Assault occurs when one person places another in fear or apprehension of an immediate, offensive bodily contact.
Any violation concerning a physical attack (or indeed the peril of an attack) is regularly listed as an assault. Assault is seldom described as any voluntary action that makes another character to fear that she is thereby to undergo physical wickedness.
The illegal laws of many republics group assaults as unless simple or aggravated, according to the force of the wickedness that transpires. Depending on the enormity of the assault (or the dangerousness of the weaponry employed), these actions can grow to the level of aggravated assault.
