Specific Laws

Laws pertaining to Level 5 planets

  • Galactic law said that developing worlds classed as Level 5 planets (such as Earth in the 21st century and earlier) could not be approached for legal matters. They had no jurisdiction over the planet, and methods such as an H2O scoop must be used to transport any places required to be visited to neutral territory, such as the Moon. (TV: Smith and Jones)
  • Seeding life on a Level 5 planet was against galactic law. (TV: Partners in Crime)
  • Destruction of a Level 5 planet was illegal unless the planet had committed a crime against another planet/race. (TV: The Eleventh Hour)
