Classes of Citizenship

The Galactic Empire has established three classes of citizenship that all citizens are allocated to. Each class of citizenship is based on the particular species of each citizen, with each class holding different status, privilege and rights within Imperial law, and differing opportunities of service for those citizens wishing to serve within the Galactic Empire.

Class A Citizenship

Class A citizens are granted full rights of citizenship and unrestricted service within the Empire. Having followed almost identical evolutionary paths to the Human species, with no distinct genetic variations due to local planetary influences; Class A citizens possess a common biological heritage or significant cultural similarities.

Class A species are: Alderaanian, Corellian, Coruscanti, Hapan, Human, Kiffar, Kuati, Naboo, and Thyferran.

Class B Citizenship

Class B citizens are granted full rights as citizens, but are limited in service options within the Empire. Sharing a genetically common evolutionary pattern to humans, species of this class are determined to be only slightly inferior to humans. These species may have evolved from a common ancestor to that of humans, however, the evolutionary route differs decisively from that of the human species, branching off into other evolutionary directions as a result of differing environmental factors.

Class B species are: Anzati, Cerean, Chiss, Imzig, Klatooinian, Muun, Pau’an, Qiraash, Sakiyan, Zabrak and Zeltron.

Class C Citizenship

Class C citizens are granted basic and limited rights, including authority to be enslaved subject to proper Slaver Permit, and have rare opportunities for service within the Empire. Considered to be rather rudimentary species of the galaxy, these species are still identified as considered sentient, but are incompatible with human physiognomy and physiology. Having a vastly different evolutionary path to the Human species, the closest compatible common ancestor is barely considered within the laurasiatheria range.

Class C species are those species which are not covered under Classes A or B.
