special courtesy.

Crimes that warrant banishment/life imprisonment (substitutable by death penalty) are:

High treason
Petty treason
Being accessory to treason
Murder
Being accessory to murder
Piracy/armed robbery
Being accessory to piracy/armed robbery
Corruption (depending on circumstances)
Large-scale theft/embezzlement of state property
Large-scale malicious destruction of state property
Large-scale sabotage of state property
Economic sabotage
Distribution of illegal narcotics
Promotion of degenerate/unpatriotic ideas
Sedition to mutiny

Any third conviction of a criminal offense regardless of nature automatically carries the penalty of life imprisonment/banishment, substituted with death when impractical to be carried out. This is due to the belief that someone who hasn't been corrected by the previous two punishments isn't likely to ever mend his ways.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

The more God in one's mouth, the less in one's heart.
