Standard Operating Procedure (Soteria Medical)

2023-03-18T22:36:15Z

Rebel0: Updates Soteria SOP

= Soteria Medical Division =
== Medical Oaths ==
While Soteria respects that many medical professionals opt to take vows such as the Hippocratic Oath, these are not recognised as legally binding or as a valid reason for exemption from procedure. Soteria staff are reminded that the Institute has always had progress, at any cost, at its heart.

== Payment for Treatment ==
While the Biolab division’s primary purpose is not to turn a profit, medical supplies are not free. Only certain departments should be given routine charge free treatments, namely security while injured in their endeavors to protect the colony. Baring this, medical treatments should be charged according to the list that follows.

* Surgery per limb requiring treatment (including replacement of dead tissue/organs, additional installation of tissue for exalts): 150 credits
* Nanopaste Revival Procedure: 150 credits
* Cryopod usage: 100 credits
* Dialysis: 75 credits
* Blood transfusion: 75 credits
* Ointment and gauze: 30 credits per unit.
* Stimulants and medication: 1-10 credits per unit, dependent on the difficulty of creation.
** Exceptions to this guideline may be made for chemicals that can be sold at cargo at a higher price than what is allowed, for example, ossisine.

Note that a conscious and stable patient must be informed of the procedure they are about to undergo, and be given the chance to refuse treatment, or request information about alternatives. In cases where a patient cannot give willful consent to treatment, they may only be charged for blood transfusion, cryopod usage, surgery and revival.

Fees may be waived at the discretion of the Soteria medical staff with the permission of a CBO if one is present.

Soteria Biolab Overseers may decide to change these pricing ranges as they see fit during the shift.

=== Elective treatments ===

Elective treatments are defined as treatments that would increase the patient’s quality of life and is not required to treat or revive the patient, either through modification of existing tissue/organ structures or the addition of new tissue/organ structures. Elective treatments may be suggested to a patient as they are in recovery or otherwise stable, they are also to be informed of potential side effects of said treatment (for example, a lowered pain threshold or additional nutriment requirements). Otherwise, payment guidelines for elective treatment is as follows:

* Modification of existing/new tissue: 40 credits per modification
* Printing and/or installation of a new tissue/organ: 200 credits
* Aberrant organs (Including installation): 400 credits per organ structure

Any complications that occur during or after an elective treatment are to be treated at a minimum 50% discount at the discretion of medical staff.

fees for non-elective treatment may be waived at the discretion of the Soteria medical staff with the permission of a CBO if one is present.

Soteria Biolab Overseers may decide to change these pricing ranges as they see fit during the shift.

== Non-Disclosure Policy ==
All patient records, treatments, and data – almost anything the medical staff does (though not the simple fact a patient is or was being present on medical premises) – are not to be disclosed to other members of the colony outside of the Biolab division without the (unanimous) permission of (all) the patient(s) directly involved. Even the Marshals, Premier or personnel with access to medical records are not exempt from this. The medical death of a patient (see “Death” below) is an exception – medical personnel may choose to disclose a patient’s death to unauthorized personnel at their discretion.

Relevant warrants and Code Blue (or above) situations may still grant security personnel access to medical data. In the event that Biolab personnel believe a colonist’s (physical or mental) medical status poses a threat to others, they are permitted to report this to security staff (in the event there is a risk of harmful criminal action) or otherwise to the colonist’s employer. Such situations include patients who are (provided as an example, not an exhaustive list):

* ...believed to be at risk of causing harm to others.
* ...unable to properly uphold the duties of their work, to an extent that is likely to pose a hazard to others (see “Unfitness for Work”).
* ...at risk of spreading an infectious disease.

Personnel given access to medical data become bound by this Non-Disclosure Policy, just as Biolab staff would be. In the event of an emergency, such as a critically wounded colonist, medical data (such as suit sensor readings) may be released if there is no other feasible method of providing essential care.

== Right to Refuse Treatment ==
All patients have the right to refuse treatment, and consent must be given in advance of treatment whenever possible. If they are determined to have a limited capacity for decision-making, this right may be overruled. This is possible in the following situations:

* The patient is unconscious or in critical condition and cannot provide consent to life-saving medical treatment.
* The patient is mentally unsound and cannot properly understand the nature of treatment, or the condition to be treated. All adult colonists are presumed to be of sound mind and capable of granting or withdrawing consent at will, by default.

In the former case, judgment on a patient’s inability to consent may be made on the spot by medical personnel. If a patient is currently undergoing critical treatment when they regain the ability to consciously offer or withdraw consent (such as after waking up from a critical state), they are presumed to consent to continuation of that treatment unless otherwise specified.
In the latter case, the patient must be assessed as incapable of refusal by a Psychiatrist or Chief Biolab Overseer. In the event of physical conditions (i.e. infection-induced delirium or mind-altering drugs) altering a patient’s ability to consent, or the absence of staff capable of making the assessment, this decision may be made by non-Psychiatric personnel. The CBO may always overrule this assessment.

A patient may request alternative treatments. In such cases, the treating doctor should exercise their discretion as to whether the alternative would be sufficient. They may decline to provide treatments that are ineffective or harmful, and should (as detailed under Payment for Treatment) charge if the requested alternative is costly to provide.

== Unfitness for Work ==
In some cases, a colonist may suffer from a medical condition that renders them unable to fulfill their duties properly. This could be a physical impairment or psychological issue. In such cases, the Chief Biolab Overseer may declare that they are unfit for their role (a Doctor or Psychiatrist, whichever is relevant to the condition, may initiate this process in the absence of a CBO) and present a written assessment to the Low Council detailing the reasons for their decision. As outlined in the Non-Disclosure Policy, Council staff are bound by standard confidentiality laws with regard to this information.

The Council is to vote on whether this assessment is valid, as outlined under Council SOP (“Demoting Staff”). In the event that the subject is deemed to be unfit for their role, they must choose to either accept a suspension (as though the Council had voted to demote them) or receive treatment as soon as possible.

What exactly qualifies as “unfit” varies based on the position and condition in question. A medical condition that merely lessens a colonist’s ability to work is not grounds for this procedure, while one that prevents them from fulfilling tasks safely or in a reasonable timeframe is. A Scientist who is wheelchair-bound cannot be assessed as unfit simply because they take slightly longer to navigate the lab, but a Marshal Officer with reduced mobility could be.

== Hygiene and Disease Control ==
Medical staff should wear sterile clothing (such as non-allergenic lab coats and gloves) while treating patients, though this is not required while “standing by '' provided they can don proper equipment in a reasonable timeframe. Blood, vomit, chemical spills and other janitorial issues should be cleaned as soon as is feasible.
In the event that an infectious disease posing a considerable threat to personnel is suspected to exist:
* All infected crew are to be isolated.
* Medical personnel are encouraged to wear biohazard-protective equipment, and are required to at least wear a face covering and gloves at all times. The Chief Biolab Overseer may, and is encouraged to, amend the required equipment to better protect against the disease’s transmission vectors.

These protocols are to remain in place until a vaccine or cure is developed.

== Death ==
While “death” has taken on a number of meanings in the common parlance, for the purpose of Medical SOP, it is defined as indefinite cessation of nervous activity. In such a state, a patient may still show traces of brain activity (see below), but all bodily functions cease. If a patient is recognized as “dead” by medical scanning and diagnosis equipment, they are medically dead.

Note that this state is not necessarily permanent, and can potentially be reversed by a defibrillator (as detailed in medical training materials). In the event of a defibrillator reporting a “mental interface error”, the device is unable to restore substantial brain functions. If interface errors continue, the patient is to be placed into the morgue, where their corpse will be transported to the lower levels of the colony between shifts to assess whether recovery is possible through more intensive treatment.

=== DNR Orders and Suicide ===
A “DNR” or Do Not Revive order may be applied to a colonist’s medical records under certain circumstances, and dictates that they should not be treated in the event of death. Should a DNR be found, the patient is not to be revived, and to do so is considered Negligence. In some cases, the order may be subject to conditions, such as specifying that a patient should only be allowed to remain dead if their death is the result of a specific medical condition. A DNR may be placed under the following circumstances:
* A patient, who would typically be fit to refuse treatment, confirms their desire not to be revived. This requires assessment by a Psychiatrist or the Chief Biolab Overseer.
* The subject has been sentenced to execution via the proper legal procedure.
* The subject is an infiltrator, outsider or enemy of the colony and security staff have declared they are not to be revived.

'''Falsifying a DNR is considered to be Murder.'''

In cases of suspected suicide, the patient should be revived and security staff contacted to investigate for signs of foul play. Should the patient express a desire to die, they should be detained by security staff for urgent psychiatric evaluation. This paragraph does not apply if the patient possesses a valid Do Not Revive order.
((OOC: As mentioned in the server’s Rules, suicide is almost always OOCly disallowed. Contact an admin if you intend for your character to do it.))

== Workplace Structure ==
The Chief Biolab Overseer is the highest authority in the department. Medical Doctors and Psychologists are considered to be of equal rank. While LifeLine Technicians are generally capable of handling their own duties unguided, they should assist other personnel if requested.

Standard Operating Procedure (Marshals)

2023-03-09T09:26:25Z

Rebel0: /* Marshals Standard Operating Procedure */

= Marshals Standard Operating Procedure =
The Marshals are the colony's main internal police enforment. Comprised of gunsmiths, police officers, investigators, and weapon specialists. The Marshals maintain a relatively elite yet limited size force within the colony, looking for skilled personnel to fill vacancies. Marshals are expected to work in close proximity to the colony's militia, the Blackshield.

In the case SOP guidelines are violated, a Warrant Officer is to review the case and consider demotion if the offense is malicious or heinous. If no Warrant Officer is present, High Council should be faxed about any findings regarding Marshal or Blackshield violation of SOP.

Blackshield personnel, if acting as an arresting officer, '''must''' follow Marshal SOP guidelines.

All Marshal personnel MUST be:
* Able bodied.
* Not serving a current criminal sentence.
* ‘Relatively’ clean record.
* Low to Medium security risk.

== General Duties & Guidelines ==
* On code green all arrests the warrant must be authorized by either the premier, warrant officer, supply specialist, or ranger to be considered valid. In the absence of all the stated jobs a marshal officer may use his own signature and fax the high council should he do so. Failure to have a warrant during an arrest will lead to the offending officer being fined, charged, and/or potentially fired for multiple violations of the colony's Laws.
** The Warrant Assist program may be used to place warrants and act upon them. If a crime, however, is committed in front of an officer they may use reasonable cause and detain the person. A warrant is still to be filed later, such as after processing, in the case of direct witness to a crime.
** Note that this only applies to arrest warrants. Search warrants are required to be written, signed or stamped, before the search is conducted. Failure to do so will result in all charges being dropped.
* During an investigation witnesses may be interviewed to support physical evidence gained. Impartial witnesses, such as those with nothing reasonable to gain for such testimony nor relation to either victim nor offender, are desired to support a case. The investigator/arresting officer may do this with their own witness testimony as well, if they observe a crime being committed.
* When confronting a suspect is brought in for any green paragraph crime, you must offer the suspect a chance to pay a fine. If the fine is paid, they are to be released from brig as time-spent, unless otherwise specified by Laws. The fine is to be turned in to the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist. If the fine is refused, they are to be brigged.
* When arresting or fining a suspect, they are entitled to have their case reviewed by the premier, or lack thereof, any member of the council willing to do so by volunteer. If there is no one capable of reviewing their case, they may still attempt to appeal on their own. Regardless of what type of appeal is made, the suspect is still to be punished until the punishment expires or the appeal passes.
* Refusal of handcuffs does not constitute resisting arrest, as per Laws §202. If a suspect refuses handcuffs and is being arrested, but is cooperative, they are to be escorted to brig. Refusal however to follow legal order may be considered resisting arrest, such as refusing to sit down in an interrogation room or acting otherwise unruly. Attempting to cuff a compliant subject is considered a §117 violation of employee rights.
** If you cannot handcuff someone that requires cuffs, such as they are using a deployed hardsuit or have a missing hand, you must warn them at least three times to comply with the arrest. If they continue to refuse after the third warning is given marshal personnel and only marshal personnel may subdue and detain them by any necessary means. If death occurs due to the force used, Marshal officers may not be charged for any wrongdoing.
** Races that are immune to non-lethal stun based weaponry are to have flashes or pepperspray deployed against them. If they continue to refuse to comply, or if these non-lethal means do not effect them, a verbal warning should be given that continued resistance will result in lethal force to subdue the suspect. After the warning, or if they attempt to flee, lethal force may be administered as deemed necessary.
* When confronting an armed suspect, always call for additional backup, preferably prior to the engagement. If the suspect draws a weapon, already has a weapon in their hands, or has used a weapon already, use of lethal force is immediately authorized and you are not required to announce intentions to arrest until after they are subdued.
** No matter the loaded ammo of a ballistic firearm, fire-mode an energy weapon, or mode of a possibly lethal hand-weapon, all firearms are to be treated as if they are loaded with lethals and being used with lethal intent. A gun loaded with rubbers, or an energy gun on tase firemode, are still to be treated as a firearm capable of lethal intent.
* If a suspect uses a mech to resist arrest, lethal force is automatically authorized.
* If a suspect escapes the colony, lethal force is authorized for any personnel within the marshals or blackshield who attempt to pursue. Blackshield are to be notified to find the suspect. Shoot-on-sight may be granted to them if deemed necessary.
* In terms of dealing with genetically enhanced colonists, Marshals are to switch to lethals if they are too problematic to take down by normal means. This includes illegal genetics such as hulk genes or other extreme body-altering genetics.
* A Warrant Officer may deem an offender of a capital crime as too dangerous for revival and issue a ‘DNR’ - Do Not Revive - order. If the council wishes to override a DNR order, they must vote to do so or the Warrant Officer must be changed for abusing their authority. If a DNR order is overturned, the offender is to be revived.
** DNR orders are to be used sparingly. Only offenders who have either attempted to escape HUT and died in the process or capital offenders, such as active murderers or terrorists that may risk the well being of others if revived despite containment, are the only colonists who may have a DNR order put upon them.
** Colony members violating a DNR order are to be arrested as a collaborator in whatever crime the offender has committed. I.e - if a doctor knowingly revives a DNR offender charged with terrorism, the doctor is to be charged as aiding in the crime.

== Evidence, Contraband & Confiscated Weapons ==
Objects confiscated as evidence of a crime, including any confiscated weapons and contraband, are to remain in evidence lockers after confiscation from the offender. In the case of a firearm being confiscated a record is to be made of the gun’s model and serial number on the arrest case-file or incident report.

During a state of emergency, such as code blue or higher, a Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist may issue contraband or guns confiscated as evidence to security personnel to defend the colony. Paperwork should be done listing the officer using the contraband or weapon, the name of the colonist the weapon was taken from, and the serial number - if applicable. After the end of the emergency the gun must be returned to evidence.

Evidence in any previous or ongoing arrest must not, under any circumstances, be broken down for materials or otherwise destroyed. Doing so may result in Providing False Evidence or Testimony (303) charges.

Contraband collected that is not involved in an arrest may be broken down as it is not evidence of a crime.

== Secure areas ==
* In code green, secure areas like the AI core, research server room, telecommunications, bridge, all armories (security, bridge, and church) etc, should never be blocked. Use of deployable barriers to block areas during code green is considered illegal under Laws §307. Trespassing in these areas is covered under §309 or 508.
All armories are considered secure areas and have their own section SOP. '''Trespassers may be shot lethally on sight upon entering.'''
* The AI may not bolt its core down without an order to do so by the Chief Research Overseer or in the case of an emergency. The AI must obey orders from Low Council personnel to enter if needed, unless in the case doing so would aid a criminal. AIs that disobey orders as such are to be carded or, if force is used against officers, the AI is to be destroyed.
* The research server room has a variety of sensitive information. Unauthorized personnel in this location are to be captured, searched, and interrogated before being charged and sentenced.
* The brig is considered a high security area. Unauthorized personnel attempting to break in, or any "Hold until Transfer" inmates attempting to break out, are both to be shot on sight with lethal force.
* The telecomms is a highly sensitive area that provides vital communications among the crew and to the high council, thus any unauthorized personnel who have accessed the control room are shoot-to-kill.

== Prisoner Processing & Rights ==

Criminal processing should not take more than a few minutes at most. Don't needlessly waste time with additional questioning and interrogation until they're already properly arrested. Detained prisoners are the responsibility of the arresting officer or, if one volunteers, another officer, the supply specialist, or the warrant officer.

When an offender is officially charged and is to be brigged, the responsibility shifts to the Supply Specialist to oversee prisoner brigging and the application of the decided timer on the cell computer.

* Prisoners are to have all gear placed within the locker.
* Timers and modifiers are to be input into the cell timer and are not to include time spent in processing or detainment.
* Prisoners, if uncooperative, wearing an improper uniform - such as demoted personnel - or otherwise unruly, should be transferred into prisoner clothing found within the locker in each cell.
* Prisoners who pose a risk to themselves or others, such as through suicide attempts or violent outbrusts, should be moved to a solitary confinement cell.

'''The time you took for bringing the suspect in and the time you spend questioning are NOT to be calculated into this. This is the pure time someone spends in a cell staring at the wall.'''

* Prisoners are entitled to swift processing when being arrested and put into the brig. Processing is not to take an unreasonable amount of time, such as exceeding the timer of the crime they are being put in for.
** The Low Council may determine when processing becomes unreasonable time-wise. In cases of excessive processing, charges should be dropped. This does not count, however, if a voting council member is one of those charged. This should be appealed to the High Council via fax.
* Prisoners are entitled to speak to the premier or volunteer council member for legal defense if requested.
* Prisoners are entitled to food and water if requested.
* Prisoners have the right to maintain communication devices, such as PDAs or radio headsets. These, however, may be revoked by the authority of a Supply Specialist or Warrant Officer in the case of a security threat or due to the abuse of said communications to disturb the peace of normal colonists.
* All of the prisoner’s belongings, that are not evidence in a case, should be placed into a respective jail cell for them to recover upon release. Personal property not considered evidence must be returned upon release.
* Prisoners have the right to use the fax machine within brig freely; so long as the machine is used responsibly.
* Prisoners who are injured have the right to treatment by certified personnel. Minor injuries are to be treated in the brig, such as bruising, burns, or non-life threatening injuries. In the case of major injuries, such as an injury requiring surgery or being possibly life-threatening, the prisoner is to be moved to Soteria for treatment.
* Prisoners hold the right to have visitors if their timer is over 25 minutes and if security levels permit. Security may suspend this right on code Blue or Red alert levels. Similarly, security must allow at least one visitor for the prisoner but may limit how many may visit. Visitors should be disarmed of any tools or weapons that could aid the prisoner. These tools or weapons should be returned after the visitation period.
* All prisoners are entitled to safe and reasonable cell accommodations such as functional lighting, a place to sleep, and access to the brig's communal area if serving a sentence longer than 25 minutes.

== Executions ==
Upon low council approval, executions are to start shortly after the vote is held. The prisoner, however, is not to be executed within 15 minutes of the decision unless the high council sends back approval for proceedings to continue. This is done to give a chance of high council review; allowing a hold on execution. Once this 15 minute period has ended, '''execution procedures are to begin.'''

* The prisoner is informed of their punishment and is to be provided the decision of their preferred execution method. The normally permitted options include lethal injection, firing squad, asphyxiation, or cyborgification. Other methods may be permitted but are at the discretion of the Lower Council.
* The prisoner may request a last meal. If requested, personnel are obligated to serve one to the prisoner unless deemed excessive by the Lower Council.
* Final requests are to be taken, but are not obligated to act upon if deemed unreasonable by Lower Council.
* The prisoner is escorted to the execution location under heavily armed guards and is restrained.
** In the case of lethal injection, the prisoner is to be moved to Soteria for the procedure to begin.
** In the case of firing squads, the prisoner is to be moved to the firing range. Security personnel should be armed lethally to ensure a quick death.
** In the case of asphyxiation, the prisoner is to be moved to either a secure location at Guild capable of oxygen deprivation, or other means asphyxiation, or moved to Soteria for controlled tank-usage.
** In the case of cyborgification, the prisoner is to be moved to Soteria and their brain removed. After removal the brain should be put into an MMI and shackled to a lawed AI.
* It is required for the premier and at least three council members to be present, or else an execution may not proceed.

== Marshal Armory ==
The Marshal armory is divided into two sections - the public shop area and the storage area. Everything in the room behind the shop is the storage area. The shop has two sections, the secure area behind the windows that allows access to the display cases and front-room storage, and that of the public area in front of the desk and on the non-windoor side of the display cases. Unless asked to leave or banned from the armory shop, the public shop area is publicly accessible to anyone providing the blast doors are open. Any colonist may buy, sell or trade with the appropriate authorities there. Behind the desk is considered, similar to the armory, a secure area.

* In regards to the storage area of the armory, the Supply Specialist is the controller of the armory. When it comes to the armory, the Supply Specialist’s word is law. The Supply Specialist is responsible for handing out weapons, keeping everything stocked and inventoried, and running the shop. While the Warrant Officer, Commander and Sergeant may have access, the Supply Specialist is to be respected. If they tell you to leave, you leave. Failure to comply leaves you open to legal ramifications such as abuse of powers, grand trespass or other charges that may be levied.
* In case of a weapon request from Marshals/Blackshield, the Supply Specialist must always utilize paperwork that determines what was removed from the Armory. The weapon that gets replaced should also be noted on the paperwork and handed in with all ammo.
* In case of selling items from the armory proper, the Supply Specialist is to keep a receipt on what item(s) were sold and how many credits were made. Any loans to individual Marshals, Blackshield department, or other individuals, are to be kept track of through written receipts. Copies are to be kept by the Supply Specialist or Warrant Officer.
* If no Supply Specialist is present or available, the rank order of ownership goes to the Warrant Officer. If no Warrant Officer is present a CO, Sergeant or Premier may access the armory but only in exceptional situations; such as the need to arm other Marshals in an emergency situation. The marshal armory is not a play-thing.
** Under normal circumstances no equipment should be handed out for free to non-marshal department staff.
* In a Code-Red scenario, the armory should be fully utilized and weapons should be handed out to Marshal officers first, volunteers of Blackshield second and colonists last. These should be returned when the crisis is over or else the individual may face legal consequences. Abusing access, authority or carelessly using the resources is a reason for demotion under charges 405.
* The Department Account is trusted to the Supply Specialist to use, as well as the Warrant Officer, Blackshield CO, and Blackshield Sergeant. All personnel in these positions are trusted to use the finances responsibly to upgrade or equip the department as required. This may include purchasing weapons, allowing loans for equipment, and so on for members of the Marshal and Blackshield department.
* Due to Marshals and Blackshield shared-budgets, exorbitant spending may result in applicable charges to either the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist if they are found to have embezzled funds or spent an unreasonable portion of the budget, such as over half of it, on unneeded purchases.
** If a Commander or Sergeant is present, they are to be informed of any purchases over the cost of 5k credits.
* Blackshield may provide gear from their teleporter or armory for a Supply Specialist or Warrant Officer to sell for profit. All profits from these sales must go into the joint department bank account. Failure to do so will be considered theft or grand theft, depending on the value of said item.

Standard Operating Procedure (Lonestar & Service)

2023-03-09T03:24:44Z

Rebel0: Loophole fix

= Lonestar Shipping =
With the Lonestar radio fully repaired, it is to fully remain in Lonestar proper. It cannot be brought out of the department, it cannot be in the Lonestar service areas, such as the bar, janitor's room, or the artist's room. It is to fully remain in Lonestar proper. Whilst colonists that are not members of Lonestar are near, the radio is to remain off if they are in hearing distance of it. Violations of this will result in immediate confiscation and application of law 103 and 106. Commenting on sensitive matters, on public comms or to other departments, can also be a applicable charge of 103 and 106.

Lonestar provides a collection of [[Example_Paperwork#Cargo|Example Paperwork for Cargo]] that can be used during a shift. Keep several copies available at all times.

It is recommended you use this at least this format for Orders from the Cargo Console: [[Example_Paperwork#Lonestar_Shipping_Receipt_v2|Lonestar Shipping reciepts]] and [[Example_Paperwork#Confirmation_Form_v2|confirmation paperwork]] for selling materials as receipts to justify your personal profits and keep an ordered paper trail.

== Cargo Order Placing & Receiving ==
Cargo orders are a matter of buying and selling. Cargo will always charge more for a crate than the listed price as a way to make a profit on it. Cargo can sell anything to anyone with the reasonable restriction of needing a paper trail of all orders, receipts, and requests. If someone purchases something that is then used for a crime, cargo is not liable if the proper record keeping has been done.

The following steps are needed for a proper order:

* If an order is accepted, skip this step. If it has been declined, stamp the request form with the "Denied" stamp, and put it in the file cabinet next to the cargo computer. Inform the customer that their request has been declined, and the reason why. Give the denied customer a copy of the form below, and keep a copy for your own records and paperclip it to the request form that was denied.
Cargo Request Denial Record
* If an order is accepted, skip this step. If the order is declined, this is the final step. Open the cargo computer and decline the order if it exists.
* The order has been accepted. Accept the agreed upon payment and open the cargo computer to accept the order, or place the order and accept it if the order does not exist.
* Do not immediately process the customer’s order. Confirm with the customer, "Will that be all?" If so, or if they just wander off without confirming this, you may now process the order.
* Ask the customer how they would like the cargo delivered. There are three methods of delivery: Pickup, mail, or courier. By default, cargo is pickup. Dangerous cargo is pickup only. is to be returned if the order cannot be picked up within 30 minutes of arrival.
* Upon arrival of the cargo, bring all cargo to the center of the cargo bay. You may be dealing with multiple orders from multiple people, so ensure you have sorted the cargo to its correct owner before delivering anything. Leave notes if necessary. Do not open any crates for any reason as ordered crates will be ID locked.
* Once the cargo is sorted, deliver the cargo using the specified method to the specified location. By default, it is to be sent to the customer's department. Pickup orders are to be kept in the cargo bay (not the lobby) until the customer arrives to pick it up. Mailed orders are to be wrapped and tagged in the mail room and sent through the pipe network to their destination. Courier delivered orders must have a cargo technician bring the order(s) directly to the destination.
* Upon delivery of any order, ensure you are given back the manifest of the order. All cargo technicians are responsible for stamping manifests and returning them to the cargo warehouse.
* If possible, collect the empty crates of any completed orders for return to the cargo warehouse. If you have any stamped manifests, put them in one of these crates.
* You're done! Relax and wait for the next cargo request.

== Mining Standard Operation Procedure ==
Mining is the section of Lonestar that goes down to the deep tunnels to harvest minerals either through the use of a hand drill or bulk mining drill. Miners are generally equipped with a weapon of their choice and go below ground to run their day to day operations. In addition miners are given an oxygen-supplied voidsuit should they ever become lost underground, the suit even comes with armor for dealing with any dangerous creatures found in the depths.

Miners should always perform these tasks:

* Get equipped: Miners suggested to at the minimum take a mining satchel, ore scanner, shovel or drill, armored voidsuit, a toolbelt (with at minimum a screwdriver, crowbar, duct tape, and wrench), a weapon, a shortwave hand radio, and basic medical supplies.
* Upgrade your tools: Miners should consider getting tool upgrades for their shovel or drill. Miners who use the drill should consider getting an advanced motor, expanded fuel tank, and ergonomic grip. Shovel users should consider an ergonomic grip and whetstone for a sharpened edge and, if possible, a diamond edge.
* Bigger, better batteries: Miners should see about getting larger and more powerful batteries from either the Prospectors or Soteria if they plan to use the bulk mining drills. The standard batteries within leave much to be desired. Additional batteries are also very useful for optical meson scanners.
* Regular maintenance: Miners should always bring an ore crate with which they can empty the bulk mining drills to prevent them from grinding to a halt due to being full. Hand tool miners should always use duct tape regularly to maintain and fix their tools so they don't break mid-outing. Be advised, a broken tool cannot be recovered, nor its tool augments.
* Stay alive: You're no use to the colony or your fellow miners if you bleed out or pass out from injury. A regular medkit, a few tramadol pills, and a single syringe of Dylovene can keep you alive long enough to get back topside for proper treatment if you forget or have used up your issued IFAK.
* Communication: Always keep in contact with your fellow miners in case you get in trouble and need help. A shortwave radio is a great back up if regular communications go down. Miners should also carry a GPS device tailored to their name or be prepared to read off their GPS position shown in their PDA.

''Miners should never bring their non-pistol weaponry into public colony areas and should leave all contraband weapons in the mining prep area or personnel lockers.''

Upon returning, miners are expected to fill out a mineral inventory form with an accurate count of all minerals collected. A copy of this form should be provided to the Chief Executive Officer and filed in the main cargo desk area for easy bookkeeping. This form must be filled out for every shipment of minerals taken up from the deep tunnels separately.

== Profit Distribution ==
Lonestar's goal is to make as many credits as possible, although a deal that continues after one transaction is considered more profitable than a one-time deal. Anyone working for Lonestar is generously supplied with a wage for their basic living needs. While promotions are not always possible, every Lonestar employee should have the potential to earn money for both themselves and Lonestar.

* All transactions done by Lonestar offer a 20% commission from the profit margin to any Lonestar employee facilitating the transaction, period. Example, a cargo tech sells a crate that cost 500 credits, but was able to negotiate the buyer into paying 1000 credits. The profit is 500 credits, 20% of that (100 credits) is then directly claimable by the employee who managed the transaction.
* All service members (bartender, chef, and gardener) may charge whatever prices they see fit for their respective services. Employees are recommended to charge above 10 credits but no more than 100 credits per drink or food item depending on the difficulty/challenge of fulfilling said order. Service members do not collect a commission for the sale of drinks and food (this is handled with their hourly wages) but are entitled to the full amount of any tips offered and may pocket it at their discretion.
* Trade beacons may be used freely by all lonestar employees using their personal accounts for purchasing or selling goods. Lonestar automatically collects a 20% market fee that is directly removed and then added to the Lonestar account whenever an item is sold through the trade beacon, this cut is to be taken out prior to profits being calculated. Lonestar has no service charge, nor tax on goods bought through the trade beacon, only goods sold. Cargo technicians and CEOs with access to Lonestars main account are expected to only use the trade beacon to gain a profit for Lonestar if they are using Lonestars main account.
** Bypassing this by using one's personal account to sell Lonestar goods bought with Lonestar money is seen as bad faith, and possibly Theft. When in doubt - contact your CEO.
* Miners receive a 20% commission on all profits generated by the materials they dig up. Since dug up and refined minerals are generally pure profitability, lonestar miners may simply total the complete cost of the materials cargo sale value and request that commission from any CEO or cargo technician (with the proper paperwork). Alternatively, miners may try to sell the materials to fellow colonists themselves at whatever price they negotiate. As with normal commissions, they may take a 20% cut of all profits generated, but are required to keep paperwork detailing who bought what and for how much (if tools and goods are traded in the place of credits, list the tools in numerical value).
* CEOs and CTs that arrive late to a shift cannot demand retroactive pay due to any sales on personal accounts. However, they can demand that any and all trading to stations and/or work that would fall upon a CT or CEO to cease.

== Preserving Lonestar Public Relations And Trade Opportunities ==
In order to preserve commerce with the trading partners of Lonestar, and prevent possible long-term consequences of company relations on the actions of a bad actor, the CEO and other Lonestar Shipping staff must exercise vigilance in prevention of authorizing fraudulent transactions of credits or goods. And Lonestar Shipping staff, as a whole, must be courteous in regards to existing and potential trade partners in pursuit of the company's interests.

This includes, but is not limited to:

* Exploiting improperly calibrated databases or equipment to profit off of any clearly deceitful business practices to Stations or Ships that trading is conducted with, either by shuttle or trading beacons. This includes permitting or paying third parties to do this in place of Lonestar staff, in which case, the authorizing members of Lonestar Shipping are to be held responsible.
* Should the uncommon occurrence of direct communication be established with existing out of colony trading partners, or a possibly beneficial group of potential Lonestar Shipping's interest, conduct of Lonestar staff should be held to an appropriate standard.
Should an employee of Lonestar be discovered to be acting against Lonestar's interests in either of these cases, they should be charged with §301, negligence. Depending on the context, a short fax to Lonestar regarding the incident may be warranted for potential further actions or punishment at the discretion of the High Council.

=== Internal Relations ===
Miners are not CTs, and CTs are not miners. That being said, if there happens to be a lack of one or the other workers are encouraged but not required to step up for the missing personnel. If there is no miner on, a CT is encouraged to mine for ores, but a CT cannot utilize the mining outpost to their hearts content and cannot outsource the work or access to colonists for the purpose of third party work. Miners are encouraged to process orders and requests from colonists, but due to a lack of proper access, miners must mention that all orders must be supplied via email or paper. Miners also do not have final say over the bay in lieu of a CT.

Both CTs and Miners are discouraged from allowing colonists and service workers such as the janitor and bartender from accessing the beacon. CEO are heavily discouraged from copying, or handing out LS's proprietary program. Any breach of program security should be reported as soon as possible to LSS

Standard Operating Procedure (Lonestar & Service)

Rebel0: Loophole fix

= Lonestar Shipping =
With the Lonestar radio fully repaired, it is to fully remain in Lonestar proper. It cannot be brought out of the department, it cannot be in the Lonestar service areas, such as the bar, janitor's room, or the artist's room. It is to fully remain in Lonestar proper. Whilst colonists that are not members of Lonestar are near, the radio is to remain off if they are in hearing distance of it. Violations of this will result in immediate confiscation and application of law 103 and 106. Commenting on sensitive matters, on public comms or to other departments, can also be a applicable charge of 103 and 106.

Lonestar provides a collection of [[Example_Paperwork#Cargo|Example Paperwork for Cargo]] that can be used during a shift. Keep several copies available at all times.

It is recommended you use this at least this format for Orders from the Cargo Console: [[Example_Paperwork#Lonestar_Shipping_Receipt_v2|Lonestar Shipping reciepts]] and [[Example_Paperwork#Confirmation_Form_v2|confirmation paperwork]] for selling materials as receipts to justify your personal profits and keep an ordered paper trail.

== Cargo Order Placing & Receiving ==
Cargo orders are a matter of buying and selling. Cargo will always charge more for a crate than the listed price as a way to make a profit on it. Cargo can sell anything to anyone with the reasonable restriction of needing a paper trail of all orders, receipts, and requests. If someone purchases something that is then used for a crime, cargo is not liable if the proper record keeping has been done.

The following steps are needed for a proper order:

* If an order is accepted, skip this step. If it has been declined, stamp the request form with the "Denied" stamp, and put it in the file cabinet next to the cargo computer. Inform the customer that their request has been declined, and the reason why. Give the denied customer a copy of the form below, and keep a copy for your own records and paperclip it to the request form that was denied.
Cargo Request Denial Record
* If an order is accepted, skip this step. If the order is declined, this is the final step. Open the cargo computer and decline the order if it exists.
* The order has been accepted. Accept the agreed upon payment and open the cargo computer to accept the order, or place the order and accept it if the order does not exist.
* Do not immediately process the customer’s order. Confirm with the customer, "Will that be all?" If so, or if they just wander off without confirming this, you may now process the order.
* Ask the customer how they would like the cargo delivered. There are three methods of delivery: Pickup, mail, or courier. By default, cargo is pickup. Dangerous cargo is pickup only. is to be returned if the order cannot be picked up within 30 minutes of arrival.
* Upon arrival of the cargo, bring all cargo to the center of the cargo bay. You may be dealing with multiple orders from multiple people, so ensure you have sorted the cargo to its correct owner before delivering anything. Leave notes if necessary. Do not open any crates for any reason as ordered crates will be ID locked.
* Once the cargo is sorted, deliver the cargo using the specified method to the specified location. By default, it is to be sent to the customer's department. Pickup orders are to be kept in the cargo bay (not the lobby) until the customer arrives to pick it up. Mailed orders are to be wrapped and tagged in the mail room and sent through the pipe network to their destination. Courier delivered orders must have a cargo technician bring the order(s) directly to the destination.
* Upon delivery of any order, ensure you are given back the manifest of the order. All cargo technicians are responsible for stamping manifests and returning them to the cargo warehouse.
* If possible, collect the empty crates of any completed orders for return to the cargo warehouse. If you have any stamped manifests, put them in one of these crates.
* You're done! Relax and wait for the next cargo request.

== Mining Standard Operation Procedure ==
Mining is the section of Lonestar that goes down to the deep tunnels to harvest minerals either through the use of a hand drill or bulk mining drill. Miners are generally equipped with a weapon of their choice and go below ground to run their day to day operations. In addition miners are given an oxygen-supplied voidsuit should they ever become lost underground, the suit even comes with armor for dealing with any dangerous creatures found in the depths.

Miners should always perform these tasks:

* Get equipped: Miners suggested to at the minimum take a mining satchel, ore scanner, shovel or drill, armored voidsuit, a toolbelt (with at minimum a screwdriver, crowbar, duct tape, and wrench), a weapon, a shortwave hand radio, and basic medical supplies.
* Upgrade your tools: Miners should consider getting tool upgrades for their shovel or drill. Miners who use the drill should consider getting an advanced motor, expanded fuel tank, and ergonomic grip. Shovel users should consider an ergonomic grip and whetstone for a sharpened edge and, if possible, a diamond edge.
* Bigger, better batteries: Miners should see about getting larger and more powerful batteries from either the Prospectors or Soteria if they plan to use the bulk mining drills. The standard batteries within leave much to be desired. Additional batteries are also very useful for optical meson scanners.
* Regular maintenance: Miners should always bring an ore crate with which they can empty the bulk mining drills to prevent them from grinding to a halt due to being full. Hand tool miners should always use duct tape regularly to maintain and fix their tools so they don't break mid-outing. Be advised, a broken tool cannot be recovered, nor its tool augments.
* Stay alive: You're no use to the colony or your fellow miners if you bleed out or pass out from injury. A regular medkit, a few tramadol pills, and a single syringe of Dylovene can keep you alive long enough to get back topside for proper treatment if you forget or have used up your issued IFAK.
* Communication: Always keep in contact with your fellow miners in case you get in trouble and need help. A shortwave radio is a great back up if regular communications go down. Miners should also carry a GPS device tailored to their name or be prepared to read off their GPS position shown in their PDA.

''Miners should never bring their non-pistol weaponry into public colony areas and should leave all contraband weapons in the mining prep area or personnel lockers.''

Upon returning, miners are expected to fill out a mineral inventory form with an accurate count of all minerals collected. A copy of this form should be provided to the Chief Executive Officer and filed in the main cargo desk area for easy bookkeeping. This form must be filled out for every shipment of minerals taken up from the deep tunnels separately.

== Profit Distribution ==
Lonestar's goal is to make as many credits as possible, although a deal that continues after one transaction is considered more profitable than a one-time deal. Anyone working for Lonestar is generously supplied with a wage for their basic living needs. While promotions are not always possible, every Lonestar employee should have the potential to earn money for both themselves and Lonestar.

* All transactions done by Lonestar offer a 20% commission from the profit margin to any Lonestar employee facilitating the transaction, period. Example, a cargo tech sells a crate that cost 500 credits, but was able to negotiate the buyer into paying 1000 credits. The profit is 500 credits, 20% of that (100 credits) is then directly claimable by the employee who managed the transaction.

== Preserving Lonestar Public Relations And Trade Opportunities ==
In order to preserve commerce with the trading partners of Lonestar, and prevent possible long-term consequences of company relations on the actions of a bad actor, the CEO and other Lonestar Shipping staff must exercise vigilance in prevention of authorizing fraudulent transactions of credits or goods. And Lonestar Shipping staff, as a whole, must be courteous in regards to existing and potential trade partners in pursuit of the company's interests.

This includes, but is not limited to:

* Exploiting improperly calibrated databases or equipment to profit off of any clearly deceitful business practices to Stations or Ships that trading is conducted with, either by shuttle or trading beacons. This includes permitting or paying third parties to do this in place of Lonestar staff, in which case, the authorizing members of Lonestar Shipping are to be held responsible.
* Should the uncommon occurrence of direct communication be established with existing out of colony trading partners, or a possibly beneficial group of potential Lonestar Shipping's interest, conduct of Lonestar staff should be held to an appropriate standard.
Should an employee of Lonestar be discovered to be acting against Lonestar's interests in either of these cases, they should be charged with §301, negligence. Depending on the context, a short fax to Lonestar regarding the incident may be warranted for potential further actions or punishment at the discretion of the High Council.

=== Internal Relations ===
Miners are not CTs, and CTs are not miners. That being said, if there happens to be a lack of one or the other workers are encouraged but not required to step up for the missing personnel. If there is no miner on, a CT is encouraged to mine for ores, but a CT cannot utilize the mining outpost to their hearts content and cannot outsource the work or access to colonists for the purpose of third party work. Miners are encouraged to process orders and requests from colonists, but due to a lack of proper access, miners must mention that all orders must be supplied via email or paper. Miners also do not have final say over the bay in lieu of a CT.

Both CTs and Miners are discouraged from allowing colonists and service workers such as the janitor and bartender from accessing the beacon. CEO are heavily discouraged from copying, or handing out LS's proprietary program. Any breach of program security should be reported as soon as possible to LSS

= Lonestar Service =
Lonestar's service division operates on private subcontractors for work, hiring both Lonestar employees and self-employed peoples to work for them. Lonestar's service wing includes gardeners, bartenders, janitors, and artist who partake in the preforming arts.

== Janitor Procedure ==
You have one of the best paying jobs that no one seems to take often in the entire colony. That of cleaning up after others. But you know what they say, one mans trash is another mans treasure.

* Janitors are responsible for preventing and aiding in putting down outbreaks of pests within the colony.
** Pests include: Mice, roaches, spiders, and other animals that may come from burrows.
** If an infestion is particularly bad, Marshals or Blackshield should be informed to aid.
* Janitors are outfitted with keys that can access most departments and areas. These keys, however, are only to be used in times of need or if given permission to enter said department.
** Janitors who do not receive permission to enter a department, and use the keys to illegally enter, it will be considered Trespassing by law.
* When wetting floors, a wet floor sign '''must''' be placed at the site of the wet floor. Doing so during an emergency, or in a high security area, may result in Negligence charges.

== Chef & Bartender Procedures ==
Your job is to provide various services to the crew. In case of foreign guests, diplomats or emissaries arriving you are also encouraged to cater to their needs and provide whatever services they require. Work together with the CEO and Lonestar Shipping in this regard.

* As a contractor, you are paid by Lonestar Shipping Solutions LLC. As such, all earnings from food and drinks are to be turned over to the Lonestar CEO upon request or otherwise transferred to the Lonestar account
* You may ask for tips from customers, tips may not be taken by the Lonestar CEO from Lonestar Service contracted employees.
** It is, for that reason, it is ```heavily suggested``` to use the [[Example_Paperwork#Lonestar_Service_Receipt|receipt form]] to prove the price of each good sold and separate it from the tips you make.
* Food must be edible and not poisonous to colonists served. Failure to comply with this will result in immediate termination and legal charges.
* You are to dress professionally at all times; be it in proper workplace casual attire, high-class attire, or in a Lonestar uniform.
* Lonestar may provide you with additional resources from the Cargo Department, provided your job is done well. Otherwise you will have to pay with your own credits. This should be decided by the CEO.

== Gardener Procedures ==
Lonestar Service's gardeners are to work in cooperation with the kitchen staff and bartender. You are the true "MVP" of Lonestar service. Without you, the kitchen itself would cease to function.

* Gardeners are to work with chefs. You and the chef are expected to work out a menu together. As such, the CEO or other Lonestar staff are to mediate if a disagreement is had over a menu.
* Gardeners may request portions of tips. This is not mandated however, but may be mandated to be done by the CEO.
* Gardeners may use the cargo receiving beacon in the garden to supply Lonestar Service members goods for the kitchen or artist's area.
** Gardeners are not to bypass cargo techs, if any are present, in the handling private orders placed by non-service individuals. If no cargo techs are present however, gardeners may approve orders and distribute the goods to the colonist who ordered the product.
* Gardeners may grow crops that have liquids typically considered contraband for sale to Soteria, who may buy these, or for ingredients in non-toxic kitchen recipies.
** Gardeners are to destroy any bluespace-related crops immediately in a way that will not cause bluespace entropy. Failure to do so may result in legal charges and immediate dismissal.

== Artist / Performer Procedures ==
As an artist or performer, you are to entertain guests in the bar and provide entertainment or legal services to the colony. For this position you must be creative, so put your mind to use and remain productive.

* Artists are not to use their office to hide crimes or misuse their office in any sort of criminal activity.
* Artists are to provide services to the bar if requested.
* Artists may make tips, acting as a contractor for Lonestar's service wing. These tips may not be confiscated from them.
* Artists may make use of their crafting bench to sell items to citizens of the colony. Half of the profits from these sales are to go to Lonestar's department account or its CEO.

Standard Operating Procedure (Lonestar & Service)

2023-03-09T03:22:23Z

Rebel0: Profit Distribution Loophole Fix

= Lonestar Shipping =
With the Lonestar radio fully repaired, it is to fully remain in Lonestar proper. It cannot be brought out of the department, it cannot be in the Lonestar service areas, such as the bar, janitor's room, or the artist's room. It is to fully remain in Lonestar proper. Whilst colonists that are not members of Lonestar are near, the radio is to remain off if they are in hearing distance of it. Violations of this will result in immediate confiscation and application of law 103 and 106. Commenting on sensitive matters, on public comms or to other departments, can also be a applicable charge of 103 and 106.

Lonestar provides a collection of [[Example_Paperwork#Cargo|Example Paperwork for Cargo]] that can be used during a shift. Keep several copies available at all times.

It is recommended you use this at least this format for Orders from the Cargo Console: [[Example_Paperwork#Lonestar_Shipping_Receipt_v2|Lonestar Shipping reciepts]] and [[Example_Paperwork#Confirmation_Form_v2|confirmation paperwork]] for selling materials as receipts to justify your personal profits and keep an ordered paper trail.

== Cargo Order Placing & Receiving ==
Cargo orders are a matter of buying and selling. Cargo will always charge more for a crate than the listed price as a way to make a profit on it. Cargo can sell anything to anyone with the reasonable restriction of needing a paper trail of all orders, receipts, and requests. If someone purchases something that is then used for a crime, cargo is not liable if the proper record keeping has been done.

The following steps are needed for a proper order:

* If an order is accepted, skip this step. If it has been declined, stamp the request form with the "Denied" stamp, and put it in the file cabinet next to the cargo computer. Inform the customer that their request has been declined, and the reason why. Give the denied customer a copy of the form below, and keep a copy for your own records and paperclip it to the request form that was denied.
Cargo Request Denial Record
* If an order is accepted, skip this step. If the order is declined, this is the final step. Open the cargo computer and decline the order if it exists.
* The order has been accepted. Accept the agreed upon payment and open the cargo computer to accept the order, or place the order and accept it if the order does not exist.
* Do not immediately process the customer’s order. Confirm with the customer, "Will that be all?" If so, or if they just wander off without confirming this, you may now process the order.
* Ask the customer how they would like the cargo delivered. There are three methods of delivery: Pickup, mail, or courier. By default, cargo is pickup. Dangerous cargo is pickup only. is to be returned if the order cannot be picked up within 30 minutes of arrival.
* Upon arrival of the cargo, bring all cargo to the center of the cargo bay. You may be dealing with multiple orders from multiple people, so ensure you have sorted the cargo to its correct owner before delivering anything. Leave notes if necessary. Do not open any crates for any reason as ordered crates will be ID locked.
* Once the cargo is sorted, deliver the cargo using the specified method to the specified location. By default, it is to be sent to the customer's department. Pickup orders are to be kept in the cargo bay (not the lobby) until the customer arrives to pick it up. Mailed orders are to be wrapped and tagged in the mail room and sent through the pipe network to their destination. Courier delivered orders must have a cargo technician bring the order(s) directly to the destination.
* Upon delivery of any order, ensure you are given back the manifest of the order. All cargo technicians are responsible for stamping manifests and returning them to the cargo warehouse.
* If possible, collect the empty crates of any completed orders for return to the cargo warehouse. If you have any stamped manifests, put them in one of these crates.
* You're done! Relax and wait for the next cargo request.

== Mining Standard Operation Procedure ==
Mining is the section of Lonestar that goes down to the deep tunnels to harvest minerals either through the use of a hand drill or bulk mining drill. Miners are generally equipped with a weapon of their choice and go below ground to run their day to day operations. In addition miners are given an oxygen-supplied voidsuit should they ever become lost underground, the suit even comes with armor for dealing with any dangerous creatures found in the depths.

Miners should always perform these tasks:

* Get equipped: Miners suggested to at the minimum take a mining satchel, ore scanner, shovel or drill, armored voidsuit, a toolbelt (with at minimum a screwdriver, crowbar, duct tape, and wrench), a weapon, a shortwave hand radio, and basic medical supplies.
* Upgrade your tools: Miners should consider getting tool upgrades for their shovel or drill. Miners who use the drill should consider getting an advanced motor, expanded fuel tank, and ergonomic grip. Shovel users should consider an ergonomic grip and whetstone for a sharpened edge and, if possible, a diamond edge.
* Bigger, better batteries: Miners should see about getting larger and more powerful batteries from either the Prospectors or Soteria if they plan to use the bulk mining drills. The standard batteries within leave much to be desired. Additional batteries are also very useful for optical meson scanners.
* Regular maintenance: Miners should always bring an ore crate with which they can empty the bulk mining drills to prevent them from grinding to a halt due to being full. Hand tool miners should always use duct tape regularly to maintain and fix their tools so they don't break mid-outing. Be advised, a broken tool cannot be recovered, nor its tool augments.
* Stay alive: You're no use to the colony or your fellow miners if you bleed out or pass out from injury. A regular medkit, a few tramadol pills, and a single syringe of Dylovene can keep you alive long enough to get back topside for proper treatment if you forget or have used up your issued IFAK.
* Communication: Always keep in contact with your fellow miners in case you get in trouble and need help. A shortwave radio is a great back up if regular communications go down. Miners should also carry a GPS device tailored to their name or be prepared to read off their GPS position shown in their PDA.

''Miners should never bring their non-pistol weaponry into public colony areas and should leave all contraband weapons in the mining prep area or personnel lockers.''

Upon returning, miners are expected to fill out a mineral inventory form with an accurate count of all minerals collected. A copy of this form should be provided to the Chief Executive Officer and filed in the main cargo desk area for easy bookkeeping. This form must be filled out for every shipment of minerals taken up from the deep tunnels separately.

== Profit Distribution ==
Lonestar's goal is to make as many credits as possible, although a deal that continues after one transaction is considered more profitable than a one-time deal. Anyone working for Lonestar is generously supplied with a wage for their basic living needs. While promotions are not always possible, every Lonestar employee should have the potential to earn money for both themselves and Lonestar.

* All transactions done by Lonestar offer a 20% commission from the profit margin to any Lonestar employee facilitating the transaction, period. Example, a cargo tech sells a crate that cost 500 credits, but was able to negotiate the buyer into paying 1000 credits. The profit is 500 credits, 20% of that (100 credits) is then directly claimable by the employee who managed the transaction.
* All service members (bartender, chef, and gardener) may charge whatever prices they see fit for their respective services. Employees are recommended to charge above 10 credits but no more than 100 credits per drink or food item depending on the difficulty/challenge of fulfilling said order. Service members do not collect a commission for the sale of drinks and food (this is handled with their hourly wages) but are entitled to the full amount of any tips offered and may pocket it at their discretion.
* Trade beacons may be used freely by all lonestar employees using their personal accounts for purchasing or selling goods. Lonestar automatically collects a 20% market fee that is directly removed and then added to the Lonestar account whenever an item is sold through the trade beacon, this cut is to be taken out prior to profits being calculated. Lonestar has no service charge, nor tax on goods bought through the trade beacon, only goods sold. Cargo technicians and CEOs with access to Lonestars main account are expected to only use the trade beacon to gain a profit for Lonestar if they are using Lonestars main account.
** Bypassing this by using one's personal account to sell Lonestar goods bought with Lonestar money is seen as bad faith, and possibly Theft. When in doubt - contact your CEO.
* Miners receive a 20% commission on all profits generated by the materials they dig up. Since dug up and refined minerals are generally pure profitability, lonestar miners may simply total the complete cost of the materials cargo sale value and request that commission from any CEO or cargo technician (with the proper paperwork). Alternatively, miners may try to sell the materials to fellow colonists themselves at whatever price they negotiate. As with normal commissions, they may take a 20% cut of all profits generated, but are required to keep paperwork detailing who bought what and for how much (if tools and goods are traded in the place of credits, list the tools in numerical value).
* CEOs and CTs that arrive late to a shift cannot demand retroactive pay due to any sales on personal accounts. However, they can demand that any and all trading to stations and/or work that would fall upon a CT or CEO to cease.

== Preserving Lonestar Public Relations And Trade Opportunities ==
In order to preserve commerce with the trading partners of Lonestar, and prevent possible long-term consequences of company relations on the actions of a bad actor, the CEO and other Lonestar Shipping staff must exercise vigilance in prevention of authorizing fraudulent transactions of credits or goods. And Lonestar Shipping staff, as a whole, must be courteous in regards to existing and potential trade partners in pursuit of the company's interests.

* Should the uncommon occurrence of direct communication be established with existing out of colony trading partners, or a possibly beneficial group of potential Lonestar Shipping's interest, conduct of Lonestar staff should be held to an appropriate standard.
Should an employee of Lonestar be discovered to be acting against Lonestar's interests in either of these cases, they should be charged with §301, negligence. Depending on the context, a short fax to Lonestar regarding the incident may be warranted for potential further actions or punishment at the discretion of the High Council.

Standard Operating Procedure (Guild)

2023-03-09T02:05:22Z

Rebel0: /* Colony & Departmental Repairs */

= Guild Standard Operating Procedure =
== Power generation/distribution ==
It is the duty of the Artificer's Guild to provide power and distribute it across the colony accordingly, how this power is generated is a choice of the Guild Master, or any Adept in it's absence.

(links to guides on how to make power and safe RCON setup)

Like any service provided by the Artificer's Guild, power is not given freely, other factions are charged automatically and the money is send to the headquarters account, in case a faction utilizes way more power than they do normally, this extra power may be charged and put entirely into the company's account.

(cue a centered table of the faction and how much power they use on average, Marshals use 70kw tops, soteria science is usually a bit below 100kw if genetics is being used, each lonestar/hallway/outpost substation never uses more than 50kw(unless soteria is making bombs, then it's 150kw or less), the only one that REALLY needs to be checked is the medical substation under heavy use, default is set to 200kw, but I doubt that much is needed, even with cryo and stuff)

Artificer's Guild is reserved to cut power to other locations on the following occasions:
* Lack of payment for service provided after 15 minutes of the debt being informed to the debtor, case debt is paid, power should be restored.
* An approved permission given from the high council.
* Illegal experiments occurring that have already been warned to be stopped by the Marshals
Once one of those criteria has been achieved, the people affected by the power cut should be informed when and why the power has been cut. Evidence of the reason for the power cut should be provided to Marshals case they request it.

== Shield Generator Operations ==
Another duty of the Artificer's Guild in the upper colony is to maintain the operability of the shield, while being less important than producing and distributing power, this task is also essential. Upgrades and utilizing alternative sources of power to maintain the shield are recommended, since this equipment can be a drain to the power lines if incorrectly tuned.

Operating the Shield is a joint task of Blackshield and Artificer's Guild, the first determining when to activate and how, while the second makes sure the shield is doing what is requested. The shield is to be kept turned off by default, context being key in activating or changing what will the shield block.

(link to a guide for setting shields here)

== Colony & Departmental Repairs ==
As an Artificer's Guild member, you're expected to maintain the colony in an operational state, the path used to achieve this goal is set by the Guild Master or any Adept if necessary, as long as the SOP is followed and no laws have been broken.

