Klack Crime

Ever since the Klack discovered individualism, the previously unknown concept of crime became a part of Klack life. While Klack crimes are very rare   they do occur. Prior to Union membership, all crimes were considerd an act opposed to the will and guideance of the queen and thus punishable by death.

The most common crime in the Klack society was theft of food. Food was and has always been strictly rationed. In the old days it was rationed due to the alays limited  supply versus the large demand. Now as the Klack are Union members and food is technically in unlimited supply the crime of food theft is no longer punished by death.

However the food intake for Klack is still rationed by the will and command of the Queen. Not because of lack of food but due to the fact  that Klack tend to ignore their own limitations of  storing excessive food. Obesity is a serious problem for a species that has an endo - and an exoskeleton. The exo skeleton of an adult Klack does not grow or expand, and obesity can cause  paralyzation, organ failure and death. Unlike Terran Humans for example, obesity happens quite fast and an overeating Klack can die within hours after eating too much.

While it is generally accepted (and a basic right of any Union Citizen ) to willingly commit suicide,it is still a Crime against the will of the Queen. Feeding a minor too much food however is considered at least attempted murder and is a felony.

Crimes against the will of the Queen are not federal crimes, but still the highest Klack laws.

Ever since the Klack are members of the Union their development towards true individualism has increased and while the Klack in general are the most law abiding Union member (with perhaps the exception of the Narth and the Camogi who do not have any

concept of crimes) they are also the most numerous member species. With individualism comes the personal choice of  being lawful or not.

While only perhaps one Klack in a million commits any sort of unlawful act, and an even much smaller percentage commits a felony.; a species that numbers trillions., that still means 200 - 400 Klack executions annually.
