Note: The SCC WILL NOT bail out any employees arrested on Konyang for violating ANY of the laws below. Being arrested for breaching any of the laws listed below will be treated as a character removal.
Like most planets in the Coalition, Konyang has the authority to create and enforce its own set of laws. Unlike most other planets, though, the crew of the Horizon is intended to be present on the planet. The following page is a guide to Konyang law, much like the Corporate Regulations page.
Remember, Konyang Law Enforcement is not related to the SCC and has little regard for your employment or status. The following laws are separate from the SCC SoP or Regulations, and will be enforced regardless of the situation.
Prior Knowledge
Konyang has a much different culture and history than that of Tau Ceti or the SCC. As such, public opinion on topics such as IPCs are vastly different. Below are some of the basics:
- Konyang doesn't recognize IPC ownership, as IPCs are considered living people. By extension of this, IPCs are treated equally under Konyang law and have all of the same rights as people.
- Konyang authorities will allow IPCs from the Horizon on a temporary SCC pass. IPCs that run away would force the SCC to revoke the pass, and they would be undocumented immigrants. If caught they will be deported to other Coalition member states (Xanu) where ownership is legal, and the SCC will get them back from there.
- The Konyanger Jeweler Cockatoo is the national animal of Konyang and hunting it is severely prohibited.
- Police can arrest crew for breaking the law or disturbing the peace regardless of job or status.
Keep the above points in mind while exploring Konyang, and try to respect the locals.