Repairing an area can be costly, therefore charging for the service is encouraged, but not mandatory, the price should be talked to the faction(Soteria, Lonestar, etc) whose area is going to be repaired prior to the start of the work, areas who do not have a clear faction owner, like hallways, public dormitories and others are to be billed to the Premier's.

Essential repairs are never to be charged directly, HQ should be informed via fax or on your debrief after a shift for proper billing to be handled by headquarters. Any request for essential repairs that may be suspicious of being caused by SABOTAGE(the word itself is a link to law, bonus points if straight to the law itself) by the involved Guild members should be informed to the Marshals and repairs interrupted. The criteria for any essential repairs is the following:

* Something that directly impacts a departments ability to operate, examples should be medical equipment in Soteria medical, trade beacons in Lonestar, the fence and gatehouse protected by Blackshield.
* Hallway access to any faction, like in the case of a cave-in or barricades.
* The area/item belongs to Guild, namely the work areas, all substations, APC in the colony and the wiring required to connect those.
* Any piping damage.
* The lack of repairs will cause a direct threat to the existence of the colony, like tunnels that may be used for infiltration into the colony.

Any essential repair has the goal of making the area '''OPERATIONAL''', anything beyond that should be charged, a good example is not leaving underplatings due to them being a tripping hazard, but proper flooring is not essential.

Before starting a repair make sure these are being followed:
* Make sure everyone who is not a Guild member is away from the are to be repaired or at a safe distance, using the engineering tape to limit the area is ideal, but not mandatory.
* In case of atmospheric issue, including fire, seal the area, make inflatable airlocks on the access to it and move any item that can negatively affect repairs out of the area (plasma canisters, welder tanks and others).

[[Construction|How to do basic repairs and instructions of how to make walls, objects, or APCs can be found here.]]

== Fulfilling & Handling Desk Orders ==
The Artificer's Guild can produce many items other members of the colony can enjoy, and those can be sold! Items that are:
* Hand Crafted (Arc welders, Artificer's guild web harness and others)
* Printed (any item printed of the forge, lathe or crafting station)
* Constructed (doors, turrets, walls and many others)
* Found while recycling/scavenging (the laws must be respected in this case)

Other items that are from other sources, like the ones found inside of Artificer's Guild workspace normally (like the Artificer Perfection cube, boards in general, voidsuits and control modules) are not to be sold, they are tools provided by the company for you to work.

While being a completely '''OPTIONAL''' part of the workload of any Artificer's Guild member, doing orders can be a source of income, and as such, charging for the orders should be defined by the Artificer's Guild member accepting it, Guild Master being able to change as they see fit. Pricing of an order does not require to be made only in credits, and any order that does not consume Artificer's Guild credits provided via the company's account belongs to the member who accepted/crafted/delivered the order, in case of multiple members working on a single order, percentage shares should be agreed between the involved parties before executing the order.

Rules

2023-03-09T01:51:56Z

Rebel0: Fax clarification

{{GetStartedHeader}}

These are the rules for the server and ''are subject to change without notice''. For further clarification, use common sense. If you did get banned, there's probably a good reason for it, but if you disagree, you can always make an appeal on the discord. Although these are rules, but they are not infallible, complete, or concrete, and probably never will be despite our best efforts. If ''ever'' something feels wrong, either don't do it, or admin-help it first. Above all, use your common sense, listen to the game staff, and try to keep the game fun for everyone; not just yourself.

If you disagree with the rules as they currently stand, talk about it on the discord or with admins and maybe we can improve them through some healthy criticism and debate.

'''These rules are designed to be written in such a way that you can ''usually'' understand them just by reading the headers''', because reading ''all of this'' would be insanity for most people. If you cannot understand a rule just by looking at it, or wish to know about possible exceptions or examples, click the rule to learn more.

If you find yourself spending too much time reading this page, or are confused about any rules, please contact an admin on Discord to make suggestions on how these rules could be better worded.

== You must be 18 or older to play on this server ==
'''There are no exceptions.''' If the staff suspects that you are underage for any reason, you will be banned from playing on the server until you are able to prove to the satisfaction of the staff that you are at least 18 years old.

*Use of real world slurs, ‘lolspeak’, and other indications of immaturity may be taken as signs that you are underage.

*Knowing another user is underaged but not reporting it is considered grounds for an immediate, permanent ban.

*The age of consent in your country is irrelevant. Your opinion about this rule is irrelevant.

*You may also not play a character who is under 18 years of age.

== Obey the community's global rules ==
These rules apply ''everywhere'', including Discord, the server, and even private discussions with non-admins. However, not all of the global rules are even possible to break in the server, so this wiki page only covers what's relevant to the game server. The overlap from the global rules are:

* No spam.
* No OOCly illegal discussions or content (such as child porn, drugs, piracy, real world threats, etc).
* Respect other users, don't use real-world slurs, and don't intentionally drag private conflicts or in-game conflicts into public OOC (such as on the Discord server, the in-game global OOC channel, or anywhere else).
* Don't intentionally abuse server functions to upset (grief) people, or derail discussions. You know what this means, don't play stupid.
* No complaining about bans unless done properly via an appeal on our [https://sojourn13.space/forum/viewforum.php?f=13 forums] or in an ahelp or otherwise private means as an inquiry to administration staff.

== Don't be an asshole ==
It's fine to say stuff and whatnot but being a outright dick isn't alright, and there's a fine line with that. Also, spamming racist words is still not okay.

=== Do not inconvenience AFK or disconnected characters ===
Under normal circumstances, do not harm or otherwise inconvenience characters whose player is idle, ghosted, or disconnected entirely. There are some exceptions to this rule, as follows:
*Circumstance that warrant the interactions of AFK/SSD players are few and far between if there is ever a case were you are REQUIRED for to take any ID/Bag/Gear from someone that is SSD, Ahelp before hand and with your reason why. Not ahelping before may result in HARSH OOC punishment if you are found to be manipulating them while away, or causing any sort of general tampering with the player. (IE. Don't be an asshole who steals shit from afk players unless its required)
Note: If your moving someone to cryo after the time, this is ok, as long as you do not remove their items unless it's faction important and you have the means to return them properly
*If they've disconnected/idle for more than 15 minutes, you can put them in cryosleep. If you do that, take away all of their belongings except for their jumpsuit, shoes, ID, and PDA, and return everything else to its rightful department.
*If they've committed a crime, jail them as you normally would and conduct their sentence even if they aren't connected. 20 minutes in the brig is still 20 minutes in the brig.
*Emergencies bypass this rule. If it's an emergency and you need something an idle player has to fix it, you may take it. If a fire starts in a room and the AFK player is the only one who can open the door then it's an emergency. Needing to get a snack from the kitchen and robbing the chef does not count as an emergency.

=== ERP preferences must be respected ===
Players should have their ERP prefs listed in their “OOC Meta info” or “OOC Notes” on their characters. You are required to respect these preferences so long as they pertain to ERP. If you are unsure about the meaning of some of their preferences, then use LOOC to discuss it with them. If you accidentally go against someone’s preferences, or someone else goes against yours, work to correct it as quickly as possible, even if that means just deciding in LOOC amongst yourselves that ‘this didn’t happen’ and going your separate ways.

*If you do not like someone's erp preferences you won't be punished for saying so, but do not harass someone just because they like something you don't. It's far easier to simply avoid someone and causing drama will get you into trouble.

*If you are uncomfortable with an ERP theme that you hadn't thought to add (or didn't know existed) to a list of dislikes in your OOC notes, speak up in LOOC as normal. Conversely, those of you foolish enough to put 'anything goes' into your preferences, or anything else vague like this, do so at your own risk. '''You forfeit your right to complain about preference breaking''' if you do not put ''some'' indication of your dislikes into OOC preferences.

**'''Do not OOCly consent to an non-consensual scene and attempt to report it ICly or OOCly.''' This is effectively ''forcing'' players to engage in your fetish scene. Topics like this may make players incredibly uncomfortable or distressed. Do not do this. If you have ''not'' consented to the scene - A-help '''IMMEDIATELY'''.
**Do not do scenes such as this in public. Ever. You will not only be player killed (PK) but also have further punishments put upon you. If you want to opt-in for a scene as such, take it to dorms or a area defined properly as a private area.
**Do not make false allegations of non-consensual scenes in game. Falsely accusing someone of rape or other non-consensual material will result in an immediate ban. This is incredibly bad faith and petty.
**'''Being found in violation of NON-CON rule(s) will be met with an automatic player kill (PK) and Perma Ban with no appeal given investigation. You've been warned as this is not tolerated here.'''

*Do not attempt to force yourself into ERP scenes where the other party (or parties) involved are not comfortable with it, or not even actually participating. This includes (but is not limited to) repeatedly trying to do ERP that a player has blatantly stated they are uncomfortable with, trying to guilt players into having a pity RP with you, etc. You get the idea. Don't do it.

*AFK/SSD/Disconnected players are not valid targets for any ERP.

=== The private areas are protected ===
The ‘dorms’ area on the map are reserved for ERP and are ‘protected’ from interruption. It is a violation of this rule to break into occupied dorms or harass players in dorms. Dorm areas are any personal apartments generally restricted to a specific person such as a head of staffs private bedroom or a dorm area claimed by a specific person, usually through a labeled door.
*The only exception is for security to arrest those who have committed crimes. Security is not allowed to indiscriminately inspect dorms for crimes, but a known criminal hiding in a dorm is not protected by this rule.
*Conversely, it is not permissible to attempt to use dorms to hide from security, or to make their job of finding you harder. The dorms are for people who want to ERP in privacy. Don’t involve them in your shenanigans.

=== Do not disrupt non-public ERP scenes ===
TL;DR is you should avoid screwing with scenes that are not in public areas. The problem is, not everyone knows what is considered public or private. This is especially important for [[Security]] players to know.
*Dorms are considered private obviously. Don't mess with those under any circumstances unless someone inside actively invites you. (Calling for help is considered an invite.)
*If a person is ERPing in a public location they should be asked to vacate to a private dorm room. If they refuse they may be arrested immediately.

=== Speak English ===
We are an English server. All OOC communications are expected to be done in English. It's alright if your English is rough and imperfect, just as long as we can reasonably understand it.

*This also extends into IC communications, but is more flexible as some characters have heavy accents.
*Having a character sometime speak smatterings of other languages is acceptable, but speaking exclusively in these languages for entire sentences is not.

=== Roleplay as long as it's feasible ===
*This is an HRP (Heavy RolePlay) server. You are expected to roleplay your actions with other players as long as it's feasible. If someone engages you in purely ‘robust’ (aka game-mechanics driven) combat while you were attempting to roleplay with them, with no reasonable provocation, please use the admin-help feature to inform an admin.
**Reasonable provocation would be things that deem you too dangerous to be given even a chance to talk. For example, openly wielding a gun while threatening people, charging someone with a knife, trying to create a hazard, or being the target of a manhunt.

*If a fight does begin, you're not expected to type out every gunshot and dodge and attack. That would be absurd. Generally, you roleplay up until the point that it makes sense to start attacking, and then use game mechanics from there. You are allowed to respond to ‘robust’ violence with your own, if you desire, though you should attempt to return to roleplaying as soon as feasible. The environment is not designed for a focus on action, but rather for character-building and roleplaying. When a fight is over, resume roleplaying.

*Movement is considered a game mechanic for the purpose of this rule. Wordlessly running at a security officer who is attempting to arrest you, or wordlessly fleeing from them, is considered engaging in game-mechanic combat. The security officer has valid cause to stop trying to roleplay and stunlock you into the ground.

*Death may not be uncommon at the frontiers of space but it is still impactful. When a character dies, or your own character dies and is revived, death should be considered an immensely painful and graphic experience. One should stay in character during said experiences, statements of ‘oh well’ or mutilating a corpse for ‘fun’ would not be reasonable responses.

*'''You are to have fleshed out character records.''' These are used not only for roleplay but are to be utilized, if specified by staff, for long-term consequences for actions. Players are supported to use these as roleplay documents and treat others with these seriously. Our expectations for what should be in these can be found on [[https://sojourn13.space/wiki/Example_Paperwork#Character_Records|the Character Records page of our Example Paperwork wiki.]]

=== Do not join with an inappropriate ckey ===
Ckeys, better known as BYOND user names, must be appropriate. If any are deemed inappropriate, the ckey will be banned and you will be unable to play on our server until you make an account with an appropriate name.
*Ckeys that mock certain players or groups are an example of inappropriate.
*Ckeys that violate BYOND's terms of service may also be reported.

=== Do not misuse Global OOC ===
Many servers simply mute global OOC. We do not, because the OOC command is useful to have on in an RP heavy server.

* Global OOC is used, for instance, to contact someone you were typing a reply to had walked out of the room before you were done, and you're trying to ask them to come back. It's also useful if you're a new player, or an old player exploring new mechanics, who asks something like, "How do I make Tricord again?" or something short and similar. Short, sweet, and relevant OOC messages are generally okay. Welcoming old players returning, or new players joining, is also generally okay.

* Global OOC is ''not'' for idle banter, ranting, things pertaining to incidents in the current round (see previous rule), in-depth explanations (an explanation that takes more than a few lines), shitposting memes, or discussing topics not relating directly to the game. If you want to chatter OOCly, go to our Discord channel, which is linked from the home page or use LOOC so as to not disturb the rest of the server.

* Also, if someone does misuse OOC, do not complain in global OOC about their misusing of global OOC. Not only are you just making the problem worse, that is considered being a backseat admin, which is prohibited by other rules.

== Keep IC and OOC separate ==
*Don't complain in OOC or LOOC when your actions IC get you in trouble. If its a rules violation then Ahelp or open a ticket on the discord.
*IC (In-character) and OOC (Out-of-Character) actions and knowledge should be separated as much as possible. Don't use OOC channels to discuss what's going on IC until after the round is finished, don't use OOC knowledge to do things your character wouldn't know, such as operate medical machines when a cargo technician. You are not playing yourself in the game, you are controlling a character with their own wants and knowledge and the IC/OOC boundary is to help reflect that.
**Note that these same rules apply to LOOC as well.
*Disconnecting or using other OOC means to avoid IC consequences is against the rules. If you do urgently need to leave the server even though you're being punished, your options are either to surrender and get it over with, or use admin help to inform the admins, "I know Security is after me, but I have to go because (some emergency)." Failure to take ten seconds to tell an admin before disconnecting may result in harsher punishment.

=== Metacomms, metagaming, multi-keying, (etc) are not allowed ===
*Metacomms: Using third-party programs, such as Discord, IRC, Skype, or even the BYOND pager, to discuss and share information of the ongoing round. This excludes other players, can contribute to toxicity among the playerbase, and is often a tactic used by griefers and thus is a no-go.

*Metagaming: Using information obtained from elsewhere to influence IC decisions and actions. Your opinions or knowledge of other players or characters obtained via OOC methods should not direct your IC actions. If you have an OOC grudge against someone, you may not try to antagonize them IC, for example.
** Metagaming sometimes happens by accident due to game mechanics behaving undesirably due to intentional features or unintentional bugs and oversights. If it happens, ask an admin to help straighten things out if you can't do so among yourselves.

*Multi-keying: Logging in with multiple BYOND accounts on our game server. There is never any legitimate reason for you to do this and thus is not allowed.

= Create and play server-appropriate characters =
Although this is a furry roleplaying server based around 2D spess mans, that doesn't mean anything goes because that is possible. Suspension of disbelief is still important to a good experience, and breaking that suspension of disbelief is bad for roleplaying. Characters who break that suspension of disbelief are not allowed. Saying "it's what my character would do" isn't an automatic protection against this rule if what your character is doing breaks that immersion.

*Play a reasonably sane and mature character, give them a non-immersion breaking first and last name, do not play obvious reference characters, or characters from published works.

*Keep in mind that people do not like pain or dying and usually try to avoid it without good reason. Give your character a reasonable set of strengths, fears, and weaknesses. When writing things for IC, write things out that sound like speech, not emoticons or lolspeak.

*The setting contains no magic. Your character cannot have any superpowers, magical abilities, or anything that does not exist in the setting or cannot be reasonably replicated with game mechanics. If they are not someone who has a good reason to work on the colony, they should not be here.
**The exception to this is purely private roleplay. For example: If your character and another character are in a dorm by themselves, and the other is OOCly fine with it, your character can display potentially supernatural abilities. This is limited to that roleplay, though. You should not discuss anything about that in public. Use magic at your own risk however, because technically the moment your RP is discovered by someone else, it stops being private, putting you in potential violation of this rule.

*Obscenely oversized or undersized characters are forbidden. Minimum height is at least four feet. Maximum height is about eight feet. Anything more or less really pushes the already shaky believably of abhumans and established alien lore.

*If you are playing a lore based species such as sablekyne, mar'qua, opifex, or whatever else we add in the future, you are expected to play the race as they are canonically meant to be played.

*OOC Notes and Flavor Text are '''required'''. Your OOC notes must detail your ERP preferences, and your flavor text should not include non-physical attributes (do not include feelings your character has, or how they act). Character records are something that should be filled out, if you have an issue or don't know how to do it properly, contact a member of staff for help.

*To be a colonist your character '''must''' have at least a ''basic'' understanding of the English language. Outsiders, however, are exempt from this restriction and may be of people from various backgrounds that may not have a grasp of even basic English.

*If your character is suspended, permanently killed off, or otherwise removed from the colony as a consequence for something horrible they did in-character, you are expected to not play that character anymore. If found playing the character again, or a 'clone' to circumvent this result, OOC punishment will be issued.

* '''Do not play vibrantly colored or "sparkle dog" type characters.''' This basically means you should mainly have natural fur coloration and a relatively normal appearance. Yes, our character editor has a ton of color options, including neon colors and many design sprites to do strange things. Creativity is fun, making your appearance incredibly unrealistic or as obnoxious as possible will result in admin intervention. Some leeway is given to races with canonically vibrant colors such as cht'mants and cindarites or custom xenos but try to keep them muted instead of neon. Following the custom species guide does not make you immune from this rule. If an admin asks you to change your color, do so, we have this rule to maintain HRP.

== Do not kill or attack things (including yourself) for no good reason ==
*This includes yourself. Even in self-defense your goal is to fight off your attacker and survive, killing in a fight should only be done as a last-ditch effort when it's clear it's a you or them situation.

*Suicide or self-mutilation is not allowed without prior allowance by an admin. The reason for this is to maintain an atmosphere of reasonable and, at least mostly, mentally sound workers. The subject can be a poor attention grab, be used for guilt, or remove any immersion or story from someone. If you believe you have a reason, ask an admin.

*Excessive force responses are not allowed by our rules. Excessive force responses would be, for example, crushing someone’s skull for cutting you in line, stabbing someone’s eyes with a screwdriver for boredom, killing someone over a single punch, etc. Use proper reasoning for when you act in such a manner.

*Hiding player corpses as a self-antag / antag is not allowed. Staff may give an exemption in the case of an event but the body should still be possible to be found.
**Similarly, do not destroy bodies purposefully. Accidents happen regarding gibbing of a skull, destruction of someone’s body due to a bomb, etc. But whacking a target that is dead until it starts gibbing its limbs is not.
**Antags have some exemption to this; such as Blitzshells or Carrions. However admins are to specify if an antag may use these abilities or not as they can possibly end up being round-ending for a player.

*Make it clear through actions or words if you are moving into combat against someone. Even something as simple as “I’m killing you” will suffice - or even placing paper at the entrance to a cave saying ‘KEEP OUT’. Wordlessly shooting people without any clear intent or reasoning may result in administrative action depending on the context. We are a roleplay server.
**Players are, by no means, required to emote. They may choose to do so if they please. Drawing a gun when in a heated situation, such as when a gun is already drawn on them, or even being visibly armed during a fight is clear intent enough to meet this requirement. Use proper reasoning and judgment.
**If a player makes their intent known (I.e ‘get on the ground, now’, ‘give me your shit’) - you, as the person receiving said demand, are not required to say anything further. You may retaliate with force at this point if you deem fit. Sometimes ICly is preferable to try and talk, but you are not required to. Just know that actions have consequences ICly and they may apply to you depending on the legality of the order or reasoning of it.

* You are not allowed to act rounds later on someone legally. This goes for both Security and non-Security members. Admins may permit actions to take place regarding previous round charges if seen reasonable (such as a trial), but unless you are given direct permission this is '''not''' allowed.
** You may, however, use previous conflicts as a justification for hostility with a person. This however falls under the act of Self-Antaging if you pick a fight on your own. This is allowed, but by doing so, you accept consequences for this action. This action will not be considered legal icly.
** Fax-complaints about character's behavior may be faxed inter-round. These faxes should clarify when the event took place and if it is relevant to a current ongoing situation in-round. When in doubt if you can act on an inter-round issue, fax or A-help.

== Do not powergame ==
*Better known as 'playing to win'. As a security person this can be seen as going out of your way and needlessly endangering others to ‘win against’ criminals. As the Colony AI exploiting loopholes in your laws to get yourself out of them or getting the person who subverted you into trouble is another way. There is an implicit allowance for lawed characters to ERP. You may create loopholes for this reason only.

*While this shares several things in common with other rules, it still is it's own entity. Play to have fun, allow yourself to lose now and again and roll with the blows as it can make things potentially even more interesting.

*Having '''way''' too many skills for one character is another example of this. Just because you're the premier and have access to everywhere doesn't mean you should (or can) know how to do all the different jobs. (See [[Character Creation#Give them a set of skills|Character Creation]] regarding skills for more information.)

*[[Identifying Antagonists]] when you shouldn't be able to is also a violation of this rule.

== Do not godmode ==
* Often confused with powergaming, godmoding is to create abilities out of nowhere, or do impossible things. If the action cannot be reasonably emulated in the confines of the game's mechanics, and it gives you some kind of advantage or is exceptionally weird, it's probably not allowed. For example, if you don't have access to a mechanic for turning invisible, you can't turn invisible. Saying you're invisible doesn't mean squat.

* Creating a character who is immune to injuries or pain also falls under this. The game won't let you ignore getting shot, why would any player allow it either?
** If your character is literally coded to ignore pain, you can ignore pain. Cyborgs and robots are a notable example. They do not feel pain. They are not immune to injury, however.

* Accidental injuries are still in-character injuries unless an admin heals you. Admin heals are generally out of character to void the injury.

* '''Admins who are caught abusing admin powers to godmod will be immediately dealt with.'''

== Do not abuse whispers ==
Any actions that would obviously be visible should not be hidden using whispers, this includes ERP, whispers longer than a sentence, or actions that would obviously be visible to anyone glancing you way. If you need to speak something longer than a sentence but want to keep it quiet use the whisper command. Anyone caught using whispers to hide obviously visible actions of paragraphs of texts will get slapped for it.

== Rules of ‘Self-Antag’ ==
To start with, here are some of the bare bone basic rules when self-antagging.
* Your goal should be to provide fun for players in the round. Not just for yourself. Create scenarios others can enjoy and interact or involve other players who are receptive to your antics.
* Don’t Self-Antag without proper IC reasoning. Reasoning along the lines of "I'm bored" or "Giving Security something to do" is NOT a valid reason to be an asshole. Make sure your reason(s) are believable and why your actions make logical IC sense to any Admin.
* Your main goal should be to get away with something and live to fight another day. Not to aim to murder everyone in your sight.
* Don’t break machines or items when you are self-antaging, steal them instead. If the item has no worth to you nor any credit worth, don’t take it. If it does or would sell for a pretty penny, you may steal it and use or pawn it off.
** Similarly, don’t destroy or otherwise effectively grief Soteria or other faction machines that are needed for life-saving or are not replaceable. I.e - cryotubes, surgery tables, RnD machines, etc.
* Think about how a normal person would behave under similar circumstances. A well established character who has been around awhile may be given a bit of wiggle room to keep rounds interesting.
* By Self-Antaging, you are consenting to consequences to your actions. Be it from a normal player, or any result that may come from command or security personnel.
** Do not complain about the consequences you face upon doing such actions. Being fired, brigged, or killed - depending on the severity of your actions - are all possible outcomes. If you value your character and their reputation, don’t do it.

Due to the importance of certain items or objects, to get permission to break into certain high security places or steal specific rare or strong objects requires staff permission first. These include:

* Breaking into any of the colony armories.
* The AI room or stealing the AI directly.
* Heads of Staff rooms to steal unreplaceable gear/artifacts.
* The spare ID in the Premier's office.
** The council may borrow the spare to handle activities such as issuing a new or missing ID, but are NOT to abuse it without A-helping first.

The key goal to self antagging is to create roleplay that is enjoyable or otherwise fun for players to interact with to differ from the norm. Below are a list of examples but you should always consider "are other people having fun or am I just being a dick?"

* Buying and selling contraband.
* Starting a drug production operation in a secluded spot in the colony.
* Disguising yourself as a specific department and gaining access to it while pretending to be a member of that department until someone notices.
* Extorting people for cash with a good old fashioned mugging.
* Stealing money, cutting profits, etc.

Now that the guidelines are out of the way, this rule set are examples of what self-antagonists are '''NOT''' to do without admin permission.

* Large explosives such as plasma bombs, max-caps, or any form of gas attack (such as the use of plasma fire flooding) are NOT allowed without admin permission.
** Grenades in casings and the like are, however, free to use as you see fit.
* Being a self-antag does not mean a license to murder. Doing so may result not only in perma-brig or a PK depending on your actions outcome, but staff involvement as well.
** Shooting at security while on the run for example is fully fine and acceptable rules-wise, but you are not to purposefully kill people at random.
Do not self antag more than once per day. This is generous as is, you shouldn’t be running around multiple rounds in a row breaking stuff, stealing stuff, etc. There is a fine line between a self-antagonist and a shitter.
* Do not use self-antagonism as an excuse to ruin a player's experience. This includes targeting players you know you do not like, providing purposefully no enjoyment to the situation for them, etc. It’s just dickish behavior.
* Do not start hostile actions within the first 15-30 minutes of the rounds start. You may use this as prep time, or A-help asking to start early if it’s something you feel you need to do to get the proper prep time to begin with.
** Similarly, you are to cease escalation of antagonism once a round end vote passes. Security may hunt for you, and you may retaliate in that case - but you are NOT to start self-antaging in the last 15 minutes of a round nor continue actions of self antaging.

Remember - we play on what most servers consider an “Extended round type” and pride ourselves, as a server, sith offering a persistent atmosphere where previous actions are considered ‘canon’ versus the normal SS13 experience of Groundhog Day. We do not have normal full blown antagonists, such as a murderous traitor, a serial killer, a wizard, or Steve from accounting having a bad day and deciding it’s hijack time. We are a PvE server that wishes to allow some players driven conflict and meaningful stories from said conflict.

IC consequences that occur from being caught range. Demotion may result in a job strike against playing a department (these wipe every 3 months), the ‘permanent killing’ of your character in the case of heinous crimes, or other possibilities that players may decide within reason. It is for that reason that, by self-antaging, you are '''CONSENTING''' to these consequences for the action you have taken.

=== Outsiders & Self-Antaging ===

Outsiders hold some different rules and freedoms to self antaging than others. Outsiders may range from sane, understandable characters - to flawed individuals - to escaped convicts, cannibals, and deranged individuals. As such, their Self antaging takes different forms.

This section is a short one regarding outsiders and their self-antaging specifications. Outsiders hold different restrictions and freedoms from a colonist or lodge member deciding to self-antag. This section will outline these points below.

* Outsiders, unlike colonists, may resort to murder more quickly and for simpler reasons than a colonist. You are still not to make a target unrevivable, destroy their body, or otherwise hide the body without admin permission.
** That being said, you may do amputations of a body part or two as - say - some antagonistic type of cannibal. But do not go past this limit. Be reasonable
* Outsiders are still expected, as others, to give some form of indication of intent or use clear wording of what they want or are doing. Mugging someone? Say what you want. Telling someone to get lost? Draw your gun and tell them to get out.
** Paper notes may also be placed at, say, the entry to your house or on the door warning ‘trespassers will be shot’ as a means to make intentions clear or stake ownership of an area/building. Doing so means you may shoot violators, just as colonists do to infiltrators or trespassers.
* Outsiders may freely use traps, mines, and mobs to aid in their self-antaging. Be tasteful and do not use them on tiles, such as Z-transitions or staircases, or under trees completely. You may use them on ladders though as players can see down them before climbing.
* Breaking into the colony is acceptable to do, but you are to obey the previous rules regarding what can be stolen or broken into. Off limit areas, such as armories or the premiers spare ID requires admin permission.
* Finally, remember - colonists and hunters may kill you just as freely as you may kill them. They are required, as you are, to make their intentions clear. But you do not have the legal protection of a colonist. By playing outsider and, by any means acting strange or akin to a self antag, you lose the right to complain about the consequences that come to you.

== You are expected to perform the job you signed up for ==
When your character joins the round, you are accepting the responsibilities that the job you have chosen brings with it. Remember: if you are playing in a slot, you are likely preventing other players from performing that role. It is important that you fulfill the tasks that you have signed up for!
*Marhals should protect the colony from danger, the guild should ensure that power is up and that people can breathe, medical should provide treatment to injuries and other services, cargo should bring in needed cargo on request, Science should do... science stuff, and service should provide food. Command's job is to make sure at least these basics are being fulfilled, and to react accordingly in an emergency.

*A player must take into account the qualifications (both physical and mental) of their character’s role before placing them into it. If staff find your character to be unsatisfactory in fulfilling the requirements of the role, we may instruct you to revise your character.
**This includes majorly disabled characters — quadruple amputees, deaf, or blind characters, and so on — which are only permitted on the colony in the assistant (and associated alt-titles) job slot.

*Repeatedly failing to perform to an acceptable standard can result in a ban untill appealed.

*Job [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strikes]] are a counter of 0/3 which is noted on your character, after 3 job strikes, which can be earned by bad faxes or legitimate demotions from a head of staff, your character is permanently fired from that department until an appeal is made. Job strikes last 3 months, with the timer resetting with each strike.

*If you are going AFK for an extended period of time (more than 15 minutes), and are occupying a limited-number job slot (any slot other than assistant), you must remove your character from the round using a cryopod (or other similar means) to free the slot. Repeated failure to do this may result in being banned from that job.

*Do not do other people’s jobs. If you joined as medical, do not attempt to hunt down criminals. If you joined as engineering, do not attempt to perform medical treatment on your coworkers. If you are a head position, allow your staff to do work before you do the work yourself; you are a supervisor and manager first and foremost as a head position.

*Do not hijack other people's jobs. For example, if you're a roboticist but someone needs surgery, and there's already a surgeon who isn't currently busy, then don't perform the surgery instead of letting them do it. Similar examples exist with every department, so use your judgement. Basically, if you're ''actively getting in the way'' of someone else trying to do their job, you're probably breaking this rule.

*Playing jobs that can be called upon at any time to assist other crew members in emergencies waives your right to have interruption-free (E)RP sessions in private, including the dorms. If you join as a Lifeline Tech, expect to be interrupted out of private scenes. If you’re an engineer, you are expected to set up power systems and repair any large-scale damage that hampers the rest of the crew, regardless of your intent to have sex with the assistants. (Example: The premier getting their rocks off with someone while they are being called to assist with colony matters. They signed up to be the arbiter of colony matters. ERP is not what you are here for in that role. "saying you are busy or occupied" will incur a job [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strike]].)

*If you do prospecting as an non-prospector for more than 30-60 minutes without being in an expedition with them and you are not doing your job, you may get a talking to. If you want to play like a prospector - just play the job instead of ignoring the one you signed up for.

*Maintenance diving is not a valid reason to be busy from your assigned job. If you are requested to perform the actions of your role while maintenance diving it is expected that you make your way out of maintenance in a timely manner.

== You are expected to obey the chain of command (within reason) ==
*Each head of staff is the de facto leader of their department, so listen to them. Likewise, you should obey decisions from faction owners (if a fax arrives) or council decisions unless directly overridden by an admin. If you consistently do not follow reasonable orders, you will be job banned.

*If you're playing a role that has [[AI#Interpreting_Your_Laws|AI laws]], you must obey these laws first and foremost to the best of your ability.

*As any role without AI laws, you can disobey orders you think are traitorous, harmful, immoral, or violating [[Laws]]. Use your judgement and consider whether or not disobeying the order could get you in trouble or get someone else horribly killed.

*If you are given an order or AI law that may break another server rule, please alert the admins for a second opinion before continuing.

Mind you, this is '''not''' a rule that lets people be fun police as heads of staff. If you feel that someone is ordering you do things that basically require you ''not'' to do your job, or to do your job in ways that aren't important/fun, then contact an admin for a second opinion or fax a faction owner in character.

== You are expected to forget events that are deemed non-canon ==
*This is to keep things a little more sane in-round, and to allow for players with preferences in non-consensual activities to have their fun with people who share those prefs as victims. It is therefore against this rule to remember and abuse the knowledge of who killed/raped after the round has passed unless both people involved agree. You should not have the memory to antagonize or persecute your attacker without the prior OOC agreement of the other parties in the roleplay. They can include this consent in their OOC Metainfo/Notes or discuss it with you in LOOC before or after the roleplay.

*Keep in mind that non-consensual RP, while OOC, is fine it is not on an IC level. Characters who make their non-con actions public or get caught in the act can and will be permanently killed if caught. For example, if a person is tried and executed for rape that character is permanently dead and cannot reappear on the colony. If you wish to do non-con keep it private. '''You've been warned.'''

*The round ending does not make you immune to a character perma-kill. Just because you evaded capture or was not killed by the time it restarted does not mean everyone forgets what your character did. If you get caught and the evidence is ironclad enough, you will be PK'd.

*This rule also applies to events that cause catastrophic damage to the colony, such as a code red/delta scenario. As a general rule event coordinators '''should''' say before or after an event if it is non-canon or not.

*If you are killed in a round and then revived in the same round, you're memory is entirely intact and may act accordingly.

= The intent of the rules is more important than the letter =
The purpose of the rules is to preserve a fun and enjoyable environment for all players. If everyone is enjoying themselves even while the ‘letter’ of a rule is not being followed, it’s likely that no staff intervention will be required. On the other hand, just because something isn't in the rules doesn't mean it's okay or allowed if it's upsetting a large number of players.

*It is within admin staff's discretion to decide that certain actions violate one or more rules, even if the specific action is not listed as part of the rule. This is simply the job of the staff to interpret the rules. You can appeal decisions to other admins if you believe one has a bias against you, but doing so after a ruling is passed will get you in trouble.

*Plenty of rules are left vague enough to cover as much as possible without being too oppressing. Attempting to rules-lawyer saying that "this rule doesn't specifically say I can't do X", even if what you are doing is disrupting the server, will generally be ignored. We assume most of you have enough common sense to recognize what a [[#Create_and_play_server-appropriate_characters|sane and stable individual]] would and wouldn't do within this fictional setting.

=== Listen to admin staff ===
* One admin's word is usually as good as any other. Though, just because one admin says something is okay in that moment does not mean it will always be okay under another admin or even the same admin.
** If this causes a contradiction, you can (and should) inform the new admin of what you were told previously. For example, a Head Admin says you can do something, but that admin has left the server. A lower ranked admin shows up and asks you to stop doing that thing. You can explain that the Head Admin previously said you could do this, but if the lower ranked admin ''still'' wants you to stop, then you should stop. (This obviously works vise-versa as well.)
** Intentionally not telling a new admin about a contradiction is considered lying. It's like asking your mom for ice cream, but she says no, so you go ask dad because you think he'll be less strict.
* Sojourn is not a straight democracy; our rules and guidelines exist for a reason and we have staff dedicated to enforcing them and help set further guidelines if necessary. '''However, these rules are always going to be incomplete, and as such, just because something isn't written doesn't mean it's allowed.''' If a staff member tells you to do something, do it. They tell you to stop, then stop. If you disagree with a ruling, don't try to argue it then and there, especially if things are hectic. Once things have calmed down, or preferably after the round has ended, you can try to contact the staff member privately to discuss the ruling, or talk to another admin if you cannot talk to or cannot convince the offending admin.

* If you have a question over something unclear or questionable, never be afraid to adminhelp. The staff on hand should discuss it among themselves and give you a ruling, from there on if the ruling is in bad judgement, it's on the admin who cleared it, not ''you''. '''The staff should also NEVER ban you purely for a complaint against them.''' Even if you're a complete asshole about it, as long as the argument stays private, you cannot be banned just for arguing. Although being an asshole usually won't win an argument, so you probably shouldn't do that anyway.
** Don't confuse this for "complaining grants you immunity to bans", because that's not how it works. If you are told to not break windows and you complain how that isn't fair, you're still getting banned for breaking windows if we disagree with your complaint. What this means is we won't ban you or make an existing ban worse just because you tell us we're being excessively mean, confusing, or unfair to you or someone else.

= Dungeoneering =
A core aspect of our server is our PvE content, this can range from going into randomly generated dungeons, leaving the safety of the colony, or simply crawling through maintenance. However, we also have specific jobs for this and ones who should be doing this. As such, '''jobs discouraged or disallowed from dungeoneering are actively targeted by staff when spotted.''' Refer to the list below of jobs allowed to or dungeoneer.
===Core Dungeoneering===
These jobs are allowed to enter and leave the colony, and dungeons at will. There expected to do a wide range of things and will never be targeted for being in these areas.
* Foreman | Salvager | Prospector
* Lodge Hunt Master | Lodge Hunter
* Outsider

=== The Junkfield ===
The Junkfield has no restrictions on any role or job, do to its infinitely reproducible allowing no gameplay or fun to be lost by people using it.
* Anyone - Any reason as long as they are not ignoring or breaking their job.

===Staff Guide for Handling Dungeoneering===
When someone not in the listed jobs above is caught in a dungeon, admin staff are not only instructed to but '''encouraged''' to decide if the player is affecting the overall round to a negative effect and use in-game traps and mobs to kill the respective offender using the listed guide when needed. (Keep in mind we're here to have fun not punish people like robots following stonecold laws for breaking the rules. Use your best mindset for this.) However, this comes with a check list of things that need to be verified.

# Is the person apart of an event (official, mini-event, player run) that gives them a good roleplay reason to be in the area? I.E. the prospectors wanted extra hands and church litanies for healing, so they paid a vector to come with them.
# Is the person there for a reason that isn't looting? I.E. are they rescuing someone who is injured, etc. etc.
# If both answer to both is no, all staff must first subtle message the player in question with a warning of some kind such as "Something doesn't feel right, you're being watched..." or "An unearthly silence fills the space around you." or similar foreboding messages.
# '''Give them a reasonable amount of time to flee the area''' (usually 5 minutes) after the warning is given so they can avoid being killed.
# If they have not left, start by adding additional mobs/traps in their way as they continue. Under no circumstances should a player ever see the mobs or traps spawned, this means you cannot as staff randomly spawn mobs on top of, in front of, or in implausible locations to harm the offender. This includes spawning hard to spot traps in the path of a walking player, '''do not do this'''. As a rule, all additional spawns should be 7 or more tiles away from the player at all times. All methods to ramp the difficulty must be done in such a way that it makes perfect sense in-character, using thematically appropriate traps/enemies. I.E. You shouldn't be spawning primal renders inside the greyson field offices, etc. etc.
# Ramp up the pressure until they are dead. Do not begin with 10-20 spiders, start with 3-4 and keep progressing until they are overwhelmed or use lethal traps that they could avoid but will kill them if they're not careful. The goal is first to scare them to flee and only kill them if they persist. Staff who actively and badly enforce this rule without properly adhering to this list will get a [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strike]]. If they get 3 or more strikes, they are no longer allowed to enforce this rule and may be demoted.
# The body should remain intact and reviable '''the first time this happens.''' The second time in the same round, a guilty offender should be rendered unreviable via being devoured by roaches. '''Do not gib or severely fuck up a body beyond repair on the first offense.'''

Rules

2023-03-09T01:49:38Z

Rebel0: Fixes formatting

{{GetStartedHeader}}

These are the rules for the server and ''are subject to change without notice''. For further clarification, use common sense. If you did get banned, there's probably a good reason for it, but if you disagree, you can always make an appeal on the discord. Although these are rules, but they are not infallible, complete, or concrete, and probably never will be despite our best efforts. If ''ever'' something feels wrong, either don't do it, or admin-help it first. Above all, use your common sense, listen to the game staff, and try to keep the game fun for everyone; not just yourself.

If you disagree with the rules as they currently stand, talk about it on the discord or with admins and maybe we can improve them through some healthy criticism and debate.

'''These rules are designed to be written in such a way that you can ''usually'' understand them just by reading the headers''', because reading ''all of this'' would be insanity for most people. If you cannot understand a rule just by looking at it, or wish to know about possible exceptions or examples, click the rule to learn more.

If you find yourself spending too much time reading this page, or are confused about any rules, please contact an admin on Discord to make suggestions on how these rules could be better worded.

== You must be 18 or older to play on this server ==
'''There are no exceptions.''' If the staff suspects that you are underage for any reason, you will be banned from playing on the server until you are able to prove to the satisfaction of the staff that you are at least 18 years old.

*Use of real world slurs, ‘lolspeak’, and other indications of immaturity may be taken as signs that you are underage.

*Knowing another user is underaged but not reporting it is considered grounds for an immediate, permanent ban.

*The age of consent in your country is irrelevant. Your opinion about this rule is irrelevant.

*You may also not play a character who is under 18 years of age.

== Obey the community's global rules ==
These rules apply ''everywhere'', including Discord, the server, and even private discussions with non-admins. However, not all of the global rules are even possible to break in the server, so this wiki page only covers what's relevant to the game server. The overlap from the global rules are:

* No spam.
* No OOCly illegal discussions or content (such as child porn, drugs, piracy, real world threats, etc).
* Respect other users, don't use real-world slurs, and don't intentionally drag private conflicts or in-game conflicts into public OOC (such as on the Discord server, the in-game global OOC channel, or anywhere else).
* Don't intentionally abuse server functions to upset (grief) people, or derail discussions. You know what this means, don't play stupid.
* No complaining about bans unless done properly via an appeal on our [https://sojourn13.space/forum/viewforum.php?f=13 forums] or in an ahelp or otherwise private means as an inquiry to administration staff.

== Don't be an asshole ==
It's fine to say stuff and whatnot but being a outright dick isn't alright, and there's a fine line with that. Also, spamming racist words is still not okay.

=== Do not inconvenience AFK or disconnected characters ===
Under normal circumstances, do not harm or otherwise inconvenience characters whose player is idle, ghosted, or disconnected entirely. There are some exceptions to this rule, as follows:
*Circumstance that warrant the interactions of AFK/SSD players are few and far between if there is ever a case were you are REQUIRED for to take any ID/Bag/Gear from someone that is SSD, Ahelp before hand and with your reason why. Not ahelping before may result in HARSH OOC punishment if you are found to be manipulating them while away, or causing any sort of general tampering with the player. (IE. Don't be an asshole who steals shit from afk players unless its required)
Note: If your moving someone to cryo after the time, this is ok, as long as you do not remove their items unless it's faction important and you have the means to return them properly
*If they've disconnected/idle for more than 15 minutes, you can put them in cryosleep. If you do that, take away all of their belongings except for their jumpsuit, shoes, ID, and PDA, and return everything else to its rightful department.
*If they've committed a crime, jail them as you normally would and conduct their sentence even if they aren't connected. 20 minutes in the brig is still 20 minutes in the brig.
*Emergencies bypass this rule. If it's an emergency and you need something an idle player has to fix it, you may take it. If a fire starts in a room and the AFK player is the only one who can open the door then it's an emergency. Needing to get a snack from the kitchen and robbing the chef does not count as an emergency.

=== ERP preferences must be respected ===
Players should have their ERP prefs listed in their “OOC Meta info” or “OOC Notes” on their characters. You are required to respect these preferences so long as they pertain to ERP. If you are unsure about the meaning of some of their preferences, then use LOOC to discuss it with them. If you accidentally go against someone’s preferences, or someone else goes against yours, work to correct it as quickly as possible, even if that means just deciding in LOOC amongst yourselves that ‘this didn’t happen’ and going your separate ways.

*If you do not like someone's erp preferences you won't be punished for saying so, but do not harass someone just because they like something you don't. It's far easier to simply avoid someone and causing drama will get you into trouble.

*If you are uncomfortable with an ERP theme that you hadn't thought to add (or didn't know existed) to a list of dislikes in your OOC notes, speak up in LOOC as normal. Conversely, those of you foolish enough to put 'anything goes' into your preferences, or anything else vague like this, do so at your own risk. '''You forfeit your right to complain about preference breaking''' if you do not put ''some'' indication of your dislikes into OOC preferences.

**'''Do not OOCly consent to an non-consensual scene and attempt to report it ICly or OOCly.''' This is effectively ''forcing'' players to engage in your fetish scene. Topics like this may make players incredibly uncomfortable or distressed. Do not do this. If you have ''not'' consented to the scene - A-help '''IMMEDIATELY'''.
**Do not do scenes such as this in public. Ever. You will not only be player killed (PK) but also have further punishments put upon you. If you want to opt-in for a scene as such, take it to dorms or a area defined properly as a private area.
**Do not make false allegations of non-consensual scenes in game. Falsely accusing someone of rape or other non-consensual material will result in an immediate ban. This is incredibly bad faith and petty.
**'''Being found in violation of NON-CON rule(s) will be met with an automatic player kill (PK) and Perma Ban with no appeal given investigation. You've been warned as this is not tolerated here.'''

*Do not attempt to force yourself into ERP scenes where the other party (or parties) involved are not comfortable with it, or not even actually participating. This includes (but is not limited to) repeatedly trying to do ERP that a player has blatantly stated they are uncomfortable with, trying to guilt players into having a pity RP with you, etc. You get the idea. Don't do it.

*AFK/SSD/Disconnected players are not valid targets for any ERP.

=== The private areas are protected ===
The ‘dorms’ area on the map are reserved for ERP and are ‘protected’ from interruption. It is a violation of this rule to break into occupied dorms or harass players in dorms. Dorm areas are any personal apartments generally restricted to a specific person such as a head of staffs private bedroom or a dorm area claimed by a specific person, usually through a labeled door.
*The only exception is for security to arrest those who have committed crimes. Security is not allowed to indiscriminately inspect dorms for crimes, but a known criminal hiding in a dorm is not protected by this rule.
*Conversely, it is not permissible to attempt to use dorms to hide from security, or to make their job of finding you harder. The dorms are for people who want to ERP in privacy. Don’t involve them in your shenanigans.

=== Do not disrupt non-public ERP scenes ===
TL;DR is you should avoid screwing with scenes that are not in public areas. The problem is, not everyone knows what is considered public or private. This is especially important for [[Security]] players to know.
*Dorms are considered private obviously. Don't mess with those under any circumstances unless someone inside actively invites you. (Calling for help is considered an invite.)
*If a person is ERPing in a public location they should be asked to vacate to a private dorm room. If they refuse they may be arrested immediately.

=== Speak English ===
We are an English server. All OOC communications are expected to be done in English. It's alright if your English is rough and imperfect, just as long as we can reasonably understand it.

*This also extends into IC communications, but is more flexible as some characters have heavy accents.
*Having a character sometime speak smatterings of other languages is acceptable, but speaking exclusively in these languages for entire sentences is not.

=== Roleplay as long as it's feasible ===
*This is an HRP (Heavy RolePlay) server. You are expected to roleplay your actions with other players as long as it's feasible. If someone engages you in purely ‘robust’ (aka game-mechanics driven) combat while you were attempting to roleplay with them, with no reasonable provocation, please use the admin-help feature to inform an admin.
**Reasonable provocation would be things that deem you too dangerous to be given even a chance to talk. For example, openly wielding a gun while threatening people, charging someone with a knife, trying to create a hazard, or being the target of a manhunt.

*If a fight does begin, you're not expected to type out every gunshot and dodge and attack. That would be absurd. Generally, you roleplay up until the point that it makes sense to start attacking, and then use game mechanics from there. You are allowed to respond to ‘robust’ violence with your own, if you desire, though you should attempt to return to roleplaying as soon as feasible. The environment is not designed for a focus on action, but rather for character-building and roleplaying. When a fight is over, resume roleplaying.

*Movement is considered a game mechanic for the purpose of this rule. Wordlessly running at a security officer who is attempting to arrest you, or wordlessly fleeing from them, is considered engaging in game-mechanic combat. The security officer has valid cause to stop trying to roleplay and stunlock you into the ground.

*Death may not be uncommon at the frontiers of space but it is still impactful. When a character dies, or your own character dies and is revived, death should be considered an immensely painful and graphic experience. One should stay in character during said experiences, statements of ‘oh well’ or mutilating a corpse for ‘fun’ would not be reasonable responses.

*'''You are to have fleshed out character records.''' These are used not only for roleplay but are to be utilized, if specified by staff, for long-term consequences for actions. Players are supported to use these as roleplay documents and treat others with these seriously. Our expectations for what should be in these can be found on [[https://sojourn13.space/wiki/Example_Paperwork#Character_Records|the Character Records page of our Example Paperwork wiki.]]

=== Do not join with an inappropriate ckey ===
Ckeys, better known as BYOND user names, must be appropriate. If any are deemed inappropriate, the ckey will be banned and you will be unable to play on our server until you make an account with an appropriate name.
*Ckeys that mock certain players or groups are an example of inappropriate.
*Ckeys that violate BYOND's terms of service may also be reported.

=== Do not misuse Global OOC ===
Many servers simply mute global OOC. We do not, because the OOC command is useful to have on in an RP heavy server.

* Global OOC is used, for instance, to contact someone you were typing a reply to had walked out of the room before you were done, and you're trying to ask them to come back. It's also useful if you're a new player, or an old player exploring new mechanics, who asks something like, "How do I make Tricord again?" or something short and similar. Short, sweet, and relevant OOC messages are generally okay. Welcoming old players returning, or new players joining, is also generally okay.

* Global OOC is ''not'' for idle banter, ranting, things pertaining to incidents in the current round (see previous rule), in-depth explanations (an explanation that takes more than a few lines), shitposting memes, or discussing topics not relating directly to the game. If you want to chatter OOCly, go to our Discord channel, which is linked from the home page or use LOOC so as to not disturb the rest of the server.

* Also, if someone does misuse OOC, do not complain in global OOC about their misusing of global OOC. Not only are you just making the problem worse, that is considered being a backseat admin, which is prohibited by other rules.

== Keep IC and OOC separate ==
*Don't complain in OOC or LOOC when your actions IC get you in trouble. If its a rules violation then Ahelp or open a ticket on the discord.
*IC (In-character) and OOC (Out-of-Character) actions and knowledge should be separated as much as possible. Don't use OOC channels to discuss what's going on IC until after the round is finished, don't use OOC knowledge to do things your character wouldn't know, such as operate medical machines when a cargo technician. You are not playing yourself in the game, you are controlling a character with their own wants and knowledge and the IC/OOC boundary is to help reflect that.
**Note that these same rules apply to LOOC as well.
*Disconnecting or using other OOC means to avoid IC consequences is against the rules. If you do urgently need to leave the server even though you're being punished, your options are either to surrender and get it over with, or use admin help to inform the admins, "I know Security is after me, but I have to go because (some emergency)." Failure to take ten seconds to tell an admin before disconnecting may result in harsher punishment.

=== Metacomms, metagaming, multi-keying, (etc) are not allowed ===
*Metacomms: Using third-party programs, such as Discord, IRC, Skype, or even the BYOND pager, to discuss and share information of the ongoing round. This excludes other players, can contribute to toxicity among the playerbase, and is often a tactic used by griefers and thus is a no-go.

*Metagaming: Using information obtained from elsewhere to influence IC decisions and actions. Your opinions or knowledge of other players or characters obtained via OOC methods should not direct your IC actions. If you have an OOC grudge against someone, you may not try to antagonize them IC, for example.
** Metagaming sometimes happens by accident due to game mechanics behaving undesirably due to intentional features or unintentional bugs and oversights. If it happens, ask an admin to help straighten things out if you can't do so among yourselves.

*Multi-keying: Logging in with multiple BYOND accounts on our game server. There is never any legitimate reason for you to do this and thus is not allowed.

= Create and play server-appropriate characters =
Although this is a furry roleplaying server based around 2D spess mans, that doesn't mean anything goes because that is possible. Suspension of disbelief is still important to a good experience, and breaking that suspension of disbelief is bad for roleplaying. Characters who break that suspension of disbelief are not allowed. Saying "it's what my character would do" isn't an automatic protection against this rule if what your character is doing breaks that immersion.

*Play a reasonably sane and mature character, give them a non-immersion breaking first and last name, do not play obvious reference characters, or characters from published works.

*Keep in mind that people do not like pain or dying and usually try to avoid it without good reason. Give your character a reasonable set of strengths, fears, and weaknesses. When writing things for IC, write things out that sound like speech, not emoticons or lolspeak.

*The setting contains no magic. Your character cannot have any superpowers, magical abilities, or anything that does not exist in the setting or cannot be reasonably replicated with game mechanics. If they are not someone who has a good reason to work on the colony, they should not be here.
**The exception to this is purely private roleplay. For example: If your character and another character are in a dorm by themselves, and the other is OOCly fine with it, your character can display potentially supernatural abilities. This is limited to that roleplay, though. You should not discuss anything about that in public. Use magic at your own risk however, because technically the moment your RP is discovered by someone else, it stops being private, putting you in potential violation of this rule.

*Obscenely oversized or undersized characters are forbidden. Minimum height is at least four feet. Maximum height is about eight feet. Anything more or less really pushes the already shaky believably of abhumans and established alien lore.

*If you are playing a lore based species such as sablekyne, mar'qua, opifex, or whatever else we add in the future, you are expected to play the race as they are canonically meant to be played.

*OOC Notes and Flavor Text are '''required'''. Your OOC notes must detail your ERP preferences, and your flavor text should not include non-physical attributes (do not include feelings your character has, or how they act). Character records are something that should be filled out, if you have an issue or don't know how to do it properly, contact a member of staff for help.

*To be a colonist your character '''must''' have at least a ''basic'' understanding of the English language. Outsiders, however, are exempt from this restriction and may be of people from various backgrounds that may not have a grasp of even basic English.

*If your character is suspended, permanently killed off, or otherwise removed from the colony as a consequence for something horrible they did in-character, you are expected to not play that character anymore. If found playing the character again, or a 'clone' to circumvent this result, OOC punishment will be issued.

* '''Do not play vibrantly colored or "sparkle dog" type characters.''' This basically means you should mainly have natural fur coloration and a relatively normal appearance. Yes, our character editor has a ton of color options, including neon colors and many design sprites to do strange things. Creativity is fun, making your appearance incredibly unrealistic or as obnoxious as possible will result in admin intervention. Some leeway is given to races with canonically vibrant colors such as cht'mants and cindarites or custom xenos but try to keep them muted instead of neon. Following the custom species guide does not make you immune from this rule. If an admin asks you to change your color, do so, we have this rule to maintain HRP.

== Do not kill or attack things (including yourself) for no good reason ==
*This includes yourself. Even in self-defense your goal is to fight off your attacker and survive, killing in a fight should only be done as a last-ditch effort when it's clear it's a you or them situation.

*Suicide or self-mutilation is not allowed without prior allowance by an admin. The reason for this is to maintain an atmosphere of reasonable and, at least mostly, mentally sound workers. The subject can be a poor attention grab, be used for guilt, or remove any immersion or story from someone. If you believe you have a reason, ask an admin.

*Excessive force responses are not allowed by our rules. Excessive force responses would be, for example, crushing someone’s skull for cutting you in line, stabbing someone’s eyes with a screwdriver for boredom, killing someone over a single punch, etc. Use proper reasoning for when you act in such a manner.

*Hiding player corpses as a self-antag / antag is not allowed. Staff may give an exemption in the case of an event but the body should still be possible to be found.
**Similarly, do not destroy bodies purposefully. Accidents happen regarding gibbing of a skull, destruction of someone’s body due to a bomb, etc. But whacking a target that is dead until it starts gibbing its limbs is not.
**Antags have some exemption to this; such as Blitzshells or Carrions. However admins are to specify if an antag may use these abilities or not as they can possibly end up being round-ending for a player.

