==The Republic of Elyra==
The Republic of Elyra, or more officially the Serene Republic of Elyra, is among the more populous and powerful colonial factions. This is one of the few locations in the Orion Spur that Phoron can be found, and as such it is the cornerstone of the growing Republic’s economy. It is seen as a sibling of sorts to the residents of Tau Ceti and thus the newly-formed Republic of Biesel due to its similar upbringing, having been the product of very early colonization efforts.


== Overview ==
Corporate Regulations are penned regulations that all Nanotrasen employees have agreed to abide by in the signing of their employment contract. These regulations apply across the board on any Nanotrasen owned property, be it station, ship, or outpost.
Elyra is often seen as a highly utopian player in the Orion Spur, being logistically and technologically ahead of most other Human factions. This is partly due to its well-planned, heavily funded government effort from the richest nations of the time when its first colonists were sent out. Moreso this is owed to the discovery of Phoron in Elyran space, which has seen the Republic’s industry rise to Olympian heights, holding some of the greatest minds in the known galaxy.


Among the nations which were originally responsible for the colonization of Elyra’s capital - the system of New Ankara - were those of the transcontinental Middle Eastern regions of Earth, and Northern Africa. Much of modern Elyran culture can draw its roots to these corresponding regions. Elyra is largely isolated from interstellar travel, having very harsh customs and monumental requirements for those seeking citizenship. Despite this, the citizens within are far from locked inside, the Republic itself heavily funding foreign exchange programs. As well, Elyrans are often known to wilfully explore the unknown frontier beyond charted space.  
Onboard each facility there will be a dedicated Security department in charge of making sure that all Nanotrasen employees follow these regulations.


The Serene Republic above all is known for its separation from NanoTrasen. It alone is dependent on its thriving Phoron economy, something it secured in the early days of the material’s discovery. Now, it is among the very few galactic entities to be able to rival NanoTrasen’s monopoly. Thinly veiled however is a heavy hand by non-NT megacorps in Elyran internal politics, something that nonetheless gives it a unique profile.
*'''Regulations protecting prisoners from mistreatment applies to even non-crew.'''


No longer merely an industrial power, recent years have led to massive shifts in the Elyran political mindset, bringing militarization and defense funding to the highest degree possible. This is largely defense against major galactic threats, such as the Izweski Hegemony or the Lii’dra hive, both of which engaged the Serene Republic with the latter mounting a full-scale invasion on the planet Bursa. While their relations with the Hegemony are simply sour now, the Vaurca of the galaxy are often seen as a foremost threat to many Elyrans.
*'''Executions are illegal and not allowed by regulations.''' Station security nor command should be doing any executions. The maximum possible penalty for major infractions is cyborgification.


== Population and Planets ==
*'''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.
The total population of Elyra is 17,353,349,200 based on the 2458 Census. This population is spread out over the nation's planets.
===[[Perispolis]]===
The capital planet [[Perispolis]], in the '''New Ankara''' star system, has roughly 15 billion residents. The planet was originally an arid planet with a modest atmosphere and stubborn native ecosystems already present. Original Alliance-funded terraforming efforts transformed the planet into an Earthlike planet within a decade, allowing the population to flourish before and after independence. Commercial and service sector jobs remain the highest employer, second to refineries processing phoron or other minerals transported to the planet's orbit. This is among the primary locations in Elyra where phoron can be found in abundance.  


Perispolis is known for its incredible luster, the soil giving the vast treelines a unique shade of amethyst that may be confused for a vast sea from space. Contrasting this are vast arid swaths of sand deserts, usually filled with crystalized phoron which, despite efforts, poisons the soil and prevents any plant life from growing. However, these phoron crystals jutting out of the ground provide Perispolis with a rich export.
=== Interpretation of the Regulations ===


The planet holds host to the New Ankaran Jewel, an orbital shipyard and drydock connected by space elevator. From here the majority of the Republic’s finest space-faring vessels are made, civilian or otherwise. It is located in the planet’s capital city Uthma among sandy dunes, and extends to low orbit of the planet.
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. Extensive knowledge of Corporate Regulations is required for such positions as the Warden, Head of Personnel, Captain, and the Head of Security.


