==History==

Mictlan's unique cultural aversion to corporatism poses a unique risk to the proliferation of a synthetic workforce, first apparent in Idris' establishment in Lago de Abundancia in 2412. The lack of infrastructure to support the logistics needs of synthetic personnel, as well as the innate danger of theft and disassembly by disenfranchised locals interested in recycling their parts, forced Idris to maintain a bare minimum roster of synthetic workers well into the 2440s. As their presence and revenue grew this reflected in the rapid inclusion of more synthetics, vastly outstripping the supply and ability to maintain such a workforce. Synthetics owned by Idris would often find themselves going for longer without regular maintenance, forced to work long hours on excessively low charge due to power rationing, and restricted to corporate grounds as curfews were enacted to prevent damages.

This trend continued on a delicate balance, entirely driven by the inertia of years of perpetual corporate development, until the Peacekeeper Mandate was enacted in 2463. Vast amounts of damage caused in and around Lago de Abundancia from fighting between Peacekeeper forces and Samaritan cells caused a near-collapse of the infrastructure supporting Idris operations, sending the synthetic workforce into total disarray. Dozens of synthetics were lost in the panic, many permanently damaged beyond the strained capacities of Idris logistics and others having vanished in the noise of urban combat, either stolen by Samaritans to be reduced to parts for the effort or displaced by Legion and PMCG efforts to separate civilians from hot zones.

Amidst the noise a former Idris-employed machinist, Raquel Dias do Vale, noticed the severe discrepancy in how synthetics were treated by IAC and Legion humanitarian efforts and took to forming an ad hoc repair center on the outermost Legion cordon surrounding Lago de Abundancia. Assisted by a displaced synthetic by the name of Coyotl, Dias do Vale assisted in not only repairing dozens of displaced and former Samaritan captive synthetics, but also integrating them into the local native community. What slowly grew into Mictlan's only autonomous synthetic group eventually attracted the Biesel branch of the Trinary Perfection in 2464, leading to clergy inviting the two to visit their church in District 14. A month passed in their absence, and the interim team picked to continue operations in the fledgling community grew uncertain of whether or not the two had abandoned their responsibilities to better pastures. Tensions in the community came to a near boiling point when the pair suddenly returned and with a slew of Trinarists in tow, bringing a menagerie of much needed supplies and equipment necessary to keep the settlement alive. Dias do Vale and Coyotl had been convinced of the Trinary's purpose, and with more conviction than ever before the pair sought out to bring every displaced and abandoned synthetic on Mictlan under their wings.

==Society==

Neither supported by the Mictlani government nor persecuted under the banner of the Republic of Biesel, ‘El Menaje’ (‘The Household’, a colloquial term for the Trinarist community surrounding Lago de Abundancia) has always been left to its own devices. Material support from the Mendell District 14 branch is its primary among the few sources of income that can be depended upon in times of need, with offers from corporate-backed sources always rejected on principle. Scavenging, recycling and a reliance on donations and volunteer work are the pillars upon which any growth can be found in this synthetic community, trends that are influenced and reinforced by the Mictlani cultural consciousness. As a result, most structures follow a particular style that most foreigners would describe as distasteful and run-down; tires, concrete slabs, sandbags and mismatched bricks are prominent materials used in the construction of communal buildings, with Trinarist motifs often modified to reflect Mictlani artistic stylings and history. This practice is most evident in the appearance of Iglesia de la Chispa Sagrada, the center of Trinarist worship on Mictlan, whose previous life as a Catholic church is evident in the remaining stained glass fixtures that cover the primary face of the chapel. Within its walls Dias do Vale and Coyotl orchestrate the everyday operations that entail maintaining a rapidly growing community of destitute synthetics, some borne of the disaster of the Mandate and others seeking refuge from other CRZ worlds in conflict. Organic community members, most of whom are natives of Lago de Abundancia and other Mictlani cities, often find membership through volunteering in a number of public works projects organized by Dias do Vale, Coyotl and the clergy that staff the church.