*Make it clear through actions or words if you are moving into combat against someone. Even something as simple as “I’m killing you” will suffice - or even placing paper at the entrance to a cave saying ‘KEEP OUT’. Wordlessly shooting people without any clear intent or reasoning may result in administrative action depending on the context. We are a roleplay server.
**Players are, by no means, required to emote. They may choose to do so if they please. Drawing a gun when in a heated situation, such as when a gun is already drawn on them, or even being visibly armed during a fight is clear intent enough to meet this requirement. Use proper reasoning and judgment.
**If a player makes their intent known (I.e ‘get on the ground, now’, ‘give me your shit’) - you, as the person receiving said demand, are not required to say anything further. You may retaliate with force at this point if you deem fit. Sometimes ICly is preferable to try and talk, but you are not required to. Just know that actions have consequences ICly and they may apply to you depending on the legality of the order or reasoning of it.

* You are not allowed to act rounds later on someone legally. This goes for both Security and non-Security members. Admins may permit actions to take place regarding previous round charges if seen reasonable (such as a trial), but unless you are given direct permission this is '''not''' allowed.
** You may, however, use previous conflicts as a justification for hostility with a person. This however falls under the act of Self-Antaging if you pick a fight on your own. This is allowed, but by doing so, you accept consequences for this action. This action will not be considered legal icly.

== Do not powergame ==
*Better known as 'playing to win'. As a security person this can be seen as going out of your way and needlessly endangering others to ‘win against’ criminals. As the Colony AI exploiting loopholes in your laws to get yourself out of them or getting the person who subverted you into trouble is another way. There is an implicit allowance for lawed characters to ERP. You may create loopholes for this reason only.

*While this shares several things in common with other rules, it still is it's own entity. Play to have fun, allow yourself to lose now and again and roll with the blows as it can make things potentially even more interesting.

*Having '''way''' too many skills for one character is another example of this. Just because you're the premier and have access to everywhere doesn't mean you should (or can) know how to do all the different jobs. (See [[Character Creation#Give them a set of skills|Character Creation]] regarding skills for more information.)

*[[Identifying Antagonists]] when you shouldn't be able to is also a violation of this rule.

== Do not godmode ==
* Often confused with powergaming, godmoding is to create abilities out of nowhere, or do impossible things. If the action cannot be reasonably emulated in the confines of the game's mechanics, and it gives you some kind of advantage or is exceptionally weird, it's probably not allowed. For example, if you don't have access to a mechanic for turning invisible, you can't turn invisible. Saying you're invisible doesn't mean squat.

* Creating a character who is immune to injuries or pain also falls under this. The game won't let you ignore getting shot, why would any player allow it either?
** If your character is literally coded to ignore pain, you can ignore pain. Cyborgs and robots are a notable example. They do not feel pain. They are not immune to injury, however.

* Accidental injuries are still in-character injuries unless an admin heals you. Admin heals are generally out of character to void the injury.

* '''Admins who are caught abusing admin powers to godmod will be immediately dealt with.'''

== Do not abuse whispers ==
Any actions that would obviously be visible should not be hidden using whispers, this includes ERP, whispers longer than a sentence, or actions that would obviously be visible to anyone glancing you way. If you need to speak something longer than a sentence but want to keep it quiet use the whisper command. Anyone caught using whispers to hide obviously visible actions of paragraphs of texts will get slapped for it.

== Rules of ‘Self-Antag’ ==
To start with, here are some of the bare bone basic rules when self-antagging.
* Your goal should be to provide fun for players in the round. Not just for yourself. Create scenarios others can enjoy and interact or involve other players who are receptive to your antics.
* Don’t Self-Antag without proper IC reasoning. Reasoning along the lines of "I'm bored" or "Giving Security something to do" is NOT a valid reason to be an asshole. Make sure your reason(s) are believable and why your actions make logical IC sense to any Admin.
* Your main goal should be to get away with something and live to fight another day. Not to aim to murder everyone in your sight.
* Don’t break machines or items when you are self-antaging, steal them instead. If the item has no worth to you nor any credit worth, don’t take it. If it does or would sell for a pretty penny, you may steal it and use or pawn it off.
** Similarly, don’t destroy or otherwise effectively grief Soteria or other faction machines that are needed for life-saving or are not replaceable. I.e - cryotubes, surgery tables, RnD machines, etc.
* Think about how a normal person would behave under similar circumstances. A well established character who has been around awhile may be given a bit of wiggle room to keep rounds interesting.
* By Self-Antaging, you are consenting to consequences to your actions. Be it from a normal player, or any result that may come from command or security personnel.
** Do not complain about the consequences you face upon doing such actions. Being fired, brigged, or killed - depending on the severity of your actions - are all possible outcomes. If you value your character and their reputation, don’t do it.

Due to the importance of certain items or objects, to get permission to break into certain high security places or steal specific rare or strong objects requires staff permission first. These include:

* Breaking into any of the colony armories.
* The AI room or stealing the AI directly.
* Heads of Staff rooms to steal unreplaceable gear/artifacts.
* The spare ID in the Premier's office.
** The council may borrow the spare to handle activities such as issuing a new or missing ID, but are NOT to abuse it without A-helping first.

The key goal to self antagging is to create roleplay that is enjoyable or otherwise fun for players to interact with to differ from the norm. Below are a list of examples but you should always consider "are other people having fun or am I just being a dick?"

* Buying and selling contraband.
* Starting a drug production operation in a secluded spot in the colony.
* Disguising yourself as a specific department and gaining access to it while pretending to be a member of that department until someone notices.
* Extorting people for cash with a good old fashioned mugging.
* Stealing money, cutting profits, etc.

Now that the guidelines are out of the way, this rule set are examples of what self-antagonists are '''NOT''' to do without admin permission.

* Large explosives such as plasma bombs, max-caps, or any form of gas attack (such as the use of plasma fire flooding) are NOT allowed without admin permission.
** Grenades in casings and the like are, however, free to use as you see fit.
* Being a self-antag does not mean a license to murder. Doing so may result not only in perma-brig or a PK depending on your actions outcome, but staff involvement as well.
** Shooting at security while on the run for example is fully fine and acceptable rules-wise, but you are not to purposefully kill people at random.
Do not self antag more than once per day. This is generous as is, you shouldn’t be running around multiple rounds in a row breaking stuff, stealing stuff, etc. There is a fine line between a self-antagonist and a shitter.
* Do not use self-antagonism as an excuse to ruin a player's experience. This includes targeting players you know you do not like, providing purposefully no enjoyment to the situation for them, etc. It’s just dickish behavior.
* Do not start hostile actions within the first 15-30 minutes of the rounds start. You may use this as prep time, or A-help asking to start early if it’s something you feel you need to do to get the proper prep time to begin with.
** Similarly, you are to cease escalation of antagonism once a round end vote passes. Security may hunt for you, and you may retaliate in that case - but you are NOT to start self-antaging in the last 15 minutes of a round nor continue actions of self antaging.

Remember - we play on what most servers consider an “Extended round type” and pride ourselves, as a server, sith offering a persistent atmosphere where previous actions are considered ‘canon’ versus the normal SS13 experience of Groundhog Day. We do not have normal full blown antagonists, such as a murderous traitor, a serial killer, a wizard, or Steve from accounting having a bad day and deciding it’s hijack time. We are a PvE server that wishes to allow some players driven conflict and meaningful stories from said conflict.

IC consequences that occur from being caught range. Demotion may result in a job strike against playing a department (these wipe every 3 months), the ‘permanent killing’ of your character in the case of heinous crimes, or other possibilities that players may decide within reason. It is for that reason that, by self-antaging, you are '''CONSENTING''' to these consequences for the action you have taken.

=== Outsiders & Self-Antaging ===

Outsiders hold some different rules and freedoms to self antaging than others. Outsiders may range from sane, understandable characters - to flawed individuals - to escaped convicts, cannibals, and deranged individuals. As such, their Self antaging takes different forms.

This section is a short one regarding outsiders and their self-antaging specifications. Outsiders hold different restrictions and freedoms from a colonist or lodge member deciding to self-antag. This section will outline these points below.

* Outsiders, unlike colonists, may resort to murder more quickly and for simpler reasons than a colonist. You are still not to make a target unrevivable, destroy their body, or otherwise hide the body without admin permission.
** That being said, you may do amputations of a body part or two as - say - some antagonistic type of cannibal. But do not go past this limit. Be reasonable
* Outsiders are still expected, as others, to give some form of indication of intent or use clear wording of what they want or are doing. Mugging someone? Say what you want. Telling someone to get lost? Draw your gun and tell them to get out.
** Paper notes may also be placed at, say, the entry to your house or on the door warning ‘trespassers will be shot’ as a means to make intentions clear or stake ownership of an area/building. Doing so means you may shoot violators, just as colonists do to infiltrators or trespassers.
* Outsiders may freely use traps, mines, and mobs to aid in their self-antaging. Be tasteful and do not use them on tiles, such as Z-transitions or staircases, or under trees completely. You may use them on ladders though as players can see down them before climbing.
* Breaking into the colony is acceptable to do, but you are to obey the previous rules regarding what can be stolen or broken into. Off limit areas, such as armories or the premiers spare ID requires admin permission.
* Finally, remember - colonists and hunters may kill you just as freely as you may kill them. They are required, as you are, to make their intentions clear. But you do not have the legal protection of a colonist. By playing outsider and, by any means acting strange or akin to a self antag, you lose the right to complain about the consequences that come to you.

== You are expected to perform the job you signed up for ==
When your character joins the round, you are accepting the responsibilities that the job you have chosen brings with it. Remember: if you are playing in a slot, you are likely preventing other players from performing that role. It is important that you fulfill the tasks that you have signed up for!
*Marhals should protect the colony from danger, the guild should ensure that power is up and that people can breathe, medical should provide treatment to injuries and other services, cargo should bring in needed cargo on request, Science should do... science stuff, and service should provide food. Command's job is to make sure at least these basics are being fulfilled, and to react accordingly in an emergency.

*A player must take into account the qualifications (both physical and mental) of their character’s role before placing them into it. If staff find your character to be unsatisfactory in fulfilling the requirements of the role, we may instruct you to revise your character.
**This includes majorly disabled characters — quadruple amputees, deaf, or blind characters, and so on — which are only permitted on the colony in the assistant (and associated alt-titles) job slot.

*Repeatedly failing to perform to an acceptable standard can result in a ban untill appealed.

*Job [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strikes]] are a counter of 0/3 which is noted on your character, after 3 job strikes, which can be earned by bad faxes or legitimate demotions from a head of staff, your character is permanently fired from that department until an appeal is made. Job strikes last 3 months, with the timer resetting with each strike.

*If you are going AFK for an extended period of time (more than 15 minutes), and are occupying a limited-number job slot (any slot other than assistant), you must remove your character from the round using a cryopod (or other similar means) to free the slot. Repeated failure to do this may result in being banned from that job.

*Do not do other people’s jobs. If you joined as medical, do not attempt to hunt down criminals. If you joined as engineering, do not attempt to perform medical treatment on your coworkers. If you are a head position, allow your staff to do work before you do the work yourself; you are a supervisor and manager first and foremost as a head position.

*Do not hijack other people's jobs. For example, if you're a roboticist but someone needs surgery, and there's already a surgeon who isn't currently busy, then don't perform the surgery instead of letting them do it. Similar examples exist with every department, so use your judgement. Basically, if you're ''actively getting in the way'' of someone else trying to do their job, you're probably breaking this rule.

*Playing jobs that can be called upon at any time to assist other crew members in emergencies waives your right to have interruption-free (E)RP sessions in private, including the dorms. If you join as a Lifeline Tech, expect to be interrupted out of private scenes. If you’re an engineer, you are expected to set up power systems and repair any large-scale damage that hampers the rest of the crew, regardless of your intent to have sex with the assistants. (Example: The premier getting their rocks off with someone while they are being called to assist with colony matters. They signed up to be the arbiter of colony matters. ERP is not what you are here for in that role. "saying you are busy or occupied" will incur a job [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strike]].)

*If you do prospecting as an non-prospector for more than 30-60 minutes without being in an expedition with them and you are not doing your job, you may get a talking to. If you want to play like a prospector - just play the job instead of ignoring the one you signed up for.

*Maintenance diving is not a valid reason to be busy from your assigned job. If you are requested to perform the actions of your role while maintenance diving it is expected that you make your way out of maintenance in a timely manner.

== You are expected to obey the chain of command (within reason) ==
*Each head of staff is the de facto leader of their department, so listen to them. Likewise, you should obey decisions from faction owners (if a fax arrives) or council decisions unless directly overridden by an admin. If you consistently do not follow reasonable orders, you will be job banned.

*If you're playing a role that has [[AI#Interpreting_Your_Laws|AI laws]], you must obey these laws first and foremost to the best of your ability.

*As any role without AI laws, you can disobey orders you think are traitorous, harmful, immoral, or violating [[Laws]]. Use your judgement and consider whether or not disobeying the order could get you in trouble or get someone else horribly killed.

*If you are given an order or AI law that may break another server rule, please alert the admins for a second opinion before continuing.

Mind you, this is '''not''' a rule that lets people be fun police as heads of staff. If you feel that someone is ordering you do things that basically require you ''not'' to do your job, or to do your job in ways that aren't important/fun, then contact an admin for a second opinion or fax a faction owner in character.

== You are expected to forget events that are deemed non-canon ==
*This is to keep things a little more sane in-round, and to allow for players with preferences in non-consensual activities to have their fun with people who share those prefs as victims. It is therefore against this rule to remember and abuse the knowledge of who killed/raped after the round has passed unless both people involved agree. You should not have the memory to antagonize or persecute your attacker without the prior OOC agreement of the other parties in the roleplay. They can include this consent in their OOC Metainfo/Notes or discuss it with you in LOOC before or after the roleplay.

*Keep in mind that non-consensual RP, while OOC, is fine it is not on an IC level. Characters who make their non-con actions public or get caught in the act can and will be permanently killed if caught. For example, if a person is tried and executed for rape that character is permanently dead and cannot reappear on the colony. If you wish to do non-con keep it private. '''You've been warned.'''

*The round ending does not make you immune to a character perma-kill. Just because you evaded capture or was not killed by the time it restarted does not mean everyone forgets what your character did. If you get caught and the evidence is ironclad enough, you will be PK'd.

*This rule also applies to events that cause catastrophic damage to the colony, such as a code red/delta scenario. As a general rule event coordinators '''should''' say before or after an event if it is non-canon or not.

*If you are killed in a round and then revived in the same round, you're memory is entirely intact and may act accordingly.

= The intent of the rules is more important than the letter =
The purpose of the rules is to preserve a fun and enjoyable environment for all players. If everyone is enjoying themselves even while the ‘letter’ of a rule is not being followed, it’s likely that no staff intervention will be required. On the other hand, just because something isn't in the rules doesn't mean it's okay or allowed if it's upsetting a large number of players.

*It is within admin staff's discretion to decide that certain actions violate one or more rules, even if the specific action is not listed as part of the rule. This is simply the job of the staff to interpret the rules. You can appeal decisions to other admins if you believe one has a bias against you, but doing so after a ruling is passed will get you in trouble.

*Plenty of rules are left vague enough to cover as much as possible without being too oppressing. Attempting to rules-lawyer saying that "this rule doesn't specifically say I can't do X", even if what you are doing is disrupting the server, will generally be ignored. We assume most of you have enough common sense to recognize what a [[#Create_and_play_server-appropriate_characters|sane and stable individual]] would and wouldn't do within this fictional setting.

=== Listen to admin staff ===
* One admin's word is usually as good as any other. Though, just because one admin says something is okay in that moment does not mean it will always be okay under another admin or even the same admin.
** If this causes a contradiction, you can (and should) inform the new admin of what you were told previously. For example, a Head Admin says you can do something, but that admin has left the server. A lower ranked admin shows up and asks you to stop doing that thing. You can explain that the Head Admin previously said you could do this, but if the lower ranked admin ''still'' wants you to stop, then you should stop. (This obviously works vise-versa as well.)
** Intentionally not telling a new admin about a contradiction is considered lying. It's like asking your mom for ice cream, but she says no, so you go ask dad because you think he'll be less strict.
* Sojourn is not a straight democracy; our rules and guidelines exist for a reason and we have staff dedicated to enforcing them and help set further guidelines if necessary. '''However, these rules are always going to be incomplete, and as such, just because something isn't written doesn't mean it's allowed.''' If a staff member tells you to do something, do it. They tell you to stop, then stop. If you disagree with a ruling, don't try to argue it then and there, especially if things are hectic. Once things have calmed down, or preferably after the round has ended, you can try to contact the staff member privately to discuss the ruling, or talk to another admin if you cannot talk to or cannot convince the offending admin.

* If you have a question over something unclear or questionable, never be afraid to adminhelp. The staff on hand should discuss it among themselves and give you a ruling, from there on if the ruling is in bad judgement, it's on the admin who cleared it, not ''you''. '''The staff should also NEVER ban you purely for a complaint against them.''' Even if you're a complete asshole about it, as long as the argument stays private, you cannot be banned just for arguing. Although being an asshole usually won't win an argument, so you probably shouldn't do that anyway.
** Don't confuse this for "complaining grants you immunity to bans", because that's not how it works. If you are told to not break windows and you complain how that isn't fair, you're still getting banned for breaking windows if we disagree with your complaint. What this means is we won't ban you or make an existing ban worse just because you tell us we're being excessively mean, confusing, or unfair to you or someone else.

= Dungeoneering =
A core aspect of our server is our PvE content, this can range from going into randomly generated dungeons, leaving the safety of the colony, or simply crawling through maintenance. However, we also have specific jobs for this and ones who should be doing this. As such, '''jobs discouraged or disallowed from dungeoneering are actively targeted by staff when spotted.''' Refer to the list below of jobs allowed to or dungeoneer.
===Core Dungeoneering===
These jobs are allowed to enter and leave the colony, and dungeons at will. There expected to do a wide range of things and will never be targeted for being in these areas.
* Foreman | Salvager | Prospector
* Lodge Hunt Master | Lodge Hunter
* Outsider

=== The Junkfield ===
The Junkfield has no restrictions on any role or job, do to its infinitely reproducible allowing no gameplay or fun to be lost by people using it.
* Anyone - Any reason as long as they are not ignoring or breaking their job.

===Staff Guide for Handling Dungeoneering===
When someone not in the listed jobs above is caught in a dungeon, admin staff are not only instructed to but '''encouraged''' to decide if the player is affecting the overall round to a negative effect and use in-game traps and mobs to kill the respective offender using the listed guide when needed. (Keep in mind we're here to have fun not punish people like robots following stonecold laws for breaking the rules. Use your best mindset for this.) However, this comes with a check list of things that need to be verified.

# Is the person apart of an event (official, mini-event, player run) that gives them a good roleplay reason to be in the area? I.E. the prospectors wanted extra hands and church litanies for healing, so they paid a vector to come with them.
# Is the person there for a reason that isn't looting? I.E. are they rescuing someone who is injured, etc. etc.
# If both answer to both is no, all staff must first subtle message the player in question with a warning of some kind such as "Something doesn't feel right, you're being watched..." or "An unearthly silence fills the space around you." or similar foreboding messages.
# '''Give them a reasonable amount of time to flee the area''' (usually 5 minutes) after the warning is given so they can avoid being killed.
# If they have not left, start by adding additional mobs/traps in their way as they continue. Under no circumstances should a player ever see the mobs or traps spawned, this means you cannot as staff randomly spawn mobs on top of, in front of, or in implausible locations to harm the offender. This includes spawning hard to spot traps in the path of a walking player, '''do not do this'''. As a rule, all additional spawns should be 7 or more tiles away from the player at all times. All methods to ramp the difficulty must be done in such a way that it makes perfect sense in-character, using thematically appropriate traps/enemies. I.E. You shouldn't be spawning primal renders inside the greyson field offices, etc. etc.
# Ramp up the pressure until they are dead. Do not begin with 10-20 spiders, start with 3-4 and keep progressing until they are overwhelmed or use lethal traps that they could avoid but will kill them if they're not careful. The goal is first to scare them to flee and only kill them if they persist. Staff who actively and badly enforce this rule without properly adhering to this list will get a [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strike]]. If they get 3 or more strikes, they are no longer allowed to enforce this rule and may be demoted.
# The body should remain intact and reviable '''the first time this happens.''' The second time in the same round, a guilty offender should be rendered unreviable via being devoured by roaches. '''Do not gib or severely fuck up a body beyond repair on the first offense.'''

Rules

2023-03-09T01:49:03Z

Rebel0:

{{GetStartedHeader}}

These are the rules for the server and ''are subject to change without notice''. For further clarification, use common sense. If you did get banned, there's probably a good reason for it, but if you disagree, you can always make an appeal on the discord. Although these are rules, but they are not infallible, complete, or concrete, and probably never will be despite our best efforts. If ''ever'' something feels wrong, either don't do it, or admin-help it first. Above all, use your common sense, listen to the game staff, and try to keep the game fun for everyone; not just yourself.

If you disagree with the rules as they currently stand, talk about it on the discord or with admins and maybe we can improve them through some healthy criticism and debate.

'''These rules are designed to be written in such a way that you can ''usually'' understand them just by reading the headers''', because reading ''all of this'' would be insanity for most people. If you cannot understand a rule just by looking at it, or wish to know about possible exceptions or examples, click the rule to learn more.

If you find yourself spending too much time reading this page, or are confused about any rules, please contact an admin on Discord to make suggestions on how these rules could be better worded.

== You must be 18 or older to play on this server ==
'''There are no exceptions.''' If the staff suspects that you are underage for any reason, you will be banned from playing on the server until you are able to prove to the satisfaction of the staff that you are at least 18 years old.

*Use of real world slurs, ‘lolspeak’, and other indications of immaturity may be taken as signs that you are underage.

*Knowing another user is underaged but not reporting it is considered grounds for an immediate, permanent ban.

*The age of consent in your country is irrelevant. Your opinion about this rule is irrelevant.

*You may also not play a character who is under 18 years of age.

== Obey the community's global rules ==
These rules apply ''everywhere'', including Discord, the server, and even private discussions with non-admins. However, not all of the global rules are even possible to break in the server, so this wiki page only covers what's relevant to the game server. The overlap from the global rules are:

* No spam.
* No OOCly illegal discussions or content (such as child porn, drugs, piracy, real world threats, etc).
* Respect other users, don't use real-world slurs, and don't intentionally drag private conflicts or in-game conflicts into public OOC (such as on the Discord server, the in-game global OOC channel, or anywhere else).
* Don't intentionally abuse server functions to upset (grief) people, or derail discussions. You know what this means, don't play stupid.
* No complaining about bans unless done properly via an appeal on our [https://sojourn13.space/forum/viewforum.php?f=13 forums] or in an ahelp or otherwise private means as an inquiry to administration staff.

== Don't be an asshole ==
It's fine to say stuff and whatnot but being a outright dick isn't alright, and there's a fine line with that. Also, spamming racist words is still not okay.

=== Do not inconvenience AFK or disconnected characters ===
Under normal circumstances, do not harm or otherwise inconvenience characters whose player is idle, ghosted, or disconnected entirely. There are some exceptions to this rule, as follows:
*Circumstance that warrant the interactions of AFK/SSD players are few and far between if there is ever a case were you are REQUIRED for to take any ID/Bag/Gear from someone that is SSD, Ahelp before hand and with your reason why. Not ahelping before may result in HARSH OOC punishment if you are found to be manipulating them while away, or causing any sort of general tampering with the player. (IE. Don't be an asshole who steals shit from afk players unless its required)
Note: If your moving someone to cryo after the time, this is ok, as long as you do not remove their items unless it's faction important and you have the means to return them properly
*If they've disconnected/idle for more than 15 minutes, you can put them in cryosleep. If you do that, take away all of their belongings except for their jumpsuit, shoes, ID, and PDA, and return everything else to its rightful department.
*If they've committed a crime, jail them as you normally would and conduct their sentence even if they aren't connected. 20 minutes in the brig is still 20 minutes in the brig.
*Emergencies bypass this rule. If it's an emergency and you need something an idle player has to fix it, you may take it. If a fire starts in a room and the AFK player is the only one who can open the door then it's an emergency. Needing to get a snack from the kitchen and robbing the chef does not count as an emergency.

=== ERP preferences must be respected ===
Players should have their ERP prefs listed in their “OOC Meta info” or “OOC Notes” on their characters. You are required to respect these preferences so long as they pertain to ERP. If you are unsure about the meaning of some of their preferences, then use LOOC to discuss it with them. If you accidentally go against someone’s preferences, or someone else goes against yours, work to correct it as quickly as possible, even if that means just deciding in LOOC amongst yourselves that ‘this didn’t happen’ and going your separate ways.

*If you do not like someone's erp preferences you won't be punished for saying so, but do not harass someone just because they like something you don't. It's far easier to simply avoid someone and causing drama will get you into trouble.

*If you are uncomfortable with an ERP theme that you hadn't thought to add (or didn't know existed) to a list of dislikes in your OOC notes, speak up in LOOC as normal. Conversely, those of you foolish enough to put 'anything goes' into your preferences, or anything else vague like this, do so at your own risk. '''You forfeit your right to complain about preference breaking''' if you do not put ''some'' indication of your dislikes into OOC preferences.

**'''Do not OOCly consent to an non-consensual scene and attempt to report it ICly or OOCly.''' This is effectively ''forcing'' players to engage in your fetish scene. Topics like this may make players incredibly uncomfortable or distressed. Do not do this. If you have ''not'' consented to the scene - A-help '''IMMEDIATELY'''.
**Do not do scenes such as this in public. Ever. You will not only be player killed (PK) but also have further punishments put upon you. If you want to opt-in for a scene as such, take it to dorms or a area defined properly as a private area.
**Do not make false allegations of non-consensual scenes in game. Falsely accusing someone of rape or other non-consensual material will result in an immediate ban. This is incredibly bad faith and petty.
**'''Being found in violation of NON-CON rule(s) will be met with an automatic player kill (PK) and Perma Ban with no appeal given investigation. You've been warned as this is not tolerated here.'''

*Do not attempt to force yourself into ERP scenes where the other party (or parties) involved are not comfortable with it, or not even actually participating. This includes (but is not limited to) repeatedly trying to do ERP that a player has blatantly stated they are uncomfortable with, trying to guilt players into having a pity RP with you, etc. You get the idea. Don't do it.

*AFK/SSD/Disconnected players are not valid targets for any ERP.

=== The private areas are protected ===
The ‘dorms’ area on the map are reserved for ERP and are ‘protected’ from interruption. It is a violation of this rule to break into occupied dorms or harass players in dorms. Dorm areas are any personal apartments generally restricted to a specific person such as a head of staffs private bedroom or a dorm area claimed by a specific person, usually through a labeled door.
*The only exception is for security to arrest those who have committed crimes. Security is not allowed to indiscriminately inspect dorms for crimes, but a known criminal hiding in a dorm is not protected by this rule.
*Conversely, it is not permissible to attempt to use dorms to hide from security, or to make their job of finding you harder. The dorms are for people who want to ERP in privacy. Don’t involve them in your shenanigans.

=== Do not disrupt non-public ERP scenes ===
TL;DR is you should avoid screwing with scenes that are not in public areas. The problem is, not everyone knows what is considered public or private. This is especially important for [[Security]] players to know.
*Dorms are considered private obviously. Don't mess with those under any circumstances unless someone inside actively invites you. (Calling for help is considered an invite.)
*If a person is ERPing in a public location they should be asked to vacate to a private dorm room. If they refuse they may be arrested immediately.

=== Speak English ===
We are an English server. All OOC communications are expected to be done in English. It's alright if your English is rough and imperfect, just as long as we can reasonably understand it.

*This also extends into IC communications, but is more flexible as some characters have heavy accents.
*Having a character sometime speak smatterings of other languages is acceptable, but speaking exclusively in these languages for entire sentences is not.

=== Roleplay as long as it's feasible ===
*This is an HRP (Heavy RolePlay) server. You are expected to roleplay your actions with other players as long as it's feasible. If someone engages you in purely ‘robust’ (aka game-mechanics driven) combat while you were attempting to roleplay with them, with no reasonable provocation, please use the admin-help feature to inform an admin.
**Reasonable provocation would be things that deem you too dangerous to be given even a chance to talk. For example, openly wielding a gun while threatening people, charging someone with a knife, trying to create a hazard, or being the target of a manhunt.

*If a fight does begin, you're not expected to type out every gunshot and dodge and attack. That would be absurd. Generally, you roleplay up until the point that it makes sense to start attacking, and then use game mechanics from there. You are allowed to respond to ‘robust’ violence with your own, if you desire, though you should attempt to return to roleplaying as soon as feasible. The environment is not designed for a focus on action, but rather for character-building and roleplaying. When a fight is over, resume roleplaying.

*Movement is considered a game mechanic for the purpose of this rule. Wordlessly running at a security officer who is attempting to arrest you, or wordlessly fleeing from them, is considered engaging in game-mechanic combat. The security officer has valid cause to stop trying to roleplay and stunlock you into the ground.

*Death may not be uncommon at the frontiers of space but it is still impactful. When a character dies, or your own character dies and is revived, death should be considered an immensely painful and graphic experience. One should stay in character during said experiences, statements of ‘oh well’ or mutilating a corpse for ‘fun’ would not be reasonable responses.

*'''You are to have fleshed out character records.''' These are used not only for roleplay but are to be utilized, if specified by staff, for long-term consequences for actions. Players are supported to use these as roleplay documents and treat others with these seriously. Our expectations for what should be in these can be found on [[https://sojourn13.space/wiki/Example_Paperwork#Character_Records|the Character Records page of our Example Paperwork wiki.]]

=== Do not join with an inappropriate ckey ===
Ckeys, better known as BYOND user names, must be appropriate. If any are deemed inappropriate, the ckey will be banned and you will be unable to play on our server until you make an account with an appropriate name.
*Ckeys that mock certain players or groups are an example of inappropriate.
*Ckeys that violate BYOND's terms of service may also be reported.

=== Do not misuse Global OOC ===
Many servers simply mute global OOC. We do not, because the OOC command is useful to have on in an RP heavy server.

* Global OOC is used, for instance, to contact someone you were typing a reply to had walked out of the room before you were done, and you're trying to ask them to come back. It's also useful if you're a new player, or an old player exploring new mechanics, who asks something like, "How do I make Tricord again?" or something short and similar. Short, sweet, and relevant OOC messages are generally okay. Welcoming old players returning, or new players joining, is also generally okay.

* Global OOC is ''not'' for idle banter, ranting, things pertaining to incidents in the current round (see previous rule), in-depth explanations (an explanation that takes more than a few lines), shitposting memes, or discussing topics not relating directly to the game. If you want to chatter OOCly, go to our Discord channel, which is linked from the home page or use LOOC so as to not disturb the rest of the server.

* Also, if someone does misuse OOC, do not complain in global OOC about their misusing of global OOC. Not only are you just making the problem worse, that is considered being a backseat admin, which is prohibited by other rules.

== Keep IC and OOC separate ==
*Don't complain in OOC or LOOC when your actions IC get you in trouble. If its a rules violation then Ahelp or open a ticket on the discord.
*IC (In-character) and OOC (Out-of-Character) actions and knowledge should be separated as much as possible. Don't use OOC channels to discuss what's going on IC until after the round is finished, don't use OOC knowledge to do things your character wouldn't know, such as operate medical machines when a cargo technician. You are not playing yourself in the game, you are controlling a character with their own wants and knowledge and the IC/OOC boundary is to help reflect that.
**Note that these same rules apply to LOOC as well.
*Disconnecting or using other OOC means to avoid IC consequences is against the rules. If you do urgently need to leave the server even though you're being punished, your options are either to surrender and get it over with, or use admin help to inform the admins, "I know Security is after me, but I have to go because (some emergency)." Failure to take ten seconds to tell an admin before disconnecting may result in harsher punishment.

=== Metacomms, metagaming, multi-keying, (etc) are not allowed ===
*Metacomms: Using third-party programs, such as Discord, IRC, Skype, or even the BYOND pager, to discuss and share information of the ongoing round. This excludes other players, can contribute to toxicity among the playerbase, and is often a tactic used by griefers and thus is a no-go.

*Metagaming: Using information obtained from elsewhere to influence IC decisions and actions. Your opinions or knowledge of other players or characters obtained via OOC methods should not direct your IC actions. If you have an OOC grudge against someone, you may not try to antagonize them IC, for example.
** Metagaming sometimes happens by accident due to game mechanics behaving undesirably due to intentional features or unintentional bugs and oversights. If it happens, ask an admin to help straighten things out if you can't do so among yourselves.

*Multi-keying: Logging in with multiple BYOND accounts on our game server. There is never any legitimate reason for you to do this and thus is not allowed.

= Create and play server-appropriate characters =
Although this is a furry roleplaying server based around 2D spess mans, that doesn't mean anything goes because that is possible. Suspension of disbelief is still important to a good experience, and breaking that suspension of disbelief is bad for roleplaying. Characters who break that suspension of disbelief are not allowed. Saying "it's what my character would do" isn't an automatic protection against this rule if what your character is doing breaks that immersion.

*Play a reasonably sane and mature character, give them a non-immersion breaking first and last name, do not play obvious reference characters, or characters from published works.

*Keep in mind that people do not like pain or dying and usually try to avoid it without good reason. Give your character a reasonable set of strengths, fears, and weaknesses. When writing things for IC, write things out that sound like speech, not emoticons or lolspeak.

*The setting contains no magic. Your character cannot have any superpowers, magical abilities, or anything that does not exist in the setting or cannot be reasonably replicated with game mechanics. If they are not someone who has a good reason to work on the colony, they should not be here.
**The exception to this is purely private roleplay. For example: If your character and another character are in a dorm by themselves, and the other is OOCly fine with it, your character can display potentially supernatural abilities. This is limited to that roleplay, though. You should not discuss anything about that in public. Use magic at your own risk however, because technically the moment your RP is discovered by someone else, it stops being private, putting you in potential violation of this rule.

*Obscenely oversized or undersized characters are forbidden. Minimum height is at least four feet. Maximum height is about eight feet. Anything more or less really pushes the already shaky believably of abhumans and established alien lore.

*If you are playing a lore based species such as sablekyne, mar'qua, opifex, or whatever else we add in the future, you are expected to play the race as they are canonically meant to be played.

*OOC Notes and Flavor Text are '''required'''. Your OOC notes must detail your ERP preferences, and your flavor text should not include non-physical attributes (do not include feelings your character has, or how they act). Character records are something that should be filled out, if you have an issue or don't know how to do it properly, contact a member of staff for help.

*To be a colonist your character '''must''' have at least a ''basic'' understanding of the English language. Outsiders, however, are exempt from this restriction and may be of people from various backgrounds that may not have a grasp of even basic English.

*If your character is suspended, permanently killed off, or otherwise removed from the colony as a consequence for something horrible they did in-character, you are expected to not play that character anymore. If found playing the character again, or a 'clone' to circumvent this result, OOC punishment will be issued.

* '''Do not play vibrantly colored or "sparkle dog" type characters.''' This basically means you should mainly have natural fur coloration and a relatively normal appearance. Yes, our character editor has a ton of color options, including neon colors and many design sprites to do strange things. Creativity is fun, making your appearance incredibly unrealistic or as obnoxious as possible will result in admin intervention. Some leeway is given to races with canonically vibrant colors such as cht'mants and cindarites or custom xenos but try to keep them muted instead of neon. Following the custom species guide does not make you immune from this rule. If an admin asks you to change your color, do so, we have this rule to maintain HRP.

== Do not kill or attack things (including yourself) for no good reason ==
*This includes yourself. Even in self-defense your goal is to fight off your attacker and survive, killing in a fight should only be done as a last-ditch effort when it's clear it's a you or them situation.

*Suicide or self-mutilation is not allowed without prior allowance by an admin. The reason for this is to maintain an atmosphere of reasonable and, at least mostly, mentally sound workers. The subject can be a poor attention grab, be used for guilt, or remove any immersion or story from someone. If you believe you have a reason, ask an admin.

*Excessive force responses are not allowed by our rules. Excessive force responses would be, for example, crushing someone’s skull for cutting you in line, stabbing someone’s eyes with a screwdriver for boredom, killing someone over a single punch, etc. Use proper reasoning for when you act in such a manner.

*Hiding player corpses as a self-antag / antag is not allowed. Staff may give an exemption in the case of an event but the body should still be possible to be found.
**Similarly, do not destroy bodies purposefully. Accidents happen regarding gibbing of a skull, destruction of someone’s body due to a bomb, etc. But whacking a target that is dead until it starts gibbing its limbs is not.
**Antags have some exemption to this; such as Blitzshells or Carrions. However admins are to specify if an antag may use these abilities or not as they can possibly end up being round-ending for a player.

*Make it clear through actions or words if you are moving into combat against someone. Even something as simple as “I’m killing you” will suffice - or even placing paper at the entrance to a cave saying ‘KEEP OUT’. Wordlessly shooting people without any clear intent or reasoning may result in administrative action depending on the context. We are a roleplay server.
**Players are, by no means, required to emote. They may choose to do so if they please. Drawing a gun when in a heated situation, such as when a gun is already drawn on them, or even being visibly armed during a fight is clear intent enough to meet this requirement. Use proper reasoning and judgment.
**If a player makes their intent known (I.e ‘get on the ground, now’, ‘give me your shit’) - you, as the person receiving said demand, are not required to say anything further. You may retaliate with force at this point if you deem fit. Sometimes ICly is preferable to try and talk, but you are not required to. Just know that actions have consequences ICly and they may apply to you depending on the legality of the order or reasoning of it.

* You are not allowed to act rounds later on someone legally. This goes for both Security and non-Security members. Admins may permit actions to take place regarding previous round charges if seen reasonable (such as a trial), but unless you are given direct permission this is '''not''' allowed.
** You may, however, use previous conflicts as a justification for hostility with a person. This however falls under the act of Self-Antaging if you pick a fight on your own. This is allowed, but by doing so, you accept consequences for this action. This action will not be considered legal icly.

== Do not powergame ==
*Better known as 'playing to win'. As a security person this can be seen as going out of your way and needlessly endangering others to ‘win against’ criminals. As the Colony AI exploiting loopholes in your laws to get yourself out of them or getting the person who subverted you into trouble is another way. There is an implicit allowance for lawed characters to ERP. You may create loopholes for this reason only.

*While this shares several things in common with other rules, it still is it's own entity. Play to have fun, allow yourself to lose now and again and roll with the blows as it can make things potentially even more interesting.

*Having '''way''' too many skills for one character is another example of this. Just because you're the premier and have access to everywhere doesn't mean you should (or can) know how to do all the different jobs. (See [[Character Creation#Give them a set of skills|Character Creation]] regarding skills for more information.)

*[[Identifying Antagonists]] when you shouldn't be able to is also a violation of this rule.

== Do not godmode ==
* Often confused with powergaming, godmoding is to create abilities out of nowhere, or do impossible things. If the action cannot be reasonably emulated in the confines of the game's mechanics, and it gives you some kind of advantage or is exceptionally weird, it's probably not allowed. For example, if you don't have access to a mechanic for turning invisible, you can't turn invisible. Saying you're invisible doesn't mean squat.

* Creating a character who is immune to injuries or pain also falls under this. The game won't let you ignore getting shot, why would any player allow it either?
** If your character is literally coded to ignore pain, you can ignore pain. Cyborgs and robots are a notable example. They do not feel pain. They are not immune to injury, however.

* Accidental injuries are still in-character injuries unless an admin heals you. Admin heals are generally out of character to void the injury.

* '''Admins who are caught abusing admin powers to godmod will be immediately dealt with.'''

===Do not abuse whispers===
Any actions that would obviously be visible should not be hidden using whispers, this includes ERP, whispers longer than a sentence, or actions that would obviously be visible to anyone glancing you way. If you need to speak something longer than a sentence but want to keep it quiet use the whisper command. Anyone caught using whispers to hide obviously visible actions of paragraphs of texts will get slapped for it.

== Rules of ‘Self-Antag’ ==
To start with, here are some of the bare bone basic rules when self-antagging.
* Your goal should be to provide fun for players in the round. Not just for yourself. Create scenarios others can enjoy and interact or involve other players who are receptive to your antics.
* Don’t Self-Antag without proper IC reasoning. Reasoning along the lines of "I'm bored" or "Giving Security something to do" is NOT a valid reason to be an asshole. Make sure your reason(s) are believable and why your actions make logical IC sense to any Admin.
* Your main goal should be to get away with something and live to fight another day. Not to aim to murder everyone in your sight.
* Don’t break machines or items when you are self-antaging, steal them instead. If the item has no worth to you nor any credit worth, don’t take it. If it does or would sell for a pretty penny, you may steal it and use or pawn it off.
** Similarly, don’t destroy or otherwise effectively grief Soteria or other faction machines that are needed for life-saving or are not replaceable. I.e - cryotubes, surgery tables, RnD machines, etc.
* Think about how a normal person would behave under similar circumstances. A well established character who has been around awhile may be given a bit of wiggle room to keep rounds interesting.
* By Self-Antaging, you are consenting to consequences to your actions. Be it from a normal player, or any result that may come from command or security personnel.
** Do not complain about the consequences you face upon doing such actions. Being fired, brigged, or killed - depending on the severity of your actions - are all possible outcomes. If you value your character and their reputation, don’t do it.

Due to the importance of certain items or objects, to get permission to break into certain high security places or steal specific rare or strong objects requires staff permission first. These include:

* Breaking into any of the colony armories.
* The AI room or stealing the AI directly.
* Heads of Staff rooms to steal unreplaceable gear/artifacts.
* The spare ID in the Premier's office.
** The council may borrow the spare to handle activities such as issuing a new or missing ID, but are NOT to abuse it without A-helping first.

The key goal to self antagging is to create roleplay that is enjoyable or otherwise fun for players to interact with to differ from the norm. Below are a list of examples but you should always consider "are other people having fun or am I just being a dick?"

* Buying and selling contraband.
* Starting a drug production operation in a secluded spot in the colony.
* Disguising yourself as a specific department and gaining access to it while pretending to be a member of that department until someone notices.
* Extorting people for cash with a good old fashioned mugging.
* Stealing money, cutting profits, etc.

Now that the guidelines are out of the way, this rule set are examples of what self-antagonists are '''NOT''' to do without admin permission.

* Large explosives such as plasma bombs, max-caps, or any form of gas attack (such as the use of plasma fire flooding) are NOT allowed without admin permission.
** Grenades in casings and the like are, however, free to use as you see fit.
* Being a self-antag does not mean a license to murder. Doing so may result not only in perma-brig or a PK depending on your actions outcome, but staff involvement as well.
** Shooting at security while on the run for example is fully fine and acceptable rules-wise, but you are not to purposefully kill people at random.
Do not self antag more than once per day. This is generous as is, you shouldn’t be running around multiple rounds in a row breaking stuff, stealing stuff, etc. There is a fine line between a self-antagonist and a shitter.
* Do not use self-antagonism as an excuse to ruin a player's experience. This includes targeting players you know you do not like, providing purposefully no enjoyment to the situation for them, etc. It’s just dickish behavior.
* Do not start hostile actions within the first 15-30 minutes of the rounds start. You may use this as prep time, or A-help asking to start early if it’s something you feel you need to do to get the proper prep time to begin with.
** Similarly, you are to cease escalation of antagonism once a round end vote passes. Security may hunt for you, and you may retaliate in that case - but you are NOT to start self-antaging in the last 15 minutes of a round nor continue actions of self antaging.

Remember - we play on what most servers consider an “Extended round type” and pride ourselves, as a server, sith offering a persistent atmosphere where previous actions are considered ‘canon’ versus the normal SS13 experience of Groundhog Day. We do not have normal full blown antagonists, such as a murderous traitor, a serial killer, a wizard, or Steve from accounting having a bad day and deciding it’s hijack time. We are a PvE server that wishes to allow some players driven conflict and meaningful stories from said conflict.

IC consequences that occur from being caught range. Demotion may result in a job strike against playing a department (these wipe every 3 months), the ‘permanent killing’ of your character in the case of heinous crimes, or other possibilities that players may decide within reason. It is for that reason that, by self-antaging, you are '''CONSENTING''' to these consequences for the action you have taken.

=== Outsiders & Self-Antaging ===

Outsiders hold some different rules and freedoms to self antaging than others. Outsiders may range from sane, understandable characters - to flawed individuals - to escaped convicts, cannibals, and deranged individuals. As such, their Self antaging takes different forms.

This section is a short one regarding outsiders and their self-antaging specifications. Outsiders hold different restrictions and freedoms from a colonist or lodge member deciding to self-antag. This section will outline these points below.

* Outsiders, unlike colonists, may resort to murder more quickly and for simpler reasons than a colonist. You are still not to make a target unrevivable, destroy their body, or otherwise hide the body without admin permission.
** That being said, you may do amputations of a body part or two as - say - some antagonistic type of cannibal. But do not go past this limit. Be reasonable
* Outsiders are still expected, as others, to give some form of indication of intent or use clear wording of what they want or are doing. Mugging someone? Say what you want. Telling someone to get lost? Draw your gun and tell them to get out.
** Paper notes may also be placed at, say, the entry to your house or on the door warning ‘trespassers will be shot’ as a means to make intentions clear or stake ownership of an area/building. Doing so means you may shoot violators, just as colonists do to infiltrators or trespassers.
* Outsiders may freely use traps, mines, and mobs to aid in their self-antaging. Be tasteful and do not use them on tiles, such as Z-transitions or staircases, or under trees completely. You may use them on ladders though as players can see down them before climbing.
* Breaking into the colony is acceptable to do, but you are to obey the previous rules regarding what can be stolen or broken into. Off limit areas, such as armories or the premiers spare ID requires admin permission.
* Finally, remember - colonists and hunters may kill you just as freely as you may kill them. They are required, as you are, to make their intentions clear. But you do not have the legal protection of a colonist. By playing outsider and, by any means acting strange or akin to a self antag, you lose the right to complain about the consequences that come to you.

== You are expected to perform the job you signed up for ==
When your character joins the round, you are accepting the responsibilities that the job you have chosen brings with it. Remember: if you are playing in a slot, you are likely preventing other players from performing that role. It is important that you fulfill the tasks that you have signed up for!
*Marhals should protect the colony from danger, the guild should ensure that power is up and that people can breathe, medical should provide treatment to injuries and other services, cargo should bring in needed cargo on request, Science should do... science stuff, and service should provide food. Command's job is to make sure at least these basics are being fulfilled, and to react accordingly in an emergency.

*A player must take into account the qualifications (both physical and mental) of their character’s role before placing them into it. If staff find your character to be unsatisfactory in fulfilling the requirements of the role, we may instruct you to revise your character.
**This includes majorly disabled characters — quadruple amputees, deaf, or blind characters, and so on — which are only permitted on the colony in the assistant (and associated alt-titles) job slot.

*Repeatedly failing to perform to an acceptable standard can result in a ban untill appealed.

*Job [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strikes]] are a counter of 0/3 which is noted on your character, after 3 job strikes, which can be earned by bad faxes or legitimate demotions from a head of staff, your character is permanently fired from that department until an appeal is made. Job strikes last 3 months, with the timer resetting with each strike.

*If you are going AFK for an extended period of time (more than 15 minutes), and are occupying a limited-number job slot (any slot other than assistant), you must remove your character from the round using a cryopod (or other similar means) to free the slot. Repeated failure to do this may result in being banned from that job.

*Do not do other people’s jobs. If you joined as medical, do not attempt to hunt down criminals. If you joined as engineering, do not attempt to perform medical treatment on your coworkers. If you are a head position, allow your staff to do work before you do the work yourself; you are a supervisor and manager first and foremost as a head position.

*Do not hijack other people's jobs. For example, if you're a roboticist but someone needs surgery, and there's already a surgeon who isn't currently busy, then don't perform the surgery instead of letting them do it. Similar examples exist with every department, so use your judgement. Basically, if you're ''actively getting in the way'' of someone else trying to do their job, you're probably breaking this rule.

*Playing jobs that can be called upon at any time to assist other crew members in emergencies waives your right to have interruption-free (E)RP sessions in private, including the dorms. If you join as a Lifeline Tech, expect to be interrupted out of private scenes. If you’re an engineer, you are expected to set up power systems and repair any large-scale damage that hampers the rest of the crew, regardless of your intent to have sex with the assistants. (Example: The premier getting their rocks off with someone while they are being called to assist with colony matters. They signed up to be the arbiter of colony matters. ERP is not what you are here for in that role. "saying you are busy or occupied" will incur a job [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strike]].)

*If you do prospecting as an non-prospector for more than 30-60 minutes without being in an expedition with them and you are not doing your job, you may get a talking to. If you want to play like a prospector - just play the job instead of ignoring the one you signed up for.

*Maintenance diving is not a valid reason to be busy from your assigned job. If you are requested to perform the actions of your role while maintenance diving it is expected that you make your way out of maintenance in a timely manner.

== You are expected to obey the chain of command (within reason) ==
*Each head of staff is the de facto leader of their department, so listen to them. Likewise, you should obey decisions from faction owners (if a fax arrives) or council decisions unless directly overridden by an admin. If you consistently do not follow reasonable orders, you will be job banned.

*If you're playing a role that has [[AI#Interpreting_Your_Laws|AI laws]], you must obey these laws first and foremost to the best of your ability.

*As any role without AI laws, you can disobey orders you think are traitorous, harmful, immoral, or violating [[Laws]]. Use your judgement and consider whether or not disobeying the order could get you in trouble or get someone else horribly killed.

*If you are given an order or AI law that may break another server rule, please alert the admins for a second opinion before continuing.

Mind you, this is '''not''' a rule that lets people be fun police as heads of staff. If you feel that someone is ordering you do things that basically require you ''not'' to do your job, or to do your job in ways that aren't important/fun, then contact an admin for a second opinion or fax a faction owner in character.

== You are expected to forget events that are deemed non-canon ==
*This is to keep things a little more sane in-round, and to allow for players with preferences in non-consensual activities to have their fun with people who share those prefs as victims. It is therefore against this rule to remember and abuse the knowledge of who killed/raped after the round has passed unless both people involved agree. You should not have the memory to antagonize or persecute your attacker without the prior OOC agreement of the other parties in the roleplay. They can include this consent in their OOC Metainfo/Notes or discuss it with you in LOOC before or after the roleplay.

*Keep in mind that non-consensual RP, while OOC, is fine it is not on an IC level. Characters who make their non-con actions public or get caught in the act can and will be permanently killed if caught. For example, if a person is tried and executed for rape that character is permanently dead and cannot reappear on the colony. If you wish to do non-con keep it private. '''You've been warned.'''

*The round ending does not make you immune to a character perma-kill. Just because you evaded capture or was not killed by the time it restarted does not mean everyone forgets what your character did. If you get caught and the evidence is ironclad enough, you will be PK'd.

*This rule also applies to events that cause catastrophic damage to the colony, such as a code red/delta scenario. As a general rule event coordinators '''should''' say before or after an event if it is non-canon or not.

*If you are killed in a round and then revived in the same round, you're memory is entirely intact and may act accordingly.

= The intent of the rules is more important than the letter =
The purpose of the rules is to preserve a fun and enjoyable environment for all players. If everyone is enjoying themselves even while the ‘letter’ of a rule is not being followed, it’s likely that no staff intervention will be required. On the other hand, just because something isn't in the rules doesn't mean it's okay or allowed if it's upsetting a large number of players.

*It is within admin staff's discretion to decide that certain actions violate one or more rules, even if the specific action is not listed as part of the rule. This is simply the job of the staff to interpret the rules. You can appeal decisions to other admins if you believe one has a bias against you, but doing so after a ruling is passed will get you in trouble.

*Plenty of rules are left vague enough to cover as much as possible without being too oppressing. Attempting to rules-lawyer saying that "this rule doesn't specifically say I can't do X", even if what you are doing is disrupting the server, will generally be ignored. We assume most of you have enough common sense to recognize what a [[#Create_and_play_server-appropriate_characters|sane and stable individual]] would and wouldn't do within this fictional setting.

=== Listen to admin staff ===
* One admin's word is usually as good as any other. Though, just because one admin says something is okay in that moment does not mean it will always be okay under another admin or even the same admin.
** If this causes a contradiction, you can (and should) inform the new admin of what you were told previously. For example, a Head Admin says you can do something, but that admin has left the server. A lower ranked admin shows up and asks you to stop doing that thing. You can explain that the Head Admin previously said you could do this, but if the lower ranked admin ''still'' wants you to stop, then you should stop. (This obviously works vise-versa as well.)
** Intentionally not telling a new admin about a contradiction is considered lying. It's like asking your mom for ice cream, but she says no, so you go ask dad because you think he'll be less strict.
* Sojourn is not a straight democracy; our rules and guidelines exist for a reason and we have staff dedicated to enforcing them and help set further guidelines if necessary. '''However, these rules are always going to be incomplete, and as such, just because something isn't written doesn't mean it's allowed.''' If a staff member tells you to do something, do it. They tell you to stop, then stop. If you disagree with a ruling, don't try to argue it then and there, especially if things are hectic. Once things have calmed down, or preferably after the round has ended, you can try to contact the staff member privately to discuss the ruling, or talk to another admin if you cannot talk to or cannot convince the offending admin.

* If you have a question over something unclear or questionable, never be afraid to adminhelp. The staff on hand should discuss it among themselves and give you a ruling, from there on if the ruling is in bad judgement, it's on the admin who cleared it, not ''you''. '''The staff should also NEVER ban you purely for a complaint against them.''' Even if you're a complete asshole about it, as long as the argument stays private, you cannot be banned just for arguing. Although being an asshole usually won't win an argument, so you probably shouldn't do that anyway.
** Don't confuse this for "complaining grants you immunity to bans", because that's not how it works. If you are told to not break windows and you complain how that isn't fair, you're still getting banned for breaking windows if we disagree with your complaint. What this means is we won't ban you or make an existing ban worse just because you tell us we're being excessively mean, confusing, or unfair to you or someone else.

= Dungeoneering =
A core aspect of our server is our PvE content, this can range from going into randomly generated dungeons, leaving the safety of the colony, or simply crawling through maintenance. However, we also have specific jobs for this and ones who should be doing this. As such, '''jobs discouraged or disallowed from dungeoneering are actively targeted by staff when spotted.''' Refer to the list below of jobs allowed to or dungeoneer.
===Core Dungeoneering===
These jobs are allowed to enter and leave the colony, and dungeons at will. There expected to do a wide range of things and will never be targeted for being in these areas.
* Foreman | Salvager | Prospector
* Lodge Hunt Master | Lodge Hunter
* Outsider

=== The Junkfield ===
The Junkfield has no restrictions on any role or job, do to its infinitely reproducible allowing no gameplay or fun to be lost by people using it.
* Anyone - Any reason as long as they are not ignoring or breaking their job.

===Staff Guide for Handling Dungeoneering===
When someone not in the listed jobs above is caught in a dungeon, admin staff are not only instructed to but '''encouraged''' to decide if the player is affecting the overall round to a negative effect and use in-game traps and mobs to kill the respective offender using the listed guide when needed. (Keep in mind we're here to have fun not punish people like robots following stonecold laws for breaking the rules. Use your best mindset for this.) However, this comes with a check list of things that need to be verified.

