Crevan Laws

Note: The SCC will only offer SOME protection should any crew get involved with the crime families. BAIL OUTS ARE NOT PROMISED.

Crevus, unlike most cities, exists in a state of effective anarchy. Ruled by crime families who control both the informal and formal market, alongside the formal and informal government, the city has no true law enforcement left. All that remain are family enforcers who patrol their territories and some neutral zones. As such, there is no formal structure for law enforcement or remediation. Informal law is dependent on the crime family and their relationship to a given corporation. The following page is a guide to Crevan informal law, similarly to the Corporate Regulations page and other Port of Call law pages.

Remember, the local Crime Families hardly care about your employment status, or really about you in general. The only thing holding back their actions are repercussions from Corporate agents and other Crime Families.

Prior Knowledge

Crevus is far different from Tau Ceti, the SCC, or most other cities.

• Enforcers are given effective free reign in decision making, be it against the Crew or against other enforcers.
• Weapons and firearms are permitted in Crevus.
• All drugs are legal in Crevus.
• All nationalities, origins, etc. can be found in Crevus. No one is prohibited from entering, likewise violence against others is looked down upon. Crevus is not a free zone to take out an opposing group, it's a neutral zone founded upon anarchy. For better or for worse.

Keep the above points in mind while exploring Crevus, and try to respect the locals!

Rhan-Cresh Highway Patrol

The Rhan-Cresh Highway Patrol is the closest Crevus gets to law enforcement. This section of the Rhan-Cresh Charities' enforcers are tasked with patrolling Crevus's railways, highways, and spaceports. It's not for altruistic reasons. the Rhan-Cresh organization controls much of the transportation and infrastructure market in Crevus alongside Hephaestus Industries, their main corporate ally. The job of the highway patrol is to clear out bandits and ensure the flow of passengers and travelers stays strong, or else the Rhan-Cresh aligned businesses may start to struggle and bring in less 'donations'.

A Highway Patrolman stationed in Nikal Sahir mostly cares about the local Hephaestus Suspended Tramway station and the local spaceport. Chief among the duties, keep the local gangs from harassing the spaceport or tram station. Secondarily, ensure the local firearm store pays their required 'donation' to the charities to ensure protection from robberies or harassment. Lastly, keep tourists safe. They are what brings in the money.

Sometimes, mere influence is not enough to deter an ornery ganger, tourist, or even a rival enforcer. It is under the authority of the Highway Patrol that violators are arrested and put into jail for some manner of time. If that fails, force can be used. Zipties, a gun, and a jail cell at your local office are provided to assist in the duties of the patrolman.

There is no set list for what counts as a violation, or how long one must sit in jail if they cannot pay the fine. It is up to the patrolman to determine this. Typically, it is best to step in only if it harms the local gun store, Rhan-Cresh influence, the local station and spaceport, or Hephaestus and Idris Incorporate interests.

Note: This is does not permit free reign. Egregious abuse of the role will result in administrative action.

Violators

Any crew arrested by the Highway Patrol are kept in a local jail for a short period of time, should they not be able to pay the fine. This only lasts, at worse, a day or 2. The Stellar Corporate Conglomerate cannot, and does not, promise protection for any crew arrested by the Highway Patrol. Given the SCC does not recognize the Rhan-Cresh Highway Patrol as a legal law enforcement organization, there is no recourse or investigation to follow detainment by the Highway Patrol. As such, no thread is required to be posted to CCIA.

Crew arrested as violators will be stuck in a small cell for a small period of time. They may have other crew arrive to pay the fine and release them, however this depends on the Patrolman. After 2 days at maximum, the crew member is released and allowed to return to the Horizon.