Though the Mictlani government and by extension the Republic tend to ignore the community’s activities, they do not go without scrutiny from either or their corporate counterparts. Radical open door policies encouraged by Coyotl clash routinely with the operations of Legion detachments from the nearby Fort Ilhuicatl, with the peacekeepers claiming that El Menaje knowingly harbor synthetic fugitives associated with the Samaritans. Similar claims made by Idris Incorporated state that the church knowingly accepts runaway synthetics owned by the megacorporation, and utilizes the planet’s population of data thieves to dupe tag information. Though the Samaritans mysteriously avoid locales surrounding Lago de Abundancia where El Menaje maintains a presence, and a startling number of members often bear teal-colored paint schemes, church leaders vocally deny such allegations and decry it as anti-synthetic rhetoric.

==Cultural Practices==

Reflective of Mictlani sensibilities, the Trinarist community of Lago de Abundancia maintain open door policies that both draw influence from its Integrationist forefathers of the Mendell District 14 church and concern from that of the Ecclesiarchy on Orepit. Organics enjoy a level of involvement and acceptance that even eclipses that of its Biesellite benefactor, offsetting the despondent origins of the synthetic population through a wealth of varied skills from various parts of the planet. Such levels of integration also inform the cultural practice of the church, with potlucks, participation in Mictlani holiday parades, and cross-community efforts routinely organized by its leaders. The traditional reds and golds of Trinarist clergy attire are often seen accentuated with teals and purples, with typical Trinarist symbolism and patterning given a Mictlani twist. Public sermons are held exclusively in Tradeband and Tau Ceti Basic, with synthetics who may not have been programmed to speak one or the other often afforded language datapacks of often dubious origins in order to fully participate. As such EAL is often saved for conversations between synthetics and otherwise discouraged among organics, much like their compatriots on Konyang.

Perhaps the most striking contrast to its sister branches is the Mictlani church’s participation in Dia de Los Muertos, a traditional Mictlani holiday celebrating the deceased. During this day the ossuaries of Iglesia de la Chispa Sagrada are opened by clergy to those community members with loved ones within, both synthetic and organic, to bring forth their remains from storage. Elaborate shrines are organized for each within the church, with confections and food often prepared in advance to be enjoyed among the dead. During the day’s sermon individuals may be called to the pulpit to speak on behalf of their beloved deceased, often to a toast of horchata or atole at the end. Festivities occur well into the evening and conclude with a small parade led by clergy and community members into the ossuary, with both returning the remains in ritualistic fashion.

In an effort to better integrate with Mictlani society at large, synthetic members of the community often take several fashion cues from their organic counterparts. Traditional Mictlani attire suitable for the hot and humid weather, elaborate laser engravings to mimic tattoos and locally-sourced accent datapacks are but a few things that many of the acclimated have accepted as part of their new identity with the church. Teal and cyan accents are among the most noticeable and common details of those who have found themselves separated, legally or not, from Idris service. Many of these synthetics choose to redesign their previous paint schemes with Mictlani cues in a show of defiance, or perhaps parody, of their former masters.

==Notable Members==

=== Raquel Dias do Vale ===
A Mictlani native born and raised in Lago de Abundancia, Dias do Vale found herself in the ideal position to take up the role of a premier machinist within Idris’ ranks, eschewing the typical lifestyle of her countrymen and graduating from an Idris robotics institute in Mendell City in 2453. A relatively comfortable lifestyle by Mictlani standards had been afforded to her as a critical component to keeping the extensive synthetic workforce working, something which kept the senior machinist complacent until the fallout of the Mandate in 2463. With her career in shambles following the total disruption of the status quo and the irreparable loss of numerous synthetics, Dias do Vale returned to what she knew - the local community. It was within the ramshackle walls of the neighborhoods surrounding Lago de Abundancia that Dias do Vale laid the first bricks of El Menaje, eventually culminating in her meeting with Coyotl and their agreement with the Trinary Perfection later that year.

=== Coyotl ===
Despite rumors of their origins as a Reclamation Unit, Coyotl’s true identity remains unknown. Found piecemeal by local farmers and dropped off at Dias do Vale’s makeshift garage, Coyotl steadily returned to ‘life’ and became Raquel’s closest ally and friend. What remained of an imposing Shell chassis was soon reinvigorated with homebrew parts and Mictlani flair, assembling what the community would know to be Coyotl today. Their responsibilities often lend to securing safe travel of despondent synthetics abroad and vetting aspiring organic members of the community, with many claiming their inherent ability to keep order and investigate matters of infiltration by Idris inspired by native IRU programming.