===[[Medina]]===
For all incidents, the '''suspect's intent''' is very important. Some incidents are mutually exclusive.
The second most inhabited planet with 1.3 billion people, [[Medina]] resides in the '''Jedeed Isfahan''' system. The planet has a thin yet breathable atmosphere which makes prolonged physical effort difficult without respiratory gear. However the planet is incredibly rich with mineral wealth due to its active geological history. Settlements on the planet are built to compensate for the high frequency of earthquakes.


===Bursa===
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.
In the '''Cairo United''' star system Bursa carries 700 million people. The planet sits farther out from the star than usual and thus has a predominately frigid climate year-round. Paradoxically hydroponic farm companies remain the highest employer on the planet, second to the shipyards that circle the planet. Several Elyran Defense Force bases also dot the surface, taking advantage of the harsh winters for wilderness survival training.


Bursa was the site of the Lii’dra hiveship’s planetary landing, and its population is still shaken by the nearly 40,000 dead after the ensuing conflict.  
Aiding and abetting a criminal makes you an accomplice; '''you can be charged with the same crime as the person you aided and abetted.'''


===[[Aemaq]]===
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.
A hot, chemical-water covered world in outer Republic space. Self sufficient, the settlements on the world are made up of flotillas dotting the waters of the planet. The water itself is unpotable but rich in exotic volatile organic compounds. These compounds alongside various art crafts are the planets biggest exports. The water industry is a large part of the economy on this planet.


===Edirne===
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.
Colonized after independence and sitting in the '''Serene Riyadh system''', the dwarf planet of Edirne carries only 50 million people. With the lack of an atmosphere the vast majority of the population lives in the various biodomes that dot the surface or in the orbiting space stations. Most of the inhabitants work as space miners taking advantage of the systems high concentration of phoron wealth.


====Other Worlds====
=== Additional ===
'''Ankara Station''' - The Republic's primary space dock orbiting Perispolis. Dependant on importants from Perispolis, the station has a large service and banking economy. It is extremely heavily armored boasting multiple battle defence cluster stations equiped with state of the art plasma artillery and kinetic weaponry.


'''Qamar Station''' - A large station situated on the largest moon of Perispolis. It is self sufficent industrial station with primary Republic exports being computer components and machinery.


'''Nazar Flotilla''' - Large defense flotilla situated in the New Ankara. The flotilla's sole purpose is to detect and engage any Lii'dra hive ships that might enter the region. Due to its size and constant operation it has developed a large supplementary civilian population. Almost self sufficent, the flotilla still relies on imports from the Republic. It contains a large number of [[Offworlder Humans]].
==== Captains and Authority ====


'''Tokat''' - A young mineral rich colony located on the outer regions of the Republic. Self sufficent with a mixed economy, it's primary exports are minerals for the Republic.
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.


'''Errai Station''' - A former mining colony turned into a large rotating space habitat, the station is largely self sufficent with it's main import being water and it's key exports being services and banking.  
The station's assigned Captain has full and final authority over the operation of the station. 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.


'''Karistal Outpost''' - Located on a planet in the Republics frontier bordering Sol Alliance space, the outpost exists as a location of strategic importance. Reliant on Republic imports the outpost itself has a thriving artisan crystal cutting and shaping industry due to the rich crystal deposits in the outposts region. Many wealthy Elyrans spend large amounts of money to purchase crystal trinkets and even furniture from the outpost.
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.


<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:99%; overflow:auto;">
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.


