Prisoner

Prisoners are, quite simply, those that have been imprisoned, for crimes real or imagined. The reasons for their imprisonment range from legitimate, to completely trumped up or unjust. The places of imprisonment too can be quite various, though the unfortunate realities in most of explored space means that most convicts given prison sentences are subject to a life of misery on a distant and barren rocks. Prisoners can be found almost anywhere in the galaxy, but more often than not in Solist states and on independent worlds with an equally autocratic mindest.
Special Rules: Due to the wide array of variances in rules concerning prisoners, please consult the rules found in the Core Rulebook page 53 concerning prison terms, parole, aging, and qualification.