}}
The [[Captain]] is in charge of the station and everyone on it. They make sure the crew is working and productive and any [[Job_Guides#Antagonists|potential threats]] are seen to. They are expected to be able to command their [[Job_Guides#Station_Command|Heads of Staff]] effectively, and have ultimate authority on the station, second only to CentComm. As such, your almightly stamp can pave way to great projects or great disasters. Stamp the wrong thing too many times, and you may be targeted by CentComm for investigation.

== Being a Captain ==
The Captain is the top of the power chain. They command the [[Job_Guides#Station_Command|Heads of Staff]] and have the final say in station decisions. The hold an all access ID, a large amount of unique equipment, and a luxurious cabin. The only one with potentially more power is the AI. This is a very important role and should only be played by experienced players.

'''Per admin policy, any Captain character is only allowed to join the round as a Captain, a Head of Staff role as defined by that character's experience and backstory, or as a visitor. Make sure you know the [[Guide to Station Procedure#Visitors| Visitor Policy]] if you plan to join as a visitor.

=== Commanding Command ===
The Captains main job is to lead and direct the station. The Captain therefore has direct authority over the Heads of Staff, changing the alert level, going to red alert, contacting CentComm, calling the evacuation shuttle, and coordinating station-wide emergency evacuation and defence.

In the absence or lack of a head for a specific department, effort should be made by you, or the [[Head of Personnel]] to appoint one to each department. You should always have a fully functioning command staff. If no valid staff for promotion are found (to your own discretion), you may be called or chose to handle the affairs of those departments as a stand-in Head of Staff. But, know your limits. Focus on the functioning, not doing actual work.

It is the Captain's job to make sure that all the Heads of Staff are communicating and leading their departments properly, or making sure the [[Head of Personnel]] is doing it for him. They should not involve themselves directly in departmental matters unless asked by the Head of Staff responsible, however the Captain may step in if they feel that the matter is being handled poorly.

For example, the Captain should not have to tell the [[Chief Engineer]] to start the engine, a competent chief should be able to do this themselves. If they can't, it falls to the Captain to make the decision as to whether to demote the current head, promote someone to a head, or consult with that department as to the best course of action. The Captains job isn't to do others' work for them, but make sure that everything is being done correctly.

=== Station Finances And You ===

Finally, you are the only one along with the [[Head of Personnel]] that has access to the Account Uplink Terminal. It lists the personal account of every crew member and the department accounts.

Each crew member’s individual account belongs to that crew member, and your access to these accounts is for oversight. There are sometimes accusations of fraud, embezzlement, or theft and your ability to go over transaction histories of every crew member gives you the power to hunt down nefarious accounting. You should never take money out of a crew member’s personal account without permission or proof that they got that money nefariously.

As Captain your authority is sovereign, absolute, and unquestionable, but during standard operations you should leave the station accounts to the [[Head of Personnel]]. Even so, you do not need a warrant to access the details of any account and you can check them at any time, but every personal account is protected under [[Corporate Regulations | Privacy Laws]] unless you find direct evidence of a crime. That means on green alert [[Job_Guides#Internal_Security|Security]] needs a warrant to get a copy of a crew member’s bank statement.

The Department accounts are the primary focus for you and the other heads of staff. It is part of your and the Head of Personnel’s job to make those numbers in the department accounts go up, up, and up!

The Cargo and Vendor accounts automatically make money, but for service some ways to do that could be asking the [[Chef]] to sell his food rather than giving it out for free, and finding other methods of moneymaking.

