Covenant Law


Overview

Covenant Law is a set of rules decided upon by the prophets and is used on vessels that are in deployment. It is primarily enforced through Sangheili of any ranking or status, but any species may enforce it if they need to. Deacons are held to the regard of Sangheili in that they must enforce Covenant Law as if they were a Sangheili. The rules here are not considered absolutes, and do not cover every possible action one might commit, so you may punish someone if they commit something that would reasonably be considered a crime within the Covenant. Remember that some people may not have intended to commit the crime, so you may want to be a little lax on them if they truly did not mean it.

Punishments are to be given only as the documents below state so. To do otherwise is considered abuse and you can be punished for it.