==Government==
==== Injunctions ====
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
'''Type:''' Parliamentary Democracy


'''Executive:''' Prime Minister
The Captain, Head of Security, and Internal Affairs Agents may issue injunctions to the crew if deemed necessary.
*'''Current Prime Minister:'''
Rasheed Tatenda
* '''Minister of the Army'''
Tau Kwadwo
* '''Minister of the Navy'''
Daniyah Latifah
* '''Minister of Diplomatic Affairs'''
Andile Nabil


'''Legislature:'''  
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.
* '''Upper House:''' High Parliament
** 550 Representatives; Two for every territory; unicameral legislature


'''Judicial:''' High Court of Tranqulity
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.
* 8 Seats; Serve for life
</div></div>


== [[Elyra_Military|Military]] ==
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.


The Serene Republic of Elyra being a sovereign entity in the frontier has made the creation of a martial force a necessary development. Being exposed to foreign and at times volatile entities has led to the formation of the Elyran Armed Forces, also referred to as the EAF. They would emphasize on speed and precision when conducting their operations, employing equipment providing the capability to strike fast or to retaliate swiftly to a plethora of threats to the Republics safety. The recent aggression by [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/4117-elyra-news-network/?do=findComment&comment=51967 '''the Hegemony'''] and [https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/4117-elyra-news-network/?do=findComment&comment=65413 '''the Lii'dra'''] has prompted extra funding to the defense program to improve their naval capabilities.


The degree at which this defense program has progressed is not known to the public, but the mass mobilization of Elyran military assets is apparent. A large portion of Elyra’s developing industry has, in the last few years, been geared toward the comprehensive overhaul and total modernization of their armed forces with no exception. The balance of power in Frontier space has since shifted in the EAF’s favor - to the alarm of many smaller states that surround the growing Republic.
==== Misc ====


===2nd Busra Army Corp aka “The Shield Corp”===
Do '''NOT''' demand a tribunal for anything. You'll just be laughed at.


An elite unit of the Elyran military that specialises in combating Vaurca combatant's, specifically the Lii'dra. Veterans of the various Elyran-Lii'dra conflicts, the men and women of the Shield Corp are renowned for their steadfastness and anti-Vaurca combat skills. Generally extremely wary of all Vaurca, their hatred of the Lii'dra hive burns extremely hot. Quite a few former members have found themselves working with NT for various reasons, usually as engineers, medical staff and security.
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 station. Search warrants may also be circumvented if the Head of Staff over the employee being searched has given their direct consent.  


== Economics ==
'''Suspensions''' are used to temporarily suspend an employee from active duty, restricting them from holding any station rank. They are typically used in situations where an employee can no longer be trusted to continue their work.


'''Official Currency:''' Colonial Dollar
'''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.


'''Accepts Union of Sol Credit:''' Yes
'''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]].


The Serene Republic of Elyra is a modern service economy with strong resource extraction sectors, namely the phoron sector, which is one of the largest employers in the Republic. New Ankara in specific is home to several major financial corporations, either branches of Idris Incorporated or domestic banking services. The heavy industry sector of the Republic has been seeing large increases, with demands for domestic manufacturing of weapons, vehicles, and ships after the recent conflicts with the insidious Liidra. With the high education standards pushed by several governing coalitions in recent decades, engineering and mathematical fields have seen higher-than-average growth, with the Republic producing highly trained engineers and doctors who are desirable across human space for their skill and proficiency. This economic growth, seen as a testament to their hardy spirit, is not seen as a pure positive by all in the Republic - Elyran society has seen increasing levels of economic stratification and growing income disparity alongside the better standards of living on the major planets, and some parties call for social policies to combat what they see as an unwelcome change.
=== Low Level Infractions (Yellow Violations; i100's) ===
==== Regarding warnings ====


== Technology ==
Officers are allowed to give out official warnings for first-time low level infractions. Any repeat offenders are to be sentenced.


The endearing technology of Elyra and the geniuses behind it are seen as the foundation of its modern society. Without it, Elyra would surely crumble. Examples of this technology include but are not limited to:
Officers are not obligated to first issue out an official warning, but are encouraged to do so if the situation allows it.


