Corporate Regulations

Corporate Regulations are penned regulations that all Nanotrasen employees have agreed to abide by in the signing of their employment contract. These regulations apply across the board on any Nanotrasen owned property, be it station, ship, or outpost.

Onboard each facility there will be a dedicated Security department in charge of making sure that all Nanotrasen employees follow these regulations.

Interpretation of the Regulations
Every person on the station should have a good knowledge of Corporate Regulations. Following them could mean the difference between having a peaceful day or paying 1000 credits for multiple infractions. More in-depth interpretations of Corporate Regulations are required for such positions as the Warden, Head of Personnel, Captain, and the Head of Security.

For all incidents, the suspect's intent is very important. Some incidents are mutually exclusive.

A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took 3 items off someone, this is a single count of pickpocketing.

Aiding and abetting a criminal makes you an accomplice; you can be charged with the same crime as the person you aided and abetted.

Additional
The Captain is not above Corporate Regulations, and can be arrested by Security for breaking it if the Heads of Staff agree in a majority decision. The only time that the Corporate Regulations can be overridden is when there is an imminent and overwhelming threat to the station.

Pardons are only legitimate if they come from Central Command. Despite his high ranking the Captain cannot spit in the face of Corporate Regulations and any attempts to do so are infractions.

Do NOT demand a tribunal for anything. You'll just be laughed at.

The time a suspect spends in processing is counted to their total brig time. Try to keep track of how much time has passed since someone has been officially processed. This generally begins with questioning.

High Severity Infractions
The NSS Aurora is in Tau Ceti space, which does not consider cyborgification capital punishment, making it an optional punishment.

Demotion and dismissal also require the removal of equipment from the previous job. E.g: Uniforms, weapons, bombs, PDA cartridges, etc.

For the purposes of Cyborg/AI laws, crewmembers that have been convicted, or are being held in detention, are considered to be below even the AI/Cyborgs in terms of rank.

In cases where the final sentence is more than 90 minutes, it is changed to HuT

The standard penalty can be applied without a tribunal by Security Officers.