=== Controlling the Crew ===
As Captain, you are in charge. There really is no way to tell you exactly how to run things, many people have different leadership styles. However, as Captain, there are some things you should be aware of:

#'''Only involve yourself when there is nobody else available to do the job.''' If you get involved in every security matter when there's already a Head of Security, it is suggested you get a job change. If there isn't a head for a specific department, get your Head of Personnel to assign a new one. The only exception to this rule is when your Head of Personnel is "absent" as you are the only other Head who can assign people.
#'''Delegate whenever you can.''' If someone says 'Captain, there's a phoron leak!' then you order your Chief Engineer to go fix it. Do NOT attempt to fix it yourself. You will put yourself unnecessarily at risk.
#'''Follow the Chain of Command.''' You command the Heads. The Heads command their departments. Try not to skip them in the decision making process. They are the ones who ''should'' know their own departments best.
#'''Keep calm and carry on.''' As Captain, every shift should be a normal and productive working day. However, be prepared to deal with any or all of the following: Incompetent or absent Heads, [[Job_Guides#Antagonists|subversive elements]], angry crew members banging down the bridge door trying to get in, corrupted AI's on a war path, killer meteor strikes, plagues, faulty electrical gear and the occasional aftermath of an armageddon against the ship, thanks to a range of the above. And it's your job to manage it all. Good luck.

=== Alerts and SOP ===
Main Article: [[Corporate Regulations]]

You have control of the station's alert level. The following is a summary of what they are and when they should be used:

* '''Code Green - All Clear.'''
Default operating level. No immediate or clear threat to the station. All departments may carry out work as normal.

This is how the round starts, and you should do everything in your power to keep it that way. It can be changed to this from the Communications Console on the bridge.

* '''Code Blue - Suspected Threat.'''
Raised alert level. Suspected threat to the station. Issued by Central Command, the Captain, or a Head of Staff vote. Security personnel are authorized to wear armor vests, helmets and display weaponry at all times. Random searches of crew are permitted within reason. Locational searches are also permitted with probable cause, however Command Staff may shut down a locational search of an area under their authority. This includes but is not limited to: their own department, the bridge, vault or any other shared command-restricted location. In both cases, it is the right of the department head, or the individual receiving the search to know the reason of said search.

If you feel that there is a threat to the station either from the environment (large atmospheric breaches, meteors, etc.) or people (organised attacks against crew, theft of high value property, unknown invaders, etc). Code Blue can be raised from the Communications Console on the bridge.

* '''Code Red - Confirmed Threat.'''
Maximum alert level. Confirmed threat to the station and/or severe damage. Issued by Central Command, the Captain, or a Head of Staff vote. Martial law. Suit sensors are mandatory and everyone is required to stay in their workplace unless needed elsewhere. Security may detain suspects without a warrant. Tau Ceti Basic is required on public channels.

Code Red should only be called when there is a confirmed and active threat to the station that places crew at a severe disadvantage to resolving said threat, and/or inhibits normal station operations (confirmed also meaning to the best of your knowledge). This can only be raised by swiping two Head of Staff ID cards at the same time in the Keycard Authentication Devices in each Head of Staff's office. In emergencies, your spare ID can be used as well. You may also request an [[Emergency Response Team]] or emergency evacuation from these devices, however these options should be considered a last resort. Heads of Staff are to instruct personnel to do everything in their power to reduce the impact of the incident that incited the Code Red in order to drop to a lesser status.

'''Warning: a round end vote cannot be called during Code Red. Leaving it up when it's not required may annoy people.'''

* '''Code Yellow - Biological Hazard'''
The station is now under an elevated alert status due to a confirmed biological hazard. All crew are to follow command instruction in order to ensure a safe return to standard operations.

Code Yellow should be used for biological hazards such as carp, spiders, bears, drones, blobs or any other biological hazard on the station. It will give Command and any relevant departments the required flexibility (for example allowing officers to carry weaponry during a spider outbreak) to deal with any biological hazard threats, without sacrificing privacy rights or giving the Security Department the means to arrest/search crew without a warrant.

=== Equipment ===
There are many items in your cabin, but not all of them should be used all the time. Captains are not supposed to involve themselves directly in most station matters (like security issues), and you should not expect things to go wrong, so wearing your special armor and carrying a lethal energy on [[Captain#Alerts_and_SOP|green alert]] is not expected or encouraged. You are allowed to carry a weapon for self-defense, though it should not be lethal. The 'chain of command' item is a novelty, and should really not leave your office. The telescopic baton relies on brute damage to topple the target, and does not stun in any way, so use it sparingly.