'''Prolific hover tech:''' Clever usage of magnetized phoron-based materials and chemicals have led to the perfection and proliferation of hover technology. This is to such a degree that hover transportation is the norm among Elyrans, and has progressed to create a total disregard for even the most basic of street elements in modern environments. Instead of parking lots are landing pads, and most indicators as to traffic control and the like are left to heads-up-displays found within hovercars via helmets, screen projectors, or otherwise. Travel to and from any point within any Elyran territory as a result is usually fast, reliable and easy as hover-vehicles are fully capable of flying well above and beyond any obstacles or landscapes. The average commercial flying car would be able to sustain flight at nearly one hundred fifty meters over ground.


'''High-end VR and simulation technology:''' Among the best of Human-designed VR can be found within Elyra, seen commonly in public-access Idris VR terminals or in higher-end private-use modules. More on the pedantics of VR can be found on the culture page.

| 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 credits
|-
| i102
| '''Petty Theft'''
| To take items from areas one does not have access to, or to take items belonging to others or the station 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 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 credits
|-
| i104
| '''Battery'''
| To have unwanted physical contact with someone, even where the contact is not violent.

| '''Indecent Exposure or Hooliganism'''
| To be intentionally and publicly unclothed, yelling at people for no reason in public or on comms, throwing around stuff where it could hit someone, yelling about how terrible NanoTrasen is, etc.
| Running around the station naked or in underwear, or other such degrading activities. 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 credits
|-
| i106
| '''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 credits
|-
| i107
| '''Violation of Injunction'''
| To violate the terms of an injunction made by Security or other legal professions.

| 250 credits
|-
| i109
| '''Slander or Verbal Abuse'''
| To spread false rumors in order to damage someone's reputation, or to use racially offensive language.
| Lying about anything to make someone else look bad, or making use of obscene or offensive slurs against someone else. For example, a drunk assistant starts shouting racial slurs at xeno crew. 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
|-
| i110
| '''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.

| N/A
|-
| i112
| '''Animal Cruelty'''
| To inflict unnecessary suffering or harm upon animals with malicious intent.
| Monkeys appropriately used for experiments or well-being (e.g Genetics, Virology, etc.) don't count, neither do the animals ordered from cargo. Shoving them in washing machines, or throwing them down disposals while still alive falls under this. Using them as food is a grey area, as long as they are not overtly caused pain in the process.
| 5 minutes
| Up to 10 minutes and/or Demotion.
| N/A
|-
| i113
| '''Vandalism'''
| To deliberately damage or deface the station without malicious intent. To cause easily repairable damage to an owned IPC, up to and including disabling the chassis.

| 3 minutes
| Up to 10 minutes in total and/or Demotion.
| 450 credits
|-
| i114
| '''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.

| 500 credits. Tracking implant.
|-
| i115
| '''Disrespect to the Dead'''
| To abuse bodies of dead or previously 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'.

| 5 minutes
| 10 minutes per corpse.
| 400 credits
|-
| i116
| '''Excessive use of force in detainment'''
| To use more than the required force to subdue a suspect.

| 10 minutes and demotion.
| 350 credits.
|-
| i117
| '''Violation of privacy laws'''
| To intentionally leak private aspects of employee records or financial account information to unauthorized personnel.
| 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 station 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.
| Fine.
| Demotion and/or Suspension.
| 500 credits.
|-
| i118
| '''Illegal search'''
| To preform 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 station. This also does not apply to searches conducted after another, legitimate arrest.
| A written apology. Return of non-contraband goods and reduced brig time for victim.
| Demotion and/or Suspension.
| 500 credits.