# Is the person apart of an event (official, mini-event, player run) that gives them a good roleplay reason to be in the area? I.E. the prospectors wanted extra hands and church litanies for healing, so they paid a vector to come with them.
# Is the person there for a reason that isn't looting? I.E. are they rescuing someone who is injured, etc. etc.
# If both answer to both is no, all staff must first subtle message the player in question with a warning of some kind such as "Something doesn't feel right, you're being watched..." or "An unearthly silence fills the space around you." or similar foreboding messages.
# '''Give them a reasonable amount of time to flee the area''' (usually 5 minutes) after the warning is given so they can avoid being killed.
# If they have not left, start by adding additional mobs/traps in their way as they continue. Under no circumstances should a player ever see the mobs or traps spawned, this means you cannot as staff randomly spawn mobs on top of, in front of, or in implausible locations to harm the offender. This includes spawning hard to spot traps in the path of a walking player, '''do not do this'''. As a rule, all additional spawns should be 7 or more tiles away from the player at all times. All methods to ramp the difficulty must be done in such a way that it makes perfect sense in-character, using thematically appropriate traps/enemies. I.E. You shouldn't be spawning primal renders inside the greyson field offices, etc. etc.
# Ramp up the pressure until they are dead. Do not begin with 10-20 spiders, start with 3-4 and keep progressing until they are overwhelmed or use lethal traps that they could avoid but will kill them if they're not careful. The goal is first to scare them to flee and only kill them if they persist. Staff who actively and badly enforce this rule without properly adhering to this list will get a [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strike]]. If they get 3 or more strikes, they are no longer allowed to enforce this rule and may be demoted.
# The body should remain intact and reviable '''the first time this happens.''' The second time in the same round, a guilty offender should be rendered unreviable via being devoured by roaches. '''Do not gib or severely fuck up a body beyond repair on the first offense.'''

Rules

2023-03-09T01:48:40Z

Rebel0: Inter-round concequences edit.

{{GetStartedHeader}}

These are the rules for the server and ''are subject to change without notice''. For further clarification, use common sense. If you did get banned, there's probably a good reason for it, but if you disagree, you can always make an appeal on the discord. Although these are rules, but they are not infallible, complete, or concrete, and probably never will be despite our best efforts. If ''ever'' something feels wrong, either don't do it, or admin-help it first. Above all, use your common sense, listen to the game staff, and try to keep the game fun for everyone; not just yourself.

If you disagree with the rules as they currently stand, talk about it on the discord or with admins and maybe we can improve them through some healthy criticism and debate.

'''These rules are designed to be written in such a way that you can ''usually'' understand them just by reading the headers''', because reading ''all of this'' would be insanity for most people. If you cannot understand a rule just by looking at it, or wish to know about possible exceptions or examples, click the rule to learn more.

If you find yourself spending too much time reading this page, or are confused about any rules, please contact an admin on Discord to make suggestions on how these rules could be better worded.

== You must be 18 or older to play on this server ==
'''There are no exceptions.''' If the staff suspects that you are underage for any reason, you will be banned from playing on the server until you are able to prove to the satisfaction of the staff that you are at least 18 years old.

*Use of real world slurs, ‘lolspeak’, and other indications of immaturity may be taken as signs that you are underage.

*Knowing another user is underaged but not reporting it is considered grounds for an immediate, permanent ban.

*The age of consent in your country is irrelevant. Your opinion about this rule is irrelevant.

*You may also not play a character who is under 18 years of age.

== Obey the community's global rules ==
These rules apply ''everywhere'', including Discord, the server, and even private discussions with non-admins. However, not all of the global rules are even possible to break in the server, so this wiki page only covers what's relevant to the game server. The overlap from the global rules are:

* No spam.
* No OOCly illegal discussions or content (such as child porn, drugs, piracy, real world threats, etc).
* Respect other users, don't use real-world slurs, and don't intentionally drag private conflicts or in-game conflicts into public OOC (such as on the Discord server, the in-game global OOC channel, or anywhere else).
* Don't intentionally abuse server functions to upset (grief) people, or derail discussions. You know what this means, don't play stupid.
* No complaining about bans unless done properly via an appeal on our [https://sojourn13.space/forum/viewforum.php?f=13 forums] or in an ahelp or otherwise private means as an inquiry to administration staff.

== Don't be an asshole ==
It's fine to say stuff and whatnot but being a outright dick isn't alright, and there's a fine line with that. Also, spamming racist words is still not okay.

=== Do not inconvenience AFK or disconnected characters ===
Under normal circumstances, do not harm or otherwise inconvenience characters whose player is idle, ghosted, or disconnected entirely. There are some exceptions to this rule, as follows:
*Circumstance that warrant the interactions of AFK/SSD players are few and far between if there is ever a case were you are REQUIRED for to take any ID/Bag/Gear from someone that is SSD, Ahelp before hand and with your reason why. Not ahelping before may result in HARSH OOC punishment if you are found to be manipulating them while away, or causing any sort of general tampering with the player. (IE. Don't be an asshole who steals shit from afk players unless its required)
Note: If your moving someone to cryo after the time, this is ok, as long as you do not remove their items unless it's faction important and you have the means to return them properly
*If they've disconnected/idle for more than 15 minutes, you can put them in cryosleep. If you do that, take away all of their belongings except for their jumpsuit, shoes, ID, and PDA, and return everything else to its rightful department.
*If they've committed a crime, jail them as you normally would and conduct their sentence even if they aren't connected. 20 minutes in the brig is still 20 minutes in the brig.
*Emergencies bypass this rule. If it's an emergency and you need something an idle player has to fix it, you may take it. If a fire starts in a room and the AFK player is the only one who can open the door then it's an emergency. Needing to get a snack from the kitchen and robbing the chef does not count as an emergency.

=== ERP preferences must be respected ===
Players should have their ERP prefs listed in their “OOC Meta info” or “OOC Notes” on their characters. You are required to respect these preferences so long as they pertain to ERP. If you are unsure about the meaning of some of their preferences, then use LOOC to discuss it with them. If you accidentally go against someone’s preferences, or someone else goes against yours, work to correct it as quickly as possible, even if that means just deciding in LOOC amongst yourselves that ‘this didn’t happen’ and going your separate ways.

*If you do not like someone's erp preferences you won't be punished for saying so, but do not harass someone just because they like something you don't. It's far easier to simply avoid someone and causing drama will get you into trouble.

*If you are uncomfortable with an ERP theme that you hadn't thought to add (or didn't know existed) to a list of dislikes in your OOC notes, speak up in LOOC as normal. Conversely, those of you foolish enough to put 'anything goes' into your preferences, or anything else vague like this, do so at your own risk. '''You forfeit your right to complain about preference breaking''' if you do not put ''some'' indication of your dislikes into OOC preferences.

**'''Do not OOCly consent to an non-consensual scene and attempt to report it ICly or OOCly.''' This is effectively ''forcing'' players to engage in your fetish scene. Topics like this may make players incredibly uncomfortable or distressed. Do not do this. If you have ''not'' consented to the scene - A-help '''IMMEDIATELY'''.
**Do not do scenes such as this in public. Ever. You will not only be player killed (PK) but also have further punishments put upon you. If you want to opt-in for a scene as such, take it to dorms or a area defined properly as a private area.
**Do not make false allegations of non-consensual scenes in game. Falsely accusing someone of rape or other non-consensual material will result in an immediate ban. This is incredibly bad faith and petty.
**'''Being found in violation of NON-CON rule(s) will be met with an automatic player kill (PK) and Perma Ban with no appeal given investigation. You've been warned as this is not tolerated here.'''

*Do not attempt to force yourself into ERP scenes where the other party (or parties) involved are not comfortable with it, or not even actually participating. This includes (but is not limited to) repeatedly trying to do ERP that a player has blatantly stated they are uncomfortable with, trying to guilt players into having a pity RP with you, etc. You get the idea. Don't do it.

*AFK/SSD/Disconnected players are not valid targets for any ERP.

=== The private areas are protected ===
The ‘dorms’ area on the map are reserved for ERP and are ‘protected’ from interruption. It is a violation of this rule to break into occupied dorms or harass players in dorms. Dorm areas are any personal apartments generally restricted to a specific person such as a head of staffs private bedroom or a dorm area claimed by a specific person, usually through a labeled door.
*The only exception is for security to arrest those who have committed crimes. Security is not allowed to indiscriminately inspect dorms for crimes, but a known criminal hiding in a dorm is not protected by this rule.
*Conversely, it is not permissible to attempt to use dorms to hide from security, or to make their job of finding you harder. The dorms are for people who want to ERP in privacy. Don’t involve them in your shenanigans.

=== Do not disrupt non-public ERP scenes ===
TL;DR is you should avoid screwing with scenes that are not in public areas. The problem is, not everyone knows what is considered public or private. This is especially important for [[Security]] players to know.
*Dorms are considered private obviously. Don't mess with those under any circumstances unless someone inside actively invites you. (Calling for help is considered an invite.)
*If a person is ERPing in a public location they should be asked to vacate to a private dorm room. If they refuse they may be arrested immediately.

=== Speak English ===
We are an English server. All OOC communications are expected to be done in English. It's alright if your English is rough and imperfect, just as long as we can reasonably understand it.

*This also extends into IC communications, but is more flexible as some characters have heavy accents.
*Having a character sometime speak smatterings of other languages is acceptable, but speaking exclusively in these languages for entire sentences is not.

=== Roleplay as long as it's feasible ===
*This is an HRP (Heavy RolePlay) server. You are expected to roleplay your actions with other players as long as it's feasible. If someone engages you in purely ‘robust’ (aka game-mechanics driven) combat while you were attempting to roleplay with them, with no reasonable provocation, please use the admin-help feature to inform an admin.
**Reasonable provocation would be things that deem you too dangerous to be given even a chance to talk. For example, openly wielding a gun while threatening people, charging someone with a knife, trying to create a hazard, or being the target of a manhunt.

*If a fight does begin, you're not expected to type out every gunshot and dodge and attack. That would be absurd. Generally, you roleplay up until the point that it makes sense to start attacking, and then use game mechanics from there. You are allowed to respond to ‘robust’ violence with your own, if you desire, though you should attempt to return to roleplaying as soon as feasible. The environment is not designed for a focus on action, but rather for character-building and roleplaying. When a fight is over, resume roleplaying.

*Movement is considered a game mechanic for the purpose of this rule. Wordlessly running at a security officer who is attempting to arrest you, or wordlessly fleeing from them, is considered engaging in game-mechanic combat. The security officer has valid cause to stop trying to roleplay and stunlock you into the ground.

*Death may not be uncommon at the frontiers of space but it is still impactful. When a character dies, or your own character dies and is revived, death should be considered an immensely painful and graphic experience. One should stay in character during said experiences, statements of ‘oh well’ or mutilating a corpse for ‘fun’ would not be reasonable responses.

*'''You are to have fleshed out character records.''' These are used not only for roleplay but are to be utilized, if specified by staff, for long-term consequences for actions. Players are supported to use these as roleplay documents and treat others with these seriously. Our expectations for what should be in these can be found on [[https://sojourn13.space/wiki/Example_Paperwork#Character_Records|the Character Records page of our Example Paperwork wiki.]]

=== Do not join with an inappropriate ckey ===
Ckeys, better known as BYOND user names, must be appropriate. If any are deemed inappropriate, the ckey will be banned and you will be unable to play on our server until you make an account with an appropriate name.
*Ckeys that mock certain players or groups are an example of inappropriate.
*Ckeys that violate BYOND's terms of service may also be reported.

=== Do not misuse Global OOC ===
Many servers simply mute global OOC. We do not, because the OOC command is useful to have on in an RP heavy server.

* Global OOC is used, for instance, to contact someone you were typing a reply to had walked out of the room before you were done, and you're trying to ask them to come back. It's also useful if you're a new player, or an old player exploring new mechanics, who asks something like, "How do I make Tricord again?" or something short and similar. Short, sweet, and relevant OOC messages are generally okay. Welcoming old players returning, or new players joining, is also generally okay.

* Global OOC is ''not'' for idle banter, ranting, things pertaining to incidents in the current round (see previous rule), in-depth explanations (an explanation that takes more than a few lines), shitposting memes, or discussing topics not relating directly to the game. If you want to chatter OOCly, go to our Discord channel, which is linked from the home page or use LOOC so as to not disturb the rest of the server.

* Also, if someone does misuse OOC, do not complain in global OOC about their misusing of global OOC. Not only are you just making the problem worse, that is considered being a backseat admin, which is prohibited by other rules.

== Keep IC and OOC separate ==
*Don't complain in OOC or LOOC when your actions IC get you in trouble. If its a rules violation then Ahelp or open a ticket on the discord.
*IC (In-character) and OOC (Out-of-Character) actions and knowledge should be separated as much as possible. Don't use OOC channels to discuss what's going on IC until after the round is finished, don't use OOC knowledge to do things your character wouldn't know, such as operate medical machines when a cargo technician. You are not playing yourself in the game, you are controlling a character with their own wants and knowledge and the IC/OOC boundary is to help reflect that.
**Note that these same rules apply to LOOC as well.
*Disconnecting or using other OOC means to avoid IC consequences is against the rules. If you do urgently need to leave the server even though you're being punished, your options are either to surrender and get it over with, or use admin help to inform the admins, "I know Security is after me, but I have to go because (some emergency)." Failure to take ten seconds to tell an admin before disconnecting may result in harsher punishment.

=== Metacomms, metagaming, multi-keying, (etc) are not allowed ===
*Metacomms: Using third-party programs, such as Discord, IRC, Skype, or even the BYOND pager, to discuss and share information of the ongoing round. This excludes other players, can contribute to toxicity among the playerbase, and is often a tactic used by griefers and thus is a no-go.

*Metagaming: Using information obtained from elsewhere to influence IC decisions and actions. Your opinions or knowledge of other players or characters obtained via OOC methods should not direct your IC actions. If you have an OOC grudge against someone, you may not try to antagonize them IC, for example.
** Metagaming sometimes happens by accident due to game mechanics behaving undesirably due to intentional features or unintentional bugs and oversights. If it happens, ask an admin to help straighten things out if you can't do so among yourselves.

*Multi-keying: Logging in with multiple BYOND accounts on our game server. There is never any legitimate reason for you to do this and thus is not allowed.

= Create and play server-appropriate characters =
Although this is a furry roleplaying server based around 2D spess mans, that doesn't mean anything goes because that is possible. Suspension of disbelief is still important to a good experience, and breaking that suspension of disbelief is bad for roleplaying. Characters who break that suspension of disbelief are not allowed. Saying "it's what my character would do" isn't an automatic protection against this rule if what your character is doing breaks that immersion.

*Play a reasonably sane and mature character, give them a non-immersion breaking first and last name, do not play obvious reference characters, or characters from published works.

*Keep in mind that people do not like pain or dying and usually try to avoid it without good reason. Give your character a reasonable set of strengths, fears, and weaknesses. When writing things for IC, write things out that sound like speech, not emoticons or lolspeak.

*The setting contains no magic. Your character cannot have any superpowers, magical abilities, or anything that does not exist in the setting or cannot be reasonably replicated with game mechanics. If they are not someone who has a good reason to work on the colony, they should not be here.
**The exception to this is purely private roleplay. For example: If your character and another character are in a dorm by themselves, and the other is OOCly fine with it, your character can display potentially supernatural abilities. This is limited to that roleplay, though. You should not discuss anything about that in public. Use magic at your own risk however, because technically the moment your RP is discovered by someone else, it stops being private, putting you in potential violation of this rule.

*Obscenely oversized or undersized characters are forbidden. Minimum height is at least four feet. Maximum height is about eight feet. Anything more or less really pushes the already shaky believably of abhumans and established alien lore.

*If you are playing a lore based species such as sablekyne, mar'qua, opifex, or whatever else we add in the future, you are expected to play the race as they are canonically meant to be played.

*OOC Notes and Flavor Text are '''required'''. Your OOC notes must detail your ERP preferences, and your flavor text should not include non-physical attributes (do not include feelings your character has, or how they act). Character records are something that should be filled out, if you have an issue or don't know how to do it properly, contact a member of staff for help.

*To be a colonist your character '''must''' have at least a ''basic'' understanding of the English language. Outsiders, however, are exempt from this restriction and may be of people from various backgrounds that may not have a grasp of even basic English.

*If your character is suspended, permanently killed off, or otherwise removed from the colony as a consequence for something horrible they did in-character, you are expected to not play that character anymore. If found playing the character again, or a 'clone' to circumvent this result, OOC punishment will be issued.

* '''Do not play vibrantly colored or "sparkle dog" type characters.''' This basically means you should mainly have natural fur coloration and a relatively normal appearance. Yes, our character editor has a ton of color options, including neon colors and many design sprites to do strange things. Creativity is fun, making your appearance incredibly unrealistic or as obnoxious as possible will result in admin intervention. Some leeway is given to races with canonically vibrant colors such as cht'mants and cindarites or custom xenos but try to keep them muted instead of neon. Following the custom species guide does not make you immune from this rule. If an admin asks you to change your color, do so, we have this rule to maintain HRP.

== Do not kill or attack things (including yourself) for no good reason ==
*This includes yourself. Even in self-defense your goal is to fight off your attacker and survive, killing in a fight should only be done as a last-ditch effort when it's clear it's a you or them situation.

*Suicide or self-mutilation is not allowed without prior allowance by an admin. The reason for this is to maintain an atmosphere of reasonable and, at least mostly, mentally sound workers. The subject can be a poor attention grab, be used for guilt, or remove any immersion or story from someone. If you believe you have a reason, ask an admin.

*Excessive force responses are not allowed by our rules. Excessive force responses would be, for example, crushing someone’s skull for cutting you in line, stabbing someone’s eyes with a screwdriver for boredom, killing someone over a single punch, etc. Use proper reasoning for when you act in such a manner.

*Hiding player corpses as a self-antag / antag is not allowed. Staff may give an exemption in the case of an event but the body should still be possible to be found.
**Similarly, do not destroy bodies purposefully. Accidents happen regarding gibbing of a skull, destruction of someone’s body due to a bomb, etc. But whacking a target that is dead until it starts gibbing its limbs is not.
**Antags have some exemption to this; such as Blitzshells or Carrions. However admins are to specify if an antag may use these abilities or not as they can possibly end up being round-ending for a player.

*Make it clear through actions or words if you are moving into combat against someone. Even something as simple as “I’m killing you” will suffice - or even placing paper at the entrance to a cave saying ‘KEEP OUT’. Wordlessly shooting people without any clear intent or reasoning may result in administrative action depending on the context. We are a roleplay server.
**Players are, by no means, required to emote. They may choose to do so if they please. Drawing a gun when in a heated situation, such as when a gun is already drawn on them, or even being visibly armed during a fight is clear intent enough to meet this requirement. Use proper reasoning and judgment.
**If a player makes their intent known (I.e ‘get on the ground, now’, ‘give me your shit’) - you, as the person receiving said demand, are not required to say anything further. You may retaliate with force at this point if you deem fit. Sometimes ICly is preferable to try and talk, but you are not required to. Just know that actions have consequences ICly and they may apply to you depending on the legality of the order or reasoning of it.

* You are not allowed to act rounds later on someone legally. This goes for both Security and non-Security members. Admins may permit actions to take place regarding previous round charges if seen reasonable (such as a trial), but unless you are given direct permission this is '''not''' allowed.
** You may, however, use previous conflicts as a justification for hostility with a person. This however falls under the act of Self-Antaging if you pick a fight on your own. This is allowed, but by doing so, you accept consequences for this action. This action will not be considered legal icly.

== Do not powergame ==
*Better known as 'playing to win'. As a security person this can be seen as going out of your way and needlessly endangering others to ‘win against’ criminals. As the Colony AI exploiting loopholes in your laws to get yourself out of them or getting the person who subverted you into trouble is another way. There is an implicit allowance for lawed characters to ERP. You may create loopholes for this reason only.

*While this shares several things in common with other rules, it still is it's own entity. Play to have fun, allow yourself to lose now and again and roll with the blows as it can make things potentially even more interesting.

*Having '''way''' too many skills for one character is another example of this. Just because you're the premier and have access to everywhere doesn't mean you should (or can) know how to do all the different jobs. (See [[Character Creation#Give them a set of skills|Character Creation]] regarding skills for more information.)

*[[Identifying Antagonists]] when you shouldn't be able to is also a violation of this rule.

=== Do not godmode ===
* Often confused with powergaming, godmoding is to create abilities out of nowhere, or do impossible things. If the action cannot be reasonably emulated in the confines of the game's mechanics, and it gives you some kind of advantage or is exceptionally weird, it's probably not allowed. For example, if you don't have access to a mechanic for turning invisible, you can't turn invisible. Saying you're invisible doesn't mean squat.

* Creating a character who is immune to injuries or pain also falls under this. The game won't let you ignore getting shot, why would any player allow it either?
** If your character is literally coded to ignore pain, you can ignore pain. Cyborgs and robots are a notable example. They do not feel pain. They are not immune to injury, however.

* Accidental injuries are still in-character injuries unless an admin heals you. Admin heals are generally out of character to void the injury.

* '''Admins who are caught abusing admin powers to godmod will be immediately dealt with.'''

===Do not abuse whispers===
Any actions that would obviously be visible should not be hidden using whispers, this includes ERP, whispers longer than a sentence, or actions that would obviously be visible to anyone glancing you way. If you need to speak something longer than a sentence but want to keep it quiet use the whisper command. Anyone caught using whispers to hide obviously visible actions of paragraphs of texts will get slapped for it.

== Rules of ‘Self-Antag’ ==
To start with, here are some of the bare bone basic rules when self-antagging.
* Your goal should be to provide fun for players in the round. Not just for yourself. Create scenarios others can enjoy and interact or involve other players who are receptive to your antics.
* Don’t Self-Antag without proper IC reasoning. Reasoning along the lines of "I'm bored" or "Giving Security something to do" is NOT a valid reason to be an asshole. Make sure your reason(s) are believable and why your actions make logical IC sense to any Admin.
* Your main goal should be to get away with something and live to fight another day. Not to aim to murder everyone in your sight.
* Don’t break machines or items when you are self-antaging, steal them instead. If the item has no worth to you nor any credit worth, don’t take it. If it does or would sell for a pretty penny, you may steal it and use or pawn it off.
** Similarly, don’t destroy or otherwise effectively grief Soteria or other faction machines that are needed for life-saving or are not replaceable. I.e - cryotubes, surgery tables, RnD machines, etc.
* Think about how a normal person would behave under similar circumstances. A well established character who has been around awhile may be given a bit of wiggle room to keep rounds interesting.
* By Self-Antaging, you are consenting to consequences to your actions. Be it from a normal player, or any result that may come from command or security personnel.
** Do not complain about the consequences you face upon doing such actions. Being fired, brigged, or killed - depending on the severity of your actions - are all possible outcomes. If you value your character and their reputation, don’t do it.

Due to the importance of certain items or objects, to get permission to break into certain high security places or steal specific rare or strong objects requires staff permission first. These include:

* Breaking into any of the colony armories.
* The AI room or stealing the AI directly.
* Heads of Staff rooms to steal unreplaceable gear/artifacts.
* The spare ID in the Premier's office.
** The council may borrow the spare to handle activities such as issuing a new or missing ID, but are NOT to abuse it without A-helping first.

The key goal to self antagging is to create roleplay that is enjoyable or otherwise fun for players to interact with to differ from the norm. Below are a list of examples but you should always consider "are other people having fun or am I just being a dick?"

* Buying and selling contraband.
* Starting a drug production operation in a secluded spot in the colony.
* Disguising yourself as a specific department and gaining access to it while pretending to be a member of that department until someone notices.
* Extorting people for cash with a good old fashioned mugging.
* Stealing money, cutting profits, etc.

Now that the guidelines are out of the way, this rule set are examples of what self-antagonists are '''NOT''' to do without admin permission.

* Large explosives such as plasma bombs, max-caps, or any form of gas attack (such as the use of plasma fire flooding) are NOT allowed without admin permission.
** Grenades in casings and the like are, however, free to use as you see fit.
* Being a self-antag does not mean a license to murder. Doing so may result not only in perma-brig or a PK depending on your actions outcome, but staff involvement as well.
** Shooting at security while on the run for example is fully fine and acceptable rules-wise, but you are not to purposefully kill people at random.
Do not self antag more than once per day. This is generous as is, you shouldn’t be running around multiple rounds in a row breaking stuff, stealing stuff, etc. There is a fine line between a self-antagonist and a shitter.
* Do not use self-antagonism as an excuse to ruin a player's experience. This includes targeting players you know you do not like, providing purposefully no enjoyment to the situation for them, etc. It’s just dickish behavior.
* Do not start hostile actions within the first 15-30 minutes of the rounds start. You may use this as prep time, or A-help asking to start early if it’s something you feel you need to do to get the proper prep time to begin with.
** Similarly, you are to cease escalation of antagonism once a round end vote passes. Security may hunt for you, and you may retaliate in that case - but you are NOT to start self-antaging in the last 15 minutes of a round nor continue actions of self antaging.

Remember - we play on what most servers consider an “Extended round type” and pride ourselves, as a server, sith offering a persistent atmosphere where previous actions are considered ‘canon’ versus the normal SS13 experience of Groundhog Day. We do not have normal full blown antagonists, such as a murderous traitor, a serial killer, a wizard, or Steve from accounting having a bad day and deciding it’s hijack time. We are a PvE server that wishes to allow some players driven conflict and meaningful stories from said conflict.

IC consequences that occur from being caught range. Demotion may result in a job strike against playing a department (these wipe every 3 months), the ‘permanent killing’ of your character in the case of heinous crimes, or other possibilities that players may decide within reason. It is for that reason that, by self-antaging, you are '''CONSENTING''' to these consequences for the action you have taken.

=== Outsiders & Self-Antaging ===

Outsiders hold some different rules and freedoms to self antaging than others. Outsiders may range from sane, understandable characters - to flawed individuals - to escaped convicts, cannibals, and deranged individuals. As such, their Self antaging takes different forms.

This section is a short one regarding outsiders and their self-antaging specifications. Outsiders hold different restrictions and freedoms from a colonist or lodge member deciding to self-antag. This section will outline these points below.

* Outsiders, unlike colonists, may resort to murder more quickly and for simpler reasons than a colonist. You are still not to make a target unrevivable, destroy their body, or otherwise hide the body without admin permission.
** That being said, you may do amputations of a body part or two as - say - some antagonistic type of cannibal. But do not go past this limit. Be reasonable
* Outsiders are still expected, as others, to give some form of indication of intent or use clear wording of what they want or are doing. Mugging someone? Say what you want. Telling someone to get lost? Draw your gun and tell them to get out.
** Paper notes may also be placed at, say, the entry to your house or on the door warning ‘trespassers will be shot’ as a means to make intentions clear or stake ownership of an area/building. Doing so means you may shoot violators, just as colonists do to infiltrators or trespassers.
* Outsiders may freely use traps, mines, and mobs to aid in their self-antaging. Be tasteful and do not use them on tiles, such as Z-transitions or staircases, or under trees completely. You may use them on ladders though as players can see down them before climbing.
* Breaking into the colony is acceptable to do, but you are to obey the previous rules regarding what can be stolen or broken into. Off limit areas, such as armories or the premiers spare ID requires admin permission.
* Finally, remember - colonists and hunters may kill you just as freely as you may kill them. They are required, as you are, to make their intentions clear. But you do not have the legal protection of a colonist. By playing outsider and, by any means acting strange or akin to a self antag, you lose the right to complain about the consequences that come to you.

== You are expected to perform the job you signed up for ==
When your character joins the round, you are accepting the responsibilities that the job you have chosen brings with it. Remember: if you are playing in a slot, you are likely preventing other players from performing that role. It is important that you fulfill the tasks that you have signed up for!
*Marhals should protect the colony from danger, the guild should ensure that power is up and that people can breathe, medical should provide treatment to injuries and other services, cargo should bring in needed cargo on request, Science should do... science stuff, and service should provide food. Command's job is to make sure at least these basics are being fulfilled, and to react accordingly in an emergency.

*A player must take into account the qualifications (both physical and mental) of their character’s role before placing them into it. If staff find your character to be unsatisfactory in fulfilling the requirements of the role, we may instruct you to revise your character.
**This includes majorly disabled characters — quadruple amputees, deaf, or blind characters, and so on — which are only permitted on the colony in the assistant (and associated alt-titles) job slot.

*Repeatedly failing to perform to an acceptable standard can result in a ban untill appealed.

*Job [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strikes]] are a counter of 0/3 which is noted on your character, after 3 job strikes, which can be earned by bad faxes or legitimate demotions from a head of staff, your character is permanently fired from that department until an appeal is made. Job strikes last 3 months, with the timer resetting with each strike.

*If you are going AFK for an extended period of time (more than 15 minutes), and are occupying a limited-number job slot (any slot other than assistant), you must remove your character from the round using a cryopod (or other similar means) to free the slot. Repeated failure to do this may result in being banned from that job.

*Do not do other people’s jobs. If you joined as medical, do not attempt to hunt down criminals. If you joined as engineering, do not attempt to perform medical treatment on your coworkers. If you are a head position, allow your staff to do work before you do the work yourself; you are a supervisor and manager first and foremost as a head position.

*Do not hijack other people's jobs. For example, if you're a roboticist but someone needs surgery, and there's already a surgeon who isn't currently busy, then don't perform the surgery instead of letting them do it. Similar examples exist with every department, so use your judgement. Basically, if you're ''actively getting in the way'' of someone else trying to do their job, you're probably breaking this rule.

*Playing jobs that can be called upon at any time to assist other crew members in emergencies waives your right to have interruption-free (E)RP sessions in private, including the dorms. If you join as a Lifeline Tech, expect to be interrupted out of private scenes. If you’re an engineer, you are expected to set up power systems and repair any large-scale damage that hampers the rest of the crew, regardless of your intent to have sex with the assistants. (Example: The premier getting their rocks off with someone while they are being called to assist with colony matters. They signed up to be the arbiter of colony matters. ERP is not what you are here for in that role. "saying you are busy or occupied" will incur a job [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strike]].)

*If you do prospecting as an non-prospector for more than 30-60 minutes without being in an expedition with them and you are not doing your job, you may get a talking to. If you want to play like a prospector - just play the job instead of ignoring the one you signed up for.

*Maintenance diving is not a valid reason to be busy from your assigned job. If you are requested to perform the actions of your role while maintenance diving it is expected that you make your way out of maintenance in a timely manner.

== You are expected to obey the chain of command (within reason) ==
*Each head of staff is the de facto leader of their department, so listen to them. Likewise, you should obey decisions from faction owners (if a fax arrives) or council decisions unless directly overridden by an admin. If you consistently do not follow reasonable orders, you will be job banned.

*If you're playing a role that has [[AI#Interpreting_Your_Laws|AI laws]], you must obey these laws first and foremost to the best of your ability.

*As any role without AI laws, you can disobey orders you think are traitorous, harmful, immoral, or violating [[Laws]]. Use your judgement and consider whether or not disobeying the order could get you in trouble or get someone else horribly killed.

*If you are given an order or AI law that may break another server rule, please alert the admins for a second opinion before continuing.

Mind you, this is '''not''' a rule that lets people be fun police as heads of staff. If you feel that someone is ordering you do things that basically require you ''not'' to do your job, or to do your job in ways that aren't important/fun, then contact an admin for a second opinion or fax a faction owner in character.

== You are expected to forget events that are deemed non-canon ==
*This is to keep things a little more sane in-round, and to allow for players with preferences in non-consensual activities to have their fun with people who share those prefs as victims. It is therefore against this rule to remember and abuse the knowledge of who killed/raped after the round has passed unless both people involved agree. You should not have the memory to antagonize or persecute your attacker without the prior OOC agreement of the other parties in the roleplay. They can include this consent in their OOC Metainfo/Notes or discuss it with you in LOOC before or after the roleplay.

*Keep in mind that non-consensual RP, while OOC, is fine it is not on an IC level. Characters who make their non-con actions public or get caught in the act can and will be permanently killed if caught. For example, if a person is tried and executed for rape that character is permanently dead and cannot reappear on the colony. If you wish to do non-con keep it private. '''You've been warned.'''

*The round ending does not make you immune to a character perma-kill. Just because you evaded capture or was not killed by the time it restarted does not mean everyone forgets what your character did. If you get caught and the evidence is ironclad enough, you will be PK'd.

*This rule also applies to events that cause catastrophic damage to the colony, such as a code red/delta scenario. As a general rule event coordinators '''should''' say before or after an event if it is non-canon or not.

*If you are killed in a round and then revived in the same round, you're memory is entirely intact and may act accordingly.

= The intent of the rules is more important than the letter =
The purpose of the rules is to preserve a fun and enjoyable environment for all players. If everyone is enjoying themselves even while the ‘letter’ of a rule is not being followed, it’s likely that no staff intervention will be required. On the other hand, just because something isn't in the rules doesn't mean it's okay or allowed if it's upsetting a large number of players.

*It is within admin staff's discretion to decide that certain actions violate one or more rules, even if the specific action is not listed as part of the rule. This is simply the job of the staff to interpret the rules. You can appeal decisions to other admins if you believe one has a bias against you, but doing so after a ruling is passed will get you in trouble.

*Plenty of rules are left vague enough to cover as much as possible without being too oppressing. Attempting to rules-lawyer saying that "this rule doesn't specifically say I can't do X", even if what you are doing is disrupting the server, will generally be ignored. We assume most of you have enough common sense to recognize what a [[#Create_and_play_server-appropriate_characters|sane and stable individual]] would and wouldn't do within this fictional setting.

=== Listen to admin staff ===
* One admin's word is usually as good as any other. Though, just because one admin says something is okay in that moment does not mean it will always be okay under another admin or even the same admin.
** If this causes a contradiction, you can (and should) inform the new admin of what you were told previously. For example, a Head Admin says you can do something, but that admin has left the server. A lower ranked admin shows up and asks you to stop doing that thing. You can explain that the Head Admin previously said you could do this, but if the lower ranked admin ''still'' wants you to stop, then you should stop. (This obviously works vise-versa as well.)
** Intentionally not telling a new admin about a contradiction is considered lying. It's like asking your mom for ice cream, but she says no, so you go ask dad because you think he'll be less strict.
* Sojourn is not a straight democracy; our rules and guidelines exist for a reason and we have staff dedicated to enforcing them and help set further guidelines if necessary. '''However, these rules are always going to be incomplete, and as such, just because something isn't written doesn't mean it's allowed.''' If a staff member tells you to do something, do it. They tell you to stop, then stop. If you disagree with a ruling, don't try to argue it then and there, especially if things are hectic. Once things have calmed down, or preferably after the round has ended, you can try to contact the staff member privately to discuss the ruling, or talk to another admin if you cannot talk to or cannot convince the offending admin.

* If you have a question over something unclear or questionable, never be afraid to adminhelp. The staff on hand should discuss it among themselves and give you a ruling, from there on if the ruling is in bad judgement, it's on the admin who cleared it, not ''you''. '''The staff should also NEVER ban you purely for a complaint against them.''' Even if you're a complete asshole about it, as long as the argument stays private, you cannot be banned just for arguing. Although being an asshole usually won't win an argument, so you probably shouldn't do that anyway.
** Don't confuse this for "complaining grants you immunity to bans", because that's not how it works. If you are told to not break windows and you complain how that isn't fair, you're still getting banned for breaking windows if we disagree with your complaint. What this means is we won't ban you or make an existing ban worse just because you tell us we're being excessively mean, confusing, or unfair to you or someone else.

= Dungeoneering =
A core aspect of our server is our PvE content, this can range from going into randomly generated dungeons, leaving the safety of the colony, or simply crawling through maintenance. However, we also have specific jobs for this and ones who should be doing this. As such, '''jobs discouraged or disallowed from dungeoneering are actively targeted by staff when spotted.''' Refer to the list below of jobs allowed to or dungeoneer.
===Core Dungeoneering===
These jobs are allowed to enter and leave the colony, and dungeons at will. There expected to do a wide range of things and will never be targeted for being in these areas.
* Foreman | Salvager | Prospector
* Lodge Hunt Master | Lodge Hunter
* Outsider

=== The Junkfield ===
The Junkfield has no restrictions on any role or job, do to its infinitely reproducible allowing no gameplay or fun to be lost by people using it.
* Anyone - Any reason as long as they are not ignoring or breaking their job.

===Staff Guide for Handling Dungeoneering===
When someone not in the listed jobs above is caught in a dungeon, admin staff are not only instructed to but '''encouraged''' to decide if the player is affecting the overall round to a negative effect and use in-game traps and mobs to kill the respective offender using the listed guide when needed. (Keep in mind we're here to have fun not punish people like robots following stonecold laws for breaking the rules. Use your best mindset for this.) However, this comes with a check list of things that need to be verified.

# Is the person apart of an event (official, mini-event, player run) that gives them a good roleplay reason to be in the area? I.E. the prospectors wanted extra hands and church litanies for healing, so they paid a vector to come with them.
# Is the person there for a reason that isn't looting? I.E. are they rescuing someone who is injured, etc. etc.
# If both answer to both is no, all staff must first subtle message the player in question with a warning of some kind such as "Something doesn't feel right, you're being watched..." or "An unearthly silence fills the space around you." or similar foreboding messages.
# '''Give them a reasonable amount of time to flee the area''' (usually 5 minutes) after the warning is given so they can avoid being killed.
# If they have not left, start by adding additional mobs/traps in their way as they continue. Under no circumstances should a player ever see the mobs or traps spawned, this means you cannot as staff randomly spawn mobs on top of, in front of, or in implausible locations to harm the offender. This includes spawning hard to spot traps in the path of a walking player, '''do not do this'''. As a rule, all additional spawns should be 7 or more tiles away from the player at all times. All methods to ramp the difficulty must be done in such a way that it makes perfect sense in-character, using thematically appropriate traps/enemies. I.E. You shouldn't be spawning primal renders inside the greyson field offices, etc. etc.
# Ramp up the pressure until they are dead. Do not begin with 10-20 spiders, start with 3-4 and keep progressing until they are overwhelmed or use lethal traps that they could avoid but will kill them if they're not careful. The goal is first to scare them to flee and only kill them if they persist. Staff who actively and badly enforce this rule without properly adhering to this list will get a [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strike]]. If they get 3 or more strikes, they are no longer allowed to enforce this rule and may be demoted.
# The body should remain intact and reviable '''the first time this happens.''' The second time in the same round, a guilty offender should be rendered unreviable via being devoured by roaches. '''Do not gib or severely fuck up a body beyond repair on the first offense.'''

Standard Operating Procedure (Lonestar & Service)

2023-03-09T01:38:34Z

Rebel0: Cargo / Service Page Start

= Lonestar Shipping =
With the Lonestar radio fully repaired, it is to fully remain in Lonestar proper. It cannot be brought out of the department, it cannot be in the Lonestar service areas, such as the bar, janitor's room, or the artist's room. It is to fully remain in Lonestar proper. Whilst colonists that are not members of Lonestar are near, the radio is to remain off if they are in hearing distance of it. Violations of this will result in immediate confiscation and application of law 103 and 106. Commenting on sensitive matters, on public comms or to other departments, can also be a applicable charge of 103 and 106.

Lonestar provides a collection of [[Example_Paperwork#Cargo|Example Paperwork for Cargo]] that can be used during a shift. Keep several copies available at all times.

It is recommended you use this at least this format for Orders from the Cargo Console: [[Example_Paperwork#Lonestar_Shipping_Receipt_v2|Lonestar Shipping reciepts]] and [[Example_Paperwork#Confirmation_Form_v2|confirmation paperwork]] for selling materials as receipts to justify your personal profits and keep an ordered paper trail.

== Cargo Order Placing & Receiving ==
Cargo orders are a matter of buying and selling. Cargo will always charge more for a crate than the listed price as a way to make a profit on it. Cargo can sell anything to anyone with the reasonable restriction of needing a paper trail of all orders, receipts, and requests. If someone purchases something that is then used for a crime, cargo is not liable if the proper record keeping has been done.

The following steps are needed for a proper order:

* If an order is accepted, skip this step. If it has been declined, stamp the request form with the "Denied" stamp, and put it in the file cabinet next to the cargo computer. Inform the customer that their request has been declined, and the reason why. Give the denied customer a copy of the form below, and keep a copy for your own records and paperclip it to the request form that was denied.
Cargo Request Denial Record
* If an order is accepted, skip this step. If the order is declined, this is the final step. Open the cargo computer and decline the order if it exists.
* The order has been accepted. Accept the agreed upon payment and open the cargo computer to accept the order, or place the order and accept it if the order does not exist.
* Do not immediately process the customer’s order. Confirm with the customer, "Will that be all?" If so, or if they just wander off without confirming this, you may now process the order.
* Ask the customer how they would like the cargo delivered. There are three methods of delivery: Pickup, mail, or courier. By default, cargo is pickup. Dangerous cargo is pickup only. is to be returned if the order cannot be picked up within 30 minutes of arrival.
* Upon arrival of the cargo, bring all cargo to the center of the cargo bay. You may be dealing with multiple orders from multiple people, so ensure you have sorted the cargo to its correct owner before delivering anything. Leave notes if necessary. Do not open any crates for any reason as ordered crates will be ID locked.
* Once the cargo is sorted, deliver the cargo using the specified method to the specified location. By default, it is to be sent to the customer's department. Pickup orders are to be kept in the cargo bay (not the lobby) until the customer arrives to pick it up. Mailed orders are to be wrapped and tagged in the mail room and sent through the pipe network to their destination. Courier delivered orders must have a cargo technician bring the order(s) directly to the destination.
* Upon delivery of any order, ensure you are given back the manifest of the order. All cargo technicians are responsible for stamping manifests and returning them to the cargo warehouse.
* If possible, collect the empty crates of any completed orders for return to the cargo warehouse. If you have any stamped manifests, put them in one of these crates.
* You're done! Relax and wait for the next cargo request.

== Mining Standard Operation Procedure ==
Mining is the section of Lonestar that goes down to the deep tunnels to harvest minerals either through the use of a hand drill or bulk mining drill. Miners are generally equipped with a weapon of their choice and go below ground to run their day to day operations. In addition miners are given an oxygen-supplied voidsuit should they ever become lost underground, the suit even comes with armor for dealing with any dangerous creatures found in the depths.

Miners should always perform these tasks:

* Get equipped: Miners suggested to at the minimum take a mining satchel, ore scanner, shovel or drill, armored voidsuit, a toolbelt (with at minimum a screwdriver, crowbar, duct tape, and wrench), a weapon, a shortwave hand radio, and basic medical supplies.
* Upgrade your tools: Miners should consider getting tool upgrades for their shovel or drill. Miners who use the drill should consider getting an advanced motor, expanded fuel tank, and ergonomic grip. Shovel users should consider an ergonomic grip and whetstone for a sharpened edge and, if possible, a diamond edge.
* Bigger, better batteries: Miners should see about getting larger and more powerful batteries from either the Prospectors or Soteria if they plan to use the bulk mining drills. The standard batteries within leave much to be desired. Additional batteries are also very useful for optical meson scanners.
* Regular maintenance: Miners should always bring an ore crate with which they can empty the bulk mining drills to prevent them from grinding to a halt due to being full. Hand tool miners should always use duct tape regularly to maintain and fix their tools so they don't break mid-outing. Be advised, a broken tool cannot be recovered, nor its tool augments.
* Stay alive: You're no use to the colony or your fellow miners if you bleed out or pass out from injury. A regular medkit, a few tramadol pills, and a single syringe of Dylovene can keep you alive long enough to get back topside for proper treatment if you forget or have used up your issued IFAK.
* Communication: Always keep in contact with your fellow miners in case you get in trouble and need help. A shortwave radio is a great back up if regular communications go down. Miners should also carry a GPS device tailored to their name or be prepared to read off their GPS position shown in their PDA.

''Miners should never bring their non-pistol weaponry into public colony areas and should leave all contraband weapons in the mining prep area or personnel lockers.''

Upon returning, miners are expected to fill out a mineral inventory form with an accurate count of all minerals collected. A copy of this form should be provided to the Chief Executive Officer and filed in the main cargo desk area for easy bookkeeping. This form must be filled out for every shipment of minerals taken up from the deep tunnels separately.

== Profit Distribution ==
Lonestar's goal is to make as many credits as possible, although a deal that continues after one transaction is considered more profitable than a one-time deal. Anyone working for Lonestar is generously supplied with a wage for their basic living needs. While promotions are not always possible, every Lonestar employee should have the potential to earn money for both themselves and Lonestar.

* All transactions done by Lonestar offer a 20% commission from the profit margin to any Lonestar employee facilitating the transaction, period. Example, a cargo tech sells a crate that cost 500 credits, but was able to negotiate the buyer into paying 1000 credits. The profit is 500 credits, 20% of that (100 credits) is then directly claimable by the employee who managed the transaction.
* All service members (bartender, chef, and gardener) may charge whatever prices they see fit for their respective services. Employees are recommended to charge above 10 credits but no more than 100 credits per drink or food item depending on the difficulty/challenge of fulfilling said order. Service members do not collect a commission for the sale of drinks and food (this is handled with their hourly wages) but are entitled to the full amount of any tips offered and may pocket it at their discretion.
* Trade beacons may be used freely by all lonestar employees using their personal accounts for purchasing or selling goods. Lonestar automatically collects a 20% market fee that is directly removed and then added to the Lonestar account whenever an item is sold through the trade beacon, this cut is to be taken out prior to profits being calculated. Lonestar has no service charge, nor tax on goods bought through the trade beacon, only goods sold. Cargo technicians and CEOs with access to Lonestars main account are expected to only use the trade beacon to gain a profit for Lonestar if they are using Lonestars main account.
* Miners receive a 20% commission on all profits generated by the materials they dig up. Since dug up and refined minerals are generally pure profitability, lonestar miners may simply total the complete cost of the materials cargo sale value and request that commission from any CEO or cargo technician (with the proper paperwork). Alternatively, miners may try to sell the materials to fellow colonists themselves at whatever price they negotiate. As with normal commissions, they may take a 20% cut of all profits generated, but are required to keep paperwork detailing who bought what and for how much (if tools and goods are traded in the place of credits, list the tools in numerical value).
* CEOs and CTs that arrive late to a shift cannot demand retroactive pay due to any sales on personal accounts. However, they can demand that any and all trading to stations and/or work that would fall upon a CT or CEO to cease.

== Preserving Lonestar Public Relations And Trade Opportunities ==
In order to preserve commerce with the trading partners of Lonestar, and prevent possible long-term consequences of company relations on the actions of a bad actor, the CEO and other Lonestar Shipping staff must exercise vigilance in prevention of authorizing fraudulent transactions of credits or goods. And Lonestar Shipping staff, as a whole, must be courteous in regards to existing and potential trade partners in pursuit of the company's interests.

This includes, but is not limited to:

* Exploiting improperly calibrated databases or equipment to profit off of any clearly deceitful business practices to Stations or Ships that trading is conducted with, either by shuttle or trading beacons. This includes permitting or paying third parties to do this in place of Lonestar staff, in which case, the authorizing members of Lonestar Shipping are to be held responsible.
* Should the uncommon occurrence of direct communication be established with existing out of colony trading partners, or a possibly beneficial group of potential Lonestar Shipping's interest, conduct of Lonestar staff should be held to an appropriate standard.
Should an employee of Lonestar be discovered to be acting against Lonestar's interests in either of these cases, they should be charged with §301, negligence. Depending on the context, a short fax to Lonestar regarding the incident may be warranted for potential further actions or punishment at the discretion of the High Council.

=== Internal Relations ===
Miners are not CTs, and CTs are not miners. That being said, if there happens to be a lack of one or the other workers are encouraged but not required to step up for the missing personnel. If there is no miner on, a CT is encouraged to mine for ores, but a CT cannot utilize the mining outpost to their hearts content and cannot outsource the work or access to colonists for the purpose of third party work. Miners are encouraged to process orders and requests from colonists, but due to a lack of proper access, miners must mention that all orders must be supplied via email or paper. Miners also do not have final say over the bay in lieu of a CT.

Both CTs and Miners are discouraged from allowing colonists and service workers such as the janitor and bartender from accessing the beacon. CEO are heavily discouraged from copying, or handing out LS's proprietary program. Any breach of program security should be reported as soon as possible to LSS

= Lonestar Service =
Lonestar's service division operates on private subcontractors for work, hiring both Lonestar employees and self-employed peoples to work for them. Lonestar's service wing includes gardeners, bartenders, janitors, and artist who partake in the preforming arts.

== Janitor Procedure ==
You have one of the best paying jobs that no one seems to take often in the entire colony. That of cleaning up after others. But you know what they say, one mans trash is another mans treasure.

* Janitors are responsible for preventing and aiding in putting down outbreaks of pests within the colony.
** Pests include: Mice, roaches, spiders, and other animals that may come from burrows.
** If an infestion is particularly bad, Marshals or Blackshield should be informed to aid.
* Janitors are outfitted with keys that can access most departments and areas. These keys, however, are only to be used in times of need or if given permission to enter said department.
** Janitors who do not receive permission to enter a department, and use the keys to illegally enter, it will be considered Trespassing by law.
* When wetting floors, a wet floor sign '''must''' be placed at the site of the wet floor. Doing so during an emergency, or in a high security area, may result in Negligence charges.

== Chef & Bartender Procedures ==
Your job is to provide various services to the crew. In case of foreign guests, diplomats or emissaries arriving you are also encouraged to cater to their needs and provide whatever services they require. Work together with the CEO and Lonestar Shipping in this regard.

* As a contractor, you are paid by Lonestar Shipping Solutions LLC. As such, all earnings from food and drinks are to be turned over to the Lonestar CEO upon request or otherwise transferred to the Lonestar account
* You may ask for tips from customers, tips may not be taken by the Lonestar CEO from Lonestar Service contracted employees.
** It is, for that reason, it is ```heavily suggested``` to use the [[Example_Paperwork#Lonestar_Service_Receipt|receipt form]] to prove the price of each good sold and separate it from the tips you make.
* Food must be edible and not poisonous to employees served. Failure to comply with this will result in immediate termination and legal charges.
* You are to dress professionally at all times; be it in proper workplace casual attire, high-class attire, or in a Lonestar uniform.
* Lonestar may provide you with additional resources from the Cargo Department, provided your job is done well. Otherwise you will have to pay with your own credits. This should be decided by the CEO.

== Gardener Procedures ==
Lonestar Service's gardeners are to work in cooperation with the kitchen staff and bartender. You are the true "MVP" of Lonestar service. Without you, the kitchen itself would cease to function.

* Gardeners are to work with chefs. You and the chef are expected to work out a menu together. As such, the CEO or other Lonestar staff are to mediate if a disagreement is had over a menu.
* Gardeners may request portions of tips. This is not mandated however, but may be mandated to be done by the CEO.
* Gardeners may use the cargo receiving beacon in the garden to supply Lonestar Service members goods for the kitchen or artist's area.
** Gardeners are not to bypass cargo techs, if any are present, in the handling private orders placed by non-service individuals. If no cargo techs are present however, gardeners may approve orders and distribute the goods to the colonist who ordered the product.
* Gardeners may grow crops that have liquids typically considered contraband for sale to Soteria, who may buy these, or for ingredients in non-toxic kitchen recipies.
** Gardeners are to destroy any bluespace-related crops immediately in a way that will not cause bluespace entropy. Failure to do so may result in legal charges and immediate dismissal.

== Artist / Performer Procedures ==
As an artist or performer, you are to entertain guests in the bar and provide entertainment or legal services to the colony. For this position you must be creative, so put your mind to use and remain productive.

* Artists are not to use their office to hide crimes or misuse their office in any sort of criminal activity.
* Artists are to provide services to the bar if requested.
* Artists may make tips, acting as a contractor for Lonestar's service wing. These tips may not be confiscated from them.
* Artists may make use of their crafting bench to sell items to citizens of the colony. Half of the profits from these sales are to go to Lonestar's department account or its CEO.

Standard Operating Procedure (Guild)

2023-03-08T23:44:20Z

Rebel0: Guild SOP starting entry

= Guild Standard Operating Procedure =
== Power generation/distribution ==
It is the duty of the Artificer's Guild to provide power and distribute it across the colony accordingly, how this power is generated is a choice of the Guild Master, or any Adept in it's absence.

(links to guides on how to make power and safe RCON setup)

Like any service provided by the Artificer's Guild, power is not given freely, other factions are charged automatically and the money is send to the headquarters account, in case a faction utilizes way more power than they do normally, this extra power may be charged and put entirely into the company's account.

(cue a centered table of the faction and how much power they use on average, Marshals use 70kw tops, soteria science is usually a bit below 100kw if genetics is being used, each lonestar/hallway/outpost substation never uses more than 50kw(unless soteria is making bombs, then it's 150kw or less), the only one that REALLY needs to be checked is the medical substation under heavy use, default is set to 200kw, but I doubt that much is needed, even with cryo and stuff)

Artificer's Guild is reserved to cut power to other locations on the following occasions:
* Lack of payment for service provided after 15 minutes of the debt being informed to the debtor, case debt is paid, power should be restored.
* An approved permission given from the high council.
* Illegal experiments occurring that have already been warned to be stopped by the Marshals
Once one of those criteria has been achieved, the people affected by the power cut should be informed when and why the power has been cut. Evidence of the reason for the power cut should be provided to Marshals case they request it.

== Shield Generator Operations ==
Another duty of the Artificer's Guild in the upper colony is to maintain the operability of the shield, while being less important than producing and distributing power, this task is also essential. Upgrades and utilizing alternative sources of power to maintain the shield are recommended, since this equipment can be a drain to the power lines if incorrectly tuned.

Operating the Shield is a joint task of Blackshield and Artificer's Guild, the first determining when to activate and how, while the second makes sure the shield is doing what is requested. The shield is to be kept turned off by default, context being key in activating or changing what will the shield block.

(link to a guide for setting shields here)

== Colony & Departmental Repairs ==
As an Artificer's Guild member, you're expected to maintain the colony in an operational state, the path used to achieve this goal is set by the Guild Master or any Adept if necessary, as long as the SOP is followed and no laws have been broken.

Repairing an area can be costly, therefore charging for the service is encouraged, but not mandatory, the price should be talked to the faction(Soteria, Lonestar, etc) whose area is going to be repaired prior to the start of the work, areas who do not have a clear faction owner, like hallways, public dormitories and others are to be billed to the Premier's.

Essential repairs are never to be charged directly, HQ should be informed via fax or on your debrief after a shift for proper billing to be handled by headquarters. Any request for essential repairs that may be suspicious of being caused by SABOTAGE(the word itself is a link to law, bonus points if straight to the law itself) by the involved Guild members should be informed to the Marshals and repairs interrupted. The criteria for any essential repairs is the following:

* Something that directly impacts a departments ability to operate, examples should be medical equipment in Soteria medical, trade beacons in Lonestar, the fence and gatehouse protected by Blackshield.
* Hallway access to any faction, like in the case of a cave-in or barricades.
* The area/item belongs to Guild, namely the work areas, all substations, APC in the colony and the wiring required to connect those.
* Any piping damage.
* The lack of repairs will cause a direct threat to the existence of the colony, like tunnels that may be used for infiltration into the colony.

Any essential repair has the goal of making the area '''OPERATIONAL''', anything beyond that should be charged, a good example is not leaving underplatings due to them being a tripping hazard, but proper flooring is not essential.

Before starting a repair make sure these are being followed:
* Make sure everyone who is not a Guild member is away from the are to be repaired or at a safe distance, using the engineering tape to limit the area is ideal, but not mandatory.
* In case of atmospheric issue, including fire, seal the area, make inflatable airlocks on the access to it and move any item that can negatively affect repairs out of the area (plasma canisters, welder tanks and others).

(pertinent links to repairs here, like the build guide)

== Fulfilling & Handling Desk Orders ==
The Artificer's Guild can produce many items other members of the colony can enjoy, and those can be sold! Items that are:
* Hand Crafted (Arc welders, Artificer's guild web harness and others)
* Printed (any item printed of the forge, lathe or crafting station)
* Constructed (doors, turrets, walls and many others)
* Found while recycling/scavenging (the laws must be respected in this case)

Other items that are from other sources, like the ones found inside of Artificer's Guild workspace normally (like the Artificer Perfection cube, boards in general, voidsuits and control modules) are not to be sold, they are tools provided by the company for you to work.

While being a completely '''OPTIONAL''' part of the workload of any Artificer's Guild member, doing orders can be a source of income, and as such, charging for the orders should be defined by the Artificer's Guild member accepting it, Guild Master being able to change as they see fit. Pricing of an order does not require to be made only in credits, and any order that does not consume Artificer's Guild credits provided via the company's account belongs to the member who accepted/crafted/delivered the order, in case of multiple members working on a single order, percentage shares should be agreed between the involved parties before executing the order.