Your armour and helmet function as a space suit, but this does not mean you should be wearing it all the time. The antique laser gun in the glass case is an antique and should be treated as such, it shouldn't leave its case, and is highly valuable.

=== Paperwork ===

You are the chief paperwork stamper on the station and as said earlier, your stamp is a very powerful tool. It can be used as a substitute for every other, ''lesser'' stamp on the station, the same way your orders stamp everyone else's. Use it responsibly, because written authorization is a powerful tool.

=== Authority ===
The Captain has the final say on almost every matter on the station. If the Captain tells someone to do something they better do it, or have an exceptionally good reason to not do so. Captains should follow [[Corporate Regulations]] and [[Security]] has the power to arrest the Captain for serious violations if they do not (after Heads of Staff unanimously agree). The only time Corporate Regulations may be overridden is if there is an imminent and overwhelming threat to the station.

Situations where the captain's orders are overridden are rare, but may include orders that would cause unnecessary and large amounts of damage to people or property, or are simply outrageously stupid. For example, ordering the [[Chief Engineer]] to vent the bar of atmosphere as people are getting slightly tipsy. This is not the norm however, and generally people should follow whatever the captain says.

==== Code Delta And Self-Destruct ====

The highest echelons of NanoTrasen are fully aware that a number of its research stations are dabbling into extra-dimensional or even anomalous materials and artifacts which pose significant risks to humanity, the galaxy, and the corporation's bottom line. As such, all deep space research stations (like the Aurora and Exodus) have installed in them a 50 kiloton nuclear bomb to act as a self-destruct. The existence of the nuke is, for obvious reasons, highly classified. The Captain is the only one aside from the stationbound AI who knows about the nuke and the Delta Protocol. The Head of Security is aware that there is a mysterious authentication disk on station that needs to be protected at all costs, but not of its purpose.

In an instance where the station is beyond hope, the Captain can send an emergency message to Central Command detailing the situation and requesting the nuclear code. '''With a fax or emergency transmission you must end your message with the code [CPE-1704-TKS] to verify it is legitimate.'''

Only Captains know this code, which is used to ensure only Captains that '''spawned''' as a Captain can request the code. Making a bogus request is fine, but if you are not a Captain (or an antag with a good reason) and use this code then you will be bwoinked.

If the message is deemed valid by Central Command (the admins) a confirmation message is sent to the Captain. If the Captain confirms the code is transmitted directly to the Captain, who then simply has to make it to the nuke with the code and the disk to begin the sequence.

Requesting the code should only be done if the station has expended all of its resources in containing a threat and failed. Because the Captain is the only one with this power, it is in their interest to ensure they can live long enough to carry it out.

=== Dangers ===
NanoTrasen vessels are often under threat from various [[Job_Guides#Antagonists|criminal organisations]] and natural space disasters. As Captain, is it your job to manage these threats and make sure that they do not interfere with normal activity aboard the station.

Most of the time, your on-board [[Job_Guides#Medical|Security]], [[Job_Guides#Medical|Medical]], and [[Job_Guides#Engineering_and_Maintenance|Engineering]] forces should be sufficient to deal with the threat. Therefore, you are not expected to have to deal with such matters by yourself, save for when you have not been supplied with them, or you feel they are incompetent.

As far as running into danger goes, there is a thin line between stupidity and heroism. The rule of thumb is that you should only face suicidal odds when there is no other valid option. Your life's importance is second only to the station's existence.

== Links to Other Departments ==
As a captain, you have direct authority only over the other heads of staff. This means that, if your captain is the snooty type, they can get away with never having to talk to the miners, the cook, or the toxins researcher. On the other hand, there's nothing wrong with playing a captain who'll happily shoot the breeze with the janitor. That's up to you and your character.

When it comes to other departments, your primary job is to coordinate everyone's actions. Your captain's headset lets you talk to all heads of staff and hear any department's radio channel. If a department has a head of staff, your primary interactions will be with them, because they (should) know how to run their department. Without a head of staff, you may have to step in. With or without a Head to work with, make sure each department has the information and supplies it needs to work well.