'''Plasma technology:''' Utilized exclusively in the military field, high-end plasma technology is the most apparent indicator of Elyran presence in any given combat situation. They are the only faction to utilize superheated plasma in this sense, able to penetrate and combust foes from the inside out with horrifying results. The ethics behind using such weapons are questionable, however their effectiveness is without doubt. This was mostly pioneered after the Lii’dra invasion of Bursa.

| i201
| '''Failure to Execute an Order with Serious Consequences'''
| To ignore or disregard a superior's valid orders, which then causes serious damage to property or life.
| Like the minor crime, except this one has caused serious damage to the station, or seriously injured someone. Examples are Medical Doctors ignoring the Chief Medical Officer while patients are piling up in medbay, or Engineers ignoring the Chief Engineer and then having the singularity eat part of the station. If this causes loss of life, refer to 302.

|-
| i202
| '''Resisting Arrest and/or Sparking a Manhunt'''
| To not cooperate with an officer who attempts a proper arrest, or to cause a manhunt by hiding from security.

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">


Elyran culture is a mix and match of North African and Middle Eastern culture inherited from its original colonists coupled with a perpetual struggle against the galaxy at large. Foreign media, though a hit, is heavily overshadowed by internal Republic culture at large. Contrary to its anti-xeno beliefs, public society is rather progressive - much of any Human can be seen in Elyra with little discrimination and naught a single eye will be batted to the more exotic or unfamiliar cultures.
*'''The NSS Aurora is in Tau Ceti space, which does not consider cyborgification capital punishment, making it an optional punishment.''' If Izweski or Jargon Federation citizens have a Do Not Borgify order in their records, '''their punishment becomes holding until transfer.'''

To glory and greatness we march
==== Parole ====


For Elyra, we have sworn to live and work
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 station such as a doctor or engineer.


For Elyra, we sweat and toil
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.


For our Elyra, we await the call
On the completion of their time they are simply marked as released as normal.


From our Elders to our Children, we await the call
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.


With haste we march, for Greatness
Parole can be given immediately after initial processing; theoretically a prisoner can spend their entire sentence out of the brig.


Oh my Elyra, we sacrifice for you.

===Elyran Synthetics and Citizenship===
Elyran-manufactured synthetics, particularly when compared to their Solarian compatriots, have much of their citizenship and freedom provided for by the Elyran government. As such, concepts of self-ownership and citizenship, although still requiring effort to obtain, are much easier to acquire.
 
During the Lii’dra invasion, the efforts and ultimate sacrifice of many Elyran synthetics spurned respect from the Elyran people, encouraging the laws to change in favor of their synthetic companions. As a result, when an Elyran integrated positronic chassis is manufactured, their ownership largely falls under the megacorporation that built them. Almost akin to a pseudo-guardianship, these synthetics are made to work for the corporation in question for three years before; so long as they maintain good performance evaluations, they are made a free synthetic and offered an Elyran citizenship. During this period, maintenance and repairs are offered as a part of their ownership to the company. However after the synthetic has been made free, they are required to pay for those services. Largely indentured by wages, few synthetics ever ‘leave’ the company, instead moving from a status of ownership to contractorship.
 
A deep-seated paranoia in synthetics manufactured from different systems has meant that non-Elyran synthetics seeking refuge are outright turned away, sent back to their fleeing star system’s or if volatile, decommissioned outright. This however doesn’t stop synthetics from attempting covert operations of forging documentation. As a result, Elyran synthetics have a tiny phoron inlaid engraving on their tag, denoting their original make as Elyran synthetics.
 
= History =
[[File:Elyra Flag.png|thumb|The emblem of the The Serene Republic of Elyra.]]
The Republic of Elyra was formed during a large scale colonization and emigration effort from south western Asia (Middle East) and northern Africa during the early years of space colonization. Sitting on some of the largest petroleum reserves in the world, nations of Arabia and northern Africa found uncommon cooperation between one another to push their own space programs. This economic and scientific partnership soon encompassed even the nations in west Africa with little or no petroleum reserves, as it gave them a competitive edge to the West. This was a matter of necessity and survival, as it was clear that the powers of the West would not willingly share resources that they were raking in from their advances into the resource rich final frontier.
 