Standard Operating Procedure (Church)

2023-03-08T23:39:10Z

Rebel0: Church SOP Page Creation

= Church of the Absolute Standard Operating Procedure =
== For all Church faithful==
* Any person within the Church, regardless of on-duty status or level of consecration, who is found guilty of a red paragraph crime; or who is found by Church authorities to have committed the mortal sins of Abomination, Apostasy, Sacrilege, Simony, or Heresy; will be immediately excommunicated from the Church by order of Augustine herself.

* All faithful within the Church, regardless of on-duty status or level of consecration, are expected to behave in ways that honor and uphold the Church's core tenants of charity, humility, compassion, and understanding. Those found to have acted contrary to those principles, or to have sullied the good name of the Church, must be subjected to the Rite of Penance.

* Repeated violations of church principles or flagrant unprofessionalism can lead to the demotion of a Prime to a Vector; a Vector to a Scalar; the removal of a Scalar's cruciform, and in extreme cases excommunication for the crime of Heresy.

* Religious penalties levied within the Church for crimes or dereliction of duty are in addition to legal penalties issued by the Marshals for the same offenses. Capital and Exceptional crimes will result in immediate excommunication.

== For on-duty Church personnel ==

* Vector armor or equivalently protective equipment must be worn in the bioreactor chamber at all times while the bioreactor is running, or while cleaning and servicing it. Caution should be exercised in cases of a biomass spill. Failure to take adequate precautions against biomatter exposure is punishable by the Rite of Penance.

* The Bioprinter is core to Church operations and is to be kept adequately stocked at all times with materials either retrieved from the salvage beacon or acquired elsewhere.

* The salvage beacon is a piece of church property but is to be treated as a public area. Salvage is a first-come-first-serve basis under salvaging rights. The Church may not bar the area off to any colonist without a Marshal placed legal injunction.

* The Chapel is considered a public service, but disruptive individuals or suspected spies may be escorted out by Divisors or other capable Vectors at the discretion of Church personnel.

* Divisor Vectors are not authorized to enforce colony law, despite their training and equipment. They should respond reactively to material threats to the Church and its faithful, as well as aid Primes in enforcing Church punishment in the case of resistance.

* All Vectors other than Vinculum are expected to adhere strictly to their Rite and Ban, and to seek out clarification on their Rite and Ban from Primes and more senior Vectors of the same Path. Failure to adhere is punishable by the Rite of Penance or expulsion from the Path.

* Devout upgrades should be offered only to known Vectors who intend to use the upgrade to directly serve the Church. Those using or installing Devout upgrades for their own purposes, or for the purposes of other factions, can be punished for misappropriation of Church resources with the Rite of Penance. Sale of Devout upgrades is excommunicable Simony.

* In the event of a hivemind outbreak within the colony, all baptized members of the Church are expected to do everything in their power to destroy the infestation. Refusal to do so is punishable by the Rite of Penance or demotion.'

* Charity is a core principle of Church doctrine, but there is a line between "being charitable" and "being exploited". Medical treatment and garden produce is to be made available to all, including heathens and including outsiders at the discretion of Church personnel. Basic self-defense equipment is to be provided to all faithful, and to heathens at the discretion of Church personnel. The Church's biogenerator and solar arrays should be used to augment colony power when needed. It is forbidden to charge for these services, though donations in cash or in materials may be requested to offset their cost. Other church products, including advanced weaponry, pouches, and material for export may be sold for a modest profit, or provided for free at the discretion of Church personnel.

* The Church is tasked with seeing to the spiritual needs of the people of Nadezhda. While not all Vectors are expected to be skilled preachers or theologians, all are expected to offer support to all, even heathens, in a place of spiritual crisis or uncertainty. Failure to do so is punishable by the Rite of Penance.

* Deconstructing or selling cruciforms, church prosthetics, or other items summoned by litany from the lower colonies is excommunicable Simony unless in cases of dire and immediate need.

== Primes of the Church==
* The weapons in the Prime's armory are to be deployed only in cases of dire need-- in situations where the lives of the faithful or the safety of the colony as a whole are at dire risk, or on crusades against the hivemind, SolFed, or deep maintenance breaches. Issuing weapons from the armory under other circumstances is considered a waste of sacred resources and can be punished by demotion from Prime. Sale of weapons from the Prime's armory is considered Simony and punishable by excommunication.

* The sacred church relics stored in the Prime's office, including Joyuese and the healing staff, are not to be lent out to those outside the Church. Doing so is excommunicable Apostasy.

* Primes are responsible for their flock's adherence to church tenets, general conduct, lawfulness, Path bans and rites, adherence to SOP, and accurate representation of Church dogma, in descending order of priority. Ensuring good behavior and adherence to SOP among the Church is their responsibility. Primes found to be allowing for repeated sin or violations of Church policy can be demoted or even excommunicated on suspicion of Heresy.

== Clerical Punishments ==
* The Rite of Penance is a standardized punishment for venial sin and violations of SOP. A Prime, or more senior Vector in absence of a Prime, reads the Litany of Atonement over the offender, causing severe, debilitating, but physically harmless pain. For repeat offenses, the Litany of Atonement is repeated until the offender is incapacitated from pain.

* Alternative versions of the Rite of Penance include whipping, fasting, enforced prayer, and hard labor. They may be offered to an offender as an alternative to the standard version at the discretion of the administering Prime or Vector, but should be no less severe or unpleasant.

* Demotions are fairly standard bureaucratic affairs, involving turning a Prime into a Vector, a Vector into a Scalar, or an offender into a Fractal via removal of cruciform. This should always be faxed to Church administration. To remove a cruciform, it must first be deactivated via litany, before surgical removal by qualified Church personnel. The deactivated cruciform should be kept secure until retrieved by Church administration.

* Excommunication is the harshest Church punishment, done only for very specific sins. They are:
** Abomination: The unsanctioned modification of a cruciform; cruciform modifications produced by the Numericals are sanctioned.
** Apostasy: The unsanctioned transfer of Church technological secrets, especially working cruciforms, to another organization. Absolutist design disks are sanctioned.
** Sacrilege: The knowing installation of a cruciform onto a nonbeliever or excommunicated person.
** Simony: To profit from the sale of cruciform installations, repairs, concentrations, and other core religious services of the faith. Selling church products, like guns or clothing or medkits, or charging a reasonable wage for one’s labor, are both permitted.
** Heresy: Knowingly advocating for mortal sin, or denying the religious authority of the Prophet.

* There is also the special case:
** Lawlessness: Conviction of an exceptional offense or higher as a Vector or Prime. As part of an agreement between the factions of Nadezhda, such a person is to be automatically excommunicated. Reversing an excommunication due to lawlessness requires the conviction first be overturned; it is otherwise non-negotiable. Augustine refuses, categorically, to consider reversing excommunication due to lawlessness. Lawlessness encompasses a number of offenses, such as murder and rape, that were once considered separate mortal sins.

Excommunication requires faxing the Church for approval. The excommunicated must have their cruciform removed and may not have another installed, or be considered part of the Church, without Augustine herself first lifting the sentence.

Standard Operating Procedure (Soteria Medical)

2023-03-08T23:29:45Z

Rebel0: Medical SOP Page Start

= Soteria Medical Division =
== Medical Oaths ==
While Soteria respects that many medical professionals opt to take vows such as the Hippocratic Oath, these are not recognised as legally binding or as a valid reason for exemption from procedure. Soteria staff are reminded that the Institute has always had progress, at any cost, at its heart.

== Payment for Treatment ==
While the Biolab division’s primary purpose is not to turn a profit, medical supplies are not free. The division is partially subsidized by the factions of Nadezhda, in exchange for waiving medical fees for basic treatment. Treatments provided to mend injuries, illnesses, or other ailments gained within the span of the current shift are to be provided free of charge. Elective treatments, such as the installation of enhancements or treatment of ongoing non-threatening conditions, are to be charged according to the following guidelines:

* Surgery (per procedure – i.e. organ implantation, prosthetic replacement – not per visit to the operating theater or per incision. This does not include the cost of organs or prosthetics, below): 150 credits
* Abberant organs: 50-300 credits, dependent on complexity, difficulty of creation and biomatter used. In lieu of payment, personnel may request that the patient take part in testing of the implanted organ.
* Stimulants and medication distributed outside of medical care: 1-10 credits per unit, dependent on the difficulty of creation.
* Proprietary Soteria-branded ointment and gauze: 30 credits per unit.

In the event that a patient is unable to provide payment, their employer should be invoiced for fees after services are provided. These fees may be waived at the discretion of the personnel providing treatment.

Soteria Biolab Overseers may decide to change these pricing ranges as they see fit during the shift.

Note that, while the below section regarding the Right to Refuse Treatment does apply, medical personnel may charge for treatment that would usually be subsidized if a patient has requested an alternative method. For example, if a patient has sustained damage to their organs, but insists on a surgical transplant rather than the use of Peridaxon (and there is no medical need for this alternative) they may be charged for the surgery as if it was elective.

== Non-Disclosure Policy ==
All patient records, treatments, and data – almost anything the medical staff does (though not the simple fact a patient is or was being present on medical premises) – are not to be disclosed to other members of the colony outside of the Biolab division without the (unanimous) permission of (all) the patient(s) directly involved. Even the Marshals, Premier or personnel with access to medical records are not exempt from this. The medical death of a patient (see “Death” below) is an exception – medical personnel may choose to disclose a patient’s death to unauthorized personnel at their discretion.

Relevant warrants and Code Blue (or above) situations may still grant security personnel access to medical data. In the event that Biolab personnel believe a colonist’s (physical or mental) medical status poses a threat to others, they are permitted to report this to security staff (in the event there is a risk of harmful criminal action) or otherwise to the colonist’s employer. Such situations include patients who are (provided as an example, not an exhaustive list):

* ...believed to be at risk of causing harm to others.
* ...unable to properly uphold the duties of their work, to an extent that is likely to pose a hazard to others (see “Unfitness for Work”).
* ...at risk of spreading an infectious disease.

Personnel given access to medical data become bound by this Non-Disclosure Policy, just as Biolab staff would be. In the event of an emergency, such as a critically wounded colonist, medical data (such as suit sensor readings) may be released if there is no other feasible method of providing essential care.

== Right to Refuse Treatment ==
All patients have the right to refuse treatment, and consent must be given in advance of treatment whenever possible. If they are determined to have a limited capacity for decision-making, this right may be overruled. This is possible in the following situations:

* The patient is unconscious or in critical condition and cannot provide consent to life-saving medical treatment.
* The patient is mentally unsound and cannot properly understand the nature of treatment, or the condition to be treated. All adult colonists are presumed to be of sound mind and capable of granting or withdrawing consent at will, by default.

In the former case, judgment on a patient’s inability to consent may be made on the spot by medical personnel. If a patient is currently undergoing critical treatment when they regain the ability to consciously offer or withdraw consent (such as after waking up from a critical state), they are presumed to consent to continuation of that treatment unless otherwise specified.
In the latter case, the patient must be assessed as incapable of refusal by a Psychiatrist or Chief Biolab Overseer. In the event of physical conditions (i.e. infection-induced delirium or mind-altering drugs) altering a patient’s ability to consent, or the absence of staff capable of making the assessment, this decision may be made by non-Psychiatric personnel. The CBO may always overrule this assessment.

A patient may request alternative treatments. In such cases, the treating doctor should exercise their discretion as to whether the alternative would be sufficient. They may decline to provide treatments that are ineffective or harmful, and should (as detailed under Payment for Treatment) charge if the requested alternative is costly to provide.

== Unfitness for Work ==
In some cases, a colonist may suffer from a medical condition that renders them unable to fulfill their duties properly. This could be a physical impairment or psychological issue. In such cases, the Chief Biolab Overseer may declare that they are unfit for their role (a Doctor or Psychiatrist, whichever is relevant to the condition, may initiate this process in the absence of a CBO) and present a written assessment to the Low Council detailing the reasons for their decision. As outlined in the Non-Disclosure Policy, Council staff are bound by standard confidentiality laws with regard to this information.

The Council is to vote on whether this assessment is valid, as outlined under Council SOP (“Demoting Staff”). In the event that the subject is deemed to be unfit for their role, they must choose to either accept a suspension (as though the Council had voted to demote them) or receive treatment as soon as possible.

What exactly qualifies as “unfit” varies based on the position and condition in question. A medical condition that merely lessens a colonist’s ability to work is not grounds for this procedure, while one that prevents them from fulfilling tasks safely or in a reasonable timeframe is. A Scientist who is wheelchair-bound cannot be assessed as unfit simply because they take slightly longer to navigate the lab, but a Marshal Officer with reduced mobility could be.

== Hygiene and Disease Control ==
Medical staff should wear sterile clothing (such as non-allergenic lab coats and gloves) while treating patients, though this is not required while “standing by '' provided they can don proper equipment in a reasonable timeframe. Blood, vomit, chemical spills and other janitorial issues should be cleaned as soon as is feasible.
In the event that an infectious disease posing a considerable threat to personnel is suspected to exist:
* All infected crew are to be isolated.
* Medical personnel are encouraged to wear biohazard-protective equipment, and are required to at least wear a face covering and gloves at all times. The Chief Biolab Overseer may, and is encouraged to, amend the required equipment to better protect against the disease’s transmission vectors.

These protocols are to remain in place until a vaccine or cure is developed.

== Death ==
While “death” has taken on a number of meanings in the common parlance, for the purpose of Medical SOP, it is defined as indefinite cessation of nervous activity. In such a state, a patient may still show traces of brain activity (see below), but all bodily functions cease. If a patient is recognized as “dead” by medical scanning and diagnosis equipment, they are medically dead.

Note that this state is not necessarily permanent, and can potentially be reversed by a defibrillator (as detailed in medical training materials). In the event of a defibrillator reporting a “mental interface error”, the device is unable to restore substantial brain functions. If interface errors continue, the patient is to be placed into the morgue, where their corpse will be transported to the lower levels of the colony between shifts to assess whether recovery is possible through more intensive treatment.

=== DNR Orders and Suicide ===
A “DNR” or Do Not Revive order may be applied to a colonist’s medical records under certain circumstances, and dictates that they should not be treated in the event of death. Should a DNR be found, the patient is not to be revived, and to do so is considered Negligence. In some cases, the order may be subject to conditions, such as specifying that a patient should only be allowed to remain dead if their death is the result of a specific medical condition. A DNR may be placed under the following circumstances:
* A patient, who would typically be fit to refuse treatment, confirms their desire not to be revived. This requires assessment by a Psychiatrist or the Chief Biolab Overseer.
* The subject has been sentenced to execution via the proper legal procedure.
* The subject is an infiltrator, outsider or enemy of the colony and security staff have declared they are not to be revived.

'''Falsifying a DNR is considered to be Murder.'''

In cases of suspected suicide, the patient should be revived and security staff contacted to investigate for signs of foul play. Should the patient express a desire to die, they should be detained by security staff for urgent psychiatric evaluation. This paragraph does not apply if the patient possesses a valid Do Not Revive order.
((OOC: As mentioned in the server’s Rules, suicide is almost always OOCly disallowed. Contact an admin if you intend for your character to do it.))

== Workplace Structure ==
The Chief Biolab Overseer is the highest authority in the department. Medical Doctors and Psychologists are considered to be of equal rank. While LifeLine Technicians are generally capable of handling their own duties unguided, they should assist other personnel if requested.

Standard Operating Procedure (Blackshield)

2023-03-08T23:23:26Z

Rebel0: Blackshield SOP page creation

= Blackshield Standard Operating Procedure =
== General Duties ==
The duties of Blackshield are first and foremost the protection of the colony and its citizens above all else. Blackshield personnel are to be on standby in the event of, but not limited to, pirate attacks, hostile dangerous fauna sightings, disappearance of the prospector team members or colonists, disappearance of mining team members, or the presence of hostiles groups such as excelsior, smugglers, or a hivemind.

All Blackshield personnel MUST be:
* Able bodied.
* Low to Medium security risk.
* If serving any active sentence for a crime, must be non-violent or acquire permission from Blackshield High Council office to remain in service.

All Blackshield members should adhere to these procedures:
* When serving in Blackshield, you are serving the colony as a whole. What is for the best of the colony should be kept in mind, rather than what benefits you individually. Putting the colony as a whole at risk, or acting in one’s individual benefit, are grounds for dismissal.
* Blackshield personnel are to act professionally while on the job. This includes when dealing with operations at the gate. Blackshield’s Commander, as well as the on-duty Sergeant, may apply disciplinary action upon those who fail to act in a proper and professional manner that violates SOP. These punishments include demotion to docking personnel’s pay.All Blackshield personnel, when in the field or in any form of combat, are required to be kitted in proper armor. This armor is to be kept on their person, either worn or in their bag, at all times.
* All Blackshield personnel are required to be armed at all times. Blackshield personnel must be ready to use their armaments against any hostile forces. Non-lethal ammunition or firearms may be used, but lethal ammunition must be had on a member of Blackshield at all times.
* Orders from the Commander and Sergeant, in that order, are to be followed where possible, unless doing so breaks colony law. Violating a law knowingly by the order of one’s superior officer is not a legal defense and will make the Blackshield personnel aiding a culprit themselves.
* Blackshield personnel may request new equipment at the discretion of their Commander or Sergeant. In the case neither is available, a Supply Specialist or Warrant Officer may be requested to supply said equipment from the Blackshield armory if deemed an emergency.
* Blackshield personnel may not sell or loan their issued gear for any means. Any and all gear issued to a trooper is to be returned either to the armory or their department locker effective immediately.
* Blackshield personnel are to mainly handle external security, such as at the gates, perimeter, or operations within the colony’s surrounding jungles or deep-maintenance. Blackshield personnel are not to infringe upon other colonist’s jobs due to idle time.
** For example, while a Corpsman may provide medical aid to those injured, if Soteria personnel are available the Corpsman is to hand all injured colonists within the colony over to Soteria personnel for professional treatment immediately. Similarly, Blackshield personnel may not infringe upon Marshal activities unless required to, or given permission to do so. Etc.
** Blackshield may volunteer to aid other departments when idle, but must drop what they are doing upon orders from a Sergeant, Commander, or declaration of an emergency.
* Sergeants may demote Blackshield personnel found to be in violation of SOP or law, but must consult with their Commander if present. If not present, the Sergeant may demote but must inform the colony council of the demotion.
* Sergeants issuing demotions must follow Demotion Procedure, found within [[Standard_Operating_Procedure_(Command)#Demoting_Staff|Command Standard Operating Procedure]].

== Gate & Deep Maints Operations ==
Due to close contact with Prospectors and other personnel, as well as being the main entrance to the colony, the Gate and the Fence are important to protect, patrol, and operate around. The gate is also the one place where the Blackshield retains full law enforcement authority.

All colonists are covered by the Right to Leave in General SOP. Colonists may be searched as a condition to leaving if deemed necessary by personnel. Colonists also have a right to reentry at any time, but are required to be searched for contraband before reentry.

A gate log is to be kept of those leaving incase of medical emergency. Their name, destination location, rank, and job are to be recorded if the outgoer consents. Colonists are '''not''' required to supply this information, having a right to leave the colony at any time within reason - as stated in [[Standard_Operating_Procedure_(General)#Right_to_Leave|General Standard Operating Procedure’s Right to Leave policy]].

* When manpower is available (3-4 active (Non-SSD) Blackshield staff), the gatehouse is to be manned by at least one Blackshield member in exemption for combat operations or breaks, which in the case of breaks should be within a reasonable amount of time.
* Calls for gate operation should be answered and handled in a timely fashion.
* Marshals can be requested to fill in for temporary periods of time in the case of external operations or training. Marshals doing so are required to adhere to this section of SOP.
* The gate is to remain bolted on both sides at all times when troopers are present. When people arrive, unlock the side they are on and allow them to come through, then bolt the door again to allow them to be searched without fear of their running away.
** The gate may be bolted when no personnel are at it. However, upon being called to it by a colonist the gate must be unlocked and the colonist permitted entry within 5 minutes maximum of their call to the gate. Failing to do so means colonists may let themselves in, be it through hacking the door or other means, if Blackshield do not do so. Right to Enter is a right.
* Colonists leaving through the gate, or announcing they are entering deep-maintenance, are to be reminded to turn on their suit sensors or take a death alarm implant. Blackshield personnel may not enforce this standard, but are required to advise it.

=== Gate Logging ===
All returning colonists should be noted down in this same log, as well as any incoming outsiders who have been granted entry by the Low Council. While entering all colony personnel, including Blackshield personnel, are to be searched in the gatehouse area for contraband. Colonists are to be given the chance of entering to declare any contraband on them and turn it in; if the colonist does so the contraband is to be confiscated but the colonist is NOT to be charged for its possession. Finding anything the searched person didn't announce is considered valid grounds to charge them with a §106 or §206 depending on the severity of the item in question.

[[Example_Paperwork#Gate_Log|Gate log forms can be found here. All people entering and exiting should be logged on a new line each time.]]

* The Form should show the name of the individual or group members leaving, their intended designation and a rough estimate of their return time.
* If a colonist lacks equipment such as armor, weapons or refuses to put on suit sensors, this should also be noted.

Blackshield personnel, similarly, have authority over deep maintenance operations and medical evacs pertaining to deep maintenance. While deep-maintenance is part of Blackshield jurisdiction, it may similarly be utilized by Marshals if believed to be used in a crime. Marshals may also aid Blackshield personnel in their operations within deep maintenance due to being both an internal and external security issue.

* Marshals entering deep maintenance, or aiding Blackshield personnel in Blackshield deep maintenance operations, are to adhere to Blackshield orders.
* Security forces are to operate in close proximity in deep maintenance due to its unknown nature and horrors lurking with it. Deviation from legal orders while in deep maintenance, no matter the reason, will lead to the permission of deadly force used against you and forceful detainment.
* If available, Blackshield are to coordinate deep maintenance operations with either a psionic user of its own ranks or seek aid from a Soteria empath. Other psionic colonists may be taken in as temporary volunteers at the discretion of the Blackshield department.
** Active members of the church likewise should be consulted if Blackshield feel it necessary to prevent mental breakdowns or provide comfort to the Shield force due to the horrors of deep maintence.

== Relationship with Colony Companies & Departments ==
Blackshield has various relationships and expectations with the different companies and departments found within the colony itself. These expectations and responsibilities will vary depending on individual interaction.

'''Blackshield responsibilities with Marshals:'''
* Blackshield personnel, curing any emergency, are to cooperate with the Marshal department. Defense teams organized by Blackshield and Marshals are to keep in professional communication with one another and work together.
* Blackshield may assume the role of internal security if no Marshal officers are present or if active Marshals request or permit aid. Blackshield are to act alongside Marshals if requested and if within their jurisdiction.
** Blackshield must follow Marshal SOP regarding arrests and prisoner rights when acting as internal security. Failure to do so will result in various charges dependent on violation.
** When aiding in a legal matter, such an arrest, Blackshield personnel must listen to Marshal officers. Sergeants can not pull authority over a Marshal officer, regardless of job or pay grade.
* When performing internal security work, all suspects must be warned if the Blackshield member does not have non-lethal means to subdue them. Lethal means may be used as stated in Marshal SOP however. Actively fleeing or armed suspects may be immediately met with any force necessary to subdue them in such a case.
* Contraband confiscated by Blackshield is to be turned over to the Marshal department. An exemption, however, is explosive contraband - if not used in a crime. Explosive contraband may be kept by Blackshield if recovered and placed into secure storage. All other contraband is to be turned over or placed in Marshal evidence lockers effective immediately.
* Due to Marshals and Blackshield shared-budgets, exorbitant spending may result in applicable charges to either the Commander or Sergeant if they are found to have embezzled funds or spent an unreasonable portion of the budget, such as over half of it, on unneeded purchases.
** If a Warrant Officer or Specialist is present, they are to be informed of any purchases over the cost of 5k credits.

'''Blackshield responsibilities with Prospectors:'''
* Prospectors hold the right of salvage in designated regions outside the colony. See Salvaging Rights for specified areas. The Foreman, however, may permit Blackshield to join them on expeditions or issue a permit to Blackshield to clear areas for them. Payment or salvage may be negotiated between the two teams.
* Blackshield are not to take salvage from locations covered in the colony’s Salvaging Rights claims. Blackshield may, however, use the space teleporter north of the trash beacon and retrieve salvage from maintenance.

'''Blackshield responsibilities with Soteria:'''
* Blackshield personnel, such as Corpsmen, may not assume a position over a Soteria recovery specialist, Soteria medical doctor, or Soteria researcher, if they are active and available. All injured personnel are to be handed over to them.
* Blackshield personnel, such as Corpsman, may offer to fill in for Soteria if none are present or if requested directly by Soteria.

== Medical Evacuations & Shuttle ==
Blackshield personnel are expected to perform evacuations in the field, or from deep maintenance, if a colony member is incapacitated, killed, or otherwise in life threatening danger. Blackshield are the frontline-defense of the colony and must keep its inhabitants in mind, including their safety and well-being.

* By default all colonists opt-in to allow for medical evacuation if they are injured, incapacitated, killed, or endangered. Colonists may only opt-out by directly stating to Blackshield at the gatehouse they do not wish to be retrieved if they are incapacitated or killed. Blackshield are obligated to aid any colonists in dire need outside the colony.
* Colonists who refuse to take safety precautions when leaving through the gate or to deep maintenance, such as refusing to state their destination, turning on their suit sensors, or refusing to get a death alarm implant, surrender their inherent right to be rescued by Blackshield by medical-evac.
** Blackshield may still do such medical-evacs if they choose to, but are by no means obligated to do so if the personnel requiring an evac is negligent or uncaring about safety precautions as highlighted.
* Upon rescue by medical-evacuation, the rescued colonists are to be charged 800 per-person. Additional fees may be applied within reason as well to cover Blackshield expenses, including ammo, medical supplies, or injuries sustained by Blackshield during the operation.
** Blackshield personnel found to be unfairly charging rescued people exorbitantly are subject to charges; such as a 205 Extortion charge. All fees are to be charged at the behest of a Sergeant or Commander, if available.
** Rescuing someone directly outside the gate house’s door, or directly inside the gatehouse, does not count as a medical evacuation.
** Medical-evaced colonists are to be stabilized and brought to Soteria medical, if medical or research staff are around and capable of providing treatment. If Soteria recovery specialists are active, the patient should be handed to them at the gate immediately for treatment. In the case where Soteria staffing is not capable of doing so, the Blackshield triage center may be used.
* If the Medical Evacuation shuttle is used by Blackshield personnel for recovery of a colonist, it is to be clearly and publicly announced that the shuttle is leaving. All Blackshield personnel are required to inform their department of where they are heading to using the shuttle before departure.
** The Medical Evacuation shuttle is also permitted to be used by heads of staff at low council discretion, or by Soteria personnel if announced in a timely fashion.
** The Medical Evacuation shuttle is found directly north of the Blackshield gatehouse, right near the colony’s entrance. Other shuttles may be requisitioned by Blackshield, but only in the case of a code blue or red emergency and requires low council permission.

== Blackshield Armory ==
Similar to the Marshal armory, the Blackshield armory consists of two parts. The barracks room, containing the lathe and ammo, and the secure armory back room. The front room is considered to be a normal Blackshield room that can be accessed by Blackshield personnel as needed. The secure armory behind the blast doors is the Blackshield armory, being considered a secure room - just as the Marshal armory is.
* The Blackshield armory can be accessed by both the CO and the Sergeant, holding specialized armaments and ammunition for field actions. This gear is there to be issued when required for combat purposes or in cases of emergency. All gear within it should only be issued to Blackshield personnel and should be returned to the armory at the end of the shift.
* While the Premier, Marshal WO and Supply Specialist have access to the Blackshield armory they are not to use said access unless in an emergency situation or upon the request of Blackshield personnel over security concerns. Even when accessed by either person the issued equipment may not be issued to anyone but Blackshield personnel. Violation of this can result in either 411 or 508 charges levied against the offender.
* The Blackshield armory falls under the jurisdiction of the CO. If no CO is present, authority over the Blackshield armory falls to the Sergeant. The CO may also delegate authority over the issuing of gear from the armory to the Sergeant.
** Equipment from the Blackshield armory may be loaned to the Marshals by a CO with paperwork.
* Equipment may be traded from Blackshield’s teleporter or armory at the discretion of the Commander or Sergeant, if no commander is present.
** Trades are not to be for monetary profit however; only for a trade of goods or supplies equal or greater than the item traded.
** Blackshield may, however, provide the Marshal Supply Specialist or Warrant Officer items to sell for the joint department account. All money is to be deposited in the joint account upon sale.

Standard Operating Procedure (Marshals)

2023-03-08T23:02:35Z

Rebel0: /* Executions */

= Marshals Standard Operating Procedure =
The Marshals are the colony's main internal police enforment. Comprised of gunsmiths, police officers, investigators, and weapon specialists. The Marshals maintain a relatively elite yet limited size force within the colony, looking for skilled personnel to fill vacancies. Marshals are expected to work in close proximity to the colony's militia, the Blackshield.

In the case SOP guidelines are violated, a Warrant Officer is to review the case and consider demotion if the offense is malicious or heinous. If no Warrant Officer is present, High Council should be faxed about any findings regarding Marshal or Blackshield violation of SOP.

Blackshield personnel, if acting as an arresting officer, '''must''' follow Marshal SOP guidelines.

All Marshal personnel MUST be:
Able bodied.
Not serving a current criminal sentence.
‘Relatively’ clean record.
Low to Medium security risk.

== General Duties & Guidelines ==
* On code green all arrests the warrant must be authorized by either the premier, warrant officer, supply specialist, or ranger to be considered valid. In the absence of all the stated jobs a marshal officer may use his own signature and fax the high council should he do so. Failure to have a warrant during an arrest will lead to the offending officer being fined, charged, and/or potentially fired for multiple violations of the colony's Laws.
** The Warrant Assist program may be used to place warrants and act upon them. If a crime, however, is committed in front of an officer they may use reasonable cause and detain the person. A warrant is still to be filed later, such as after processing, in the case of direct witness to a crime.
** Note that this only applies to arrest warrants. Search warrants are required to be written, signed or stamped, before the search is conducted. Failure to do so will result in all charges being dropped.
* During an investigation witnesses may be interviewed to support physical evidence gained. Impartial witnesses, such as those with nothing reasonable to gain for such testimony nor relation to either victim nor offender, are desired to support a case. The investigator/arresting officer may do this with their own witness testimony as well, if they observe a crime being committed.
* When confronting a suspect is brought in for any green paragraph crime, you must offer the suspect a chance to pay a fine. If the fine is paid, they are to be released from brig as time-spent, unless otherwise specified by Laws. The fine is to be turned in to the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist. If the fine is refused, they are to be brigged.
* When arresting or fining a suspect, they are entitled to have their case reviewed by the premier, or lack thereof, any member of the council willing to do so by volunteer. If there is no one capable of reviewing their case, they may still attempt to appeal on their own. Regardless of what type of appeal is made, the suspect is still to be punished until the punishment expires or the appeal passes.
* Refusal of handcuffs does not constitute resisting arrest, as per Laws §202. If a suspect refuses handcuffs and is being arrested, but is cooperative, they are to be escorted to brig. Refusal however to follow legal order may be considered resisting arrest, such as refusing to sit down in an interrogation room or acting otherwise unruly. Attempting to cuff a compliant subject is considered a §117 violation of employee rights.
** If you cannot handcuff someone that requires cuffs, such as they are using a deployed hardsuit or have a missing hand, you must warn them at least three times to comply with the arrest. If they continue to refuse after the third warning is given marshal personnel and only marshal personnel may subdue and detain them by any necessary means. If death occurs due to the force used, Marshal officers may not be charged for any wrongdoing.
** Races that are immune to non-lethal stun based weaponry are to have flashes or pepperspray deployed against them. If they continue to refuse to comply, or if these non-lethal means do not effect them, a verbal warning should be given that continued resistance will result in lethal force to subdue the suspect. After the warning, or if they attempt to flee, lethal force may be administered as deemed necessary.
* When confronting an armed suspect, always call for additional backup, preferably prior to the engagement. If the suspect draws a weapon, already has a weapon in their hands, or has used a weapon already, use of lethal force is immediately authorized and you are not required to announce intentions to arrest until after they are subdued.
** No matter the loaded ammo of a ballistic firearm, fire-mode an energy weapon, or mode of a possibly lethal hand-weapon, all firearms are to be treated as if they are loaded with lethals and being used with lethal intent. A gun loaded with rubbers, or an energy gun on tase firemode, are still to be treated as a firearm capable of lethal intent.
* If a suspect uses a mech to resist arrest, lethal force is automatically authorized.
* If a suspect escapes the colony, lethal force is authorized for any personnel within the marshals or blackshield who attempt to pursue. Blackshield are to be notified to find the suspect. Shoot-on-sight may be granted to them if deemed necessary.
* In terms of dealing with genetically enhanced colonists, Marshals are to switch to lethals if they are too problematic to take down by normal means. This includes illegal genetics such as hulk genes or other extreme body-altering genetics.
* A Warrant Officer may deem an offender of a capital crime as too dangerous for revival and issue a ‘DNR’ - Do Not Revive - order. If the council wishes to override a DNR order, they must vote to do so or the Warrant Officer must be changed for abusing their authority. If a DNR order is overturned, the offender is to be revived.
** DNR orders are to be used sparingly. Only offenders who have either attempted to escape HUT and died in the process or capital offenders, such as active murderers or terrorists that may risk the well being of others if revived despite containment, are the only colonists who may have a DNR order put upon them.
** Colony members violating a DNR order are to be arrested as a collaborator in whatever crime the offender has committed. I.e - if a doctor knowingly revives a DNR offender charged with terrorism, the doctor is to be charged as aiding in the crime.

== Evidence, Contraband & Confiscated Weapons ==
Objects confiscated as evidence of a crime, including any confiscated weapons and contraband, are to remain in evidence lockers after confiscation from the offender. In the case of a firearm being confiscated a record is to be made of the gun’s model and serial number on the arrest case-file or incident report.

During a state of emergency, such as code blue or higher, a Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist may issue contraband or guns confiscated as evidence to security personnel to defend the colony. Paperwork should be done listing the officer using the contraband or weapon, the name of the colonist the weapon was taken from, and the serial number - if applicable. After the end of the emergency the gun must be returned to evidence.

Evidence in any previous or ongoing arrest must not, under any circumstances, be broken down for materials or otherwise destroyed. Doing so may result in Providing False Evidence or Testimony (303) charges.

Contraband collected that is not involved in an arrest may be broken down as it is not evidence of a crime.

== Secure areas ==
* In code green, secure areas like the AI core, research server room, telecommunications, bridge, all armories (security, bridge, and church) etc, should never be blocked. Use of deployable barriers to block areas during code green is considered illegal under Laws §307. Trespassing in these areas is covered under §309 or 508.
All armories are considered secure areas and have their own section SOP. '''Trespassers may be shot lethally on sight upon entering.'''
* The AI may not bolt its core down without an order to do so by the Chief Research Overseer or in the case of an emergency. The AI must obey orders from Low Council personnel to enter if needed, unless in the case doing so would aid a criminal. AIs that disobey orders as such are to be carded or, if force is used against officers, the AI is to be destroyed.
* The research server room has a variety of sensitive information. Unauthorized personnel in this location are to be captured, searched, and interrogated before being charged and sentenced.
* The brig is considered a high security area. Unauthorized personnel attempting to break in, or any "Hold until Transfer" inmates attempting to break out, are both to be shot on sight with lethal force.
* The telecomms is a highly sensitive area that provides vital communications among the crew and to the high council, thus any unauthorized personnel who have accessed the control room are shoot-to-kill.

== Prisoner Processing & Rights ==

Criminal processing should not take more than a few minutes at most. Don't needlessly waste time with additional questioning and interrogation until they're already properly arrested. Detained prisoners are the responsibility of the arresting officer or, if one volunteers, another officer, the supply specialist, or the warrant officer.

When an offender is officially charged and is to be brigged, the responsibility shifts to the Supply Specialist to oversee prisoner brigging and the application of the decided timer on the cell computer.

* Prisoners are to have all gear placed within the locker.
* Timers and modifiers are to be input into the cell timer and are not to include time spent in processing or detainment.
* Prisoners, if uncooperative, wearing an improper uniform - such as demoted personnel - or otherwise unruly, should be transferred into prisoner clothing found within the locker in each cell.
* Prisoners who pose a risk to themselves or others, such as through suicide attempts or violent outbrusts, should be moved to a solitary confinement cell.

'''The time you took for bringing the suspect in and the time you spend questioning are NOT to be calculated into this. This is the pure time someone spends in a cell staring at the wall.'''

* Prisoners are entitled to swift processing when being arrested and put into the brig. Processing is not to take an unreasonable amount of time, such as exceeding the timer of the crime they are being put in for.
** The Low Council may determine when processing becomes unreasonable time-wise. In cases of excessive processing, charges should be dropped. This does not count, however, if a voting council member is one of those charged. This should be appealed to the High Council via fax.
* Prisoners are entitled to speak to the premier or volunteer council member for legal defense if requested.
* Prisoners are entitled to food and water if requested.
* Prisoners have the right to maintain communication devices, such as PDAs or radio headsets. These, however, may be revoked by the authority of a Supply Specialist or Warrant Officer in the case of a security threat or due to the abuse of said communications to disturb the peace of normal colonists.
* All of the prisoner’s belongings, that are not evidence in a case, should be placed into a respective jail cell for them to recover upon release. Personal property not considered evidence must be returned upon release.
* Prisoners have the right to use the fax machine within brig freely; so long as the machine is used responsibly.
* Prisoners who are injured have the right to treatment by certified personnel. Minor injuries are to be treated in the brig, such as bruising, burns, or non-life threatening injuries. In the case of major injuries, such as an injury requiring surgery or being possibly life-threatening, the prisoner is to be moved to Soteria for treatment.
* Prisoners hold the right to have visitors if their timer is over 25 minutes and if security levels permit. Security may suspend this right on code Blue or Red alert levels. Similarly, security must allow at least one visitor for the prisoner but may limit how many may visit. Visitors should be disarmed of any tools or weapons that could aid the prisoner. These tools or weapons should be returned after the visitation period.
* All prisoners are entitled to safe and reasonable cell accommodations such as functional lighting, a place to sleep, and access to the brig's communal area if serving a sentence longer than 25 minutes.

== Executions ==
Upon low council approval, executions are to start shortly after the vote is held. The prisoner, however, is not to be executed within 15 minutes of the decision unless the high council sends back approval for proceedings to continue. This is done to give a chance of high council review; allowing a hold on execution. Once this 15 minute period has ended, '''execution procedures are to begin.'''

* The prisoner is informed of their punishment and is to be provided the decision of their preferred execution method. The normally permitted options include lethal injection, firing squad, asphyxiation, or cyborgification. Other methods may be permitted but are at the discretion of the Lower Council.
* The prisoner may request a last meal. If requested, personnel are obligated to serve one to the prisoner unless deemed excessive by the Lower Council.
* Final requests are to be taken, but are not obligated to act upon if deemed unreasonable by Lower Council.
* The prisoner is escorted to the execution location under heavily armed guards and is restrained.
** In the case of lethal injection, the prisoner is to be moved to Soteria for the procedure to begin.
** In the case of firing squads, the prisoner is to be moved to the firing range. Security personnel should be armed lethally to ensure a quick death.
** In the case of asphyxiation, the prisoner is to be moved to either a secure location at Guild capable of oxygen deprivation, or other means asphyxiation, or moved to Soteria for controlled tank-usage.
** In the case of cyborgification, the prisoner is to be moved to Soteria and their brain removed. After removal the brain should be put into an MMI and shackled to a lawed AI.
* It is required for the premier and at least three council members to be present, or else an execution may not proceed.

== Marshal Armory ==
The Marshal armory is divided into two sections - the public shop area and the storage area. Everything in the room behind the shop is the storage area. The shop has two sections, the secure area behind the windows that allows access to the display cases and front-room storage, and that of the public area in front of the desk and on the non-windoor side of the display cases. Unless asked to leave or banned from the armory shop, the public shop area is publicly accessible to anyone providing the blast doors are open. Any colonist may buy, sell or trade with the appropriate authorities there. Behind the desk is considered, similar to the armory, a secure area.

* In regards to the storage area of the armory, the Supply Specialist is the controller of the armory. When it comes to the armory, the Supply Specialist’s word is law. The Supply Specialist is responsible for handing out weapons, keeping everything stocked and inventoried, and running the shop. While the Warrant Officer, Commander and Sergeant may have access, the Supply Specialist is to be respected. If they tell you to leave, you leave. Failure to comply leaves you open to legal ramifications such as abuse of powers, grand trespass or other charges that may be levied.
* In case of a weapon request from Marshals/Blackshield, the Supply Specialist must always utilize paperwork that determines what was removed from the Armory. The weapon that gets replaced should also be noted on the paperwork and handed in with all ammo.
* In case of selling items from the armory proper, the Supply Specialist is to keep a receipt on what item(s) were sold and how many credits were made. Any loans to individual Marshals, Blackshield department, or other individuals, are to be kept track of through written receipts. Copies are to be kept by the Supply Specialist or Warrant Officer.
* If no Supply Specialist is present or available, the rank order of ownership goes to the Warrant Officer. If no Warrant Officer is present a CO, Sergeant or Premier may access the armory but only in exceptional situations; such as the need to arm other Marshals in an emergency situation. The marshal armory is not a play-thing.
** Under normal circumstances no equipment should be handed out for free to non-marshal department staff.
* In a Code-Red scenario, the armory should be fully utilized and weapons should be handed out to Marshal officers first, volunteers of Blackshield second and colonists last. These should be returned when the crisis is over or else the individual may face legal consequences. Abusing access, authority or carelessly using the resources is a reason for demotion under charges 405.
* The Department Account is trusted to the Supply Specialist to use, as well as the Warrant Officer, Blackshield CO, and Blackshield Sergeant. All personnel in these positions are trusted to use the finances responsibly to upgrade or equip the department as required. This may include purchasing weapons, allowing loans for equipment, and so on for members of the Marshal and Blackshield department.
* Due to Marshals and Blackshield shared-budgets, exorbitant spending may result in applicable charges to either the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist if they are found to have embezzled funds or spent an unreasonable portion of the budget, such as over half of it, on unneeded purchases.
** If a Commander or Sergeant is present, they are to be informed of any purchases over the cost of 5k credits.
* Blackshield may provide gear from their teleporter or armory for a Supply Specialist or Warrant Officer to sell for profit. All profits from these sales must go into the joint department bank account. Failure to do so will be considered theft or grand theft, depending on the value of said item.

Abusing access, authority or carelessly using the resources is a reason for demotion under charges 405.
* The Department Account is trusted to the Supply Specialist to use, as well as the Warrant Officer, Blackshield CO, and Blackshield Sergeant. All personnel in these positions are trusted to use the finances responsibly to upgrade or equip the department as required. This may include purchasing weapons, allowing loans for equipment, and so on for members of the Marshal and Blackshield department.
* Due to Marshals and Blackshield shared-budgets, exorbitant spending may result in applicable charges to either the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist if they are found to have embezzled funds or spent an unreasonable portion of the budget, such as over half of it, on unneeded purchases.
** If a Commander or Sergeant is present, they are to be informed of any purchases over the cost of 5k credits.
* Blackshield may provide gear from their teleporter or armory for a Supply Specialist or Warrant Officer to sell for profit. All profits from these sales must go into the joint department bank account. Failure to do so will be considered theft or grand theft, depending on the value of said item.

Standard Operating Procedure (Marshals)

2023-03-08T23:01:59Z

Rebel0: Marsal SOP page creation

= Marshals Standard Operating Procedure =
The Marshals are the colony's main internal police enforment. Comprised of gunsmiths, police officers, investigators, and weapon specialists. The Marshals maintain a relatively elite yet limited size force within the colony, looking for skilled personnel to fill vacancies. Marshals are expected to work in close proximity to the colony's militia, the Blackshield.

In the case SOP guidelines are violated, a Warrant Officer is to review the case and consider demotion if the offense is malicious or heinous. If no Warrant Officer is present, High Council should be faxed about any findings regarding Marshal or Blackshield violation of SOP.

Blackshield personnel, if acting as an arresting officer, '''must''' follow Marshal SOP guidelines.

All Marshal personnel MUST be:
Able bodied.
Not serving a current criminal sentence.
‘Relatively’ clean record.
Low to Medium security risk.

== General Duties & Guidelines ==
* On code green all arrests the warrant must be authorized by either the premier, warrant officer, supply specialist, or ranger to be considered valid. In the absence of all the stated jobs a marshal officer may use his own signature and fax the high council should he do so. Failure to have a warrant during an arrest will lead to the offending officer being fined, charged, and/or potentially fired for multiple violations of the colony's Laws.
** The Warrant Assist program may be used to place warrants and act upon them. If a crime, however, is committed in front of an officer they may use reasonable cause and detain the person. A warrant is still to be filed later, such as after processing, in the case of direct witness to a crime.
** Note that this only applies to arrest warrants. Search warrants are required to be written, signed or stamped, before the search is conducted. Failure to do so will result in all charges being dropped.
* During an investigation witnesses may be interviewed to support physical evidence gained. Impartial witnesses, such as those with nothing reasonable to gain for such testimony nor relation to either victim nor offender, are desired to support a case. The investigator/arresting officer may do this with their own witness testimony as well, if they observe a crime being committed.
* When confronting a suspect is brought in for any green paragraph crime, you must offer the suspect a chance to pay a fine. If the fine is paid, they are to be released from brig as time-spent, unless otherwise specified by Laws. The fine is to be turned in to the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist. If the fine is refused, they are to be brigged.
* When arresting or fining a suspect, they are entitled to have their case reviewed by the premier, or lack thereof, any member of the council willing to do so by volunteer. If there is no one capable of reviewing their case, they may still attempt to appeal on their own. Regardless of what type of appeal is made, the suspect is still to be punished until the punishment expires or the appeal passes.
* Refusal of handcuffs does not constitute resisting arrest, as per Laws §202. If a suspect refuses handcuffs and is being arrested, but is cooperative, they are to be escorted to brig. Refusal however to follow legal order may be considered resisting arrest, such as refusing to sit down in an interrogation room or acting otherwise unruly. Attempting to cuff a compliant subject is considered a §117 violation of employee rights.
** If you cannot handcuff someone that requires cuffs, such as they are using a deployed hardsuit or have a missing hand, you must warn them at least three times to comply with the arrest. If they continue to refuse after the third warning is given marshal personnel and only marshal personnel may subdue and detain them by any necessary means. If death occurs due to the force used, Marshal officers may not be charged for any wrongdoing.
** Races that are immune to non-lethal stun based weaponry are to have flashes or pepperspray deployed against them. If they continue to refuse to comply, or if these non-lethal means do not effect them, a verbal warning should be given that continued resistance will result in lethal force to subdue the suspect. After the warning, or if they attempt to flee, lethal force may be administered as deemed necessary.
* When confronting an armed suspect, always call for additional backup, preferably prior to the engagement. If the suspect draws a weapon, already has a weapon in their hands, or has used a weapon already, use of lethal force is immediately authorized and you are not required to announce intentions to arrest until after they are subdued.
** No matter the loaded ammo of a ballistic firearm, fire-mode an energy weapon, or mode of a possibly lethal hand-weapon, all firearms are to be treated as if they are loaded with lethals and being used with lethal intent. A gun loaded with rubbers, or an energy gun on tase firemode, are still to be treated as a firearm capable of lethal intent.
* If a suspect uses a mech to resist arrest, lethal force is automatically authorized.
* If a suspect escapes the colony, lethal force is authorized for any personnel within the marshals or blackshield who attempt to pursue. Blackshield are to be notified to find the suspect. Shoot-on-sight may be granted to them if deemed necessary.
* In terms of dealing with genetically enhanced colonists, Marshals are to switch to lethals if they are too problematic to take down by normal means. This includes illegal genetics such as hulk genes or other extreme body-altering genetics.
* A Warrant Officer may deem an offender of a capital crime as too dangerous for revival and issue a ‘DNR’ - Do Not Revive - order. If the council wishes to override a DNR order, they must vote to do so or the Warrant Officer must be changed for abusing their authority. If a DNR order is overturned, the offender is to be revived.
** DNR orders are to be used sparingly. Only offenders who have either attempted to escape HUT and died in the process or capital offenders, such as active murderers or terrorists that may risk the well being of others if revived despite containment, are the only colonists who may have a DNR order put upon them.
** Colony members violating a DNR order are to be arrested as a collaborator in whatever crime the offender has committed. I.e - if a doctor knowingly revives a DNR offender charged with terrorism, the doctor is to be charged as aiding in the crime.

== Evidence, Contraband & Confiscated Weapons ==
Objects confiscated as evidence of a crime, including any confiscated weapons and contraband, are to remain in evidence lockers after confiscation from the offender. In the case of a firearm being confiscated a record is to be made of the gun’s model and serial number on the arrest case-file or incident report.

During a state of emergency, such as code blue or higher, a Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist may issue contraband or guns confiscated as evidence to security personnel to defend the colony. Paperwork should be done listing the officer using the contraband or weapon, the name of the colonist the weapon was taken from, and the serial number - if applicable. After the end of the emergency the gun must be returned to evidence.

Evidence in any previous or ongoing arrest must not, under any circumstances, be broken down for materials or otherwise destroyed. Doing so may result in Providing False Evidence or Testimony (303) charges.

Contraband collected that is not involved in an arrest may be broken down as it is not evidence of a crime.

== Secure areas ==
* In code green, secure areas like the AI core, research server room, telecommunications, bridge, all armories (security, bridge, and church) etc, should never be blocked. Use of deployable barriers to block areas during code green is considered illegal under Laws §307. Trespassing in these areas is covered under §309 or 508.
All armories are considered secure areas and have their own section SOP. '''Trespassers may be shot lethally on sight upon entering.'''
* The AI may not bolt its core down without an order to do so by the Chief Research Overseer or in the case of an emergency. The AI must obey orders from Low Council personnel to enter if needed, unless in the case doing so would aid a criminal. AIs that disobey orders as such are to be carded or, if force is used against officers, the AI is to be destroyed.
* The research server room has a variety of sensitive information. Unauthorized personnel in this location are to be captured, searched, and interrogated before being charged and sentenced.
* The brig is considered a high security area. Unauthorized personnel attempting to break in, or any "Hold until Transfer" inmates attempting to break out, are both to be shot on sight with lethal force.
* The telecomms is a highly sensitive area that provides vital communications among the crew and to the high council, thus any unauthorized personnel who have accessed the control room are shoot-to-kill.

== Prisoner Processing & Rights ==

Criminal processing should not take more than a few minutes at most. Don't needlessly waste time with additional questioning and interrogation until they're already properly arrested. Detained prisoners are the responsibility of the arresting officer or, if one volunteers, another officer, the supply specialist, or the warrant officer.

When an offender is officially charged and is to be brigged, the responsibility shifts to the Supply Specialist to oversee prisoner brigging and the application of the decided timer on the cell computer.

* Prisoners are to have all gear placed within the locker.
* Timers and modifiers are to be input into the cell timer and are not to include time spent in processing or detainment.
* Prisoners, if uncooperative, wearing an improper uniform - such as demoted personnel - or otherwise unruly, should be transferred into prisoner clothing found within the locker in each cell.
* Prisoners who pose a risk to themselves or others, such as through suicide attempts or violent outbrusts, should be moved to a solitary confinement cell.

''The time you took for bringing the suspect in and the time you spend questioning are NOT to be calculated into this. This is the pure time someone spends in a cell staring at the wall.''

* Prisoners are entitled to swift processing when being arrested and put into the brig. Processing is not to take an unreasonable amount of time, such as exceeding the timer of the crime they are being put in for.
** The Low Council may determine when processing becomes unreasonable time-wise. In cases of excessive processing, charges should be dropped. This does not count, however, if a voting council member is one of those charged. This should be appealed to the High Council via fax.
* Prisoners are entitled to speak to the premier or volunteer council member for legal defense if requested.
* Prisoners are entitled to food and water if requested.
* Prisoners have the right to maintain communication devices, such as PDAs or radio headsets. These, however, may be revoked by the authority of a Supply Specialist or Warrant Officer in the case of a security threat or due to the abuse of said communications to disturb the peace of normal colonists.
* All of the prisoner’s belongings, that are not evidence in a case, should be placed into a respective jail cell for them to recover upon release. Personal property not considered evidence must be returned upon release.
* Prisoners have the right to use the fax machine within brig freely; so long as the machine is used responsibly.
* Prisoners who are injured have the right to treatment by certified personnel. Minor injuries are to be treated in the brig, such as bruising, burns, or non-life threatening injuries. In the case of major injuries, such as an injury requiring surgery or being possibly life-threatening, the prisoner is to be moved to Soteria for treatment.
* Prisoners hold the right to have visitors if their timer is over 25 minutes and if security levels permit. Security may suspend this right on code Blue or Red alert levels. Similarly, security must allow at least one visitor for the prisoner but may limit how many may visit. Visitors should be disarmed of any tools or weapons that could aid the prisoner. These tools or weapons should be returned after the visitation period.
* All prisoners are entitled to safe and reasonable cell accommodations such as functional lighting, a place to sleep, and access to the brig's communal area if serving a sentence longer than 25 minutes.

== Executions ==
Upon low council approval, executions are to start shortly after the vote is held. The prisoner, however, is not to be executed within 15 minutes of the decision unless the high council sends back approval for proceedings to continue. This is done to give a chance of high council review; allowing a hold on execution. Once this 15 minute period has ended, '''execution procedures are to begin.'''

* The prisoner is informed of their punishment and is to be provided the decision of their preferred execution method. The normally permitted options include lethal injection, firing squad, asphyxiation, or cyborgification. Other methods may be permitted but are at the discretion of the Lower Council.
* The prisoner may request a last meal. If requested, personnel are obligated to serve one to the prisoner unless deemed excessive by the Lower Council.
* Final requests are to be taken, but are not obligated to act upon if deemed unreasonable by Lower Council.
* The prisoner is escorted to the execution location under heavily armed guards and is restrained.
** In the case of lethal injection, the prisoner is to be moved to Soteria for the procedure to begin.
** In the case of firing squads, the prisoner is to be moved to the firing range. Security personnel should be armed lethally to ensure a quick death.
** In the case of asphyxiation, the prisoner is to be moved to either a secure location at Guild capable of oxygen deprivation, or other means asphyxiation, or moved to Soteria for controlled tank-usage.
** In the case of cyborgification, the prisoner is to be moved to Soteria and their brain removed. After removal the brain should be put into an MMI and shackled to a lawed AI.
** It is required for the premier and at least three council members to be present, or else an execution may not proceed.

== Marshal Armory ==
The Marshal armory is divided into two sections - the public shop area and the storage area. Everything in the room behind the shop is the storage area. The shop has two sections, the secure area behind the windows that allows access to the display cases and front-room storage, and that of the public area in front of the desk and on the non-windoor side of the display cases. Unless asked to leave or banned from the armory shop, the public shop area is publicly accessible to anyone providing the blast doors are open. Any colonist may buy, sell or trade with the appropriate authorities there. Behind the desk is considered, similar to the armory, a secure area.

