Murder was a criminal offence involving the killing of one or more individuals.

Murdering a being could result in numerous penalties. Common ones were life imprisonment and execution. Killing beings on a battlefield did not usually count as murder. A killing classified as murder usually meant it was a targeted attack on a single individual. It was one of the most serious crimes in the Universe. Assassination was a murder which ordered by a superior and tasked to an assassin.

Murder can be contrasted with genocide, which involved the deaths of entire populations.
