Defense

Any officer who has been charged with a Code of Conduct violation has the right to present a defense in their behalf in order to clear the charges, if there is a questionable doubt the accusations were not made properly. The accused officer(s) may call upon their direct superior to assist them in their defense, though any commanding officer is under no obligation to do so and has the right to refuse such a request. The accused may present any concrete evidence in their behalf, call character witnesses, and plead their case to the Imperial Command Authority in their defense.