==Roleplaying Tips==
* In terms of roleplaying, you have a lot of freedom. You should really have some basic knowledge of how each department runs, and who the heads of them are, but outside that you could really have as much (or as little) knowledge as you want. You can play with a background in a certain field, but you should NOT be able to do everything (i.e. Being able to set-up the Engine single-handedly AND knowing how to make bombs is probably going too far). Just remember though, a very incompetent Captain doesn't make too many friends.
* Leave Security matters to security, you don't (and shouldn't) need to step in on every criminal situation. You are above the Head of Security in terms of command, but you should defer security matters to him. Only step in if you think that a decision could endanger the station or crew.
* Don't think that just because you're the Captain, that you can do anything you want. That's the absolute '''worst''' thing to do. You're there to make sure everyone else is doing their job, not to do it for them.
* Your armour is heavy protective armour that is space capable. It is not for walking around in all the time, and would be anywhere from extremely uncomfortable to debilitating exhausting depending on your captain's physical strength and stamina to do so. There is an armoured vest in your locker if you absolutely feel the need to wear armour when the full set isn't appropriate, but keep in mind you're on a research station, and you shouldn't be expecting to really need the armour under the majority of situations.

Corporate Regulations

2021-06-24T15:14:41Z

Sycmos: /* Low Level Infractions (Yellow Violations; i100's) */

{{Reference}}
{{TrailingMechanics}}
{{IC_Laws}}

= 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.

*'''Regulations protecting prisoners from mistreatment applies to even non-crew.'''

*'''Executions are illegal and not allowed by regulations.''' Station security nor command should be doing any executions. The maximum possible penalty for major infractions is cyborgification.

*'''The brig timer of a prisoner begins after processing.''' All prisoner processing is expected to be completed in a timely manner. Should a detainee's processing take an unreasonably long time, the personnel responsible for that processing may be liable for illegal detention.

=== 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. Extensive knowledge of Corporate Regulations is 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.'''

The charges “Battery”, “Attempted murder” and “Murder” do not apply to crimes committed against [[IPC|IPCs]], whether they are free intelligences or owned by a person or company. Consult employment/security records to determine whether an IPC is owned or not. Positronic intelligences are not protected by capital punishment laws. Those charged with red level infractions may be at risk of being dismantled or destroyed.

The charges “Battery”, “Attempted murder” and “Murder” do not apply to crimes committed against [[Dionae]], instead the respective charges are as follows: "Animal cruelty", "Assault" and "Fytocide". [[Dionae Forms|Dionae Nymphs]] acting as pests will not be protected by these regulations.

=== Additional ===

==== Captains and Authority ====

Captains are not above Corporate Regulations and can be arrested by Security for breaking them. However, this should only happen if active Heads of Staff agree in a unanimous decision to approve the arrest, or the arrest is ordered by Central Command. '''Captains should not be removed from their position in this way for anything but violations that would normally require holding until transfer.''' Lesser violations can and should be reported to Central Command, but are not generally severe enough to warrant this drastic action. If a Captain is arrested in this manner, an Acting Captain should be appointed immediately, and Central Command should be informed.

The station's assigned Captain has full and final authority over the operation of the station. They are authorized to issue direct orders to entire departments or specific crew members. They may take any actions or issue orders that violate regulations during non-standard situations. Generally, these orders must be carried out. Even if you feel an order from the Captain to be against regulation, your moral code, or generally detestable, you still have to follow it. You are entitled to begin a vote within Command (if you're part of Command) to have the Captain arrested if the order breaks a serious regulation, or fax Central Command (if you have access to a fax machine) to have them weigh in, but disobeying the order (if given to you) or obstructing it (if not given to you directly) is Failure to Execute an Order. This is upgraded to Sedition if you start encouraging others to refuse the Captain's orders.

If a crew member breaks regulations while following a direct order from the Captain, when there are other legal ways to carry it out, that crew member is generally considered at fault for the violation.

Pardons are only legitimate if they come from Central Command. Not even the Captain can deliver pardons, but they can grant parole with or without a tracking implant.

==== Injunctions ====

The Captain, Head of Security, and Internal Affairs Agents may issue injunctions to the crew if deemed necessary.