So the loose coalition of nations formed their own faction within the Sol Alliance, but as with most of the nations of Earth developed the insatiable hunger for resources that began to exploit the colonists they had sent out. During the civil war with Earth, the colonies of Libya, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Jordan, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait all declared their independence, storming understaffed Sol Alliance garrisons and outposts and seizing the ships and equipment. These planets and systems formed together out of necessity, creating the Coalition of Elyra. This name was taken from the elyra moth, which had been introduced to planets within the Coalition and bred exponentially, making it an extremely common sight in the colonies, and one of their shared characteristics.
 
== After the First Interstellar War ==
 
Due to their distance, being farther out than most other factions, the Coalition was spared from most of the fighting. There were minor skirmishes, but for the most part the Coalition was left alone.
 
This left the colonies time to develop and observe, with many of the highest ranking Coalition officials noting the tactics and outcomes resulting from the conflict raging between the Sol Alliance and independent systems. General Abd Al-Hamid was one of these men: he called for the Coalition to transform into a Republic, claiming that no matter how the war ended, the Coalition would have to walk its own path. There was resistance to this notion, mostly from the old guard of colonists who had been born on Earth or were influenced heavily by those that were. It took three years and two constitutions being dissolved, but on December 1st, 2399, the Republic of Elyra that exists to the present day ratified its constitution.
 
Since then, the colonies have had time to develop, staying out of harm’s way as the Interstellar War raged on and eventually came to a close. In Elyran society’s two-hundred years leading to the twenty-fifth century, it has hinged on its own resolve independent of the Sol Alliance. The rugged, self-sufficient Frontier nation has in time become a technological paradise, and a proud galactic power in the Orion Spur.
 
== Current Times ==
 
Elyra has met more turbulence in recent times than ever before in its two-hundred-fifty year history on a galactic stage. Recent incursions by a Lii’dra hiveship and the Izweski Hegemony have left the public alert, adamant on maintaining purity of Human influence in their own homeland. As such, xeno presence within the Republic has dwindled in recent years.
 
In the past, NanoTrasen relations with Elyra have been spotty as the two contended over the necessity of phoron. Since the Lii’dra invasion, however, a formal aid contract was signed with NT against the Republic government’s better wishes seeking help in their time of need. Holding up to their end of the deal, NanoTrasen fabricated the eponymous “cardox,” a viciously effective chemical which can purge k’ois into nothingness effortlessly. The demand skyrocketed as the need for aid rose, and cardox quickly became a massive thorn in Elyra’s side as NanoTrasen proceeded to hike the prices to extreme heights.
 
Since the death and retrieval of the Lii’dra lesser queen on Bursa, the invading hiveship retreated back into deep space, not seen since.
 
== Bursa Memorial ==
 
The Bursa Memorial was an initiative conducted in 2458 by the Elyran Parliament to house the names of the fallen and missing soldiers along with civilians of the Serene republic of Elyra during the Lii’dra aggression. The site of this is the location in which the hive ship landed. The site itself is separated into walls of different sizes also divided into different sections. Section A is reserved to the land forces, B for the planetside Air Force, C for the navy and D for non-combatants. Sections A-C have their walls separated by their unit or vessel they were stationed in while Section D reserved for non-combatants is separated by place of birth. Like many other memorials of the fallen, this place has an honor guard posted in respect and reverence to the martyrs that have laid down their lives in the name of their Republic.
 
== Relations with Trans-Stellar Corporations ==
 
Due to Elyra's location, they sit with some of the largest reserves of phoron in their area. Nanotrasen was quick to notice this, and for the better part of a decade has been fighting tooth and nail to press claims on the deposits. The smaller systems that had initially depended on phoron mining and refinement found themselves muscled out by Nanotrasen, leading to a rising unemployment level and growing discontent about Nanotrasen policies in Elyran space.
 
While toting itself as wholly independent from megacorporate influence, this could not be further from the truth. Hephaestus and Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals have had a heavy hand in Elyran internal politics for an indiscernible period of time, with both megacorporations battling for rights to even a sliver of the phoron deposits available. So far, very little to none have been granted to either by the doting Republic, but this may be soon to change as the endlessly rich corporations gain more sway.

