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.

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.

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.
 
==== 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 vessel's assigned Captain has full and final authority over the operation of the vessel. 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.

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.
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 vessel. 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 ship 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.
 


=== Low Level Infractions ===
These infractions carry standard punishments of up to 7 minutes, and can be set with an officer's discretion. 'Suggested Sentence' values are beside the incidents. 'Additional Penalties' can be decided by authorisation of Captain, Head of Security, or equivalent, and do not require tribunals.

=== High Severity Infractions ===
===High Severity Infractions (Red Violations; i300's)===
These Infractions generally need to be ruled on by a tribunal as in [[Legal Standard Operating Procedure]], and criminals should be held until judgement can be passed. Command can pass their majority decision via the radio-channel after being briefed on the crime and evidence. The NSS Aurora is in Tau Ceti space, which does not consider cyborgification capital punishment, making it an optional punishment.

=== Commentaries and Clarifications. ===
==== Parole ====
'''Cyborgification''' The removal of a person's brain for transplanting into a Cyborg Chassis. Often also known as Shackling.
 
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 ship 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.
 
==== Marooning ====
 
An individual being marooned will have their employment considered terminated, their person stripped of all workplace equipment and left on the nearest celestial body or current port of call with their personal belongings. Humans, Tajara, Skrell and IPC are to be given a basic softsuit, oxygen (or a suit cooler unit) and a GPS. Vaurca and Diona are to be given k'ois or a source of light instead. A majority vote is required to pass a marooning unless a Captain is present, at which point the Captain may call for a marooning without Command support. An after-action report must be faxed to Central after a marooning has occurred.

Regulatory Information
Corporate Regulations Guide to Standard Procedure Chain of Command

Corporate Regulations

Corporate Regulations are penned regulations that all SCC employees have agreed to abide by in the signing of their employment contract. These regulations apply across the board on any SCC 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 SCC employees follow these regulations.

  • Regulations protecting prisoners from mistreatment applies to even non-crew.
  • Executions are not allowed by regulations. Ship security nor command should be doing any executions. The maximum possible penalty for major infractions is marooning or 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 ship 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 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 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 vessel's assigned Captain has full and final authority over the operation of the vessel. 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 vessel. 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 ship 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 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.


No. Incident Description Notes Traditional Sentence Repeat Offense Fine
i101 Trespassing To be in an area which a person does not have access to. Remember that people can either break in, sneak in, or be let in. Always check that the suspect wasn't let in to do a job by someone with access, or were given access on their ID. 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. 3 minutes. Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion. 200-300 credits
i102 Petty Theft To take items from areas one does not have access to, or to take items belonging to others or the vessel as a whole. Includes theft of credits up to 500cr. For higher amounts see i220 - Fraud Keeping items which are in short supply where they belong is what is important here. A doctor who takes all the surgical tools and hides them still commits theft, even though he had access. Items can include anything in limited supply. Remember to take the items away from them and return them to where they stole them. 3 minutes, returning of stolen item to the owner or department. Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion. 150-225 credits
i103 Minor Assault To use, or threaten, physical force against someone, without intent to kill or seriously injure. To cause easily repairable damage to a free IPC chassis, up to and including the removal of limbs. If it causes minor damage and easily treatable damage, it's minor assault. Starting fights with other employees or punching fellow employees counts too, as well as seriously threatening them with it. Force-feeding someone is this unless it's poisonous or knocks them unconscious. 4 minutes. Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion. 400-800 credits
i104 Battery To have unwanted physical contact with someone, even where the contact is not violent. Bumping into someone in a corridor doesn't really count.

Drunks can be keep to sober up, but only if they are badly harassing other crew members. Regular drunks don't get arrested and if they are only a nuisance you keep them for the regular time. The mutual degradation of chasing a naked man down while he screams rape is only worth it on slow rounds. Skrell are required to be clothed just like anyone else. Tajaran can have rolled down jumpsuits unless ordered by their Head of Staff to keep it up. 5 minutes. Up to 8 minutes and/or demotion. 250-375 credits
i107 Misuse of Public Radio Channels To continually broadcast unimportant, untrue, or insignificant messages on the public radio frequency. This is really only for people who are constantly spamming the radio, such as 'DJs' or Chaplains reading their services over the comms. Screaming fake messages like "halp security is beating me" when they aren't also counts. Speaking excessively non basic on comms also falls under this, unless it is your departmental comms (at the head's discretion and on non emergencies) and on green and yellow alert codes. 3 minutes. Ban from using any radio equipment, which requires a filed injunction. 150-225 credits
i108 Violation of Injunction To violate the terms of an injunction made by Security or other legal professions. Injunctions can be filed for lots of different things, such as a ban on weapons carrying, or the above radio ban. They can be applied by the Head of Security, Captain, or equivalent.

Since this has to be proven, it's up to the appropriate officer to determine. You should also see if the insults were real, rather than friendly banter between two friends. 3 minutes. 5 minutes. 50 credits per applicable minute
i111 Failure to Execute an Order To ignore or disregard a superior's valid orders. If the order is stupid, or causes you to break a law (e.g. "Release the singularity!" or "Steal that RCD for me!") you can ignore it, and probably make a complaint. However, if it's perfectly doable, lawful, and in your job description, you better do it or resign. If not following an order caused severe damage or loss of life, see "Failure to Execute an Order with Serious Consequences". 5 minutes. Up to 15 minutes and/or Demotion. 500-750 credits
i112 Sexual Harassment To make unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks towards another employee. This is for VERY MINOR things the other person finds offensive that are sexually related. 5 minutes. Up to 15 minutes and/or Demotion. N/A
i113 Animal Cruelty To inflict unnecessary suffering or harm upon animals with malicious intent. Shoving animals into washing machines, or throwing them down disposals while still alive falls under this. However animals used appropriately for scientific experiments don't count.