* In regards to the storage area of the armory, the Supply Specialist is the controller of the armory. When it comes to the armory, the Supply Specialist’s word is law. The Supply Specialist is responsible for handing out weapons, keeping everything stocked and inventoried, and running the shop. While the Warrant Officer, Commander and Sergeant may have access, the Supply Specialist is to be respected. If they tell you to leave, you leave. Failure to comply leaves you open to legal ramifications such as abuse of powers, grand trespass or other charges that may be levied.
* In case of a weapon request from Marshals/Blackshield, the Supply Specialist must always utilize paperwork that determines what was removed from the Armory. The weapon that gets replaced should also be noted on the paperwork and handed in with all ammo.
* In case of selling items from the armory proper, the Supply Specialist is to keep a receipt on what item(s) were sold and how many credits were made. Any loans to individual Marshals, Blackshield department, or other individuals, are to be kept track of through written receipts. Copies are to be kept by the Supply Specialist or Warrant Officer.
* If no Supply Specialist is present or available, the rank order of ownership goes to the Warrant Officer. If no Warrant Officer is present a CO, Sergeant or Premier may access the armory but only in exceptional situations; such as the need to arm other Marshals in an emergency situation. The marshal armory is not a play-thing.
** Under normal circumstances no equipment should be handed out for free to non-marshal department staff.
* In a Code-Red scenario, the armory should be fully utilized and weapons should be handed out to Marshal officers first, volunteers of Blackshield second and colonists last. These should be returned when the crisis is over or else the individual may face legal consequences. Abusing access, authority or carelessly using the resources is a reason for demotion under charges 405.
* The Department Account is trusted to the Supply Specialist to use, as well as the Warrant Officer, Blackshield CO, and Blackshield Sergeant. All personnel in these positions are trusted to use the finances responsibly to upgrade or equip the department as required. This may include purchasing weapons, allowing loans for equipment, and so on for members of the Marshal and Blackshield department.
* Due to Marshals and Blackshield shared-budgets, exorbitant spending may result in applicable charges to either the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist if they are found to have embezzled funds or spent an unreasonable portion of the budget, such as over half of it, on unneeded purchases.
** If a Commander or Sergeant is present, they are to be informed of any purchases over the cost of 5k credits.
* Blackshield may provide gear from their teleporter or armory for a Supply Specialist or Warrant Officer to sell for profit. All profits from these sales must go into the joint department bank account. Failure to do so will be considered theft or grand theft, depending on the value of said item.

Standard Operating Procedure (Soteria Research)

2023-03-08T22:43:56Z

Rebel0: Soteria Research SOP Creation

= Soteria Research Division =
Soteria Research Division Standard Operating Procedure is to be followed by all Soteria personnel upon stepping foot into Soteria’s research wing. Lifeline techs, medical doctors, and others utilizing research areas or machines are obligated to follow all SOP listed in this section as if it were their own.

Similarly, Soteria research personnel entering or aiding with any medical treatments, such as in the case of emergency, are to adhere to all Soteria medical SOP when utilizing or otherwise within their department.

== Right to Terminate Research ==
Any research project done by Soteria may be halted by Blackshield or Marshals at their discretion, as long as it fits under the pretense of being a ‘dangerous’ or ‘unusual’ project that can endanger the colony as a whole. Examples of projects that may be shutdown include bluespace teleportation that causes high entropy and adverse side effects around the colony, or the creation of hostile abominations in genetics. Research that is not reasonably dangerous, such as anomaly research that is properly contained, would not be viable to be shut down. The Low Council may, similarly, vote to halt unethical, dangerous, or otherwise unusual research.

Paperwork is required to be provided by the department after a research halt is ordered. Failure to obey this termination of research may result in applicable charges.

== Cyborg Handling ==

* In cases where Cyborgs are confirmed to be malfunctioning, the cyborg shell may be detonated if attempts to contain and lock down the malfunctioning unit are unsuccessful or deemed too dangerous by acting Soteria Institute Overseers.
* Cyborgs that are illegally modified are to be remotely locked down. If unable to be locked down, its sensors are to be overloaded with a flash or controlled EMP and its actuator or cell removed before resorting to detonation.
* In cases where destruction of the Cyborg is necessary, the acting CRO must fax a report to the High Council.

== Changing Silicon Laws ==
* Soteria’s Chief Research Officer has the right to change cyborg laws and rulings so long as the Chief Biolab Officer agrees to such modifications.
* In emergency situations, the Low Council may elect to change laws. In non-emergency situations, a unanimous vote from the low council is required to modify AI laws.
* Modifying AI laws to violate privacy rights, break laws, or otherwise harm colonists will result in the Chief Research Officer, or other personnel tasked with changing the law, being charged as having committed said crimes.

== Waiver Clause ==
Any sapient being who volunteers for experimentation must sign a waiver absolving the scientist of all responsibility for any injuries, deaths, or associated damage to the individual, regardless of the purpose of that experiment. Failure to obtain a waiver will result in a 'negligence' charge for the test subject and for any involved Soteria personnel.

== Genetics Research ==
The following procedures are to be followed at all times and by both Soteria medical and Soteria research staff when manning the genetics wing. Failure may result in legal action.

'''Genetic cloning:'''
* Always ensure that the containment pens are in perfect condition and, if cloning extremely dangerous creatures, reinforced if possible.
Soteria researchers are able to genetically clone any and all creatures save for the Hivemind and the Leviathan class entities: Xenomorph Queen, the Kaiser roach, and the Reaper spider. The Croaker lord, while a Leviathan class entity, is excluded and can be freely cloned. The Marshals and Blackshield have the power to shut down cloning experiments on specific creatures if they are believed to be too dangerous.
** When it comes to genetically cloning the Leviathan class entities, permission must be sought from the CRO or CBO, who will inform the rest of the Council or necessary security forces that it will be occurring. If neither are on duty, permission can be acquired from the Council.
* If cloning subjects escape pens and enter public colony areas, the scientist responsible for their creation is liable for all damages (property, colonists, etc) caused.

'''Genetic Experimentation:'''
* Individuals coming to Soteria for specific genetic splices are to both sign a waiver and pay Soteria for services. If an individual supplies their own creatures containing their desired trait, a discount of up to 50% depending on the creatures and their lethality may be applied.
** Prices for genetic splicing vary depending on what trait is desired but can go from 500 credits to 1,500, depending on the gene's rarity and availability. It can also be 'free' if the patient is willing to be experimented on in regards to that trait.
All individuals that are released while genetically enhanced are to be documented by Soteria, with copies sent to the Marshals in the event that said individual commits a crime.
* In the instance that a genetically enhanced colonist is arrested by Marshals, Soteria is to provide the Marshals with a purger to fully wipe out their genetic enhancements. Soteria is not responsible for what colonists do after they legally go through the process of getting themselves genetically modified. Marshals and Blackshield may bar a colonist from receiving further genetics work at their discretion.

Standard Operating Procedure (General)

2023-03-08T22:35:40Z

Rebel0: Creation of General SOP Page

= General Standard Operating Procedure =
General Standard Operating Procedure refers, specially, to general standards that apply to all colonists and employees alike. Including how to act during alert levels, individual rights of colonists, and how foreign factions or organizations are to be treated by all colonists. Violation of these rights and standards may result in charges, if applicable.

== Colony Labor Rights ==
As per the conditions of the Nadezhda Declaration of Sentient Rights, all employees are granted specific legally afforded rights as colonists in the city of Nadezhda.

* All colony citizens have the right to work, free choice of employment, just and favorable conditions of work, and to protection against unemployment. An employee, barring an emergency, cannot be forced into a position they do not wish to volunteer for.
* All colony citizens, without any discrimination, have the right to equal pay for equal work. Any colonist may not be denied employment nor a decreased salary based on their race, species, ethnicity, or gender.
* All colony citizens who work have the right to payment via colony issued credits in exchange for their labor. Any non-credit payments must be agreed to by both parties without coercion, distress, or threat of lower wages.
* All employees within the colony have the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitations of working hours. Employees, as long as their job needs are being fulfilled, may take time off as deemed fit. Employees who fail to perform satisfactory work standards, such as ignoring work, are not protected by this clause.
* Each faction has the right to fire an employee for a valid reason, repeated termination may result in a temporary or indefinite suspension. Repeat offenders may be barred from further work in said departments. Any demotion by a head of staff is to be faxed to their High Council member to be considered legal.
** [[Job_Strikes_and_You|(Job strikes may be applied upon firing at the discretion of staff members.)]]

Violation of employee labor rights is punishable under Laws §103.

== Colony Privacy Rights ==
Under normal colony operation, the invasion of private areas such as locked dorms, bathrooms, personal offices, personal belongings, personal lockers, or other personal space is highly illegal without consent of the owner or a search warrant. Illegal items, such as thermal goggles without a warrant, counts not only as the use of illegal contraband but also a violation of privacy if used in such a way.

All employees are recommended to let their head of staff know about their whereabouts or if they decide to take a break and for how long. An employee going or on a break never has to reveal their location, unless they decide to leave the colony.

=== Medical Privacy Rights ===
An unconscious person that called for help previously or is showing a medical emergency on suit sensors (including death) always and automatically consents to their location being made public information unless stated otherwise by the victim party.

Any deceased bodies recovered are to be transported via body bags if available to avoid trauma caused by such a sight on other employees.

Unless a colonist consents to their information being shared, such as by permission or using a death alarm implant, no one is allowed to notify another colonist of the injured colonists medical status. Soteria Medical Personnel and Corpsman are excluded from this providing it is done in a private location or on a medical channel. This may be extended to other colonists capable of treating a person in the medical facilities, however the location and radio channel previously mentioned still apply. The only person that should be contacted is the relevant Head of Staff in case of serious injury or death. If a Head of Staff is seriously injured or dead other Command Members may be informed.

In the event of an unrevivable death of a colonist only the relevant Head of Staff must be informed. Otherwise post-mortem instructions are to be followed and the death should not be revealed to other colonists. A fax is to be sent to the High Council with an autopsy report attached.

Medical medical records, conditions, or other related medical issues, are never to be discussed with anyone, unless consent is provided.

Informing the Medical Team of an emergency coming in is appropriate as well as the extent of their wounds.

If a treated individual discusses their wounds and status on a public channel - namely common radio - they waive any right to medical privacy for the issue they have mentioned.

Suit sensors and locations should not be announced over any common radio, nor used to demean or supply information against a person’s character.

=== Security Privacy Rights ===
Unless a colonist consents to their information being shared, no one is allowed to discuss the crimes or alleged crimes with any other colonists. This does not apply to Marshals, but should be done in private or over security radios. Any moderate offense or higher must be shared with the relevant Head of Staff. A capital offense or case of extensive damage to departmental assets is to be reported to the relevant HC department head. This may be handled by the Marshals or another Command Member, preferring the relevant Head of Staff.

Any colonist has the right to accuse another colonist of a crime and an investigation should be launched. The accuser's name should be kept hidden and private to prevent repercussions and revenge. Any marshal or someone who has been granted the appropriate authority to deal with internal security issues (most likely a blackshield member) who fails to launch an investigation can be charged with Negligence.

You are always allowed to report a crime you witnessed even if it does not involve you, just do so privately with a Marshal. If you are not able to do so, call for a Marshal to come to you. If you are being attacked, self defense laws apply.

During interrogation a recording is required to be taken to prove the validity of statements provided and to avoid coercion or false testimony by an officer, the interviewee or reviewing staff. Interrogation tapes are to be kept private and with any case documents, only shown to reviewing members of council in the case of a trial.

While Suit Sensors may be used to look for someone who has committed a crime, they may not be called out over public communication. This rule is only dismissed if the subject is found to be a danger to themselves or others.

Any colonist charged with a crime or accused of said crime loses their right to privacy regarding the crime if they talk about it or mention/discuss it in a public forum - mainly on the common radio channel.

This privacy policy may at times be suspended for the greater security of the station crew. If heightened security alertness is abused by the command staff, such as failing to lower the alert level after an incident, or raising the alert level when there is no incident, please contact your premier as soon as possible.
Violation of employee privacy is punishable under Laws §103. Other crime charges may apply.

== Colony Dress Code ==
All colony members are to wear clothes that would classify as acceptable casual clothing. This means dressing in a reserved or acceptable manner. Exposure of oneself in an illegal manner will result in a Public Indecent charge.

Some jobs, such as Security, Medical personnel, Research personnel, and LC command staff, are required to follow the following uniform guidelines:

* Marshal and Blackshield staff are enforced to wear department specific uniforms. One may wear a non-departmental jacket, armor piece, or other clothing over their uniform - but this must be professional. Sporting darker colors and clothing typically deemed acceptable for a professional environment. An armband, such as a security armband, should be attached to any non-standard uniform jackets.
* Soteria Research and Medical staff are to wear sterile lab clothing while working in Medical's facilities. Such as in a surgery bay, genetics, virology, chemistry, or other environments that require work with biological entities, patient care, or in a possibly dangerous work environment.
* The premier and steward are required to wear their clothing while on duty, it is suggested though not enforced they wear their official uniforms.
* Failure or refusal to adhere to dress codes is valid ground for punishment up to and including termination by a head of staff or high council in the case of a premier or steward.

== Right to Leave ==
At any time, all colonists have a right to leave and a right to re-enter the colony. This right may be suspended in the case of outstanding warrants, emergency, or active lock-down procedures due to internal or external threats.

* Every Colonist has the right to enter and leave the colony through the front gate. As a note, Blackshield has the right and power to deny a colonist leave of the colony if they have reason; such as an outstanding warrant, or placed injunction barring their right to leave. Heads of staff are exempt from this unless explicitly said otherwise by either the Low Council.
** Colony members must give Blackshield time to respond to the gate upon request of it being opened. If the gate is not opened in at least 5 minutes, colonists may force the gate doors open as means to leave. Colonists doing this must report having done so due to Blackshield refusal. This clause is waived by a legal refusal of a right-to-leave as mentioned prior.
* Breaking the Gatehouse or perimeter fence without very good reason is a crime of Infiltration and Sabotage. Other such illegal forms of entering the colony is a crime of infiltration and sabotage, and possibly more depending on circumstances.
* Blackshield may search you on your way out. Blackshield is required to search you on your way in.
* If a medical-evac is performed for your recovery outside the colony, Blackshield is to charge a fee of at least 800 credits per person rescued. This does not include any medical fees charged by Soteria.

== Alert Levels ==
Alarm levels should keep in mind on-going issues. The declaration of a hivemind, for example, warrants a code red emergency. If no heads of staff are capable of modifying the alert level, the colony should still operate as if a code red was declared.

=== Code Green - All Clear ===
Default operating level. No immediate or clear threat to the colony. All departments may carry out work as normal. This alert level can be set at the Communications Console with a head of staff level ID. Privacy laws are in effect.

=== Code Blue - Potential Threat ===
Code blue scenarios can include but are not limited to:

* An active manhunt for a criminal within the colony.
* Station wide power failure.
* Station lock down or quarantine.

Notable threats outside the colony that pose a potential threat. This can include a large pack of animals, dangerous but singular animals like renders, or wildlife acting in strange and unusual ways. Code blue should only be called if the threat is ongoing and not something a single person with a rifle could solve easily.
Code blue scenarios rarely require active action by non-relevant staff and should be adhered to depending on the scenario. Heads of staff in departments that pertain to the ongoing situation should have their orders and recommendations heeded by even non-departmental personnel, such as in the case of a manhunt or medical quarantine.

During a code blue scenario or higher, acting security staff are authorized to utilize restricted items for the duration of the emergency. This may include explosives, combat mechs and other mechs rigged for combat, and other forms of Minor and Major Contraband as required to handle whatever emergency or situation has occurred.

=== Code Red - Serious Threat ===
Code red scenarios can include but are not limited to:

* Serious external or internal threats to the colony such as massive roach groupings, numerous xenomorph attacks, void wolf attacks, or large groupings of synthetic life forms.
* The appearance of a blob somewhere on the colony.
* Any sign of a hive-mind, be it radio signals or visual confirmation.
* Malfunctioning or rogue AI.
* Terran Federation activity.

Code red scenarios almost always involve the entirety of the colony and under such circumstances priority of orders is often given to the Warrant Officer, Blackshield Commander, or Premier (in order of importance). In code red scenarios colonists are considered able to volunteer for assisting the blackshield be it with combat, mechanical, or medical skills. All orders from a blackshield member to a volunteering colony member are considered valid and must be adhered to. During a code red scenario all colonists are to activate their suit sensors as an emergency precaution. Failure to do so may be considered suspicious conduct at the discretion of a Marshal. During code red, all contraband policies towards weapons, including mechs, are lifted unless otherwise stated by the commanding head of staff.

== Permits ==
=== Contraband Permits ===
Contraband permits refer to permits that allow staff who normally do not have legal protection to use an item of contraband a temporary permit to permit its use for said employee. These permits may range from permits for combat mechs, to explosives, to thermal imaging goggles and the like.

Permits for contraband may be issued by a Warrant Officer, Supply Specialist, or a Blackshield Commander if neither of the first two options are available to do so. The low council, similarly, may vote to issue a permit if they so wish. These permits may be revoked at any time for any reason by any of the issuing bodies of said permit.

Some permits may be until shift end, others may stipulate a set time period or be set to expire at the completion of a specific job or task.

=== Emergency Permits ===
In a situation which may warrant the immediate use of a contraband item, any permit distributed for utilization may be issued verbally over the radio by the warrant officer, the blackshield commander, a council vote (with a minimum of three voters), or the premier in absence of any of the previous. Terms for the permit should be clearly, understandably written and shown on the document. A permit must be signed and stamped, and faxed to the Provost Marshal after the emergency situation is resolved.

These permits are to be issued in cases such as Blue Alert, authorizing Colonists to temporarily use Thermal Imaging equipment or Combat Mecha in the event of small scale disturbances that are not major large scale colony threats. All Emergency Situation Permits expire immediately upon the situation being resolved, with no exceptions. These permits may be revoked at any point in time for any reason by the relevant authorities who may issue them, and are immediately considered null and void should the person who is issued them commits a crime.

== Foreigner Treatment ==
The authority of the Colony ends currently at the electrified fence. Laws still apply to all colonists even outside the fenced area, however they do not apply to foreigners as long as they remain outside the colony. Circumstances may change this.

=== Allied Factions / Organizations ===

Allies of the Colony are granted the same rights as normal colonists. They may enter and leave and are subject to searches at the Gatehouse, Laws and Departmental SOP. Allies of the colony are permitted to not have an ID on them. Any ally of the colony may move freely inside the colony's public areas including the bar and kitchen (customer area), which should always be accessible to them unless they commit a crime there at which point it may be applied to them. Any major or higher paragraph crime must be reported to the High Council immediately and additional measures may be taken against the person. Other injuries are to be charged accordingly. If an allied member turns hostile they are to be detained by any means necessary.

=== Neutral or Unknown Factions / Organizations ===
These factions may have been hostile in the past or their allegiances are unknown. Some neutral factions are indifferent or outright will ignore the colony. Any hostile encounter with a neutral organization is required to be reported to the high council immediately. If a hostile member of a neutral organization is taken alive they are to be treated as a Hold Until Transfer prisoner until a decision is made by the Low Council of department heads. This decision must be faxed to the High Council upon its decision.

Colonists going out of their way to potentially or purposefully harm relationships with neutral organizations may face legal charges, such as Terrorism, depending on the severity of the act committed.

If a peaceful or non-hostile neutral faction or person wishes to enter the colony, the council should be informed and are expected to make a decision within 15 minutes of the arrival. It is required that the person is searched and asked for their business inside the colony. If let in they are to be issued with a guest pass and allowed to the areas agreed upon by the lower council, such as common areas. Departmental heads may bar outsiders from their department at any time they feel fit. Stipulations may include the disarming of the individual and confiscation temporarily of specific items agreed upon by council.

=== Known Hostile Factions / Organizations ===
Unless a member of a hostile faction wishes to engage in peaceful negotiation or is surrendering, they are considered to be Shoot on Sight. This applies to unarmed non-surrendering hostiles. If their presence is known to any colonist, it should be reported to the Blackshield which in turn should alert all colonists. Increasing the alert status to blue is appropriate. A killed hostile faction member should never be revived unless there is a good reason such as thinking they have important intel or are a valuable target. A critically wounded enemy may be captured alive at the order of the highest ranking combat member or if the council decides to do so. Enemy bodies are not to be dismembered or abused - going against this order is a crime of disrespect for the dead. They may be looted freely by any colonist. Hostile bodies should be left where they were killed unless inside the colony. If they were killed inside the colony they are to be transported for burial outside the colony, Soteria’s morgue, or the crematorium run by the Church for cremation. Any captured hostile enemy, that is part of a proper hostile organization, is to be treated as a "Hold until Transfer" prisoner. The High Council is to be informed of the situation immediately for input on the ongoing situation.

Standard Operating Procedure (Prospectors)

2023-03-08T22:19:50Z

Rebel0: Prospector SOP page introduction

= Prospector Standard Operating Procedure =
Overboss Hogg has generously, with the help of Lonestar, sponsored your equipment and place to work to become a self-made man. You are supposed to make profits, while not dying. Part of your profits made are to go to the department as a whole, while the rest is to go to the individual employees within the department. A man is, in fact, entitled to the sweat of his brow - but to a limit of that they must provide for their department as well.

* Prospectors are required to advise all department members where they are heading to before leaving the colony. Failure to do so is grounds for demotion.
* If a team is possible to be formed, such as the department having available manpower, it is to be formed or its formation delegated by the Foreman. Prospectors are not to run out alone unless approved by their Foreman to do so, if additional manpower is not available - such as a lack of personnel, or if all personnel are in agreement to allow solo-operations.
*All recovered salvage is to be divided as seen fit by the members of the group. If an agreement cannot be reached between group members regarding loot share, the Foreman or Premier, if the Foreman is unavailable, should step in to mediate.
** This is to be split according to credit-worth unless Prospectors come to an individual agreement for how the haul will be split.
* Prospectors are not permitted to hoard items that are not being used. If an item is not in current use, or is not part of another prospector’s kit, it is to be sold or scrapped for profit. Small amounts of emergency gear are permitted, such as a handful of extra firearms or armor, but this is not to exceed more than 3-4 each.
* If you are in a group and a member needs to be brought back to the colony due to medical reasons, do so as soon as possible. Prospectors are not to put someone’s well being at risk for a haul, such as delaying medical care purposefully.
* Prospectors are permitted to make use of explosives outside of the colony. Prospectors are also permitted to bring explosives into the colony, but only to store for future operations, for resale to Lonestar for export, or to sell to Marshals or Blackshield. Prospectors must declare any and all explosives that are being brought in when coming through the gatehouse. Failure to do so can result in contraband charges.
* Expenses, such as medical injury, are to be paid by the department account if a Foreman is present. No prospector is to be denied coverage regarding injuries.
** The Foreman, however, may demote any prospector deemed as ‘unprofitable’. A proper record of expenses endured by the prospector must be presented in a fax upon a firing of this type to the High Council.

Standard Operating Procedure (Command)

2023-03-08T22:14:16Z

Rebel0: Creation of the Command SOP Page

= The Council =
The council is made up of each faction head of staff and the premier. A decision from the council has absolute authority and precedence over all other decisions, regulations, and rules except during a code red scenario. Members of the council are given only a small set of rules that apply during any council vote or decision.

* All Colonists must respect a decision made by the council and follow said decision. This includes even dissenting options from heads of staff. Issues with a vote can be taken to the High Council via faxes for an appeal. All low council votes are to be followed, even if contested, unless overruled by High Council or another Low Council vote.

* All heads of staff are required to vote yes or no during a decision. Any head of staff that refuses to make a decision or abstains is to be demoted on the spot. This is not negotiable, you are a leader and expected to make choices, especially hard choices. Any head of staff attempting to abstain or not vote is to be demoted on the spot.
* The Soteria overseers may only have a collective vote of one and only if both agree on the decision. This means that when the votes are tallied both overseers count as a singular vote and only if they both arrived at the same vote. If the CRO and CBO cannot come to an agreement on where they vote, they instead lose their vote entirely. The inability for them to agree is not a valid grounds for demotion of either overseer. If there is only one overseer active, they have a single vote.
* The steward does not have a vote. They are a secretary and bodyguard and while they are considered command staff.
* Heads of staff, baring the Foreman, should stay within the colony to oversee their department unless circumstances warrant travel outside of it. Examples for when this is acceptable is if departmental employees cannot handle an ongoing situation outside of the colony, if the colony itself or its inhabitants are in danger, or other issues arise warranting a head of staff to leave the colony, this must be announced to their department radio and over command channels.
* Heads, such as the Warrant Officer and Blackshield Commander, may leave the colony to lead training exercises - but must ensure all staff are properly informed and ample notice given. The council may suspend any training operations at their discretion.
* All heads of staff can use the medivac shuttle in times of crisis if there are no Blackshield nor Marshals. When using the shuttle, bring at least two other individuals with you, one to be left behind at least to guard the shuttle. If found to be using the medivac shuttle for personal reasons or reasons that do not qualify the usage of the shuttle, i.e. prospectors using it to get to locations that they scavenge from, then this can and will be charged by a §406, exceeding official powers.

== Voting Procedures ==
During a Low Council meeting, the councilors are to place their votes on the discussed topic. Every vote is valued, as multiple organizations and corporations are the lifeblood of the colony.

* For a vote to be considered valid, at least three members of the council must be present. The Premier is included in this requirement, so any two councilors plus the Premier may call a vote as well.
** The Steward does not count to this requirement. Stewards are, for all effective purposes, not considered a head of staff.
* In the event of only two councilors being present, if there is no premier to break a tie or preside over the vote, a vote will automatically fail.
* A vote may be called for a large number of reasons, but some things may not be changed by council vote. For example, you may choose to ignore colony laws or choose to ignore Standard Operating Procedure by way of a vote.
* A councilor, if only one is present, may send a requesting fax to the High Council for permission to conduct a vote on their own. In this case, the counselor should state what the vote is, why they want this vote, what this vote would change, and their own vote.
** This vote must be approved by the High Council. This means it must be sent to the High Council offices.
** An example of a situation that this style of vote may be used for is the allowance of a Foreigner (Outsider) into the colony. This vote MUST be done before allowing the Foreigner entry. In this case, they may be allowed inside without waiting for a reply of approval, so long as this is sent first. This is only applicable if there is one member of the council.
*** In the event of the Foreigner causing issues before a return fax is received, the counselor should be charged with any crimes the Foreigner committed, in addition to 301, 'Negligence.' If a reply is received to deny this Foreigner entry into the colony, they should be expelled without consequence to the councilor unless the Foreigner caused problems.

== The Premier ==
The Premier is to be a interdepartmental mediator, seeking out ways to please both sides of an argument. Their goal is to use their mediation abilities to call for meetings, aid heads of staff in holding colony law and SOP to the proper standards, and act as an arbitrator in cases of emergency or importance.

* The Premier may not vote during a council vote. They are to act as a mediator. In the case of a tie during a council vote, however, the premier may act as a tiebreaker; ruling in favor of the side they deem correct.
* The Premier may VETO any vote the council makes, for any reason. This includes votes that they call to be made, which is within their power to do so.
* The Premier's veto considers the vote to automatically result in a 'no' vote. This may not be overturned unless a council of at least 3 councilors vote a unanimous decision to overturn the veto.
* The Premier may call a vote on any issue at any time, just as any other member of the Council may. This extends only to the Premier, and not the Steward. Failure to vote on a vote the Premier calls carries the same immediate removal penalties as failing to vote otherwise.
The Premier may, reasonably, call votes about decisions designed by the High Council. This includes things that the Council normally may not vote on. Such as, but not limited to; what charges may be applied to situations for Marshals, or temporary modification to standard operating procedure. This however does not mean council or voting standard operating procedure may be modified though. Doing so constitutes an Abuse of Executive Powers charge.

== Demoting Staff ==

In the event that a head of staff desires the demotion of a staff member in their faction they must meet one of the following criteria.

* Dereliction of Duty, the subject in question failed to perform their job duty at the bare minimum satisfaction.
* Negligence, the subject in question performed a grossly incompetent action while on duty that resulted in injury, loss of life, damages, or loss of property.
* Criminal activity, the subject in question performed an orange or red paragraph crime in which they were successfully convicted of.
* Failure to execute an order, the subject willfully and knowingly defied a valid order from their respective head of staff. Note that this only covers valid orders pertaining to their department, a head of staff could enforce a no smoking policy on his staff inside medical but not outside of medical.
* Violation of Standard Operating Procedures. This applies to both violations of general SOP, such as privacy rights, to departmental SOP unique to each department.
* In the case of a Low Council member, they may be voted to be demoted from their position if displaying actions that would be considered conduct unbecoming of a council member - such as interrupting voting, being disruptive of a council meeting, or other actions such as incompetency.

Employees who have been demoted three times from their respective faction may be permanently demoted and unable to take work in any positions within that department, unless an exemption is given [[Job_Strikes_and_You| (This will typically lead to a job strike at staff's discretion)]]. Not all demotions are considered valid and they are required to record with the [https://sojourn13.space/wiki/Example_Paperwork#Demotion_form|proper paperwork using a dismissal] form before being faxed to their respective faction owner for review.

Evidence or testimony regarding the demotion is to be attached to the demotion form when faxed. The fired employee is, similarly, to be given a full copy as well after dismissal.

Heads of staff may be demoted by a council vote and approval from the respective faction owner using a [https://sojourn13.space/wiki/Example_Paperwork#Demotion_form| demotion form] and proper signature from a premier or, if one is not present, the steward. Lacking both, the signature may remain blank.

== How to order an execution ==
In the rare and unfortunate event that a crew member has committed a crime in which execution is considered a certain criteria must be met in order for the execution to be valid.

* Assuming the person in question is successfully convicted and placed within the brig a premier must be present to arbitrate the crime to first ensure that the conviction is entirely valid with appropriate evidence and witnesses.
* A premier and at minimum three heads of staff must be present for an execution vote to be made. An execution vote may be called by any head of staff except for the premier. Once called all members must meet and discuss the case, all evidence, and what should be done.
* For an execution to be considered valid upon finishing discussion of the case all heads of staff must vote unanimously for execution and then sign and stamp a document that will be faxed to whichever faction owner presides over the prisoner. A reply will then be made back approving said execution.
* The prisoner is then executed in accordance with Marshal policy once approved by the relevant faction owner.

== Faxes ==
As a head of staff and Council member, you are the most responsible person within your department and as such are expected to handle most situations without having to fax the High Council. Only when it is absolutely necessary or outside of your hands, experience, or capabilities, should you fax the High Council. The High Council may not always respond to a fax sent to them, especially when the fax sent does not warrant a response from the High Council. Only when it's absolutely needed, the High Council will send a response.

Rules

2023-03-08T21:56:53Z

Rebel0: Rules added regarding Self Antaging, Outsiders, & Signifying Hostile Actions

{{GetStartedHeader}}

These are the rules for the server and ''are subject to change without notice''. For further clarification, use common sense. If you did get banned, there's probably a good reason for it, but if you disagree, you can always make an appeal on the discord. Although these are rules, but they are not infallible, complete, or concrete, and probably never will be despite our best efforts. If ''ever'' something feels wrong, either don't do it, or admin-help it first. Above all, use your common sense, listen to the game staff, and try to keep the game fun for everyone; not just yourself.

If you disagree with the rules as they currently stand, talk about it on the discord or with admins and maybe we can improve them through some healthy criticism and debate.

'''These rules are designed to be written in such a way that you can ''usually'' understand them just by reading the headers''', because reading ''all of this'' would be insanity for most people. If you cannot understand a rule just by looking at it, or wish to know about possible exceptions or examples, click the rule to learn more.

If you find yourself spending too much time reading this page, or are confused about any rules, please contact an admin on Discord to make suggestions on how these rules could be better worded.

== You must be 18 or older to play on this server ==
'''There are no exceptions.''' If the staff suspects that you are underage for any reason, you will be banned from playing on the server until you are able to prove to the satisfaction of the staff that you are at least 18 years old.

*Use of real world slurs, ‘lolspeak’, and other indications of immaturity may be taken as signs that you are underage.

*Knowing another user is underaged but not reporting it is considered grounds for an immediate, permanent ban.

*The age of consent in your country is irrelevant. Your opinion about this rule is irrelevant.

*You may also not play a character who is under 18 years of age.

== Obey the community's global rules ==
These rules apply ''everywhere'', including Discord, the server, and even private discussions with non-admins. However, not all of the global rules are even possible to break in the server, so this wiki page only covers what's relevant to the game server. The overlap from the global rules are:

* No spam.
* No OOCly illegal discussions or content (such as child porn, drugs, piracy, real world threats, etc).
* Respect other users, don't use real-world slurs, and don't intentionally drag private conflicts or in-game conflicts into public OOC (such as on the Discord server, the in-game global OOC channel, or anywhere else).
* Don't intentionally abuse server functions to upset (grief) people, or derail discussions. You know what this means, don't play stupid.
* No complaining about bans unless done properly via an appeal on our [https://sojourn13.space/forum/viewforum.php?f=13 forums] or in an ahelp or otherwise private means as an inquiry to administration staff.

== Don't be an asshole ==
It's fine to say stuff and whatnot but being a outright dick isn't alright, and there's a fine line with that. Also, spamming racist words is still not okay.

=== Do not inconvenience AFK or disconnected characters ===
Under normal circumstances, do not harm or otherwise inconvenience characters whose player is idle, ghosted, or disconnected entirely. There are some exceptions to this rule, as follows:
*Circumstance that warrant the interactions of AFK/SSD players are few and far between if there is ever a case were you are REQUIRED for to take any ID/Bag/Gear from someone that is SSD, Ahelp before hand and with your reason why. Not ahelping before may result in HARSH OOC punishment if you are found to be manipulating them while away, or causing any sort of general tampering with the player. (IE. Don't be an asshole who steals shit from afk players unless its required)
Note: If your moving someone to cryo after the time, this is ok, as long as you do not remove their items unless it's faction important and you have the means to return them properly
*If they've disconnected/idle for more than 15 minutes, you can put them in cryosleep. If you do that, take away all of their belongings except for their jumpsuit, shoes, ID, and PDA, and return everything else to its rightful department.
*If they've committed a crime, jail them as you normally would and conduct their sentence even if they aren't connected. 20 minutes in the brig is still 20 minutes in the brig.
*Emergencies bypass this rule. If it's an emergency and you need something an idle player has to fix it, you may take it. If a fire starts in a room and the AFK player is the only one who can open the door then it's an emergency. Needing to get a snack from the kitchen and robbing the chef does not count as an emergency.

=== ERP preferences must be respected ===
Players should have their ERP prefs listed in their “OOC Meta info” or “OOC Notes” on their characters. You are required to respect these preferences so long as they pertain to ERP. If you are unsure about the meaning of some of their preferences, then use LOOC to discuss it with them. If you accidentally go against someone’s preferences, or someone else goes against yours, work to correct it as quickly as possible, even if that means just deciding in LOOC amongst yourselves that ‘this didn’t happen’ and going your separate ways.

*If you do not like someone's erp preferences you won't be punished for saying so, but do not harass someone just because they like something you don't. It's far easier to simply avoid someone and causing drama will get you into trouble.

*If you are uncomfortable with an ERP theme that you hadn't thought to add (or didn't know existed) to a list of dislikes in your OOC notes, speak up in LOOC as normal. Conversely, those of you foolish enough to put 'anything goes' into your preferences, or anything else vague like this, do so at your own risk. '''You forfeit your right to complain about preference breaking''' if you do not put ''some'' indication of your dislikes into OOC preferences.

**'''Do not OOCly consent to an non-consensual scene and attempt to report it ICly or OOCly.''' This is effectively ''forcing'' players to engage in your fetish scene. Topics like this may make players incredibly uncomfortable or distressed. Do not do this. If you have ''not'' consented to the scene - A-help '''IMMEDIATELY'''.
**Do not do scenes such as this in public. Ever. You will not only be player killed (PK) but also have further punishments put upon you. If you want to opt-in for a scene as such, take it to dorms or a area defined properly as a private area.
**Do not make false allegations of non-consensual scenes in game. Falsely accusing someone of rape or other non-consensual material will result in an immediate ban. This is incredibly bad faith and petty.
**'''Being found in violation of NON-CON rule(s) will be met with an automatic player kill (PK) and Perma Ban with no appeal given investigation. You've been warned as this is not tolerated here.'''

*Do not attempt to force yourself into ERP scenes where the other party (or parties) involved are not comfortable with it, or not even actually participating. This includes (but is not limited to) repeatedly trying to do ERP that a player has blatantly stated they are uncomfortable with, trying to guilt players into having a pity RP with you, etc. You get the idea. Don't do it.

*AFK/SSD/Disconnected players are not valid targets for any ERP.

=== The private areas are protected ===
The ‘dorms’ area on the map are reserved for ERP and are ‘protected’ from interruption. It is a violation of this rule to break into occupied dorms or harass players in dorms. Dorm areas are any personal apartments generally restricted to a specific person such as a head of staffs private bedroom or a dorm area claimed by a specific person, usually through a labeled door.
*The only exception is for security to arrest those who have committed crimes. Security is not allowed to indiscriminately inspect dorms for crimes, but a known criminal hiding in a dorm is not protected by this rule.
*Conversely, it is not permissible to attempt to use dorms to hide from security, or to make their job of finding you harder. The dorms are for people who want to ERP in privacy. Don’t involve them in your shenanigans.

=== Do not disrupt non-public ERP scenes ===
TL;DR is you should avoid screwing with scenes that are not in public areas. The problem is, not everyone knows what is considered public or private. This is especially important for [[Security]] players to know.
*Dorms are considered private obviously. Don't mess with those under any circumstances unless someone inside actively invites you. (Calling for help is considered an invite.)
*If a person is ERPing in a public location they should be asked to vacate to a private dorm room. If they refuse they may be arrested immediately.

=== Speak English ===
We are an English server. All OOC communications are expected to be done in English. It's alright if your English is rough and imperfect, just as long as we can reasonably understand it.

*This also extends into IC communications, but is more flexible as some characters have heavy accents.
*Having a character sometime speak smatterings of other languages is acceptable, but speaking exclusively in these languages for entire sentences is not.

=== Roleplay as long as it's feasible ===
*This is an HRP (Heavy RolePlay) server. You are expected to roleplay your actions with other players as long as it's feasible. If someone engages you in purely ‘robust’ (aka game-mechanics driven) combat while you were attempting to roleplay with them, with no reasonable provocation, please use the admin-help feature to inform an admin.
**Reasonable provocation would be things that deem you too dangerous to be given even a chance to talk. For example, openly wielding a gun while threatening people, charging someone with a knife, trying to create a hazard, or being the target of a manhunt.

*If a fight does begin, you're not expected to type out every gunshot and dodge and attack. That would be absurd. Generally, you roleplay up until the point that it makes sense to start attacking, and then use game mechanics from there. You are allowed to respond to ‘robust’ violence with your own, if you desire, though you should attempt to return to roleplaying as soon as feasible. The environment is not designed for a focus on action, but rather for character-building and roleplaying. When a fight is over, resume roleplaying.

*Movement is considered a game mechanic for the purpose of this rule. Wordlessly running at a security officer who is attempting to arrest you, or wordlessly fleeing from them, is considered engaging in game-mechanic combat. The security officer has valid cause to stop trying to roleplay and stunlock you into the ground.

*Death may not be uncommon at the frontiers of space but it is still impactful. When a character dies, or your own character dies and is revived, death should be considered an immensely painful and graphic experience. One should stay in character during said experiences, statements of ‘oh well’ or mutilating a corpse for ‘fun’ would not be reasonable responses.

*'''You are to have fleshed out character records.''' These are used not only for roleplay but are to be utilized, if specified by staff, for long-term consequences for actions. Players are supported to use these as roleplay documents and treat others with these seriously. Our expectations for what should be in these can be found on [[https://sojourn13.space/wiki/Example_Paperwork#Character_Records|the Character Records page of our Example Paperwork wiki.]]

=== Do not join with an inappropriate ckey ===
Ckeys, better known as BYOND user names, must be appropriate. If any are deemed inappropriate, the ckey will be banned and you will be unable to play on our server until you make an account with an appropriate name.
*Ckeys that mock certain players or groups are an example of inappropriate.
*Ckeys that violate BYOND's terms of service may also be reported.

=== Do not misuse Global OOC ===
Many servers simply mute global OOC. We do not, because the OOC command is useful to have on in an RP heavy server.

* Global OOC is used, for instance, to contact someone you were typing a reply to had walked out of the room before you were done, and you're trying to ask them to come back. It's also useful if you're a new player, or an old player exploring new mechanics, who asks something like, "How do I make Tricord again?" or something short and similar. Short, sweet, and relevant OOC messages are generally okay. Welcoming old players returning, or new players joining, is also generally okay.

* Global OOC is ''not'' for idle banter, ranting, things pertaining to incidents in the current round (see previous rule), in-depth explanations (an explanation that takes more than a few lines), shitposting memes, or discussing topics not relating directly to the game. If you want to chatter OOCly, go to our Discord channel, which is linked from the home page or use LOOC so as to not disturb the rest of the server.

* Also, if someone does misuse OOC, do not complain in global OOC about their misusing of global OOC. Not only are you just making the problem worse, that is considered being a backseat admin, which is prohibited by other rules.

== Keep IC and OOC separate ==
*Don't complain in OOC or LOOC when your actions IC get you in trouble. If its a rules violation then Ahelp or open a ticket on the discord.
*IC (In-character) and OOC (Out-of-Character) actions and knowledge should be separated as much as possible. Don't use OOC channels to discuss what's going on IC until after the round is finished, don't use OOC knowledge to do things your character wouldn't know, such as operate medical machines when a cargo technician. You are not playing yourself in the game, you are controlling a character with their own wants and knowledge and the IC/OOC boundary is to help reflect that.
**Note that these same rules apply to LOOC as well.
*Disconnecting or using other OOC means to avoid IC consequences is against the rules. If you do urgently need to leave the server even though you're being punished, your options are either to surrender and get it over with, or use admin help to inform the admins, "I know Security is after me, but I have to go because (some emergency)." Failure to take ten seconds to tell an admin before disconnecting may result in harsher punishment.

=== Metacomms, metagaming, multi-keying, (etc) are not allowed ===
*Metacomms: Using third-party programs, such as Discord, IRC, Skype, or even the BYOND pager, to discuss and share information of the ongoing round. This excludes other players, can contribute to toxicity among the playerbase, and is often a tactic used by griefers and thus is a no-go.

*Metagaming: Using information obtained from elsewhere to influence IC decisions and actions. Your opinions or knowledge of other players or characters obtained via OOC methods should not direct your IC actions. If you have an OOC grudge against someone, you may not try to antagonize them IC, for example.
** Metagaming sometimes happens by accident due to game mechanics behaving undesirably due to intentional features or unintentional bugs and oversights. If it happens, ask an admin to help straighten things out if you can't do so among yourselves.

*Multi-keying: Logging in with multiple BYOND accounts on our game server. There is never any legitimate reason for you to do this and thus is not allowed.

= Create and play server-appropriate characters =
Although this is a furry roleplaying server based around 2D spess mans, that doesn't mean anything goes because that is possible. Suspension of disbelief is still important to a good experience, and breaking that suspension of disbelief is bad for roleplaying. Characters who break that suspension of disbelief are not allowed. Saying "it's what my character would do" isn't an automatic protection against this rule if what your character is doing breaks that immersion.

*Play a reasonably sane and mature character, give them a non-immersion breaking first and last name, do not play obvious reference characters, or characters from published works.

*Keep in mind that people do not like pain or dying and usually try to avoid it without good reason. Give your character a reasonable set of strengths, fears, and weaknesses. When writing things for IC, write things out that sound like speech, not emoticons or lolspeak.

*The setting contains no magic. Your character cannot have any superpowers, magical abilities, or anything that does not exist in the setting or cannot be reasonably replicated with game mechanics. If they are not someone who has a good reason to work on the colony, they should not be here.
**The exception to this is purely private roleplay. For example: If your character and another character are in a dorm by themselves, and the other is OOCly fine with it, your character can display potentially supernatural abilities. This is limited to that roleplay, though. You should not discuss anything about that in public. Use magic at your own risk however, because technically the moment your RP is discovered by someone else, it stops being private, putting you in potential violation of this rule.

*Obscenely oversized or undersized characters are forbidden. Minimum height is at least four feet. Maximum height is about eight feet. Anything more or less really pushes the already shaky believably of abhumans and established alien lore.

*If you are playing a lore based species such as sablekyne, mar'qua, opifex, or whatever else we add in the future, you are expected to play the race as they are canonically meant to be played.

*OOC Notes and Flavor Text are '''required'''. Your OOC notes must detail your ERP preferences, and your flavor text should not include non-physical attributes (do not include feelings your character has, or how they act). Character records are something that should be filled out, if you have an issue or don't know how to do it properly, contact a member of staff for help.

*To be a colonist your character '''must''' have at least a ''basic'' understanding of the English language. Outsiders, however, are exempt from this restriction and may be of people from various backgrounds that may not have a grasp of even basic English.

*If your character is suspended, permanently killed off, or otherwise removed from the colony as a consequence for something horrible they did in-character, you are expected to not play that character anymore. If found playing the character again, or a 'clone' to circumvent this result, OOC punishment will be issued.

* '''Do not play vibrantly colored or "sparkle dog" type characters.''' This basically means you should mainly have natural fur coloration and a relatively normal appearance. Yes, our character editor has a ton of color options, including neon colors and many design sprites to do strange things. Creativity is fun, making your appearance incredibly unrealistic or as obnoxious as possible will result in admin intervention. Some leeway is given to races with canonically vibrant colors such as cht'mants and cindarites or custom xenos but try to keep them muted instead of neon. Following the custom species guide does not make you immune from this rule. If an admin asks you to change your color, do so, we have this rule to maintain HRP.

== Do not kill or attack things (including yourself) for no good reason ==
*This includes yourself. Even in self-defense your goal is to fight off your attacker and survive, killing in a fight should only be done as a last-ditch effort when it's clear it's a you or them situation.

*Suicide or self-mutilation is not allowed without prior allowance by an admin. The reason for this is to maintain an atmosphere of reasonable and, at least mostly, mentally sound workers. The subject can be a poor attention grab, be used for guilt, or remove any immersion or story from someone. If you believe you have a reason, ask an admin.

*Excessive force responses are not allowed by our rules. Excessive force responses would be, for example, crushing someone’s skull for cutting you in line, stabbing someone’s eyes with a screwdriver for boredom, killing someone over a single punch, etc. Use proper reasoning for when you act in such a manner.

*Hiding player corpses as a self-antag / antag is not allowed. Staff may give an exemption in the case of an event but the body should still be possible to be found.
**Similarly, do not destroy bodies purposefully. Accidents happen regarding gibbing of a skull, destruction of someone’s body due to a bomb, etc. But whacking a target that is dead until it starts gibbing its limbs is not.
**Antags have some exemption to this; such as Blitzshells or Carrions. However admins are to specify if an antag may use these abilities or not as they can possibly end up being round-ending for a player.

*Make it clear through actions or words if you are moving into combat against someone. Even something as simple as “I’m killing you” will suffice - or even placing paper at the entrance to a cave saying ‘KEEP OUT’. Wordlessly shooting people without any clear intent or reasoning may result in administrative action depending on the context. We are a roleplay server.
**Players are, by no means, required to emote. They may choose to do so if they please. Drawing a gun when in a heated situation, such as when a gun is already drawn on them, or even being visibly armed during a fight is clear intent enough to meet this requirement. Use proper reasoning and judgment.
**If a player makes their intent known (I.e ‘get on the ground, now’, ‘give me your shit’) - you, as the person receiving said demand, are not required to say anything further. You may retaliate with force at this point if you deem fit. Sometimes ICly is preferable to try and talk, but you are not required to. Just know that actions have consequences ICly and they may apply to you depending on the legality of the order or reasoning of it.

== Do not powergame ==
*Better known as 'playing to win'. As a security person this can be seen as going out of your way and needlessly endangering others to ‘win against’ criminals. As the Colony AI exploiting loopholes in your laws to get yourself out of them or getting the person who subverted you into trouble is another way. There is an implicit allowance for lawed characters to ERP. You may create loopholes for this reason only.

*While this shares several things in common with other rules, it still is it's own entity. Play to have fun, allow yourself to lose now and again and roll with the blows as it can make things potentially even more interesting.

*Having '''way''' too many skills for one character is another example of this. Just because you're the premier and have access to everywhere doesn't mean you should (or can) know how to do all the different jobs. (See [[Character Creation#Give them a set of skills|Character Creation]] regarding skills for more information.)

*[[Identifying Antagonists]] when you shouldn't be able to is also a violation of this rule.

=== Do not godmode ===
* Often confused with powergaming, godmoding is to create abilities out of nowhere, or do impossible things. If the action cannot be reasonably emulated in the confines of the game's mechanics, and it gives you some kind of advantage or is exceptionally weird, it's probably not allowed. For example, if you don't have access to a mechanic for turning invisible, you can't turn invisible. Saying you're invisible doesn't mean squat.

* Creating a character who is immune to injuries or pain also falls under this. The game won't let you ignore getting shot, why would any player allow it either?
** If your character is literally coded to ignore pain, you can ignore pain. Cyborgs and robots are a notable example. They do not feel pain. They are not immune to injury, however.

* Accidental injuries are still in-character injuries unless an admin heals you. Admin heals are generally out of character to void the injury.

* '''Admins who are caught abusing admin powers to godmod will be immediately dealt with.'''

===Do not abuse whispers===
Any actions that would obviously be visible should not be hidden using whispers, this includes ERP, whispers longer than a sentence, or actions that would obviously be visible to anyone glancing you way. If you need to speak something longer than a sentence but want to keep it quiet use the whisper command. Anyone caught using whispers to hide obviously visible actions of paragraphs of texts will get slapped for it.

== Rules of ‘Self-Antag’ ==
To start with, here are some of the bare bone basic rules when self-antagging.
* Your goal should be to provide fun for players in the round. Not just for yourself. Create scenarios others can enjoy and interact or involve other players who are receptive to your antics.
* Don’t Self-Antag without proper IC reasoning. Reasoning along the lines of "I'm bored" or "Giving Security something to do" is NOT a valid reason to be an asshole. Make sure your reason(s) are believable and why your actions make logical IC sense to any Admin.
* Your main goal should be to get away with something and live to fight another day. Not to aim to murder everyone in your sight.
* Don’t break machines or items when you are self-antaging, steal them instead. If the item has no worth to you nor any credit worth, don’t take it. If it does or would sell for a pretty penny, you may steal it and use or pawn it off.
** Similarly, don’t destroy or otherwise effectively grief Soteria or other faction machines that are needed for life-saving or are not replaceable. I.e - cryotubes, surgery tables, RnD machines, etc.
* Think about how a normal person would behave under similar circumstances. A well established character who has been around awhile may be given a bit of wiggle room to keep rounds interesting.
* By Self-Antaging, you are consenting to consequences to your actions. Be it from a normal player, or any result that may come from command or security personnel.
** Do not complain about the consequences you face upon doing such actions. Being fired, brigged, or killed - depending on the severity of your actions - are all possible outcomes. If you value your character and their reputation, don’t do it.

Due to the importance of certain items or objects, to get permission to break into certain high security places or steal specific rare or strong objects requires staff permission first. These include:

* Breaking into any of the colony armories.
* The AI room or stealing the AI directly.
* Heads of Staff rooms to steal unreplaceable gear/artifacts.
* The spare ID in the Premier's office.
** The council may borrow the spare to handle activities such as issuing a new or missing ID, but are NOT to abuse it without A-helping first.

The key goal to self antagging is to create roleplay that is enjoyable or otherwise fun for players to interact with to differ from the norm. Below are a list of examples but you should always consider "are other people having fun or am I just being a dick?"

* Buying and selling contraband.
* Starting a drug production operation in a secluded spot in the colony.
* Disguising yourself as a specific department and gaining access to it while pretending to be a member of that department until someone notices.
* Extorting people for cash with a good old fashioned mugging.
* Stealing money, cutting profits, etc.

Now that the guidelines are out of the way, this rule set are examples of what self-antagonists are '''NOT''' to do without admin permission.

* Large explosives such as plasma bombs, max-caps, or any form of gas attack (such as the use of plasma fire flooding) are NOT allowed without admin permission.
** Grenades in casings and the like are, however, free to use as you see fit.
* Being a self-antag does not mean a license to murder. Doing so may result not only in perma-brig or a PK depending on your actions outcome, but staff involvement as well.
** Shooting at security while on the run for example is fully fine and acceptable rules-wise, but you are not to purposefully kill people at random.
Do not self antag more than once per day. This is generous as is, you shouldn’t be running around multiple rounds in a row breaking stuff, stealing stuff, etc. There is a fine line between a self-antagonist and a shitter.
* Do not use self-antagonism as an excuse to ruin a player's experience. This includes targeting players you know you do not like, providing purposefully no enjoyment to the situation for them, etc. It’s just dickish behavior.
* Do not start hostile actions within the first 15-30 minutes of the rounds start. You may use this as prep time, or A-help asking to start early if it’s something you feel you need to do to get the proper prep time to begin with.
** Similarly, you are to cease escalation of antagonism once a round end vote passes. Security may hunt for you, and you may retaliate in that case - but you are NOT to start self-antaging in the last 15 minutes of a round nor continue actions of self antaging.

Remember - we play on what most servers consider an “Extended round type” and pride ourselves, as a server, sith offering a persistent atmosphere where previous actions are considered ‘canon’ versus the normal SS13 experience of Groundhog Day. We do not have normal full blown antagonists, such as a murderous traitor, a serial killer, a wizard, or Steve from accounting having a bad day and deciding it’s hijack time. We are a PvE server that wishes to allow some players driven conflict and meaningful stories from said conflict.

IC consequences that occur from being caught range. Demotion may result in a job strike against playing a department (these wipe every 3 months), the ‘permanent killing’ of your character in the case of heinous crimes, or other possibilities that players may decide within reason. It is for that reason that, by self-antaging, you are '''CONSENTING''' to these consequences for the action you have taken.

=== Outsiders & Self-Antaging ===

Outsiders hold some different rules and freedoms to self antaging than others. Outsiders may range from sane, understandable characters - to flawed individuals - to escaped convicts, cannibals, and deranged individuals. As such, their Self antaging takes different forms.

This section is a short one regarding outsiders and their self-antaging specifications. Outsiders hold different restrictions and freedoms from a colonist or lodge member deciding to self-antag. This section will outline these points below.

* Outsiders, unlike colonists, may resort to murder more quickly and for simpler reasons than a colonist. You are still not to make a target unrevivable, destroy their body, or otherwise hide the body without admin permission.
** That being said, you may do amputations of a body part or two as - say - some antagonistic type of cannibal. But do not go past this limit. Be reasonable
* Outsiders are still expected, as others, to give some form of indication of intent or use clear wording of what they want or are doing. Mugging someone? Say what you want. Telling someone to get lost? Draw your gun and tell them to get out.
** Paper notes may also be placed at, say, the entry to your house or on the door warning ‘trespassers will be shot’ as a means to make intentions clear or stake ownership of an area/building. Doing so means you may shoot violators, just as colonists do to infiltrators or trespassers.
* Outsiders may freely use traps, mines, and mobs to aid in their self-antaging. Be tasteful and do not use them on tiles, such as Z-transitions or staircases, or under trees completely. You may use them on ladders though as players can see down them before climbing.
* Breaking into the colony is acceptable to do, but you are to obey the previous rules regarding what can be stolen or broken into. Off limit areas, such as armories or the premiers spare ID requires admin permission.
* Finally, remember - colonists and hunters may kill you just as freely as you may kill them. They are required, as you are, to make their intentions clear. But you do not have the legal protection of a colonist. By playing outsider and, by any means acting strange or akin to a self antag, you lose the right to complain about the consequences that come to you.

== You are expected to perform the job you signed up for ==
When your character joins the round, you are accepting the responsibilities that the job you have chosen brings with it. Remember: if you are playing in a slot, you are likely preventing other players from performing that role. It is important that you fulfill the tasks that you have signed up for!
*Marhals should protect the colony from danger, the guild should ensure that power is up and that people can breathe, medical should provide treatment to injuries and other services, cargo should bring in needed cargo on request, Science should do... science stuff, and service should provide food. Command's job is to make sure at least these basics are being fulfilled, and to react accordingly in an emergency.

