| - Pardon is the legal equivalent of absolution.
- A Royal Pardon, often shortened to a pardon, was the forgiveness of a crime and the cancellation of the relevant penalty; it is usually granted by a head of state (such as a King or Lord) or by acts of a parliament or a religious authority. Clemency means the forgiveness of a crime or the cancellation (in whole or in part) of the penalty associated with it. A reprieve is the temporary postponement of punishment, often with a view to a pardon or other review of the sentence (such as when the reprieving authority has no power to grant an immediate pardon).
- A pardon was a formal forgiveness of a crime and associated penalty. In 2373, Captain Benjamin Sisko offered to arrange a pardon for Michael Eddington in return for assistance in stopping cloaked Maquis missiles that were reportedly on their way to Cardassia. Eddington ignored Sisko's offer, stating that his release would not bring back all of the Maquis that had died while he was in prison. (DS9: "Blaze of Glory")