Note: This page or section is moderated and can be used as a reference. This page or section should not be edited without good reason.
Regulatory Information
Corporate Regulations Guide to Standard Procedure Konyang Laws

Corporate Regulations

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

  • Regulations protecting prisoners from mistreatment applies to even non-crew.
  • Executions are illegal and not allowed by regulations. Station security nor command should be doing any executions. The maximum possible penalty for major infractions is 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 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. 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 station's assigned Captain has full and final authority over the operation of the station. 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 station. 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 station 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 credits
i102 Petty Theft To take items from areas one does not have access to, or to take items belonging to others or the station 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 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 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. Touching someone, when they have explicitly told you not to, does. 2 minutes. Up to 8 minutes and/or demotion. 200 credits
i105 Indecent Exposure or Hooliganism To be intentionally and publicly unclothed, yelling at people for no reason in public or on comms, throwing around stuff where it could hit someone, yelling about how terrible NanoTrasen is, etc. Running around the station naked or in underwear, or other such degrading activities. 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 credits
i106 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 credits
i107 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. If they break the law in some other way, apply that sentence too. 5 minutes. Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion. N/A
i108 Slandering a Head of Staff To directly insult a Head of Staff with no valid complaints. This is most likely to happen when someone is being fired. The charge is only applicable when the statements are slanderous and untrue. 5 minutes. Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion. 250 credits
i109 Slander or Verbal Abuse To spread false rumors in order to damage someone's reputation, or to use racially offensive language. Lying about anything to make someone else look bad, or making use of obscene or offensive slurs against someone else. For example, a drunk assistant starts shouting racial slurs at xeno crew. 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
i110 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 credits
i111 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. For anything more serious see "Sexual Assault". 5 minutes. Up to 15 minutes and/or Demotion. N/A
i112 Animal Cruelty To inflict unnecessary suffering or harm upon animals with malicious intent. Monkeys appropriately used for experiments or well-being (e.g Genetics, Virology, etc.) don't count, neither do the animals ordered from cargo. Shoving them in washing machines, or throwing them down disposals while still alive falls under this. Using them as food is a grey area, as long as they are not overtly caused pain in the process. 5 minutes Up to 10 minutes and/or Demotion. N/A
i113 Vandalism To deliberately damage or deface the station without malicious intent. To cause easily repairable damage to an owned IPC, up to and including disabling the chassis. This can range from disassembling furniture unnecessarily, to drawing on the floor with crayons or other substances outside the chapel. Littering may also fall under this. 3 minutes Up to 10 minutes in total and/or Demotion. 450 credits
i114 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 credits. Tracking implant.
i115 Disrespect to the Dead To abuse bodies of dead or previously 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 cloned or cyborged also falls under this. The Chaplain or medbay tended to corpses in preperation for autopsy or funeral does not fall under this unless they're doing something bizarre and unnecessary. 5 minutes 10 minutes per corpse. 400 credits
i116 Excessive use of force in detainment To use more than the required force to subdue a suspect. Repeatedly batoning a prisoner after they've been handcuffed, Using force against an unarmed and compliant suspect, and usage of lethal weapons in a non-lethal situation. 5 minutes and/or demotion to cadet. 10 minutes and demotion. 350 credits.
i117 Violation of privacy laws To intentionally leak private aspects of employee records or financial account information to unauthorized personnel. 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 station 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. Fine. Demotion and/or Suspension. 500 credits.
i118 Illegal search To preform 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 station. This also does not apply to searches conducted after another, legitimate arrest. A written apology. Return of non-contraband goods and reduced brig time for victim. Demotion and/or Suspension. 500 credits.

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.
Re-education Getting de-converted from revolutionary. Up to and including immediate release
Cooperation with prosecution or security Being helpful to the members of security, revealing things during questioning or providing names of head revolutionaries. Up to -25%. In the case of revealing a head revolutionary, up to -50%.
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 station 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.

Terminology and Clarifications