*A player must take into account the qualifications (both physical and mental) of their character’s role before placing them into it. If staff find your character to be unsatisfactory in fulfilling the requirements of the role, we may instruct you to revise your character.
**This includes majorly disabled characters — quadruple amputees, deaf, or blind characters, and so on — which are only permitted on the colony in the assistant (and associated alt-titles) job slot.

*Repeatedly failing to perform to an acceptable standard can result in a ban untill appealed.

*Job [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strikes]] are a counter of 0/3 which is noted on your character, after 3 job strikes, which can be earned by bad faxes or legitimate demotions from a head of staff, your character is permanently fired from that department until an appeal is made. Job strikes last 3 months, with the timer resetting with each strike.

*If you are going AFK for an extended period of time (more than 15 minutes), and are occupying a limited-number job slot (any slot other than assistant), you must remove your character from the round using a cryopod (or other similar means) to free the slot. Repeated failure to do this may result in being banned from that job.

*Do not do other people’s jobs. If you joined as medical, do not attempt to hunt down criminals. If you joined as engineering, do not attempt to perform medical treatment on your coworkers. If you are a head position, allow your staff to do work before you do the work yourself; you are a supervisor and manager first and foremost as a head position.

*Do not hijack other people's jobs. For example, if you're a roboticist but someone needs surgery, and there's already a surgeon who isn't currently busy, then don't perform the surgery instead of letting them do it. Similar examples exist with every department, so use your judgement. Basically, if you're ''actively getting in the way'' of someone else trying to do their job, you're probably breaking this rule.

*Playing jobs that can be called upon at any time to assist other crew members in emergencies waives your right to have interruption-free (E)RP sessions in private, including the dorms. If you join as a Lifeline Tech, expect to be interrupted out of private scenes. If you’re an engineer, you are expected to set up power systems and repair any large-scale damage that hampers the rest of the crew, regardless of your intent to have sex with the assistants. (Example: The premier getting their rocks off with someone while they are being called to assist with colony matters. They signed up to be the arbiter of colony matters. ERP is not what you are here for in that role. "saying you are busy or occupied" will incur a job [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strike]].)

*If you do prospecting as an non-prospector for more than 30-60 minutes without being in an expedition with them and you are not doing your job, you may get a talking to. If you want to play like a prospector - just play the job instead of ignoring the one you signed up for.

*Maintenance diving is not a valid reason to be busy from your assigned job. If you are requested to perform the actions of your role while maintenance diving it is expected that you make your way out of maintenance in a timely manner.

== You are expected to obey the chain of command (within reason) ==
*Each head of staff is the de facto leader of their department, so listen to them. Likewise, you should obey decisions from faction owners (if a fax arrives) or council decisions unless directly overridden by an admin. If you consistently do not follow reasonable orders, you will be job banned.

*If you're playing a role that has [[AI#Interpreting_Your_Laws|AI laws]], you must obey these laws first and foremost to the best of your ability.

*As any role without AI laws, you can disobey orders you think are traitorous, harmful, immoral, or violating [[Laws]]. Use your judgement and consider whether or not disobeying the order could get you in trouble or get someone else horribly killed.

*If you are given an order or AI law that may break another server rule, please alert the admins for a second opinion before continuing.

Mind you, this is '''not''' a rule that lets people be fun police as heads of staff. If you feel that someone is ordering you do things that basically require you ''not'' to do your job, or to do your job in ways that aren't important/fun, then contact an admin for a second opinion or fax a faction owner in character.

== You are expected to forget events that are deemed non-canon ==
*This is to keep things a little more sane in-round, and to allow for players with preferences in non-consensual activities to have their fun with people who share those prefs as victims. It is therefore against this rule to remember and abuse the knowledge of who killed/raped after the round has passed unless both people involved agree. You should not have the memory to antagonize or persecute your attacker without the prior OOC agreement of the other parties in the roleplay. They can include this consent in their OOC Metainfo/Notes or discuss it with you in LOOC before or after the roleplay.

*Keep in mind that non-consensual RP, while OOC, is fine it is not on an IC level. Characters who make their non-con actions public or get caught in the act can and will be permanently killed if caught. For example, if a person is tried and executed for rape that character is permanently dead and cannot reappear on the colony. If you wish to do non-con keep it private. '''You've been warned.'''

*The round ending does not make you immune to a character perma-kill. Just because you evaded capture or was not killed by the time it restarted does not mean everyone forgets what your character did. If you get caught and the evidence is ironclad enough, you will be PK'd.

*This rule also applies to events that cause catastrophic damage to the colony, such as a code red/delta scenario. As a general rule event coordinators '''should''' say before or after an event if it is non-canon or not.

*If you are killed in a round and then revived in the same round, you're memory is entirely intact and may act accordingly.

= The intent of the rules is more important than the letter =
The purpose of the rules is to preserve a fun and enjoyable environment for all players. If everyone is enjoying themselves even while the ‘letter’ of a rule is not being followed, it’s likely that no staff intervention will be required. On the other hand, just because something isn't in the rules doesn't mean it's okay or allowed if it's upsetting a large number of players.

*It is within admin staff's discretion to decide that certain actions violate one or more rules, even if the specific action is not listed as part of the rule. This is simply the job of the staff to interpret the rules. You can appeal decisions to other admins if you believe one has a bias against you, but doing so after a ruling is passed will get you in trouble.

*Plenty of rules are left vague enough to cover as much as possible without being too oppressing. Attempting to rules-lawyer saying that "this rule doesn't specifically say I can't do X", even if what you are doing is disrupting the server, will generally be ignored. We assume most of you have enough common sense to recognize what a [[#Create_and_play_server-appropriate_characters|sane and stable individual]] would and wouldn't do within this fictional setting.

=== Listen to admin staff ===
* One admin's word is usually as good as any other. Though, just because one admin says something is okay in that moment does not mean it will always be okay under another admin or even the same admin.
** If this causes a contradiction, you can (and should) inform the new admin of what you were told previously. For example, a Head Admin says you can do something, but that admin has left the server. A lower ranked admin shows up and asks you to stop doing that thing. You can explain that the Head Admin previously said you could do this, but if the lower ranked admin ''still'' wants you to stop, then you should stop. (This obviously works vise-versa as well.)
** Intentionally not telling a new admin about a contradiction is considered lying. It's like asking your mom for ice cream, but she says no, so you go ask dad because you think he'll be less strict.
* Sojourn is not a straight democracy; our rules and guidelines exist for a reason and we have staff dedicated to enforcing them and help set further guidelines if necessary. '''However, these rules are always going to be incomplete, and as such, just because something isn't written doesn't mean it's allowed.''' If a staff member tells you to do something, do it. They tell you to stop, then stop. If you disagree with a ruling, don't try to argue it then and there, especially if things are hectic. Once things have calmed down, or preferably after the round has ended, you can try to contact the staff member privately to discuss the ruling, or talk to another admin if you cannot talk to or cannot convince the offending admin.

* If you have a question over something unclear or questionable, never be afraid to adminhelp. The staff on hand should discuss it among themselves and give you a ruling, from there on if the ruling is in bad judgement, it's on the admin who cleared it, not ''you''. '''The staff should also NEVER ban you purely for a complaint against them.''' Even if you're a complete asshole about it, as long as the argument stays private, you cannot be banned just for arguing. Although being an asshole usually won't win an argument, so you probably shouldn't do that anyway.
** Don't confuse this for "complaining grants you immunity to bans", because that's not how it works. If you are told to not break windows and you complain how that isn't fair, you're still getting banned for breaking windows if we disagree with your complaint. What this means is we won't ban you or make an existing ban worse just because you tell us we're being excessively mean, confusing, or unfair to you or someone else.

= Dungeoneering =
A core aspect of our server is our PvE content, this can range from going into randomly generated dungeons, leaving the safety of the colony, or simply crawling through maintenance. However, we also have specific jobs for this and ones who should be doing this. As such, '''jobs discouraged or disallowed from dungeoneering are actively targeted by staff when spotted.''' Refer to the list below of jobs allowed to or dungeoneer.
===Core Dungeoneering===
These jobs are allowed to enter and leave the colony, and dungeons at will. There expected to do a wide range of things and will never be targeted for being in these areas.
* Foreman | Salvager | Prospector
* Lodge Hunt Master | Lodge Hunter
* Outsider

=== The Junkfield ===
The Junkfield has no restrictions on any role or job, do to its infinitely reproducible allowing no gameplay or fun to be lost by people using it.
* Anyone - Any reason as long as they are not ignoring or breaking their job.

===Staff Guide for Handling Dungeoneering===
When someone not in the listed jobs above is caught in a dungeon, admin staff are not only instructed to but '''encouraged''' to decide if the player is affecting the overall round to a negative effect and use in-game traps and mobs to kill the respective offender using the listed guide when needed. (Keep in mind we're here to have fun not punish people like robots following stonecold laws for breaking the rules. Use your best mindset for this.) However, this comes with a check list of things that need to be verified.

# Is the person apart of an event (official, mini-event, player run) that gives them a good roleplay reason to be in the area? I.E. the prospectors wanted extra hands and church litanies for healing, so they paid a vector to come with them.
# Is the person there for a reason that isn't looting? I.E. are they rescuing someone who is injured, etc. etc.
# If both answer to both is no, all staff must first subtle message the player in question with a warning of some kind such as "Something doesn't feel right, you're being watched..." or "An unearthly silence fills the space around you." or similar foreboding messages.
# '''Give them a reasonable amount of time to flee the area''' (usually 5 minutes) after the warning is given so they can avoid being killed.
# If they have not left, start by adding additional mobs/traps in their way as they continue. Under no circumstances should a player ever see the mobs or traps spawned, this means you cannot as staff randomly spawn mobs on top of, in front of, or in implausible locations to harm the offender. This includes spawning hard to spot traps in the path of a walking player, '''do not do this'''. As a rule, all additional spawns should be 7 or more tiles away from the player at all times. All methods to ramp the difficulty must be done in such a way that it makes perfect sense in-character, using thematically appropriate traps/enemies. I.E. You shouldn't be spawning primal renders inside the greyson field offices, etc. etc.
# Ramp up the pressure until they are dead. Do not begin with 10-20 spiders, start with 3-4 and keep progressing until they are overwhelmed or use lethal traps that they could avoid but will kill them if they're not careful. The goal is first to scare them to flee and only kill them if they persist. Staff who actively and badly enforce this rule without properly adhering to this list will get a [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strike]]. If they get 3 or more strikes, they are no longer allowed to enforce this rule and may be demoted.
# The body should remain intact and reviable '''the first time this happens.''' The second time in the same round, a guilty offender should be rendered unreviable via being devoured by roaches. '''Do not gib or severely fuck up a body beyond repair on the first offense.'''

Laws

2023-03-08T18:02:21Z

Rebel0: /* Modifiers & Special Situations */

The colony laws are a series of regulations that all interest groups on the High Council have agreed to, applying them broadly to all colonists inside the colony. The colony’s Marshals are expected to uphold and enforce these laws, and all departments are expected to follow them. This is not a general guide to security. All new marshals should review the official [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]]. It is important to know that all offenses listed below should be followed as a ‘guideline’ by law enforcement personnel and do allow for victim rights and alternative solutions to minor offenses. For example, you are not required to give a sentence if the problem can be resolved in an alternative way that the suspect agrees to, such as an agreement with the victim in return for not pressing charges, or peer mediation. To understand how to go about a proper arrest, or other clarifications such as prisoner rights, alert levels, and more, see [[Standard Operating Procedure]]. Note that Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is enforced via the head of staff. To be charged with a violation of SOP, a head of staff has to request a relevant charge be levied, such as denial of a reasonable order.

'''Law's protections, and rights only apply to colonists and colony allies. Visitors, outsiders, and groups unconnected to the colony have no rights and therefore no protections under the law.'''

== Interpretation of the Law ==
'''<big>All colony law is subject to the standard of INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. No one is to ever be assumed guilty, evidence must be presented that reasonably proves guilt.</big>'''

A good working knowledge of the law is important for any person on the station. It can be the difference between a shiny pair of handcuffs and sipping drinks in the bar. More in-depth interpretations of the law are required for such positions as the ranger, officer, premier, and the warrant officer. For certain crimes, the accused party's intent is important. Intent can be the difference between a charge such as, say, manslaughter and murder. One requires purposeful intent, the other is unintentional and typically caused by negligence or workplace accident. It is also important to note that manslaughter and murder are mutually exclusive. This indicates that an individual must be charged with one or the other, not both. Neither could a colonist be charged with both assault and murder on an individual if there is only a single victim, the higher-grade charge must be the charge applied in that case.

All of this will be explained in detail as you read on, including specialty clauses, cases, guides, and explanations to how a Marshal or servant of the law should think when interpreting legal issues such as criminal acts or disputes.

Here are a few basic to-know bullet points for officers:
* '''To ensure you, as an arresting officer, don't fall into the trap of negligence or misuse of power, always follow procedure where possible as detailed by [[Standard_Operating_Procedure#Marshals|standard operating procedure]].'''
* As an arresting officer, follow the [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]] to ensure you don't fall foul of legal proceedings.
* In the case of pressed charges being in the same category (i.e Battery, Assault, Murder - or Vandalism, Theft, Grand Theft) take only the most severe charge. Any lesser charges in this case should not be applied.
* A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took 3 items off a person, this is a single count of theft. Otherwise this would count as 'crime-stacking', which is against SOP and law.
* When deciding on a timer for multiple crimes committed, take each crime into consideration separately. Then add the times together to get a final concise timer. This should be the timer issued to an offender when they are put in a cell.
* '''The time taken to bring in an offender and the time taken when questioning the offender are NOT to be calculated into their issued timer.''' Timers begin when plugged in on a cell's console. However, offenders should be processed as quick as reasonably possible as-per their rights as employees within the colony.

=== Victim Rights ===

'''A victim holds the right to drop charges if the listed charge allows it.''' This would apply to charges such as: Assault, Theft, Trespass, or other 100 to 200-tier offenses. Victims may also collect monetary value equal to their losses from the offender in question, such as any incurring medical bills or loss of property. Both of these clauses are there to allow a victim peace of mind and to make sound decisions rather than being forced into court cases.

There are some exemptions, however. Such as in the case of any 'red paragraph crime', such as those equal to a 400-level “Exceptional” charge or a 500-level “Capital” charge. These charges include crimes such as attempted murder, manslaughter, grand theft, or the like and may '''not''' be dropped at any time by a victim. The reason being that these criminal acts extend further than creating a victim, but also threatening the lives of others. Officers 'may' take into account an offender’s circumstances and a victim's testimonial when deciding intent and timers but no dropping of charges may occur.

=== Fines & Timers ===

Some crimes may offer either a fine or a timer, or in some cases, 'both' a fine and a timer together. It is ultimately at the discretion of the arresting officer and/or the warrant-filer what the punishment for an offense should be.

Fines are ultimately recommended for most low-level crimes, if they are listed under the ‘timer’ section of the quick reference guide. If, however, an offender is non-cooperative, a repeat offender, or otherwise hindering an investigation a timer should be issued instead. Fines are to be paid to the Marshal department directly, while any compensation, such as to damaged property or medical fees, should be directed to the victim and/or the victim department.

Timers are to be decided by the senior authority, typically either a ranger or warrant officer. If in the case where neither are available then the arresting officer may decide. Timers should not exceed a maximum time allocated to the charge '''unless''' modifiers are added on; such as a repeat offender who would receive double the time. Timers 'may' be less than the allocated maximum time depending on circumstances and modifiers that would normally subtract time from one’s sentence, such as cooperation with security personnel or in cases of entrapment.

== Heads of Staff & Lower Council Law ==

'''Heads of staff are not above the law, and can be arrested by the marshals for breaking it.''' The 'only' time that the law can be overridden is when there is an imminent and overwhelming threat to the colony, such as during a Code Delta scenario.

'''A determination of no-wrongdoing may result in the dismissal of charges levied or a negating of any brig time served.''' Determinations of no-wrongdoing must be done by a Warrant Officer after an investigation, which must be faxed to the Office of the Provost Marshal, the Provost Marshal himself, or the colonies High Council. Any Warrant Officer found to abuse their authority to declare improper cases of no-wrongdoing may be demoted and arrested for exceeding their official power alongside other charges, such as falsifying information or providing false testimony.

A vote held by the Lower Council may also be used to indite some charges, such as abuse of power or charges related to disrupting the Low Council. Any crime that requires judgement, such as crimes labeled as 'HuJ' / Hold until Judgement, should be decided on in a timely manner by the Lower Council through a tribunal. A tribunal '''must''' follow the Legal Standard Operating Procedure to be considered legal. A tribunal must properly vote and may only be overturned by the High Council itself. It is ultimately up to the Lower Council if they wish for a proper legal court trial or to operate as they would a normal meeting, but one of the two options must be used.

The Low Council may opt to give timers over the normal-maximum, set specialty timers, or issue specific parole conditions via tribunal and deliberation if desired. These rulings may be overturned by the High Council if its conditions are found to be unreasonable or a violation of employee rights.

=== Legal Procedure ===

Tribunals are the main way major decisions are made aboard the station and the defendant does not have to be involved. There is not specified length for how long a tribunal must be. Basically it's the same as the old trial, but without a jury and slightly streamlined. An AI may fill in for a premier for tribunals and can be trusted to be accurate, however, an AI may not replace a premier for the purpose of voting for execution.

* '''Purpose:''' For crimes or decisions that require more than one person, or crimes where there is no set punishment.

* '''Overview:''' A minimum of three heads of staff must discuss this issue and vote on the outcome with a premier (or AI substitute) over seeing the tribunal.

* '''Process:''' The premier (or stand-in AI) should call the heads of staff for a tribunal with the situation and proposed outcome. This can be done formally in a meeting room, or informally over radio.

* '''Conviction:''' The tribunal must vote on the outcome, and the outcome must win by a majority vote (over 50%). If there is a tie, the premier's vote wins. For an execution to take place, the vote must be unanimous.

* '''Sentencing:''' If the vote passes, the outcome may be enacted, usually by the marshals. The decision can be appealed once by either the defendant or a volunteer.

== Law in Relation to Outsiders, Allies, & Others ==

Colony law is '''not''' extended to neutral parties inherently. Outsiders, for example, have no inherant legal rights or protections. However, some laws do apply to protect outsiders as well, including all intelligent, sapient beings. This includes other intelligent races, ranging from Humans to Mycus, to anything of higher intelligence including robots with self awareness.

For simple terminology of colony law:
*'''"Employee" / "Colonist"''' = A member of the colony or an employee of one of the colony's various factions. These rights are extended to all members of the colony and all members of departments.
* '''"People" / "Person" / "Someone"''' = This covers '''any''' sapient, intelligent being, regardless of their allegiance. Outsiders, hostiles, allies, etc. This term is used only rarely, but is typically used to refer to crimes such as desecration of a corpse due to the criminal and inhumane act of cannibalism, or in reference to inhumane acts such as the act of enslavement.

Outsiders are only protected under colony law under the term 'people', 'person', 'someone', or if granted entry to the colony via vote for visitation or sale of goods. When an Outsider is granted entry, they have the same rights as a citizen of the colony - until they are ejected or their visitation period ends. At that point legal protection ends.

Lodge members and other colony-aligned factions have full rights of a normal colonist. For information on this, and neutral parties, this can be found in Standard Operating Procedure. Attacking a non-hostile neutral party can result in a charge of '''Terrorism''' depending on the incident. Neutral party refers to a neutral organization, not individuals such as Outsiders.

Security personnel are to obey these clauses and understand the wording.

==Salvaging Rights==

These laws will attempt to make clear what is, and is not salvage. Who has rights over what claims, the proper handling of claims and so fourth. These laws MUST be enforced by Nadezhda Marshals, or Blackshield, depending on the jurisdiction of the 'claim' and apply to all colonists of the Nadezdha Colony as well as Colony Allies and 'Neutral' third parties.
Basic salvage rights entail only the following caveats;
* Trash piles, unclaimed and clearly unowned items and storage containers are the rightful property of the 'first claimant'. A trash pile belongs to the first person to touch it, an abandoned locker to the first one to reach it, et cetera.
* Clearly owned property must be respected. A labeled cart, a gun who's serial is registered and thus known - these are considered personal property, and must be respected.
Additionally the following rules apply to all 'claims'
* If an item is stolen and then rediscovered in an area that would normally count as right-to-loot then it must be returned as it is their rightful property.
* Crime scenes. Any item taken from a crime scene is chargeable by theft, obstruction of duty, and suspicious conduct. A crime scene's boundaries will be clearly marked by tape set up by Marshals or Blackshield.
* Items dropped by colonists or allies due to severe injuries are their rightful property, and MUST be returned.
* The areas owned by colony allies or factions (such as Voidwolf ally Ships or the Soteria Solar Outpost), and clearly defined departmental zones are barred from allowing salvage claims.

===Types of Salvage Claims===
In summary, there are four types of salvage areas. Claimed, Unclaimed, disputed and free

*Claimed areas are those within colony borders(or the borders of colony allies) that have a lawful mandate placed over them, determined typically by the High Council, or at times low council. These locations are the claim-right of a particular faction, ally, et cetera. The FULL contents of these areas is the rightful claim of their respective owners, and any contents taken are effectively treated as their 'rightful property'. Though mere presence on a claim is not generally sufficient to result in charges, the removal of property from them(I.E scavving) is cause for charges of trespass, theft, and grand theft. Additionally, a modifier "Breach of salvage rights" should be applied to each of these charges and any items taken returned or, if not possible - their value owed in remediation.

*Unclaimed areas, while still within colony property, have no rightful claim placed on them, such claims may be enacted at the discretion of the High council, foreman and low council(in that order of importance), having to be properly ratified and faxed to be valid.

*Uncontested areas are new zones or uncertain zones that have no current claims. While they may be within the borders of the Colony or its Allies, they are generally free to loot so long as general scavenging rules are observed. Conflicts, theft and similar SHALL be punished by law.

*Free areas are neither within colony territory nor hold any special claim. These areas are typically considered 'free' of salvage rights and include but are not limited to; the untamed wilds past the colony border and space(and areas located within that do not fall under the purview of the previous types of claims).

===Known claims and their status===
*The Nadezdha colony maintains that the areas in its immediate vicinity, as well as the jungle directly south and the crater directly west are 'colony property' and not subject to claims by non-colony forces.

*Colony maintenance is 'unclaimed', thus only basic salvage rights must be respected.

*The Prospectors hold exclusive claims over the following areas; Greyson Positronics field offices and attached locations, this include the Greyson Positronics Gantlet. 'Preppers' bunker. 'Ironhead compound' Smuggler base. 'Zoo' research facility.

*The 'Scrap haven' is, as of now, a shared claim between the Prospectors and Hunters lodge - However, the Hunters Lodge has abdicated any right to lease their hold on the claim.

*The hunters Lodge holds exclusive claim over the following areas; The lodge itself and land upon which it sits, and the plains in the immediate vicinity of their lodge

*The 'Salvage Fields' are 'free' claims, though basic salvage rights should be respected.

*The assorted, smaller 'Points of Interest' in the immediate vicinity of the colony are 'uncontested'(E.G, scorched outpost, lost outpost, etc).

===Enforcement of Claims and Jurisdiction.===
As previously stated, it is the duty of Marshals and Blackshield to enforce salvaging rights - though they may vary on where their areas of jurisdiction come into play. 
Blackshield are largely expected to handle matters of salvage disputes where exterior forces threaten Nadezdha Colony(or upon request, colony allies) claims. Exterior factions attempted to jump claims owned by Prospectors should result in their dispatching. 
Marshals however are granted jurisdiction over legal matters of enforcement. Colonists jumping claims that are rightfully held should be charged accounting for the details of the matter. 
In the event where jurisdiction may be at question, it is important to remember that while the blackshield holds legal jurisdiction outside the perimeter fence - they are typically less oriented in the minutiae of law, and should they have to step in to enforce claims upon colonists past the walls they must hand over said colonists on return for processing by Marshals. 

===Additional Caveats===
*Salvage rights may, at the determination of their holder - be granted or leased. E.G, The Prospectors may, at the determination of the Foreman or Overboss Hogg grant rights over claims to other factions, allies, etc.
*The leasing of scav-rights by Foremen must, by order of Overboss Hogg be both A. reported to his office and either a cut of the total salvage or trade of 'equal value' taken. The Overboss adds that the job of prospectors is not to make friends, but to make money and that failure to properly extract value from such deals will result in consequences
*Though it is held that claimants have the right to defend their stake(with force if necessary) it is expected that Claimants use reasoned force in such and that the holding of such stakes be clearly communicated. E.G; A neutral party trespasses on a Colony claim, prospectors must clearly communicate that such a claim exists and offer opportunity for the claim-juimpers to return the stolen salvage and leave before force is used.
*Lonestar's disposal and recycling room. Lonestar shares the rights with the Church to this area but the church may not take any form of materials or items except items containing significant bio-matter (ex. animal meat, bio sheets, food, clothing, etc. etc.). Neither faction may order the other to leave under any circumstance, this location is considered jointly controlled and should not be modified without approval of the prime and CEO.
*Areas outside of the planets orbit, such as the nearby asteroid field in space, are not claimed by the colony directly. Salvagers and security forces operating there may salvage, but hold no direct claim over the materials there.

=== Minor Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Thermals are considered contraband for all departments. Thermals are however permitted outside the colony or during a declared red alert level. This goes for the augmentations, glasses, helmets or rig-suit modules. The following items are considered thermals: Augmented shades, Thermo-nightvision helmets, Thermal goggles, Thermal augmentations and bioaugmentations. Along with any hardsuit modules that contain thermals.
** If either Church or Soteria provide to a colonist thermals illegally they are to be charged for minor contraband. If a Soteria staff continues to do so repeatedly, then they are to be demoted immediately. Heads of staff in Soteria or the Church continuing are to be detained, charged with abusing their executive powers, and demoted after a fax has been sent up to the faction leader.
** Permits can temporarily be issued by a Warrant Officer for their usage or transportation through the colony. Any surgical implantation of thermal augments by Soteria requires a properly written form signed by both the doctor and the Warrant Officer permitting such augments be used under Soteria's supervision.
* The shooting range is considered a testing zone for science. Items sent from science to the range for testing must be announced over general comms. In the instance of Soteria testing explosives up at the shooting range, it must be a device capable of small explosives only. Larger explosions are to be tested out in the mines.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered minor contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* All encryption keys that are not supplied to a colonists workplace are considered minor contraband. If sensitive or private information is gained through the use of encryption keys that a colonist should not have access to they should also be charged with violation of employee privacy. This is applied even if it was not the intent of the person using the encryption key. Legal access to an encryption key can be given by any employee of the faction or head of staff, but the head of staff reserves the right to remove any access to any non-employee at any time for any reason. Please note that allies and neutral factions may have their own encryption keys - these are not illegal and should never be taken away.
* ID cards that are modified to give access to a normal departmental area of the colony without head departmental permissions are considered contrband. If, however, this access is issued either by a relevant head of staff or during the case of an emergency no timer or charge should apply. Legal access may be given by a head of staff to their department to another employee at anytime but may also be revoked at any time at the discression of the issuing head of department.
* Any weapons confiscated as in violation of the colony's 'Long Arm Policy' are considered contraband items. They are to be logged and placed into storage effective immediately in accordance with SOP.

|}

=== Major Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Soteria may test combat mechs at a firing range or outside the colony but '''must''' announce any and all movements of where the mech will be moving. Including the starting point to the desired ending point of the travel. These mechs may '''not''' be left in public spaces or otherwise operated, apart from moving through, public spaces unless exemptions are provided in the case of an emergency by security personnel.
** Permits for a combat mech may be temporarily issued by a Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist to non-Soteria personnel. The [[Example_Paperwork#Item_Application|proper forms]] should be filled out and the mech either housed inside of the employee's designated department or within Soteria's mech bay when not being used. Transporting any combat mech of any kind must be announced over public comms and cannot be driven freely across the colony. This policy and associated paperwork applies to any mech, including those obtained through salvage.
** Non-standard combat mechs / Non-combat mechs rigged for combat are not legal to own nor may receive licenses for normal usage. However, during Code Red or Code Delta emergencies they may be utilized by security personnel or otherwise permitted to be used by personnel determined to be fit and trust worthy by security personnel. All jury rigged weapons should be removed after the state of emergency without exception.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered major contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* Bluespace harpoons, and other teleportation items, may be used for research purposes by Soteria institute personnel. However, this does not mean they can be transported openly nor used or otherwise utilized outside of Soteria research departmental grounds. If transported outside of the department major contraband charges are applicable. If misused to teleport and employee unwillingly, as teleportation can be incredibly dangerous if not life threatening, see §413 - Unwilling Teleportation.

==== Explosive Exemptions ====
Contraband explosives are considered, but not limited to: any device presently capable of causing wide-spread and reasonably uncontrolled damage. This includes, but is not limited to, frag grenades, incendiary grenades, EMP grenades, tank transfer bombs, explosives grenades, incendiary grenades, land mines, and other similar objects capable of replicating any of the listed items effects. Items such as non-explosive flashbangs, smoke grenades, or cleaning grenades are not considered explosives. An oxygen tank, transfer valve, plasma tank, or scrap rifle with its safety measures enable would not count individually as explosives, only if the devices were within reasonable proximity and had steps taken to allow them to be used as explosives. I.E. a scrap rifle with its safety systems off is contraband, a persons bag containing heated plasma tanks, oxygen tanks, and transfer valves would be reasonably considered an explosive object. This exception only applies if the objects are, viably, capable of causing an explosion, if the plasma tank and oxygen tanks are empty and cannot explode it would not be considered contraband. Best and reasonable judgment applies.

Exceptions to the above clause may only be found in four cases:

1. The Marshals and Blackshield may use whatever explosives they require to perform their duties during a code blue or higher scenario. Responsibility for all damage to persons or property are the sole responsibility of the individual using the explosive devices. Low-yield grenades and small-arms explosive ordinance, such as grenade launcher rounds, may be tested at Marshal or Blackshield ranges with proper notification that explosives will be fired at the specified range.

2. Soteria Research may use any manner of explosives in the pursuit of research, the determination of what is considered ‘research’ is left to the sole discretion of the chief research overseer or, in the event one is not present, the biolab overseer. If neither is present, a low council vote is required to determine if the pursuit of research is considered scientific.

3. Prospectors may carry and use explosives outside colony walls at their discretion, provided the explosive do not damage colony property or other persons from the colony or colony allies. Prospectors must hold all explosives within their department or with security in either the gate house or armory. The transportation of explosives should always be announced publicly, similar to the transport of rifle class firearms.
In the event a prospectors wishes to sell explosive devices, be it to Soteria or Lonestar, this must be done with a member of the blackshield or marshal present and in the lobby of the respective department. In this scenario the explosive(s) must be stored in the buying department immediately. A form and record of the transaction should be recorded by security and filed with the WO, premier, sergeant, commander, and supply specialist.

4. Permits '''may''' be written for temporary explosive usage within determined location at the descression of the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist. Examples would be the allowance of Lonestar mining personnel to make use of small-yield explosive devices in mining operations, or temporary permits for Church for the transport of grenades for use in Deep Maintenance.

Failure to comply with the above section can and will result in the applicable charges and fines as expected by discretion of security personnel. This may include, but is not directly required to, charges of major contraband or negligence. In the event the explosive device is misused this may be upgraded to additional charges of terrorism, manslaughter, or murder. Improperly stored explosives that are stolen may confer charges both to the individual who stole and misused them and the individual who failed to properly safe keep the explosive devices, in this event both individuals receive the same charges regardless of fault.

Reasonable storage of an explosive device is determined by security discretion but the following factors should be considered when determining what is reasonable.

Was the device in a locked container such as a secure locker, secure briefcase, safe, secure crate, or wall locker?

Was the device and potential containers holding it secured behind access locked doors?

Was the location of the device(s) kept discrete and related information on a need to know basis?

* Excelsior equipment '''may never''' be operated by Security personnel, no matter their status within the Church, Psionic-testing or other implant-destroying augments. All Excelsior-branded technology should either be put into evidence by the Marshal department, if it is used in the conduction of a crime, or destroyed. No department may receive permission nor contraband licensing to use or otherwise utilize Excelsior technology unless an exemption is given by the High Council itself.
** Soteria Science may be handed Excelsior tech as a means of destruction. Soteria Science may not preform experiments with Excelsior tech but they may use it in a destructive analyzer to be used in the production and research of non-Excelsior technology.
** Guild may be handed Excelsior tech to be deconstructed as a means of useful destruction of Excelsior branded technology. Guild may not use nor utilize Excelsior technology itself but they may break it down in either their department's industrial autolathe or through their department's nanoforge machine.
** Marshals may utilize their Nanite Reconstructor in the armory to break down Excelsior weapons or armor. However tech like Excelsior branded cells or computer-components will not be able to be broken down by said machine. Personnel must find an alternative for those deconstruction methods.

== Modifiers & Special Situations ==
These may reduce or increase your sentence depending on circumstances relating to the crimes committed.
{| style="text-align:center; background-color:#aaffaa;" width="950px" border="1" cellspacing="0"
! style="background-color:#55ff55; width=100px" |Modifier
! style="background-color:#55ff55;" |Description
! style="background-color:#55ff55;" |Effect

|-
|'''Cooperation with Prosecution or Security'''
| To aid members of colony security, reveal evidence willingly during processing and/or provide names of accomplices involved in the charged offense.
| 25% to 50% timer reduction.

|-
|'''Surrender'''
| To willingly surrender oneself to security staff; either by the means of bringing oneself to the brig or, in a hostile situation, laying down arms and following direct orders.
| 25% to 50% timer reduction.

Execution may not be issued to those who have surrendered. Crimes worth of Holding until Transfer may be overturned at WO discretion.

|-
|'''Self Defense'''
| To have acted in the defense of oneself; ranging from physical injury of the attacker to death of the attacking party.

For this modifier to apply the party MUST have acted in defense; they are not required to retreat if there is credible threat that the attacking party may harm them or others.

The weapon used and lethality of used ammunition or weapon should be taken into account by the arresting officers to determine this modifier.

| Immediate Release.
|-
|'''Good Samaritan Clause'''
|To act in what one, or any other reasonable person, would believe is in good faith and with due caution and regards for the safety of others. Including in the defense of a person’s life or to act if another person is in imminent threat of serious injury and/or death. Failure to comply with an investigation of any crimes is not considered a “Good Samaritan” as it falls out of the category of a ‘reasonable person’.

Examples include pulling a gun to rescue a colonist from hostile lifeforms, breaking a department’s window to pull out a colonist, etc. A ‘Good Samaritan’ does not do such acts for financial compensation; any exchanging of goods for the service is no longer covered by such a modifier. Acts found to be without reason, or with flawed logic (I.e misinterpreting calls for help, ignorance of a situation or ‘over-escalation’ of a tense situation) do not count as reasonable actions and are thus not protected by this clause.
| Immediate Release, with all charges (barring that of Friendly Fire) being dropped against the individual.

|-
|'''Entrapment'''
| To be charged with a crime the offender was induced to commit by a fellow colonist and, without their help, either would not have or could not have committed.

Other forms of entrapment may vary; such as officers placing objects in public areas and waiting for them to be stolen or other colony residents operating similar traps.

| Charges should be either reduced by up to 50% on the offender or charges should be completely dropped.

In cases of security operated entrapment offenses the officers running the operation should be charged with Violation of Employee Rights.

|-
|'''Repeat Offender'''
| To be charged with the same crime/violation.

Examples include repeat offenses of vandalism, assault or contraband distribution.

| For each repeat offense the timer for the crime should be multiplied by 2. 20 minutes would become 40 minutes, etc. This also goes for fines. This only is applied for repeated crimes on the same shift.

Once a timer reaches 90 in the case of repeat crimes the offender should instead be held until shift transfer

|-
|'''Immediate Threat or Severe Health Threat to the Prisoner'''
| To be arrested or in prison in the brig during an emergency which may negatively impact the offender’s health.
| The prisoner must be relocated to a safe location. In the case where a safe location cannot be found the offender must be immediately released.

If the prisoner is serving time until transfer or until judgement their charge must be reapplied after the emergency situation has ended.

|-
|'''Medical Treatment'''
| Any injured prisoner may have this modifier applied to them. Under SoP prisoners are allowed and should be provided medical attention if sick or injured.
| Medical personnel should be called to brig or the prisoner may be treated by an officer with proper knowledge in brig medbay.

In cases of needed surgery or serious injury medical staff must be called and the prisoner escorted to medbay to undergo treatment.

Brig timer is to be left running during this unless in the case of self-harm; in which the timer should be paused until the prisoner is escorted back to their cell.

|-
|'''Use of psionic powers'''
|To use psionic powers to commit a crime of any kind. Note, the person must use their powers in aid of a crime, not simply be a psion or capable of using psionic powers.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a psion used their powers to commit a crime, however, due to the nature of psionic powers being easy to remove, hard evidence is not required. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the psion would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their powers removed via cranial surgery. Use of sedatives to prevent active power use before surgery is suggested. A psion using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their psionic powers should be removed before being defibbed.

|-
|'''Crime by AI/Cyborg'''
|For Colony AI or Cyborg to commit actions that are criminal in the eyes of the law.
|This refers to either the colony AI or the colony cyborgs. In the instance that they have committed a crime, Marshals are to operate as per normal. Soteria is to cooperate with the Marshals in regards of these matters, to see if the AI or Cyborg are malfunctioning before allowing them to be arrested. Cyborgs can have their MMIs removed and tossed into a cell to serve the appropriate amount of time, or Soteria can choose to pay for their fine. The same goes for the AI, however, a warrant is specifically required to enter its core, and Soteria personnel should accompany them to ensure matters are handled peacefully. Squads of Marshals or Shields should not be going into the core unless the AI in question is malfunctioning and/or hostile. Card the AI and toss it into the cell, much like the borgs. Once they have served their time, return them to their proper vessels. However, if it is found that these actions were done with bad evidence or in bad faith, the Marshals responsible will be charged with §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding), with possible demotion.

As a further note, the AI and Cyborgs cannot open high access areas unless in a state of emergency, for example, the Marshal, Blackshield, or Command armory. The only other time they can open such areas is to clear out infestations and nothing more.

|-
| '''Use of Genetic Enhancements'''
|To utilize any genetic enhancement to commit a crime of any kind. Note, in regards of some enhancements, the person must use them in aid of a crime, not simply be genetically enhanced or capable of using key genetic enhancements.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a genetically enhanced individual used their capabilities, unless said capabilities were passively running. However, due to the nature of genetic splicing being easy to remove with mutagenic purgers from Soteria, hard evidence is not required, albeit Soteria should have provided information that said individual was enhanced in a timely manner. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the individual would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their enhancements removed via mutagenic purger. A enhanced individual using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their genetic enhancements are to be removed immediately. Furthermore, the individual can be barred from Soteria genetics as a result of this modifier for the shift.

== Quick Reference Guide ==
This table is to describe crimes on a charge severity basis. In regards to crime stacking; crimes with the same ending numbers '''CAN NOT''' be stacked unless stated otherwise within the crimes description.

Examples include: You cannot charge a colonist with both 101 and 401; Vandalism and Sabotage. One cannot be charged with 104 and 204; Battery and Assault.

Proper charges, for example, would be as such: Offender charged with 108 for trespassing into a department, 105 for stealing an item from the department and 204 for attacking an employee trying to stop them non-violently.

|-
|001 - Defaulting on Debt
|To default on one's debt in being unable to pay it. Relates to charges of theft or if the offender is unable to pay for services; for example, medical services.
|The debtor should be either detained passively by an officer or temporarily held in processing until their fine can be paid by automatic crew wages.

Charges of battery or assault may be levied against the offender as well as the Friendly Fire charge at request of the victim. Victims of friendly fire incidents may wave charges on the offender.

All fines are to go to the victim of the friendly fire incident. In cases where the victim dies to friendly fire see Manslaughter.

In the case of a member of Blackshield committing Friendly Fire their timer or fine should be doubled.

|-
|003 - Suicide Attempt

If the colonist is not willing to file paperwork, they are to be released and High Council is to be notified. (Fax or A-help - records are a rule issue.) High Council will advise on actions to take, if any, regarding the issue.

An offender who actively lies about their implant status - such as not reporting their nanogate, psionic, or church implant within their records records is to receive a 303 charge.

Being trapped inside a dangerous area and just trying to escape doesn't count toward this.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

|-
| §202
|Obstruction of Duty
|To negatively interfere with the duties of the crew.
|Pushing a security officer trying to make an arrest, ignoring or ripping down caution tape, opening firelocks into a disaster area, dragging injured personnel away from doctors trying to treat them, or any other form of getting in the way; especially during an emergency.

|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion at the decision of the WO.

|-
| §204
|Assault
|To cause physical harm or mild injury to another employee, or brandishing a deadly weapon with the intent of causing or threatening such an injury.
|Anything beyond a few punches like in '''Battery'''. It has to be bad enough that a few bandages or pills won't fix it. This also includes poisoning with drugs, or using hallucinogens. Use of non-lethal ammunition, or other less-than-lethal means, without just cause counts as assault.

See ‘’’Aggravated Assault’’’ if any lethal ammunition are used, or if the victim suffers a broken bone or notable life-threatening hospitalization. See '''Attempted Murder''' if the intent was to kill. See ‘’’Threat of Murder or Serious Injury``` as a secondary charge to any threats made while brandishing a weapon with a stated threat to murder.

|Resisting Arrest or Sparking a Manhunt
|To not cooperate with an officer who attempts a proper arrest, or to cause a manhunt by hiding from security. Refusing a lawful search can also get you charged with 209.
|Refusing handcuffs is not resisting arrest. Refusing handcuffs and refusing to come to the brig is resisting arrest. So is pushing the officer trying to arrest you, or running away. Actively hiding or running away is what this law is for.

An officer should take into account their reason for not reporting to security immediately as well. For example, a guild master trying to stop the engine from exploding probably shouldn't be charged with resisting arrest if they ignore the fact that security wants to give them a vandalism fine for breaking a wall earlier.

Likewise, if anyone in security has threatened them with harm, not just arrest, they're somewhat justified in hiding.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

|Timer of no more than 15 minutes and an immediate search

Or a fine of up to 750 credits.

|-
| §212
|Disrespect of the Dead
|To abuse bodies of dead or previously dead people. Acts may range from non-medical or scientific desecration of a corpse to cannibalistic acts.
|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' without consent. Preventing a body from being repaired or cyborged also falls under this. Bodies rendered incapable of wound repair count as '''Murder''' instead. Those who consume body parts are to be considered hostile to the colony and its well-being; being held in HuT and may have additional charges placed on them.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

If the corpse is in anyway consumed, or eaten, the suspect should immediately be put into HuT and go through Soteria therapy programs. Execution for said crime may be viable via Low Council vote.

Or a fine of no more than 1,250 credits.

| §213
|Sexual Harassment
|To make unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks towards another employee or silicon units.
|This charge is for cases of unwanted sexual comments after the victim has requested they cease or are clearly uncomfortable and do not reciprocate.

This also applies to cases of planted evidence, confiscation of contraband if it is being used in a legal manner under the '''Contraband Policy''' or gross errors in sentencing or levied charges.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion for the rest of the work shift at the discretion of the WO.

|-
| §304

| §312
|Animal Cruelty
|To inflict unnecessary suffering or harm upon animals with malicious intent.
|Monkeys appropriately used for experiments or crew well-being (e.g genetics, virology, weapon testing, etc.) don't count. Shoving them in washing machines, or throwing them through disposals while still alive falls under this. Using them as food is a grey area; cows are generally fine, but monkey cubes and the like probably aren't.

Creatures typically considered pests (those that are by default hostile such as roaches or spiders) are not protected under this law if they aren't being kept in private areas such as personal dorms, or are fully tamed by a colonist. Tamed in this case means that they will not attack other colonists, or damage colony infrastructure.
|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

Fine may be issued to cover the animals treatment if still alive. If not a 750 credit fine may be levied on top of the brig timer.

If any named Colony Pet (Ian, Tea, Graves, Lisa, PunPun, and other pets that spawn in the colony with a roundstart name (this does not include ones made in-round unless specific by the High Council through fax/announcement) was targeted, it is an automatic 90 minute sentence.

If items cannot be recovered the offender is forced to monetarily compensate for the loss.

|-
| §406
|Operating Excelsior Equipment

|To be in illegal possession of or to actively operate Excelsior equipment.
|This applies to Excelsior batteries, guns or armor. Their lack of safety features, shoddily made structure and use in operation can endanger oneself or other colonists.

The usage of Excelsior tech also is a tell-tale sign of an Excelsior agent or collaborator.

Permits may be written in specific instances by the Warrant Officer, Brigadier, or the provost Marshal to override this law.

'''See Contraband Policy'''

Execution is encouraged; especially if deaths are caused by the action.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §502
|Mutiny
|To openly rebel against or attempt to remove command staff with violent intent to remove the command staff from power.
|One’s motive is important. If an employee is just angry at a head of staff and murders them in a fit of rage, that's just regular murder. On the other hand, trying to take over the colony through violent means, lethal or not, is mutiny.
|Holding until Judgement.

Execution is an option.

|-
| §504
|Murder or Attempted Murder
|To willfully and intentionally kill or attempt to kill a colony member or an ally of the colony. Or to prevent a rightful revival or else render a colonist unrevivable through clear action.
|Clear intent is needed to prove a case of murder over manslaughter. While Manslaughter is unintentionally causing death through accident, or unintended consequences, Murder is a purposeful act with the intent to take the life of another.

Attempts to cover up an incident of Manslaughter may necessitate a charge of murder due to pre/post meditative evidence.
Additionally, should proof positive be obtained that indicates premeditation the penalty should be automatically adjusted to H.U.T and the low council should convene to determine if more extreme penalties are warranted, up to and including execution.

|If the victim is able to be revived a timer of no less than 90 minutes may be issued. The Council may meet to determine if this sentence be should be upgraded to HuT.

If the victim is deemed unable to be revived, such as through the destruction of a brain or body, execution may be issued at the behest of the Council.

Colony residents who commit murder '''should not be revived''' if they die unless stated otherwise by the Council.

|-
| §505
|Espionage
|To gain access to in-house or proprietary Designs, Documents, Programs, or otherwise vital assets of a Colony Faction or one of the Colony's allies.
|Whether by theft, trespass, or buying such items without the departmental head's explicitly written and shown permission.

Note that this does '''NOT''' include stealing items themselves, such as constructed Guild items or items purchased through the Lonestar Trade System -- only the theft of the program itself or the designs to make more of the Guild's items, or otherwise.

|Hold until Transfer. The stolen proprietary assets should be returned to the faction or ally they were stolen from immediately unless they are directly required to be used as evidence in a tribunal. Any items gathered or created with the proprietary assets should be given to the faction or ally as well.

|-
| §508
|Grand Trespass
|To trespass into an area of high security such as an AI upload or the Marshal armory without any reason to be there; especially when a head of staff or personnel with access to said area is present.
|This does not apply to emergency situations in which a staff member may not be active. In rare cases, such as a code red incident, it may be required that staff without access enter secure areas. This requires '''proper reasoning''' such as a case of imminent threat to the colony itself or it’s inheritance; such as from a rogue AI or hostile invasion.
|Holding until Transfer.

|-
| §509
|Escaping from HuT Sentence
|To attempt or successfully escape from the brig or other holding area when serving a holding until transfer sentence.
|The offender must have been properly judged by tribunal for holding until transfer to be legally issued.
|Execution.

A tribunal is not required under this circumstance, and is the only case where this is currently so.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §510
|Wrongful Execution
|To execute a colonist who later turned out to be innocent.
|This only counts when a tribunal was held and the order was given to execute a colonist or an ally based on faulty or poor evidence that is later debunked by additional evidence. If the tribunal process is skipped, or is carried out incorrectly such as having no premier sign off, then murder is added to the charges.

The warrant officer is punished and any individuals who deliberately produced false evidence are charged with '''Murder'''. Those who unintentionally provided incorrect evidence are charged with '''Manslaughter''' and '''Negligence'''.

It is also required to contact provost marshal Boris Kilmeade if this happens.

|Immediate demotion, suspension from command for a time determined by the High Council and holding until transfer.

Provost Marshal Boris Kilmeade may overrule or specify specifics to this punishment/timer.

|-
| §512
|Slavery
|To force someone to work for no payment through force, threats or purposefully neglecting to pay them. To abuse someone and hold them against their will is also applicable; see §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding).
|This charge does not apply to the modifier '''Forced Labor''' unless it extends over 2 hours or is otherwise stated.

It is very possible that other charges may apply as the person might have been abused in some way or held against their will as well as robbed of their personal belongings. Make sure to charge the individual with all crimes committed.

|Timer of up to 60 minutes may be issued or, in cases where other crimes put the timer over 90 minutes, HuT may be issued.

|-
| §513
|Sexual Assault
|To assault, or attempt to assault, someone else sexually, including rape.
|This charge exists as a means to handle non-con scenes ICly, such as but not limited to: A player OOCly not consenting to a scene and reporting it. '''A-help staff when dealing with these charges.'''
|Permanent removal from the colony or execution.
|}

== Commentaries and Clarifications ==
* '''Common Areas''': Generally understood to be publicly accessible areas of the colony that are owned and maintained by the colony rather than as part of an individual department.
* '''Lethal Firearm''': A gun loaded or set to a fire mode that's main purpose is to inflict damage to put a person into a critical conduction and or kill. Rubbers when shot out of a gun that has mods to inflict additional damage onto the bullet itself automatically count as lethal.
* '''Cyborgification''' The removal of a person's brain for transplanting into a Cyborg Chassis as an alternative to execution. A prisoner who is sentenced to execution must request or consent to this.
* '''Dismissal''': Changing ID title to "Dismissed", which has zero access. Requires the judgement of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Demotion''': Can be demoted down to and including Assistant position. Requires the judgment of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Employee''': Employee of the colony, as defined by the colonies commanding officers. All non-employee subjects are not protected by these laws.
* '''Empowering''': Illegal acquiring (not via Head of Personnel or Colony Director) of access.
* '''Execution''': Prisoner is killed via means of firing squad, lethal injection, or other means. It is required for the premier to be present or an execution may not proceed. It is required to offer the prisoner the option of how they prefer to die. They should also be offered a last meal. It is not required to follow these preferences if they are deemed unreasonable or impossible. In all cases of execution, respective faction owners should be informed of the execution and the crimes leading up to it. (( A PK may be applicable in this situation. See [[Permanent Death]] for OOC details. ))
* '''Head of Staff''': Crew members occupying one of the following positions: Premier, Guild Master, Blackshield Commander, Warrant Officer, Chief Biolab Overseer, Chief Research Overseer, Chief Executive Officer.
* '''Imminent Peril''': A situation in which there is an apparent and immediate threat of serious injury or death, and it is not possible to escape this threat. Obvious examples are shooting someone trying to stab people. A less obvious example is shooting someone trying to sabotage Atmospherics. Lethal force is justified in such a situation because there's no other options remaining.
* '''HuJ / Holding Until Judgement''': Held (in the brig) until a tribunal is done, or the shift ends. Whichever happens first.
* '''HuT / Holding Until Transfer''': Held (in the brig) until the shift ends. This becomes HuJ when a tribunal is being held for the prisoner.
* '''Severe Injury''': A state in which the victim is in a critical condition and is having difficulty maintaining consciousness.

Demotion and dismissal also require the removal of equipment from the previous job. Uniforms, weapons, bombs, PDA cartridges, etc.

For the purposes of Cyborg/AI laws, crew members that have been convicted, or are being held in detention, are considered to be below even the AI/Cyborgs in terms of rank.

Serving sentences in jail can be replaced with forced labor in some cases.

In cases where the final sentence is more than 90 minutes, it is changed to holding until judgment.

The standard penalty can be applied without a tribunal by Security Officers. Tribunals can assign lesser or higher ones, depending on the circumstances.

== OOC Notes ==
* It's vital to know that the involvement of faction owners means involvement of admins. However, if that happens, admins will try to keep in character. Ergo, the character is '''not''' going to magically know attack logs or fingerprints or anything else they don't know IC, because it's like playing a game with cheat codes. It's fun to screw off for a little while, but then it's going to get really boring.
** The above also applies in the case of admins playing normal security.
** The only exception to the above is in the case of potentially removing a character from the station. See [[Permanent Death]] for details. Admins are not going to PK someone who they know OOCly didn't actually do the crime. If you are guilty though an a execution happens, the chance of permanent removal is extremely high. Contact an admin to find out if an executed character has been removed forever.
* '''Laws ARE NOT RULES for the server itself!''' That means, so long as you have a believable in-character motive for breaking these regulations, you won't get banned for it, especially if good roleplay is your end goal. Conversely, if you're just going around smashing windows for shits and giggles, you're ''obviously'' going to get yelled at by an admin. See [[Rules|the actual server rules]] for more details.
* Laws do NOT protect outsiders unless specified via Low Council vote, High Council decree, or in the case of colony allies. The only time laws may protect a neutral person or Outsider is in the case of the wording being 'Someone', 'Person', or 'People' - implying this would cover non-colony members as well due to its wording.

Laws

2023-03-08T18:01:35Z

Rebel0: /* Specialty Charges */

The colony laws are a series of regulations that all interest groups on the High Council have agreed to, applying them broadly to all colonists inside the colony. The colony’s Marshals are expected to uphold and enforce these laws, and all departments are expected to follow them. This is not a general guide to security. All new marshals should review the official [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]]. It is important to know that all offenses listed below should be followed as a ‘guideline’ by law enforcement personnel and do allow for victim rights and alternative solutions to minor offenses. For example, you are not required to give a sentence if the problem can be resolved in an alternative way that the suspect agrees to, such as an agreement with the victim in return for not pressing charges, or peer mediation. To understand how to go about a proper arrest, or other clarifications such as prisoner rights, alert levels, and more, see [[Standard Operating Procedure]]. Note that Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is enforced via the head of staff. To be charged with a violation of SOP, a head of staff has to request a relevant charge be levied, such as denial of a reasonable order.

'''Law's protections, and rights only apply to colonists and colony allies. Visitors, outsiders, and groups unconnected to the colony have no rights and therefore no protections under the law.'''

== Interpretation of the Law ==
'''<big>All colony law is subject to the standard of INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. No one is to ever be assumed guilty, evidence must be presented that reasonably proves guilt.</big>'''

A good working knowledge of the law is important for any person on the station. It can be the difference between a shiny pair of handcuffs and sipping drinks in the bar. More in-depth interpretations of the law are required for such positions as the ranger, officer, premier, and the warrant officer. For certain crimes, the accused party's intent is important. Intent can be the difference between a charge such as, say, manslaughter and murder. One requires purposeful intent, the other is unintentional and typically caused by negligence or workplace accident. It is also important to note that manslaughter and murder are mutually exclusive. This indicates that an individual must be charged with one or the other, not both. Neither could a colonist be charged with both assault and murder on an individual if there is only a single victim, the higher-grade charge must be the charge applied in that case.

All of this will be explained in detail as you read on, including specialty clauses, cases, guides, and explanations to how a Marshal or servant of the law should think when interpreting legal issues such as criminal acts or disputes.

Here are a few basic to-know bullet points for officers:
* '''To ensure you, as an arresting officer, don't fall into the trap of negligence or misuse of power, always follow procedure where possible as detailed by [[Standard_Operating_Procedure#Marshals|standard operating procedure]].'''
* As an arresting officer, follow the [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]] to ensure you don't fall foul of legal proceedings.
* In the case of pressed charges being in the same category (i.e Battery, Assault, Murder - or Vandalism, Theft, Grand Theft) take only the most severe charge. Any lesser charges in this case should not be applied.
* A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took 3 items off a person, this is a single count of theft. Otherwise this would count as 'crime-stacking', which is against SOP and law.
* When deciding on a timer for multiple crimes committed, take each crime into consideration separately. Then add the times together to get a final concise timer. This should be the timer issued to an offender when they are put in a cell.
* '''The time taken to bring in an offender and the time taken when questioning the offender are NOT to be calculated into their issued timer.''' Timers begin when plugged in on a cell's console. However, offenders should be processed as quick as reasonably possible as-per their rights as employees within the colony.

