- "By statute, we're not only permitted but required to aide [sic] a vessel in distress. "
- ―Ziinda, to Roscu
A statute governed the Defense Force. It required that all Defense Force warships aid vessels in distress. It did not apply to the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet, except when Defense Fleet was assigned to protective duty of a planet, as it would be under Defense Force protocols.[1]
