Your Job is what NanoTrasen has assigned you to do aboard the NSS Aurora. It defines what equipment you start with, your ID card access, and what you're actually supposed to be doing.

Some useful links:

• Chain of Command
• Corporate Regulations
• Guides
• Tips
• Communication Devices
• Basic Character Qualifications
• Identifying Antagonists

You should also read up about Corporate Regulations, so you know your rights, and Clone Memory Disorder if you happen to die and be cloned. Not doing so is considered very bad form for Roleplay.

Due to new NanoTrasen equal rights laws, you might encounter some interesting new Species working alongside you.

Heads of Staff

Job	Role	Difficulty
Captain	Put your command whitelist to use and try out Captain. Stare in regret as everything quickly falls apart all around you. Offer to work as a partial interim head of staff for departments without a head. End up being busy with ERP more important matters instead. Put a DNC in your records and watch silly nurses clone you anyway. Get your spare ID stolen by an engineer within minutes. Wonder why there's suddenly torches and pitchforks in front of your door.	Very Hard
Head of Personnel	Make your presence known and state that you are available to change access on peoples' IDs. Deny 80% of the requests because they're clearly not trained to do what they want access to and they never bothered writing employment records to back themselves up anyway. Run around the station keeping track of everything for the Captain. End up butting heads with other heads of staff over their leadership ability. Call people into your office for employee evaluations.	Hard
Head of Security	Get your officers situated and ready to protect company assets. Watch them all attempt to become anything more than a mall cop. Give up and do the same. Over-exaggerate petty crimes. Declare suspects committing battery in self defense HUT. Tell criminals that crime doesn't pay. Attempt to clear space bats out of the armory. Die. Pet your dog.	Very Hard
Chief Engineer	Wonder why you spawn with black gloves instead of insulation. Promote safety and wearing PPEs. Contradict yourself by not wearing any of that ever. Wear your fancy white hardsuit around instead! Leap everywhere around with it until the battery runs out, the time you need it most. Wonder why the engine tech decided using N2 was ever a good idea. Watch the atmos tech's face melt fighting a losing battle against a phoron fire without protection. Watch an apprentice get stuck trying to build window panes. Forget your robot pet exists.	Hard
Research Director	Sit around Dream about sitting in your office all day. Get stuck doing RnD because no one else wants to. Act surprised when someone who knows what they're doing attempts telescience. Don't be surprised in the slightest when the Xenobiologist gets digested by slimes. Watch Paramedics try and fail to rescue them. Observe the Xenobotanist get blasted in the face with K'ois. Watch Paramedics try and fail, again, to rescue them. Listen as your Xenoarcheologist falls down a hole. Contemplate firing all xenostudy staff without a second thought as a result just because. Wonder why there's a big hole in the server room instead of toxins.	Hard
File:ChiefMedicalOfficer.png Chief Medical Officer	Try to give a quick briefing to your subordinates round-start. Get ignored as they all explode out of the briefing room as quickly as possible. Make sure Chemists aren't getting high. Walk in on the EMT attempting Surgery on the Psychologist. End up being the only competent medical professional amid pubbies that thought Nurse was a learning role. Screech when someone doesn't check records for DNCs.
