  Disciplinary Actions
 
  When an officer disobeys orders or disregards Starfleet's code of conduct, 
  whether on principle or for personal satisfaction, he faces disciplinary 
  action. Violating a General Order frequently results in court martial 
  proceedings, which may lead to the officer's removal from Starfleet or 
  perhaps time at a Starfleet penal facility. Lesser offenses typically result
  in a formal reprimand in an officer's file, a reduction of rank, or time
  spent in the brig. Each instance is reviewed by the commanding officer and
  their decision is binding.

  Starfleet Command and the Office of the Judge Advocate General, in nearly 
  all cases, defer to the decisions of a commanding officer. Far from the 
  nearest starbase or outpost, captains have wide latitude in deciding 
  disciplinary cases. Command realizes that the commanding officers are 
  ultimately responsible for the actions of their crew and are the best 
  judges of when disciplinary action should be administered.
