Championing a Claim

Championing a Claim is the process of acting to enforce a subordinate's Claim over a colony or faction.

Codex
"An individual presses a claim when they take some action to help a claimant (potentially themselves) gain their rightful authority. Pressing a claim is a justification for aggressive action that would otherwise be considered a crime. If an individual is helping another to press a claim, they are championing that claim.

A claimant is always justified in trying to press their own claim, even if they fail multiple times. However the actions of a third party would be seen as suspicious and not justified if they repeatedly tried to champion someone else's claim unsuccessfully. You can only trigger an aggressive action on the basis of championing another's claim after a period of time has elapsed from the last time you championed it."
