The [[Ch'mok]] is a traditional trial of redress on the frontier planet of [[Axtis III]], whereby any issue that exists between two people on that planet can be decided. It issimilar to a trial by combat. When someone has an issue with another, he can go to the Council and invoke the Ch'mok. This consists of three challenges. The first one is a wilderness test. Each person enters the forest, and using only primitive weapons, must hunt a [[Dagger Beast|dagger beast]]. Whoever finds one first, wins the challenge. The second task is to cut out the animal's liver and cook it into a paste. The paste is to be eaten. Whoever lasts the longest without puking out their guts, is the winner. The final challenge is an unarmed fight in the arena. The only rule, is no killing. Last man standing is the winner. Whoever wins two of three, claims the Ch'mok. | The [[Ch'mok]] is a traditional trial of redress on the frontier planet of [[Axtis III]], whereby any issue that exists between two people on that planet can be decided.
