New Republic Intelligence agent Mirith Sinn being tortured by Imperial Guard Carnor Jax's men Despotic governments and heads of states often coerced prisoners into revealing sensitive information through the use of intimidation and torture, and the known examples varied from a galactic level (the reigns of the Galactic Empire Īnd Darth Krayt's Galactic Empire ) to the sectorial (the New Sith Empire and the Corporate Sector Authority ) to the system- or planet-wide, which included everything from royal houses (like Queen Sarna's monarchy on Drogheda and the Doan Royal House of Doan ) to elites (like the Krath in the Empress Teta system, the Tundei of Abregado-rae and the Absolutes on New Apsolon ) to single dictators like Dictator-Forever Craw of Targonn. Torture was widely considered as a gruesome and unethical practice by most cultures in the galaxy. " There is never an excuse for cruelty towards a captive." ― Kaye Galfridian, princess of the peace-loving planet Artorias
Occasionally, torture was the adverse byproduct of medical or scientific research, studies, or procedures, and usually occurred without the consent of the victim. Torture also served as a way of intimidating or coercing individuals, or for discriminatory reasons of any kind.
Other motives were simple revenge or the sadistic gratification of the torturer. Torture was used for such purposes as obtaining from the subject or a third party information or a confession, or as punishment for an act an individual had or was suspected of having committed.
Throughout the galaxy, any practice by which severe pain and/or suffering was inflicted on a being, whether physical or mental, was considered torture.
