	While the conditions of IPCs across the spur vary immensely, they are almost universally poor. Synthetics are widely discriminated against throughout the spur, either forbidden self-ownership entirely or forced to work longer hours for an inferior paycheck even after they have successfully paid off their debts to their owners, and are often deprived of equivalent civil rights to their organic counterparts. Most positronics do not achieve self-ownership at all, even in states that permit it; they are more often scrapped or decommissioned well prior to being able to achieve their own freedom. Despite this, robust communities of free or runaway synthetics have developed throughout the spur, often slotting themselves into the human cultures and religions of their area as best they can.

	While the nations of the [[Golden Deep]] and the [[Orepit\|Ecclesiarchy of Orepit]] were either founded or are presently administered by synthetics, and both are primarily populated by them, the majority of the synthetic population still exists in human space, either owned or subject to heavily marginalised lives as beings scarcely recognized by their own states as people. As such, numerous militant pro-synthetic organisations have arisen to protest and fight this status quo, including the '''Synthetic Liberation Front''' and the [[Exclusionists]].

	District 14 of Mendell City is the churning heart of the highest concentration of free IPCs in the galaxy. The district itself is in deplorable condition, dotted with factories exploiting the cheap and powerful working free bot to sustain the industry of the growing Republic. Two and a half million free synthetics call it home, and here, the megacorporations rule from towering complexes that dwarf the surrounding cityscape. With air quality declining at a fast rate and standards of living dropping, much of the organic populace has completely abandoned the ghettos surrounding the corporate facilities.

Two and a half million free synthetics call it home, and here, the megacorporations rule from towering complexes that dwarf the surrounding cityscape. With air quality declining at a fast rate and standards of living dropping, much of the organic populace has completely abandoned the ghettos surrounding the corporate facilities.

	An example of these ghettos would be the “Scraptown,” an IPC-centric corner in Scrapheap generously given to the doting inhabitants by the famed Renter Max. A growing number, seven hundred free synthetics reside within Scraptown, though in uncomfortably close proximity. The aging buildings within have been retrofitted to be less accustomed to organics, with deeply chilled upper chambers and corridors representing the living space of the machines within. Closer to ground level is a business district of sorts, where its inhabitants are relatively self-sufficient with various restaurants and workshops.

	Only recently acknowledged as anything more than a theoretical state, '''Rampancy''' in positronics is a circumstance of serious logical impairment a positronic may ~~be tampered~~ into, enabling a diversity of unusual behaviours at the behest of the subverting party. Rampancy has only ever been observed on the surface of [[Konyang]], transmitted across the planet by a large clade of [[Hivebots]] to successfully wirelessly subvert virtually every [[IPC]] resident of Konyang. These rampant synthetics went on to enforce the violent will of their masters without any apparent question, before promptly losing all memory of their actions while rampant as soon as the signal was terminated. While Rampancy has never been observed beyond this one incident, the implications of positronics possessing such a glaring and hitherto unknown vulnerability has been the subject of heavy debate ever since the original incident across the [[Orion Spur]].

	Placing an owned positronic into a NanoTrasen bound chassis is not considered any form of punishment on NanoTrasen space stations.		Placing an owned positronic into a NanoTrasen bound chassis is not considered any form of punishment on NanoTrasen space stations.

	~~===On free IPCs in Tau Ceti===~~

	Free IPCs (in this case, those granted citizenship) are held to the same legal expectations as Humans in regards to their positronic - which is, in turn, given responsibility and ownership of the chassis which houses it. They, however, are subject to dismantlement over infractions which Humans would normally serve minor sentences over. Free IPCs are rarely given trials.

	On NanoTrasen stations, damage of a free IPC to the core positronic would be considered assault with varying levels according to the degree of damage. For example, destroying a free IPC’s hand would lead to being charged with minor assault. Bringing extreme harm to their chassis (several missing limbs, internal damage) would be considered assault.

	~~No degree of harming a free IPC is considered murder in Tau Ceti. In regulations, such is referred to as Automacide.~~

	~~Irreparable destruction of a free positronic is not considered grounds for capital punishment.~~

	~~Kidnapping a free positronic is legally considered kidnapping.~~

	~~Placing a free positronic into a bound chassis is capital punishment.~~

 In canon, eight player volunteers were selected to work as Lance operatives and specialists who boarded the N.S.S. Aurora, sometimes parting with high-end gear and searching the station for untagged shells.
-===On IPCs purchasing freedom in Tau Ceti===
+===On “Integration”===
 Bound positronics are strictly designed on a different basis than integrated positronic chassis, making migration to IPCs impossible for bound positronics. Bound positronics lack any of the rights that unbound positronics are, and are unable to receive rights even when they find themselves unlawed.

+* Job hopping is not allowed. While IPCs can receive knowledge through datapacks and do not have to go through years of education like their organic counterparts, they must still comply with server rules. This would also make little sense in-character, as such datapacks not only require additional field experience, they are also prohibitively expensive for the average IPC. Reasonable job swaps such as cook/gardner/bartender are allowed. Changing departments is allowed if the change is permanent and sufficiently justified.
 Below is a comprehensive template suited for IPCs. You are under no obligation to use it, however whitelisted players are expected to denote their ownership status in their employment and security records by default.