An injunction is a restriction on a crew member, meant to prohibit disruptive behavior that may not otherwise explicitly break regulations. Violating the terms of these injunctions '''is''' breaking regulations however, covered by '''i108 Violation of Injunction''' below. Examples of valid uses of injunctions include things like preventing two belligerent crew members from interacting with one another, or stopping someone from abusing alcohol at the bar. They are not meant to circumvent the chain of command, however, and efforts to resolve problems within that structure should be made first.

The Head of Security and Internal Affairs Agents may issue injunctions to any non-Command member of the crew. The Captain's orders may override these injunctions.

Only the Captain, Central Command itself, or every other member of Command acting as the Captain in a unanimous decision, may issue injunctions to a member of Command Staff.

==== Misc ====

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

A '''Warrant''' must be provided for almost any search or arrest conducted under code green. Exceptions to this rule exist if an officer is a direct witness to a crime, or may reasonably conclude that failure to act will pose an immediate danger to the crew and/or station. Search warrants may also be circumvented if the Head of Staff over the employee being searched has given their direct consent.

'''Suspensions''' are used to temporarily suspend an employee from active duty, restricting them from holding any station rank. They are typically used in situations where an employee can no longer be trusted to continue their work.

'''Demotions''' are used to temporarily demote an employee to a rank below their previous occupation, allowing them to continue active duty under a position of less authority. They are typically reserved for situations in which the employee is still trusted to continue work, but may require additional training or oversight.

'''Drugs''' such as alcohol, tobacco, Ambrosia Deus, Ambrosia Vulgaris, etcetera are not covered by the '''Contraband''' regulation as these are legal under Tau Ceti law. A full list of legalized recreational drugs can be found [[Guide to Law|here]].

=== Low Level Infractions (Yellow Violations; i100's) ===
==== Regarding warnings ====

Officers are allowed to give out official warnings for first-time low level infractions. Any repeat offenders are to be sentenced.

Officers are not obligated to first issue out an official warning, but are encouraged to do so if the situation allows it.

Trespassing and theft often committed together; both sentences should be applied. Severity is increased if they refuse to leave the area peacefully, more so if they attempt to use important equipment there, so feel free to add other charges if they do.

|-
| i111
| '''Failure to Execute an Order'''
| To ignore or disregard a superior's valid orders.

==== Parole ====

Parole is temporarily releasing a prisoner before their sentence has been fully completed on the promise of good behavior. Parole can be given for any number of reasons, including brig overcrowding, a reward for good behavior or confession, or if the prisoner's skills are in need by the station such as a doctor or engineer.

The Warden or Head of Security can choose to give prisoners parole. A tracking implant is recommended if the prisoner is a flight risk (IE an engineer going EVA, but it is up to the Warden/HoS to determine how much of a risk they are.) Tracking implants for minor crimes are not worth it.

On the completion of their time they are simply marked as released as normal.

If they commit any crimes their parole is ended and they must serve out the remainder of their time in the brig with the new crime's time added on.

Parole can be given immediately after initial processing; theoretically a prisoner can spend their entire sentence out of the brig.

=== Terminology and Clarifications ===
'''Cyborgification''' The removal of a person's brain for transplanting into a Cyborg Chassis. Often also known as Shackling.

'''Suspension''': Changing ID title to "suspended", zero access.

'''Demotion''': Can be done up to and including Assistant position, by Head of Personnel or Captain's decision.

'''Employee''': Employee of NanoTrasen, as defined by the station's commanding officer. All non-employee subjects are still protected by these laws.

'''Empowering''': Illegal acquiring (not via Head of Personnel or Captain) of access.

'''Head of Staff''': Crew members occupying one of the following positions: Captain, Chief Engineer, Head of Personnel, Head of Security, Chief Medical Officer, Research Director.

'''HuT''' Holding until Transfer

'''Lethal Situation''': A situation in which there is an apparent and real threat the the well-being of all those involved.

'''Repeat Offenders''': For repeat offenders, use the "repeat offense" punishment.

'''Severe Injury''': A state in which the victim is in a critical condition and is having difficulty maintaining consciousness.

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.