Domesticated pets are never to be used in scientific or culinary endeavors. 5 minutes Up to 10 minutes and/or Demotion. N/A
i114 Vandalism To deliberately damage or deface the vessel without malicious intent. To cause easily repairable damage to an owned IPC, up to and including disabling the chassis.

i115 Threat of Murder or Serious Injury To threaten to kill or seriously injure an employee. The threat has to somewhat tangible. If it's just people arguing over the radio, it's probably not worth it. Someone shouting at someone else while chasing them with a fire extinguisher is more valid. 3 minutes and mandatory Tracking implant. Up to 10 minutes with psychiatric evaluation. 500-750 credits. Tracking implant.
i116 Disrespect to the Dead To abuse bodies of dead employees. Examples include, the chef using bodies in the morgue as meat, Security beating on a prisoners corpse, or using someone's body for 'experimental surgery'. Preventing a body from being cyborged also falls under this. The Chaplain or medbay tending to corpses in preparation for autopsy or funeral does not fall under this unless they're doing something bizarre and unnecessary. 5 minutes 10 minutes per corpse. 400-600 credits
i117 Excessive use of force in detainment To use more than the required force to subdue a suspect.

Janitors found reading records flushed down disposals would be charged with this as well. Command can discuss medical records with other command (or IAA and Detectives on request) if they have a good reason, and similar with employee and security records. Using a ship announcement asking someone come pick up their hemorrhoid cream is also a no. The punishment goes to the source of the leak. Authorization for respective records goes to their respective heads of staff. (CMO, HoP, HoS, and the final say of Captain. 3 minutes. 10 minutes. Demotion and/or Suspension. 500-750 credits.
i119 Illegal search To perform a search of an employee or workplace without a search warrant, clearance, or probable cause. An extension of the Privacy Laws, crew members are entitled to the privacy against searches on green alert. Security is required to obtain a search warrant from either the Head of Security, Captain, or lacking either, a Warden. Searches of workplaces falls under this. Security can circumvent a search warrant requirement if they: have clearance from the respective head of staff, have directly witnessed a crime taking place, or feel there is a real and imminent danger to the safety of crew and/or vessel. This also does not apply to searches conducted after another, legitimate arrest. 3 minutes. A written apology. Return of non-contraband goods and reduced brig time for victim. 10 minutes. Demotion and/or Suspension. 500-750 credits.
i120 Littering Littering. Littering items around the ship and refusing to clean it up. 3 minutes. 7 minutes. 40-150 credits.

High Severity Infractions (Red Violations; i300's)

Regarding cyborgification

  • The SCCV Horizon is registered as a Biesel ship, and therefore Biesel laws apply aboard. Biesel law does not consider cyborgification capital punishment, making it an optional punishment.
  • If Nralakk Federation citizens have a Do Not Borgify order in their records, their punishment becomes holding until transfer instead of cyborgification.
  • If a captain is not present to authorize cyborgification, the command staff must pass a majority vote to authorize it.
No. Crime Description Notes Sentence Repeat Offense
i301 Murder To kill someone, or attempt to kill someone, with premeditated malicious intent. Also cover Attempted Murder. The premeditated and malicious bit is important here. Marooning, cyborgification or Holding Until Transfer.

i303 Mutiny To openly rebel against or attempt to remove command staff with violent intent. See "Sedition" for less violent mutineers. This generally means they use harm-intent or try to kill their superiors or advocate the same. Marooning or cyborgification.
i304 Kidnapping and Hostage taking To take away or transport a victim against the victim's will. If the person is held for ransom or exchange, then it is considered hostage taking, which is automatically a holding until transfer. Hold until transfer.

Modifiers & Special Situations

Situation Description Benefit
Surrender Coming to the brig, confessing what you've done and taking the punishment. Getting arrested without putting a fuss is not surrender. For this, you have to actually come to the brig yourself. Up to -25%, and should be taken into account when determining the severity of crimes.
Cooperation with prosecution or security Being helpful to the members of security. Up to -25%.
Immediate threat to the prisoner The singularity eats something near the brig, an explosion goes off, etc. Officer must relocate the prisoner(s) to a safe location. Otherwise, immediate release. Life sentences must be reapplied after danger has passed.
Medical reasons Prisoners are entitled to medical attention if sick or injured. Medical personnel can be called, or the prisoner can be escorted to the Medbay. The timer continues to run during this time.
Self Defence Assault and even homicide can be justified if it was necessary for prevention of loss of life. (Note that there are borders of acceptable self-defence, and killing a man who just punched you is subject to "Use of Excessive Force") Up to and including immediate release.

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 ship 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.

Marooning

An individual being marooned will have their employment considered terminated, their person stripped of all workplace equipment and left on the nearest celestial body or current port of call with their personal belongings. Humans, Tajara, Skrell and IPC are to be given a basic softsuit, oxygen (or a suit cooler unit) and a GPS. Vaurca and Diona are to be given k'ois or a source of light instead. A majority vote is required to pass a marooning unless a Captain is present, at which point the Captain may call for a marooning without Command support. An after-action report must be faxed to Central after a marooning has occurred.
