We'll have two main types for planets (for simplicity's sake in RP). Strict and Lenient. Details below.
In the interest of keeping things fair for both those who have less powerful characters and yet also allowing people's characters to participate in illegal stuff if they want in public areas, here's the rule:
If your character is in a public setting on a planet and they're doing something illegal, please roll a dice for every post that involves said illegal activity!
Specifics on rolls will be listed for the government types.
If you're not in a public setting it's up to you and your RP partners if you do or don't want to bring in law enforcement.
Important Note: Balance checks for anything illegal your character has is even more important, because they can quickly get overpowered. There's a reason these things are illegal IClly! Always include clearly written limitations and disadvantages for any illegal aspects of your character.
Strict Government
Laws are strictly enforced especially in public settings.
Dice rolls: Roll 1d20 every post where your character is doing something illegal. If you roll a 1, assume in your next post a drone just detected your character's illegal activity.
You'll have to escape after that! How? Roll 1d5. If you get a 1, you and your stuff is taken. 2, you escape but stuff is taken. 3 and up you get away scott free.
Lenient Government
All the same laws more or less apply but the lack of drone and law enforcement around will make them less enforced.
Dice rolls: Roll 1d40 every post where your character is doing something illegal. If you roll a 1, assume in your next post a drone just detected your character's illegal activity.
You'll have to escape after that! How? Roll 1d5. If you get a 1, you and your stuff is taken. 2, you escape but stuff is taken. 3 and up you get away scott free.
Laws for most planets with any kind of population:
Drones (followed shortly by law enforcement) will be able to detect standard cloaking devices, any weaponry, etc. Cloaking devices and any type of weapons that seem military grade or for more than personal defense would be immediately confiscated upon detection.
Public violence is not permitted.
All sapient creatures must wear their galaxy-issued badge*.
Feeding indigenous wildlife/residents homeworld food and/or bringing any homeworld properties without first decontaminating them, etc. is not permitted.
Routine vehicle registration/check ups, all verified equipment for your chosen role(s) has to be brought in and given routine maintenance, as much for safety protocol as to ensure the appliances/tools haven't been tampered/enhanced illegally. (this applies for surface world applicants, obviously, but for someone who rides the middle they'd still be required to).
Note: The bigger the population on the planet, the more likely there will be law enforcement around. If your character is in a public setting on any planet, though, chances are law enforcement will be around.

Open to feedback on this (as with anything in this continuity!)! Let me know how well it works for your RP
