But mnhei'sahe is more than just honor and duty and a code of conduct. The best way to explain it, then, is to show you some examples of mnhei'sahe in action. Let's start with tr'AAmnhe, a representative in the Lower Senate. In a fit of uncontrolled emotion, he introduces a bill that would call for the Empire to cede half of its territory to the Federation. As you might expect, the bill is so counter-productive to the interests of the Empire that the other Senators begin to wonder what would have possessed tr'AAmnhe to make such a proposal in the first place.
Rumors abound, and soon the tr'AAmnhe name becomes synonymous with treason.
Our second example follows t'Lennh, a factory supervisor on planet Gorwah. Her factory produces transtators, an integral component in nearly every electronic device throughout the Empire. In peacetime, her factory has earned a satisfactory rating. When t'Lennh's factory fails to keep up with the increased demand, a sword is sent to her home. You see, someone decided that t'Lennh's poor administration was a severe liability to the economy of the Empire.
