Android Legality

## Android Legality in the United Galactic State

The first laws regarding the legality of androids was in 2,161 AD when the first proposed plans of creating an android were constructed. The android was to be name John Fox after the most common first name in the nation and the use of the President's last name. The plans came into massive debate in the Senate and it was eventually decided to allow the creation plans to go forth as long as the android would be considered property of the government and that it had no rights. The android's construction was completed the following year and was finally put into operation in 2,163 AD.

## Android Legality in the Galactic Federation

Androids were initially an accepted type of droid and since the establishment of the nation in 2000 BBM, they have been accepted. Weariness around androids began around 1800 BBM and since then many Shrai and Humans have become even more weary of androids.

An incident that occurred in 1586 BBM involving two androids called TPK-R (Jatanan) and RF-124-R (Tuekanan) led to a large distrust of androids. The androids were programed to serve a family of wealthy humans on the planet of Shrun but they overcame their programming and instead murdered the family, believing themselves to be superior to humans. The androids were not initially apprehended but when they demanded that Chancellor, Tu'Prama, give up his position of Chancellor of the Shraian Galactic Empire after explaining their murders, they were caught for their actions. The androids attempted to resist the police officers and killed three shrai and one human but were eventually apprehended and destroyed. The event led to nationwide resistance to the androids and soon political parties sprouted up for and against the legalization of androids.

Androids were initially reprogrammed under a new regulation called the Android Safety Act in 1584 BBM. The act reprogrammed androids to lose the capability of learning without consent and were now monitored for any non-commanded responses, usually leading to deactivation.. The act was generally supported by most political parties and the general public but some argued that it was against android rights whereas other argued that the regulations should go further and even some who suggested that androids should be deactivated for the greater good. Chancellor, Tu'Prama, was a supporter of the Android Safety Act but was also a believer that the act could have gone further, sparking the second Android Safety Act in 1583 BBM that required that androids are specifically specified and could not ever be mistaken as a real species. Chancellor, Tu'Prama, resigned that same year after his son died but his remark about androids and his belief that they were unsafe was always remembered and led to many anti-android organizations and parties sprouting.

Androids remained obedient after the Android Murder Incident of 1586 BBM and laws in in the next 1000 years slightly varied between slightly more rights to androids and slightly less rights. Eventually, a political party called the Android Exclusion Party gained popularity between 600 to 400 BBM and by the 412 BBM they were consistently entering government due to their high seat count. They slowly but surely, decreased the rights of androids, leading to a major opposition rising against that decision. Pro-android organization and parties began radically opposing the Android Exclusion Party and promised to restore pre-1583 BBM android rights. Pro-android parties soon became rebellious, leading to them being seen as troublemakers and even leading to a couple incidents that involved terrorism to get their point across. The Android Exclusion Party continued growing and soon led to them holding the chancellorship between 244 to 220 BBM. Anti-android movements continued to spread across the nation and had already spread across other nations in the galaxy.

Chancellor, Tabrous Andal, criminalized androids in the Shraian Federal Galactic Kingdom in 40 BBM. Tabrous Andal was the last Android Exclusion Party Chancellor that the nation ever had but his agreement with criminalizing androids and pushing for it in the Senate led to one of the largest political discussions in the history of the nation. Android deactivation began in 38 BBM, right before Chancellor, Tabrous Andal, left office. It continued throughout the next few months and ended only a few weeks as Chancellor, Katuri, took office in 38 BBM. Chancellor, Katuri, was against the criminalization of androids but did not see the point in trying to legalize androids once again.

Androids continued to be illegal until early 27 BBM when the government held a highly anticipated vote that led to the agreement to legalize androids for the use of the battlefield.
