Infringement against pan-corporate law falls into two basic categories: infringement by minor corps and infringement by megacorps . The first case is a no-brainer . If the Corporate Court decides that a minor corp (any corporation not classified as AAA) has broken a law and warrants punishment, it gives mandate to one or more of the major corps to a given degree . This mandate grants the megacorp official authorization to use its security assets against the guilty corporation, to the specified extent . A mandate can range from relatively minor destruction by black ops assets to " open season , " where the enforcing megacorp can destroy the target corp .