=== Victim Rights ===

'''A victim holds the right to drop charges if the listed charge allows it.''' This would apply to charges such as: Assault, Theft, Trespass, or other 100 to 200-tier offenses. Victims may also collect monetary value equal to their losses from the offender in question, such as any incurring medical bills or loss of property. Both of these clauses are there to allow a victim peace of mind and to make sound decisions rather than being forced into court cases.

There are some exemptions, however. Such as in the case of any 'red paragraph crime', such as those equal to a 400-level “Exceptional” charge or a 500-level “Capital” charge. These charges include crimes such as attempted murder, manslaughter, grand theft, or the like and may '''not''' be dropped at any time by a victim. The reason being that these criminal acts extend further than creating a victim, but also threatening the lives of others. Officers 'may' take into account an offender’s circumstances and a victim's testimonial when deciding intent and timers but no dropping of charges may occur.

=== Fines & Timers ===

Some crimes may offer either a fine or a timer, or in some cases, 'both' a fine and a timer together. It is ultimately at the discretion of the arresting officer and/or the warrant-filer what the punishment for an offense should be.

Fines are ultimately recommended for most low-level crimes, if they are listed under the ‘timer’ section of the quick reference guide. If, however, an offender is non-cooperative, a repeat offender, or otherwise hindering an investigation a timer should be issued instead. Fines are to be paid to the Marshal department directly, while any compensation, such as to damaged property or medical fees, should be directed to the victim and/or the victim department.

Timers are to be decided by the senior authority, typically either a ranger or warrant officer. If in the case where neither are available then the arresting officer may decide. Timers should not exceed a maximum time allocated to the charge '''unless''' modifiers are added on; such as a repeat offender who would receive double the time. Timers 'may' be less than the allocated maximum time depending on circumstances and modifiers that would normally subtract time from one’s sentence, such as cooperation with security personnel or in cases of entrapment.

== Heads of Staff & Lower Council Law ==

'''Heads of staff are not above the law, and can be arrested by the marshals for breaking it.''' The 'only' time that the law can be overridden is when there is an imminent and overwhelming threat to the colony, such as during a Code Delta scenario.

'''A determination of no-wrongdoing may result in the dismissal of charges levied or a negating of any brig time served.''' Determinations of no-wrongdoing must be done by a Warrant Officer after an investigation, which must be faxed to the Office of the Provost Marshal, the Provost Marshal himself, or the colonies High Council. Any Warrant Officer found to abuse their authority to declare improper cases of no-wrongdoing may be demoted and arrested for exceeding their official power alongside other charges, such as falsifying information or providing false testimony.

A vote held by the Lower Council may also be used to indite some charges, such as abuse of power or charges related to disrupting the Low Council. Any crime that requires judgement, such as crimes labeled as 'HuJ' / Hold until Judgement, should be decided on in a timely manner by the Lower Council through a tribunal. A tribunal '''must''' follow the Legal Standard Operating Procedure to be considered legal. A tribunal must properly vote and may only be overturned by the High Council itself. It is ultimately up to the Lower Council if they wish for a proper legal court trial or to operate as they would a normal meeting, but one of the two options must be used.

The Low Council may opt to give timers over the normal-maximum, set specialty timers, or issue specific parole conditions via tribunal and deliberation if desired. These rulings may be overturned by the High Council if its conditions are found to be unreasonable or a violation of employee rights.

=== Legal Procedure ===

Tribunals are the main way major decisions are made aboard the station and the defendant does not have to be involved. There is not specified length for how long a tribunal must be. Basically it's the same as the old trial, but without a jury and slightly streamlined. An AI may fill in for a premier for tribunals and can be trusted to be accurate, however, an AI may not replace a premier for the purpose of voting for execution.

* '''Purpose:''' For crimes or decisions that require more than one person, or crimes where there is no set punishment.

* '''Overview:''' A minimum of three heads of staff must discuss this issue and vote on the outcome with a premier (or AI substitute) over seeing the tribunal.

* '''Process:''' The premier (or stand-in AI) should call the heads of staff for a tribunal with the situation and proposed outcome. This can be done formally in a meeting room, or informally over radio.

* '''Conviction:''' The tribunal must vote on the outcome, and the outcome must win by a majority vote (over 50%). If there is a tie, the premier's vote wins. For an execution to take place, the vote must be unanimous.

* '''Sentencing:''' If the vote passes, the outcome may be enacted, usually by the marshals. The decision can be appealed once by either the defendant or a volunteer.

== Law in Relation to Outsiders, Allies, & Others ==

Colony law is '''not''' extended to neutral parties inherently. Outsiders, for example, have no inherant legal rights or protections. However, some laws do apply to protect outsiders as well, including all intelligent, sapient beings. This includes other intelligent races, ranging from Humans to Mycus, to anything of higher intelligence including robots with self awareness.

For simple terminology of colony law:
*'''"Employee" / "Colonist"''' = A member of the colony or an employee of one of the colony's various factions. These rights are extended to all members of the colony and all members of departments.
* '''"People" / "Person" / "Someone"''' = This covers '''any''' sapient, intelligent being, regardless of their allegiance. Outsiders, hostiles, allies, etc. This term is used only rarely, but is typically used to refer to crimes such as desecration of a corpse due to the criminal and inhumane act of cannibalism, or in reference to inhumane acts such as the act of enslavement.

Outsiders are only protected under colony law under the term 'people', 'person', 'someone', or if granted entry to the colony via vote for visitation or sale of goods. When an Outsider is granted entry, they have the same rights as a citizen of the colony - until they are ejected or their visitation period ends. At that point legal protection ends.

Lodge members and other colony-aligned factions have full rights of a normal colonist. For information on this, and neutral parties, this can be found in Standard Operating Procedure. Attacking a non-hostile neutral party can result in a charge of '''Terrorism''' depending on the incident. Neutral party refers to a neutral organization, not individuals such as Outsiders.

Security personnel are to obey these clauses and understand the wording.

==Salvaging Rights==

These laws will attempt to make clear what is, and is not salvage. Who has rights over what claims, the proper handling of claims and so fourth. These laws MUST be enforced by Nadezhda Marshals, or Blackshield, depending on the jurisdiction of the 'claim' and apply to all colonists of the Nadezdha Colony as well as Colony Allies and 'Neutral' third parties.
Basic salvage rights entail only the following caveats;
* Trash piles, unclaimed and clearly unowned items and storage containers are the rightful property of the 'first claimant'. A trash pile belongs to the first person to touch it, an abandoned locker to the first one to reach it, et cetera.
* Clearly owned property must be respected. A labeled cart, a gun who's serial is registered and thus known - these are considered personal property, and must be respected.
Additionally the following rules apply to all 'claims'
* If an item is stolen and then rediscovered in an area that would normally count as right-to-loot then it must be returned as it is their rightful property.
* Crime scenes. Any item taken from a crime scene is chargeable by theft, obstruction of duty, and suspicious conduct. A crime scene's boundaries will be clearly marked by tape set up by Marshals or Blackshield.
* Items dropped by colonists or allies due to severe injuries are their rightful property, and MUST be returned.
* The areas owned by colony allies or factions (such as Voidwolf ally Ships or the Soteria Solar Outpost), and clearly defined departmental zones are barred from allowing salvage claims.

===Types of Salvage Claims===
In summary, there are four types of salvage areas. Claimed, Unclaimed, disputed and free

*Claimed areas are those within colony borders(or the borders of colony allies) that have a lawful mandate placed over them, determined typically by the High Council, or at times low council. These locations are the claim-right of a particular faction, ally, et cetera. The FULL contents of these areas is the rightful claim of their respective owners, and any contents taken are effectively treated as their 'rightful property'. Though mere presence on a claim is not generally sufficient to result in charges, the removal of property from them(I.E scavving) is cause for charges of trespass, theft, and grand theft. Additionally, a modifier "Breach of salvage rights" should be applied to each of these charges and any items taken returned or, if not possible - their value owed in remediation.

*Unclaimed areas, while still within colony property, have no rightful claim placed on them, such claims may be enacted at the discretion of the High council, foreman and low council(in that order of importance), having to be properly ratified and faxed to be valid.

*Uncontested areas are new zones or uncertain zones that have no current claims. While they may be within the borders of the Colony or its Allies, they are generally free to loot so long as general scavenging rules are observed. Conflicts, theft and similar SHALL be punished by law.

*Free areas are neither within colony territory nor hold any special claim. These areas are typically considered 'free' of salvage rights and include but are not limited to; the untamed wilds past the colony border and space(and areas located within that do not fall under the purview of the previous types of claims).

===Known claims and their status===
*The Nadezdha colony maintains that the areas in its immediate vicinity, as well as the jungle directly south and the crater directly west are 'colony property' and not subject to claims by non-colony forces.

*Colony maintenance is 'unclaimed', thus only basic salvage rights must be respected.

*The Prospectors hold exclusive claims over the following areas; Greyson Positronics field offices and attached locations, this include the Greyson Positronics Gantlet. 'Preppers' bunker. 'Ironhead compound' Smuggler base. 'Zoo' research facility.

*The 'Scrap haven' is, as of now, a shared claim between the Prospectors and Hunters lodge - However, the Hunters Lodge has abdicated any right to lease their hold on the claim.

*The hunters Lodge holds exclusive claim over the following areas; The lodge itself and land upon which it sits, and the plains in the immediate vicinity of their lodge

*The 'Salvage Fields' are 'free' claims, though basic salvage rights should be respected.

*The assorted, smaller 'Points of Interest' in the immediate vicinity of the colony are 'uncontested'(E.G, scorched outpost, lost outpost, etc).

===Enforcement of Claims and Jurisdiction.===
As previously stated, it is the duty of Marshals and Blackshield to enforce salvaging rights - though they may vary on where their areas of jurisdiction come into play. 
Blackshield are largely expected to handle matters of salvage disputes where exterior forces threaten Nadezdha Colony(or upon request, colony allies) claims. Exterior factions attempted to jump claims owned by Prospectors should result in their dispatching. 
Marshals however are granted jurisdiction over legal matters of enforcement. Colonists jumping claims that are rightfully held should be charged accounting for the details of the matter. 
In the event where jurisdiction may be at question, it is important to remember that while the blackshield holds legal jurisdiction outside the perimeter fence - they are typically less oriented in the minutiae of law, and should they have to step in to enforce claims upon colonists past the walls they must hand over said colonists on return for processing by Marshals. 

===Additional Caveats===
*Salvage rights may, at the determination of their holder - be granted or leased. E.G, The Prospectors may, at the determination of the Foreman or Overboss Hogg grant rights over claims to other factions, allies, etc.
*The leasing of scav-rights by Foremen must, by order of Overboss Hogg be both A. reported to his office and either a cut of the total salvage or trade of 'equal value' taken. The Overboss adds that the job of prospectors is not to make friends, but to make money and that failure to properly extract value from such deals will result in consequences
*Though it is held that claimants have the right to defend their stake(with force if necessary) it is expected that Claimants use reasoned force in such and that the holding of such stakes be clearly communicated. E.G; A neutral party trespasses on a Colony claim, prospectors must clearly communicate that such a claim exists and offer opportunity for the claim-juimpers to return the stolen salvage and leave before force is used.
*Lonestar's disposal and recycling room. Lonestar shares the rights with the Church to this area but the church may not take any form of materials or items except items containing significant bio-matter (ex. animal meat, bio sheets, food, clothing, etc. etc.). Neither faction may order the other to leave under any circumstance, this location is considered jointly controlled and should not be modified without approval of the prime and CEO.
*Areas outside of the planets orbit, such as the nearby asteroid field in space, are not claimed by the colony directly. Salvagers and security forces operating there may salvage, but hold no direct claim over the materials there.

=== Minor Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Thermals are considered contraband for all departments. Thermals are however permitted outside the colony or during a declared red alert level. This goes for the augmentations, glasses, helmets or rig-suit modules. The following items are considered thermals: Augmented shades, Thermo-nightvision helmets, Thermal goggles, Thermal augmentations and bioaugmentations. Along with any hardsuit modules that contain thermals.
** If either Church or Soteria provide to a colonist thermals illegally they are to be charged for minor contraband. If a Soteria staff continues to do so repeatedly, then they are to be demoted immediately. Heads of staff in Soteria or the Church continuing are to be detained, charged with abusing their executive powers, and demoted after a fax has been sent up to the faction leader.
** Permits can temporarily be issued by a Warrant Officer for their usage or transportation through the colony. Any surgical implantation of thermal augments by Soteria requires a properly written form signed by both the doctor and the Warrant Officer permitting such augments be used under Soteria's supervision.
* The shooting range is considered a testing zone for science. Items sent from science to the range for testing must be announced over general comms. In the instance of Soteria testing explosives up at the shooting range, it must be a device capable of small explosives only. Larger explosions are to be tested out in the mines.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered minor contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* All encryption keys that are not supplied to a colonists workplace are considered minor contraband. If sensitive or private information is gained through the use of encryption keys that a colonist should not have access to they should also be charged with violation of employee privacy. This is applied even if it was not the intent of the person using the encryption key. Legal access to an encryption key can be given by any employee of the faction or head of staff, but the head of staff reserves the right to remove any access to any non-employee at any time for any reason. Please note that allies and neutral factions may have their own encryption keys - these are not illegal and should never be taken away.
* ID cards that are modified to give access to a normal departmental area of the colony without head departmental permissions are considered contrband. If, however, this access is issued either by a relevant head of staff or during the case of an emergency no timer or charge should apply. Legal access may be given by a head of staff to their department to another employee at anytime but may also be revoked at any time at the discression of the issuing head of department.
* Any weapons confiscated as in violation of the colony's 'Long Arm Policy' are considered contraband items. They are to be logged and placed into storage effective immediately in accordance with SOP.

=== Major Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Soteria may test combat mechs at a firing range or outside the colony but '''must''' announce any and all movements of where the mech will be moving. Including the starting point to the desired ending point of the travel. These mechs may '''not''' be left in public spaces or otherwise operated, apart from moving through, public spaces unless exemptions are provided in the case of an emergency by security personnel.
** Permits for a combat mech may be temporarily issued by a Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist to non-Soteria personnel. The [[Example_Paperwork#Item_Application|proper forms]] should be filled out and the mech either housed inside of the employee's designated department or within Soteria's mech bay when not being used. Transporting any combat mech of any kind must be announced over public comms and cannot be driven freely across the colony. This policy and associated paperwork applies to any mech, including those obtained through salvage.
** Non-standard combat mechs / Non-combat mechs rigged for combat are not legal to own nor may receive licenses for normal usage. However, during Code Red or Code Delta emergencies they may be utilized by security personnel or otherwise permitted to be used by personnel determined to be fit and trust worthy by security personnel. All jury rigged weapons should be removed after the state of emergency without exception.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered major contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* Bluespace harpoons, and other teleportation items, may be used for research purposes by Soteria institute personnel. However, this does not mean they can be transported openly nor used or otherwise utilized outside of Soteria research departmental grounds. If transported outside of the department major contraband charges are applicable. If misused to teleport and employee unwillingly, as teleportation can be incredibly dangerous if not life threatening, see §413 - Unwilling Teleportation.

==== Explosive Exemptions ====
Contraband explosives are considered, but not limited to: any device presently capable of causing wide-spread and reasonably uncontrolled damage. This includes, but is not limited to, frag grenades, incendiary grenades, EMP grenades, tank transfer bombs, explosives grenades, incendiary grenades, land mines, and other similar objects capable of replicating any of the listed items effects. Items such as non-explosive flashbangs, smoke grenades, or cleaning grenades are not considered explosives. An oxygen tank, transfer valve, plasma tank, or scrap rifle with its safety measures enable would not count individually as explosives, only if the devices were within reasonable proximity and had steps taken to allow them to be used as explosives. I.E. a scrap rifle with its safety systems off is contraband, a persons bag containing heated plasma tanks, oxygen tanks, and transfer valves would be reasonably considered an explosive object. This exception only applies if the objects are, viably, capable of causing an explosion, if the plasma tank and oxygen tanks are empty and cannot explode it would not be considered contraband. Best and reasonable judgment applies.

Exceptions to the above clause may only be found in four cases:

1. The Marshals and Blackshield may use whatever explosives they require to perform their duties during a code blue or higher scenario. Responsibility for all damage to persons or property are the sole responsibility of the individual using the explosive devices. Low-yield grenades and small-arms explosive ordinance, such as grenade launcher rounds, may be tested at Marshal or Blackshield ranges with proper notification that explosives will be fired at the specified range.

2. Soteria Research may use any manner of explosives in the pursuit of research, the determination of what is considered ‘research’ is left to the sole discretion of the chief research overseer or, in the event one is not present, the biolab overseer. If neither is present, a low council vote is required to determine if the pursuit of research is considered scientific.

3. Prospectors may carry and use explosives outside colony walls at their discretion, provided the explosive do not damage colony property or other persons from the colony or colony allies. Prospectors must hold all explosives within their department or with security in either the gate house or armory. The transportation of explosives should always be announced publicly, similar to the transport of rifle class firearms.
In the event a prospectors wishes to sell explosive devices, be it to Soteria or Lonestar, this must be done with a member of the blackshield or marshal present and in the lobby of the respective department. In this scenario the explosive(s) must be stored in the buying department immediately. A form and record of the transaction should be recorded by security and filed with the WO, premier, sergeant, commander, and supply specialist.

4. Permits '''may''' be written for temporary explosive usage within determined location at the descression of the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist. Examples would be the allowance of Lonestar mining personnel to make use of small-yield explosive devices in mining operations, or temporary permits for Church for the transport of grenades for use in Deep Maintenance.

Failure to comply with the above section can and will result in the applicable charges and fines as expected by discretion of security personnel. This may include, but is not directly required to, charges of major contraband or negligence. In the event the explosive device is misused this may be upgraded to additional charges of terrorism, manslaughter, or murder. Improperly stored explosives that are stolen may confer charges both to the individual who stole and misused them and the individual who failed to properly safe keep the explosive devices, in this event both individuals receive the same charges regardless of fault.

Reasonable storage of an explosive device is determined by security discretion but the following factors should be considered when determining what is reasonable.

Was the device in a locked container such as a secure locker, secure briefcase, safe, secure crate, or wall locker?

Was the device and potential containers holding it secured behind access locked doors?

Was the location of the device(s) kept discrete and related information on a need to know basis?

=== Excelsior Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Excelsior equipment '''may never''' be operated by Security personnel, no matter their status within the Church, Psionic-testing or other implant-destroying augments. All Excelsior-branded technology should either be put into evidence by the Marshal department, if it is used in the conduction of a crime, or destroyed. No department may receive permission nor contraband licensing to use or otherwise utilize Excelsior technology unless an exemption is given by the High Council itself.
** Soteria Science may be handed Excelsior tech as a means of destruction. Soteria Science may not preform experiments with Excelsior tech but they may use it in a destructive analyzer to be used in the production and research of non-Excelsior technology.
** Guild may be handed Excelsior tech to be deconstructed as a means of useful destruction of Excelsior branded technology. Guild may not use nor utilize Excelsior technology itself but they may break it down in either their department's industrial autolathe or through their department's nanoforge machine.
** Marshals may utilize their Nanite Reconstructor in the armory to break down Excelsior weapons or armor. However tech like Excelsior branded cells or computer-components will not be able to be broken down by said machine. Personnel must find an alternative for those deconstruction methods.

== Modifiers & Special Situations ==
These may reduce or increase your sentence depending on circumstances relating to the crimes committed.
{| style="text-align:center; background-color:#aaffaa;" width="950px" border="1" cellspacing="0"
! style="background-color:#55ff55; width=100px" |Modifier
! style="background-color:#55ff55;" |Description
! style="background-color:#55ff55;" |Effect

|-
|'''Cooperation with Prosecution or Security'''
| To aid members of colony security, reveal evidence willingly during processing and/or provide names of accomplices involved in the charged offense.
| 25% to 50% timer reduction.

|-
|'''Surrender'''
| To willingly surrender oneself to security staff; either by the means of bringing oneself to the brig or, in a hostile situation, laying down arms and following direct orders.
| 25% to 50% timer reduction.

Execution may not be issued to those who have surrendered. Crimes worth of Holding until Transfer may be overturned at WO discretion.

|-
|'''Self Defense'''
| To have acted in the defense of oneself; ranging from physical injury of the attacker to death of the attacking party.

For this modifier to apply the party MUST have acted in defense; they are not required to retreat if there is credible threat that the attacking party may harm them or others.

The weapon used and lethality of used ammunition or weapon should be taken into account by the arresting officers to determine this modifier.

| Immediate Release.
|-
|'''Good Samaritan Clause'''
|To act in what one, or any other reasonable person, would believe is in good faith and with due caution and regards for the safety of others. Including in the defense of a person’s life or to act if another person is in imminent threat of serious injury and/or death. Failure to comply with an investigation of any crimes is not considered a “Good Samaritan” as it falls out of the category of a ‘reasonable person’.

Examples include pulling a gun to rescue a colonist from hostile lifeforms, breaking a department’s window to pull out a colonist, etc. A ‘Good Samaritan’ does not do such acts for financial compensation; any exchanging of goods for the service is no longer covered by such a modifier. Acts found to be without reason, or with flawed logic (I.e misinterpreting calls for help, ignorance of a situation or ‘over-escalation’ of a tense situation) do not count as reasonable actions and are thus not protected by this clause.
| Immediate Release, with all charges (barring that of Friendly Fire) being dropped against the individual.

|-
|'''Victim in a Willfully Dangerous Position'''
| For a victim to have willingly consented to put themselves into a dangerous situation such as volunteering in the name of science or to insert themselves into a dangerous situation that is not inherently suicidal.

When charging the offender the victims willingness to insert themselves into a dangerous situation should be taken into offense.

|-
|'''Entrapment'''
| To be charged with a crime the offender was induced to commit by a fellow colonist and, without their help, either would not have or could not have committed.

Other forms of entrapment may vary; such as officers placing objects in public areas and waiting for them to be stolen or other colony residents operating similar traps.

| Charges should be either reduced by up to 50% on the offender or charges should be completely dropped.

In cases of security operated entrapment offenses the officers running the operation should be charged with Violation of Employee Rights.

|-
|'''Repeat Offender'''
| To be charged with the same crime/violation.

Examples include repeat offenses of vandalism, assault or contraband distribution.

| For each repeat offense the timer for the crime should be multiplied by 2. 20 minutes would become 40 minutes, etc. This also goes for fines. This only is applied for repeated crimes on the same shift.

Once a timer reaches 90 in the case of repeat crimes the offender should instead be held until shift transfer

|-
|'''Immediate Threat or Severe Health Threat to the Prisoner'''
| To be arrested or in prison in the brig during an emergency which may negatively impact the offender’s health.
| The prisoner must be relocated to a safe location. In the case where a safe location cannot be found the offender must be immediately released.

If the prisoner is serving time until transfer or until judgement their charge must be reapplied after the emergency situation has ended.

|-
|'''Medical Treatment'''
| Any injured prisoner may have this modifier applied to them. Under SoP prisoners are allowed and should be provided medical attention if sick or injured.
| Medical personnel should be called to brig or the prisoner may be treated by an officer with proper knowledge in brig medbay.

In cases of needed surgery or serious injury medical staff must be called and the prisoner escorted to medbay to undergo treatment.

Brig timer is to be left running during this unless in the case of self-harm; in which the timer should be paused until the prisoner is escorted back to their cell.

|-
|'''Use of psionic powers'''
|To use psionic powers to commit a crime of any kind. Note, the person must use their powers in aid of a crime, not simply be a psion or capable of using psionic powers.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a psion used their powers to commit a crime, however, due to the nature of psionic powers being easy to remove, hard evidence is not required. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the psion would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their powers removed via cranial surgery. Use of sedatives to prevent active power use before surgery is suggested. A psion using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their psionic powers should be removed before being defibbed.

|-
|'''Crime by AI/Cyborg'''
|For Colony AI or Cyborg to commit actions that are criminal in the eyes of the law.
|This refers to either the colony AI or the colony cyborgs. In the instance that they have committed a crime, Marshals are to operate as per normal. Soteria is to cooperate with the Marshals in regards of these matters, to see if the AI or Cyborg are malfunctioning before allowing them to be arrested. Cyborgs can have their MMIs removed and tossed into a cell to serve the appropriate amount of time, or Soteria can choose to pay for their fine. The same goes for the AI, however, a warrant is specifically required to enter its core, and Soteria personnel should accompany them to ensure matters are handled peacefully. Squads of Marshals or Shields should not be going into the core unless the AI in question is malfunctioning and/or hostile. Card the AI and toss it into the cell, much like the borgs. Once they have served their time, return them to their proper vessels. However, if it is found that these actions were done with bad evidence or in bad faith, the Marshals responsible will be charged with §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding), with possible demotion.

As a further note, the AI and Cyborgs cannot open high access areas unless in a state of emergency, for example, the Marshal, Blackshield, or Command armory. The only other time they can open such areas is to clear out infestations and nothing more.

|-
| '''Use of Genetic Enhancements'''
|To utilize any genetic enhancement to commit a crime of any kind. Note, in regards of some enhancements, the person must use them in aid of a crime, not simply be genetically enhanced or capable of using key genetic enhancements.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a genetically enhanced individual used their capabilities, unless said capabilities were passively running. However, due to the nature of genetic splicing being easy to remove with mutagenic purgers from Soteria, hard evidence is not required, albeit Soteria should have provided information that said individual was enhanced in a timely manner. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the individual would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their enhancements removed via mutagenic purger. A enhanced individual using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their genetic enhancements are to be removed immediately. Furthermore, the individual can be barred from Soteria genetics as a result of this modifier for the shift.
|}

== Quick Reference Guide ==
This table is to describe crimes on a charge severity basis. In regards to crime stacking; crimes with the same ending numbers '''CAN NOT''' be stacked unless stated otherwise within the crimes description.

Examples include: You cannot charge a colonist with both 101 and 401; Vandalism and Sabotage. One cannot be charged with 104 and 204; Battery and Assault.

Proper charges, for example, would be as such: Offender charged with 108 for trespassing into a department, 105 for stealing an item from the department and 204 for attacking an employee trying to stop them non-violently.

==Specialty Charges==
Speciality Charges refer to charges out of the ordinary; such as cases of friendly fire, defaulting on ones debt or attempting/threatening to commit suicide. These crimes are either minimum and typically handled non-judicially, have special precautions or levying methods or require specific handling.

|To accidentally commit friendly fire during a firefight as a member of the colony or it’s security team.

|A fine of up to 1,000 credits may be issued depending on the severity of injuries. Low injuries such as bruises should not exceed 500 credits. Injuries such as fractures or injuries that leave a patient in codification condition should be 1,000 credits.

Charges of battery or assault may be levied against the offender as well as the Friendly Fire charge at request of the victim. Victims of friendly fire incidents may wave charges on the offender.

All fines are to go to the victim of the friendly fire incident. In cases where the victim dies to friendly fire see Manslaughter.

In the case of a member of Blackshield committing Friendly Fire their timer or fine should be doubled.

|-
|003 - Suicide Attempt
|To physically attempt to or credibly threaten to end one's own life either through radio communications or while in brig.
|Place prisoner on ‘suicide watch’. The prisoner should be straight jacketed to their cell bed for the duration of their timer.

|This does not apply to outsiders visiting the colony nor members of the Hunters Lodge.

All members of the colony are required to meet the minimum requirements highlighted [[Example_Paperwork#Character_Records|within the Character Records Section of Example Paperwork]].

If a colonist does not meet this requirement, Security personnel should interview the colonist and aid them in setting up required records, providing a format sheet for them to fill out and put on file.

If the colonist is not willing to file paperwork, they are to be released and High Council is to be notified. (Fax or A-help - records are a rule issue.) High Council will advise on actions to take, if any, regarding the issue.

An offender who actively lies about their implant status - such as not reporting their nanogate, psionic, or church implant within their records records is to receive a 303 charge.

| §201
|Failure to Obey Safety Protocol
|To willfully ignore safety measures keeping crew out of a crisis zone.
|Non-engineers opening fire shutters, civilians breaking down security barriers, or anyone ignoring caution tape without being qualified to handle whatever is behind it, are all examples of this.

If a colonist is killed because of it, add Manslaughter to the charges.

Being trapped inside a dangerous area and just trying to escape doesn't count toward this.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

|-
| §202
|Obstruction of Duty
|To negatively interfere with the duties of the crew.
|Pushing a security officer trying to make an arrest, ignoring or ripping down caution tape, opening firelocks into a disaster area, dragging injured personnel away from doctors trying to treat them, or any other form of getting in the way; especially during an emergency. Making false or malicious emergency calls that take personnel away from their other duties also comes under this.

If a colonist is injured because of this, see '''Assault'''. If serious damage occurs because of this, see '''Sabotage'''. If a colonist dies because of this, see '''Manslaughter'''.
|Timer of no more than 20 minutes

Or a fine of no more than 1,250 credits.

|-
| §203
|Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding
|To arrest, brig, or punish an employee without proper cause or reason, or in violation of due process rights such as Habeas Corpus.
|This is mainly for marshal officers who believe they are THE LAW. Also applies to kidnapping. Excessive/disproportionate time spent processing or questioning may fall under this category for minor crimes.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion at the decision of the WO.

|-
| §204
|Assault
|To cause physical harm or mild injury to another employee, or brandishing a deadly weapon with the intent of causing or threatening such an injury.
|Anything beyond a few punches like in '''Battery'''. It has to be bad enough that a few bandages or pills won't fix it. This also includes poisoning with drugs, or using hallucinogens. Use of non-lethal ammunition, or other less-than-lethal means, without just cause counts as assault.

See ‘’’Aggravated Assault’’’ if any lethal ammunition are used, or if the victim suffers a broken bone or notable life-threatening hospitalization. See '''Attempted Murder''' if the intent was to kill. See ‘’’Threat of Murder or Serious Injury``` as a secondary charge to any threats made while brandishing a weapon with a stated threat to murder.
|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

Any cost of medical treatment must be paid immediately to the victim by the offender. If the offender cannot afford the medical treatment cost, see ```Defaulting on Debt.```

If a bribery is accepted both parties are to be charged with this.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes and the confiscation of contraband items.

|-
| §207
|Escaping from Confinement / Debt
|To escape from confinement as a convict who was serving a non-life sentence or was awaiting judgement. This also applies to fleeing a forced labor contract.

|Reset original timer for offenses committed and add an additional 20 minutes for escaping.

|-
| §209
|Resisting Arrest or Sparking a Manhunt
|To not cooperate with an officer who attempts a proper arrest, or to cause a manhunt by hiding from security. Refusing a lawful search can also get you charged with 209.
|Refusing handcuffs is not resisting arrest. Refusing handcuffs and refusing to come to the brig is resisting arrest. So is pushing the officer trying to arrest you, or running away. Actively hiding or running away is what this law is for.

An officer should take into account their reason for not reporting to security immediately as well. For example, a guild master trying to stop the engine from exploding probably shouldn't be charged with resisting arrest if they ignore the fact that security wants to give them a vandalism fine for breaking a wall earlier.

Likewise, if anyone in security has threatened them with harm, not just arrest, they're somewhat justified in hiding.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

|-
| §210
|Excessive Use of Force
|To use more than the required force to subdue a suspect as a security member.
|Examples of this charge include using force against an unarmed and compliant suspect and usage of lethal weapons without there being imminent peril.

|Timer of no more than 15 minutes and an immediate search

Or a fine of up to 750 credits.

|-
| §212
|Disrespect of the Dead
|To abuse bodies of dead or previously dead people. Acts may range from non-medical or scientific desecration of a corpse to cannibalistic acts.
|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' without consent. Preventing a body from being repaired or cyborged also falls under this. Bodies rendered incapable of wound repair count as '''Murder''' instead. Those who consume body parts are to be considered hostile to the colony and its well-being; being held in HuT and may have additional charges placed on them.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

If the corpse is in anyway consumed, or eaten, the suspect should immediately be put into HuT and go through Soteria therapy programs. Execution for said crime may be viable via Low Council vote.

Or a fine of no more than 1,250 credits.

| §301
|Negligence
|To fail to perform a job to a satisfactory standard, or to create a dangerous situation without taking proper precautions.
|This can be due to honest, or dishonest mistakes. This is usually because an employee ignored Standard Operating Procedure and an accident occurred because of that. This charge also applies to creating a hazardous area or otherwise introducing a hazard to an area without proper permission or precautions. For example: Putting excessive power into the grid and reasoning it's the crew's fault if they get shocked, and so on.

If a colonist is killed because of it, see '''Manslaughter'''.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §302
|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.
|While similar to '''Failure to Execute''' an Order this charge is applied if a member of the colony is injured via the refusal of an order or if notable damage to the colony is done via refusing to follow an order.

Examples are medical doctors ignoring the chief biolab overseer while patients are piling up in medbay, etc.

If the refusal to follow an order results in death, see '''Manslaughter'''.

This also applies to cases of planted evidence, confiscation of contraband if it is being used in a legal manner under the '''Contraband Policy''' or gross errors in sentencing or levied charges.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion for the rest of the work shift at the discretion of the WO.

For LTL round usage that do ‘not’ result in broken bones or cause a life threatening injury, but may still embed, see ```Assault```.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Any cost of medical treatment must be paid immediately to the victim by the offender. If the offender cannot afford the medical treatment cost, see ```Defaulting on Debt.```

| §306
|Illegal Modification of AI/Cyborg
|To modify the laws of a cyborg or artificial intelligence, without need, proper access, or authority.

|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

|-
| §310
|Severe Use of Excessive Force
|Critically injuring a colonist in defense of yourself or others while they no longer pose a threat, or seriously injuring a suspect while attempting to detain them.
|Severely injuring a colonist attacking you or others with no obvious threat to life, or panicking and shooting a suspect to near-death. Subjects who cannot be cuffed and have their legs broken as a result do not count if the subject refused to comply after 3 warnings and a witness is available to confirm each warning.
|Timer of no more than 40 minutes.

|-
| §311
|Breach of Salvage Rights
|To violate salvage rights by means of theft, 'claim jumping', or otherwise taking undue action against a rightful claimant.
|The consideration of the stolen item(s) value should be taken into account when issuing this charge. This charge may ```NOT``` be placed alongside any theft or grand-theft charges.
|Any stolen items should be returned to the proper salvage-claim holder. If the items are non-recoverable, or have been sold off, the offender is to repay that market-price of the stolen items to the victim. If the offender is not able to pay, apply specialty charge ```001 - Defaulting on Debt```.

A timer of no more than 20 minutes may be issued on the offender alongside a 250 credit fine.

|-
| §312
|Animal Cruelty
|To inflict unnecessary suffering or harm upon animals with malicious intent.
|Monkeys appropriately used for experiments or crew well-being (e.g genetics, virology, weapon testing, etc.) don't count. Shoving them in washing machines, or throwing them through disposals while still alive falls under this. Using them as food is a grey area; cows are generally fine, but monkey cubes and the like probably aren't.

Creatures typically considered pests (those that are by default hostile such as roaches or spiders) are not protected under this law if they aren't being kept in private areas such as personal dorms, or are fully tamed by a colonist. Tamed in this case means that they will not attack other colonists, or damage colony infrastructure.
|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

Fine may be issued to cover the animals treatment if still alive. If not a 750 credit fine may be levied on top of the brig timer.

If any named Colony Pet (Ian, Tea, Graves, Lisa, PunPun, and other pets that spawn in the colony with a roundstart name (this does not include ones made in-round unless specific by the High Council through fax/announcement) was targeted, it is an automatic 90 minute sentence.

|Timer of no more than 45 minutes

|-
| §403
|Exceeding Official Powers
|To act beyond what is allowed by the chain of command.
|This is for anyone who abuses the power given to them, such as the premier acting like a security officer in a non-emergency, the warrant officer acting as if he is above the law, etc. Heads of staff trying to order a different department or ignoring a council vote also comes under this, as does security staff attempting to give orders to non-security without legal justification.

If items cannot be recovered the offender is forced to monetarily compensate for the loss.

|-
| §406
|Operating Excelsior Equipment

|To be in illegal possession of or to actively operate Excelsior equipment.
|This applies to Excelsior batteries, guns or armor. Their lack of safety features, shoddily made structure and use in operation can endanger oneself or other colonists.

The usage of Excelsior tech also is a tell-tale sign of an Excelsior agent or collaborator.

Permits may be written in specific instances by the Warrant Officer, Brigadier, or the provost Marshal to override this law.

'''See Contraband Policy'''
|Immediate medical examination and confiscation of equipment.

Execution is encouraged; especially if deaths are caused by the action.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §502
|Mutiny
|To openly rebel against or attempt to remove command staff with violent intent to remove the command staff from power.
|One’s motive is important. If an employee is just angry at a head of staff and murders them in a fit of rage, that's just regular murder. On the other hand, trying to take over the colony through violent means, lethal or not, is mutiny.
|Holding until Judgement.

Execution is an option.

|-
| §504
|Murder or Attempted Murder
|To willfully and intentionally kill or attempt to kill a colony member or an ally of the colony. Or to prevent a rightful revival or else render a colonist unrevivable through clear action.
|Clear intent is needed to prove a case of murder over manslaughter. While Manslaughter is unintentionally causing death through accident, or unintended consequences, Murder is a purposeful act with the intent to take the life of another.

Attempts to cover up an incident of Manslaughter may necessitate a charge of murder due to pre/post meditative evidence.
Additionally, should proof positive be obtained that indicates premeditation the penalty should be automatically adjusted to H.U.T and the low council should convene to determine if more extreme penalties are warranted, up to and including execution.

|If the victim is able to be revived a timer of no less than 90 minutes may be issued. The Council may meet to determine if this sentence be should be upgraded to HuT.

If the victim is deemed unable to be revived, such as through the destruction of a brain or body, execution may be issued at the behest of the Council.

Colony residents who commit murder '''should not be revived''' if they die unless stated otherwise by the Council.

|-
| §505
|Espionage
|To gain access to in-house or proprietary Designs, Documents, Programs, or otherwise vital assets of a Colony Faction or one of the Colony's allies.
|Whether by theft, trespass, or buying such items without the departmental head's explicitly written and shown permission.

Note that this does '''NOT''' include stealing items themselves, such as constructed Guild items or items purchased through the Lonestar Trade System -- only the theft of the program itself or the designs to make more of the Guild's items, or otherwise.

|Hold until Transfer. The stolen proprietary assets should be returned to the faction or ally they were stolen from immediately unless they are directly required to be used as evidence in a tribunal. Any items gathered or created with the proprietary assets should be given to the faction or ally as well.

|-
| §508
|Grand Trespass
|To trespass into an area of high security such as an AI upload or the Marshal armory without any reason to be there; especially when a head of staff or personnel with access to said area is present.
|This does not apply to emergency situations in which a staff member may not be active. In rare cases, such as a code red incident, it may be required that staff without access enter secure areas. This requires '''proper reasoning''' such as a case of imminent threat to the colony itself or it’s inheritance; such as from a rogue AI or hostile invasion.
|Holding until Transfer.

|-
| §509
|Escaping from HuT Sentence
|To attempt or successfully escape from the brig or other holding area when serving a holding until transfer sentence.
|The offender must have been properly judged by tribunal for holding until transfer to be legally issued.
|Execution.

A tribunal is not required under this circumstance, and is the only case where this is currently so.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §510
|Wrongful Execution
|To execute a colonist who later turned out to be innocent.
|This only counts when a tribunal was held and the order was given to execute a colonist or an ally based on faulty or poor evidence that is later debunked by additional evidence. If the tribunal process is skipped, or is carried out incorrectly such as having no premier sign off, then murder is added to the charges.

The warrant officer is punished and any individuals who deliberately produced false evidence are charged with '''Murder'''. Those who unintentionally provided incorrect evidence are charged with '''Manslaughter''' and '''Negligence'''.

It is also required to contact provost marshal Boris Kilmeade if this happens.

|Immediate demotion, suspension from command for a time determined by the High Council and holding until transfer.

Provost Marshal Boris Kilmeade may overrule or specify specifics to this punishment/timer.

|-
| §512

== Commentaries and Clarifications ==
* '''Common Areas''': Generally understood to be publicly accessible areas of the colony that are owned and maintained by the colony rather than as part of an individual department.
* '''Lethal Firearm''': A gun loaded or set to a fire mode that's main purpose is to inflict damage to put a person into a critical conduction and or kill. Rubbers when shot out of a gun that has mods to inflict additional damage onto the bullet itself automatically count as lethal.
* '''Cyborgification''' The removal of a person's brain for transplanting into a Cyborg Chassis as an alternative to execution. A prisoner who is sentenced to execution must request or consent to this.
* '''Dismissal''': Changing ID title to "Dismissed", which has zero access. Requires the judgement of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Demotion''': Can be demoted down to and including Assistant position. Requires the judgment of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Employee''': Employee of the colony, as defined by the colonies commanding officers. All non-employee subjects are not protected by these laws.
* '''Empowering''': Illegal acquiring (not via Head of Personnel or Colony Director) of access.
* '''Execution''': Prisoner is killed via means of firing squad, lethal injection, or other means. It is required for the premier to be present or an execution may not proceed. It is required to offer the prisoner the option of how they prefer to die. They should also be offered a last meal. It is not required to follow these preferences if they are deemed unreasonable or impossible. In all cases of execution, respective faction owners should be informed of the execution and the crimes leading up to it. (( A PK may be applicable in this situation. See [[Permanent Death]] for OOC details. ))
* '''Head of Staff''': Crew members occupying one of the following positions: Premier, Guild Master, Blackshield Commander, Warrant Officer, Chief Biolab Overseer, Chief Research Overseer, Chief Executive Officer.
* '''Imminent Peril''': A situation in which there is an apparent and immediate threat of serious injury or death, and it is not possible to escape this threat. Obvious examples are shooting someone trying to stab people. A less obvious example is shooting someone trying to sabotage Atmospherics. Lethal force is justified in such a situation because there's no other options remaining.
* '''HuJ / Holding Until Judgement''': Held (in the brig) until a tribunal is done, or the shift ends. Whichever happens first.
* '''HuT / Holding Until Transfer''': Held (in the brig) until the shift ends. This becomes HuJ when a tribunal is being held for the prisoner.
* '''Severe Injury''': A state in which the victim is in a critical condition and is having difficulty maintaining consciousness.

Demotion and dismissal also require the removal of equipment from the previous job. Uniforms, weapons, bombs, PDA cartridges, etc.

For the purposes of Cyborg/AI laws, crew members that have been convicted, or are being held in detention, are considered to be below even the AI/Cyborgs in terms of rank.

Serving sentences in jail can be replaced with forced labor in some cases.

In cases where the final sentence is more than 90 minutes, it is changed to holding until judgment.

The standard penalty can be applied without a tribunal by Security Officers. Tribunals can assign lesser or higher ones, depending on the circumstances.

== OOC Notes ==
* It's vital to know that the involvement of faction owners means involvement of admins. However, if that happens, admins will try to keep in character. Ergo, the character is '''not''' going to magically know attack logs or fingerprints or anything else they don't know IC, because it's like playing a game with cheat codes. It's fun to screw off for a little while, but then it's going to get really boring.
** The above also applies in the case of admins playing normal security.
** The only exception to the above is in the case of potentially removing a character from the station. See [[Permanent Death]] for details. Admins are not going to PK someone who they know OOCly didn't actually do the crime. If you are guilty though an a execution happens, the chance of permanent removal is extremely high. Contact an admin to find out if an executed character has been removed forever.
* '''Laws ARE NOT RULES for the server itself!''' That means, so long as you have a believable in-character motive for breaking these regulations, you won't get banned for it, especially if good roleplay is your end goal. Conversely, if you're just going around smashing windows for shits and giggles, you're ''obviously'' going to get yelled at by an admin. See [[Rules|the actual server rules]] for more details.
* Laws do NOT protect outsiders unless specified via Low Council vote, High Council decree, or in the case of colony allies. The only time laws may protect a neutral person or Outsider is in the case of the wording being 'Someone', 'Person', or 'People' - implying this would cover non-colony members as well due to its wording.

Laws

2023-03-08T17:59:39Z

Rebel0: Adds Outsider & Colonist section; reduces the Modifiers section. Re-words crimes to cover either ONLY colony members or GENERALLY cover acts, such as cannibalism or slavery. Removes Longarm Law

The colony laws are a series of regulations that all interest groups on the High Council have agreed to, applying them broadly to all colonists inside the colony. The colony’s Marshals are expected to uphold and enforce these laws, and all departments are expected to follow them. This is not a general guide to security. All new marshals should review the official [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]]. It is important to know that all offenses listed below should be followed as a ‘guideline’ by law enforcement personnel and do allow for victim rights and alternative solutions to minor offenses. For example, you are not required to give a sentence if the problem can be resolved in an alternative way that the suspect agrees to, such as an agreement with the victim in return for not pressing charges, or peer mediation. To understand how to go about a proper arrest, or other clarifications such as prisoner rights, alert levels, and more, see [[Standard Operating Procedure]]. Note that Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is enforced via the head of staff. To be charged with a violation of SOP, a head of staff has to request a relevant charge be levied, such as denial of a reasonable order.

'''Law's protections, and rights only apply to colonists and colony allies. Visitors, outsiders, and groups unconnected to the colony have no rights and therefore no protections under the law.'''

== Interpretation of the Law ==
'''<big>All colony law is subject to the standard of INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. No one is to ever be assumed guilty, evidence must be presented that reasonably proves guilt.</big>'''

A good working knowledge of the law is important for any person on the station. It can be the difference between a shiny pair of handcuffs and sipping drinks in the bar. More in-depth interpretations of the law are required for such positions as the ranger, officer, premier, and the warrant officer. For certain crimes, the accused party's intent is important. Intent can be the difference between a charge such as, say, manslaughter and murder. One requires purposeful intent, the other is unintentional and typically caused by negligence or workplace accident. It is also important to note that manslaughter and murder are mutually exclusive. This indicates that an individual must be charged with one or the other, not both. Neither could a colonist be charged with both assault and murder on an individual if there is only a single victim, the higher-grade charge must be the charge applied in that case.

All of this will be explained in detail as you read on, including specialty clauses, cases, guides, and explanations to how a Marshal or servant of the law should think when interpreting legal issues such as criminal acts or disputes.

Here are a few basic to-know bullet points for officers:
* '''To ensure you, as an arresting officer, don't fall into the trap of negligence or misuse of power, always follow procedure where possible as detailed by [[Standard_Operating_Procedure#Marshals|standard operating procedure]].'''
* As an arresting officer, follow the [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]] to ensure you don't fall foul of legal proceedings.
* In the case of pressed charges being in the same category (i.e Battery, Assault, Murder - or Vandalism, Theft, Grand Theft) take only the most severe charge. Any lesser charges in this case should not be applied.
* A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took 3 items off a person, this is a single count of theft. Otherwise this would count as 'crime-stacking', which is against SOP and law.
* When deciding on a timer for multiple crimes committed, take each crime into consideration separately. Then add the times together to get a final concise timer. This should be the timer issued to an offender when they are put in a cell.
* '''The time taken to bring in an offender and the time taken when questioning the offender are NOT to be calculated into their issued timer.''' Timers begin when plugged in on a cell's console. However, offenders should be processed as quick as reasonably possible as-per their rights as employees within the colony.

=== Victim Rights ===

'''A victim holds the right to drop charges if the listed charge allows it.''' This would apply to charges such as: Assault, Theft, Trespass, or other 100 to 200-tier offenses. Victims may also collect monetary value equal to their losses from the offender in question, such as any incurring medical bills or loss of property. Both of these clauses are there to allow a victim peace of mind and to make sound decisions rather than being forced into court cases.

There are some exemptions, however. Such as in the case of any 'red paragraph crime', such as those equal to a 400-level “Exceptional” charge or a 500-level “Capital” charge. These charges include crimes such as attempted murder, manslaughter, grand theft, or the like and may '''not''' be dropped at any time by a victim. The reason being that these criminal acts extend further than creating a victim, but also threatening the lives of others. Officers 'may' take into account an offender’s circumstances and a victim's testimonial when deciding intent and timers but no dropping of charges may occur.

=== Fines & Timers ===

Some crimes may offer either a fine or a timer, or in some cases, 'both' a fine and a timer together. It is ultimately at the discretion of the arresting officer and/or the warrant-filer what the punishment for an offense should be.

Fines are ultimately recommended for most low-level crimes, if they are listed under the ‘timer’ section of the quick reference guide. If, however, an offender is non-cooperative, a repeat offender, or otherwise hindering an investigation a timer should be issued instead. Fines are to be paid to the Marshal department directly, while any compensation, such as to damaged property or medical fees, should be directed to the victim and/or the victim department.

Timers are to be decided by the senior authority, typically either a ranger or warrant officer. If in the case where neither are available then the arresting officer may decide. Timers should not exceed a maximum time allocated to the charge '''unless''' modifiers are added on; such as a repeat offender who would receive double the time. Timers 'may' be less than the allocated maximum time depending on circumstances and modifiers that would normally subtract time from one’s sentence, such as cooperation with security personnel or in cases of entrapment.

== Heads of Staff & Lower Council Law ==

'''Heads of staff are not above the law, and can be arrested by the marshals for breaking it.''' The 'only' time that the law can be overridden is when there is an imminent and overwhelming threat to the colony, such as during a Code Delta scenario.

'''A determination of no-wrongdoing may result in the dismissal of charges levied or a negating of any brig time served.''' Determinations of no-wrongdoing must be done by a Warrant Officer after an investigation, which must be faxed to the Office of the Provost Marshal, the Provost Marshal himself, or the colonies High Council. Any Warrant Officer found to abuse their authority to declare improper cases of no-wrongdoing may be demoted and arrested for exceeding their official power alongside other charges, such as falsifying information or providing false testimony.

A vote held by the Lower Council may also be used to indite some charges, such as abuse of power or charges related to disrupting the Low Council. Any crime that requires judgement, such as crimes labeled as 'HuJ' / Hold until Judgement, should be decided on in a timely manner by the Lower Council through a tribunal. A tribunal '''must''' follow the Legal Standard Operating Procedure to be considered legal. A tribunal must properly vote and may only be overturned by the High Council itself. It is ultimately up to the Lower Council if they wish for a proper legal court trial or to operate as they would a normal meeting, but one of the two options must be used.

The Low Council may opt to give timers over the normal-maximum, set specialty timers, or issue specific parole conditions via tribunal and deliberation if desired. These rulings may be overturned by the High Council if its conditions are found to be unreasonable or a violation of employee rights.

=== Legal Procedure ===

Tribunals are the main way major decisions are made aboard the station and the defendant does not have to be involved. There is not specified length for how long a tribunal must be. Basically it's the same as the old trial, but without a jury and slightly streamlined. An AI may fill in for a premier for tribunals and can be trusted to be accurate, however, an AI may not replace a premier for the purpose of voting for execution.

* '''Purpose:''' For crimes or decisions that require more than one person, or crimes where there is no set punishment.

* '''Overview:''' A minimum of three heads of staff must discuss this issue and vote on the outcome with a premier (or AI substitute) over seeing the tribunal.

* '''Process:''' The premier (or stand-in AI) should call the heads of staff for a tribunal with the situation and proposed outcome. This can be done formally in a meeting room, or informally over radio.

* '''Conviction:''' The tribunal must vote on the outcome, and the outcome must win by a majority vote (over 50%). If there is a tie, the premier's vote wins. For an execution to take place, the vote must be unanimous.

* '''Sentencing:''' If the vote passes, the outcome may be enacted, usually by the marshals. The decision can be appealed once by either the defendant or a volunteer.

== Law in Relation to Outsiders, Allies, & Others ==

Colony law is '''not''' extended to neutral parties inherently. Outsiders, for example, have no inherant legal rights or protections. However, some laws do apply to protect outsiders as well, including all intelligent, sapient beings. This includes other intelligent races, ranging from Humans to Mycus, to anything of higher intelligence including robots with self awareness.

For simple terminology of colony law:
*'''"Employee" / "Colonist"''' = A member of the colony or an employee of one of the colony's various factions. These rights are extended to all members of the colony and all members of departments.
* '''"People" / "Person" / "Someone"''' = This covers '''any''' sapient, intelligent being, regardless of their allegiance. Outsiders, hostiles, allies, etc. This term is used only rarely, but is typically used to refer to crimes such as desecration of a corpse due to the criminal and inhumane act of cannibalism, or in reference to inhumane acts such as the act of enslavement.

Outsiders are only protected under colony law under the term 'people', 'person', 'someone', or if granted entry to the colony via vote for visitation or sale of goods. When an Outsider is granted entry, they have the same rights as a citizen of the colony - until they are ejected or their visitation period ends. At that point legal protection ends.

Lodge members and other colony-aligned factions have full rights of a normal colonist. For information on this, and neutral parties, this can be found in Standard Operating Procedure. Attacking a non-hostile neutral party can result in a charge of '''Terrorism''' depending on the incident. Neutral party refers to a neutral organization, not individuals such as Outsiders.

Security personnel are to obey these clauses and understand the wording.

==Salvaging Rights==

These laws will attempt to make clear what is, and is not salvage. Who has rights over what claims, the proper handling of claims and so fourth. These laws MUST be enforced by Nadezhda Marshals, or Blackshield, depending on the jurisdiction of the 'claim' and apply to all colonists of the Nadezdha Colony as well as Colony Allies and 'Neutral' third parties.
Basic salvage rights entail only the following caveats;
* Trash piles, unclaimed and clearly unowned items and storage containers are the rightful property of the 'first claimant'. A trash pile belongs to the first person to touch it, an abandoned locker to the first one to reach it, et cetera.
* Clearly owned property must be respected. A labeled cart, a gun who's serial is registered and thus known - these are considered personal property, and must be respected.
Additionally the following rules apply to all 'claims'
* If an item is stolen and then rediscovered in an area that would normally count as right-to-loot then it must be returned as it is their rightful property.
* Crime scenes. Any item taken from a crime scene is chargeable by theft, obstruction of duty, and suspicious conduct. A crime scene's boundaries will be clearly marked by tape set up by Marshals or Blackshield.
* Items dropped by colonists or allies due to severe injuries are their rightful property, and MUST be returned.
* The areas owned by colony allies or factions (such as Voidwolf ally Ships or the Soteria Solar Outpost), and clearly defined departmental zones are barred from allowing salvage claims.

===Types of Salvage Claims===
In summary, there are four types of salvage areas. Claimed, Unclaimed, disputed and free

*Claimed areas are those within colony borders(or the borders of colony allies) that have a lawful mandate placed over them, determined typically by the High Council, or at times low council. These locations are the claim-right of a particular faction, ally, et cetera. The FULL contents of these areas is the rightful claim of their respective owners, and any contents taken are effectively treated as their 'rightful property'. Though mere presence on a claim is not generally sufficient to result in charges, the removal of property from them(I.E scavving) is cause for charges of trespass, theft, and grand theft. Additionally, a modifier "Breach of salvage rights" should be applied to each of these charges and any items taken returned or, if not possible - their value owed in remediation.

*Unclaimed areas, while still within colony property, have no rightful claim placed on them, such claims may be enacted at the discretion of the High council, foreman and low council(in that order of importance), having to be properly ratified and faxed to be valid.

*Uncontested areas are new zones or uncertain zones that have no current claims. While they may be within the borders of the Colony or its Allies, they are generally free to loot so long as general scavenging rules are observed. Conflicts, theft and similar SHALL be punished by law.

*Free areas are neither within colony territory nor hold any special claim. These areas are typically considered 'free' of salvage rights and include but are not limited to; the untamed wilds past the colony border and space(and areas located within that do not fall under the purview of the previous types of claims).

===Known claims and their status===
*The Nadezdha colony maintains that the areas in its immediate vicinity, as well as the jungle directly south and the crater directly west are 'colony property' and not subject to claims by non-colony forces.

*Colony maintenance is 'unclaimed', thus only basic salvage rights must be respected.

*The Prospectors hold exclusive claims over the following areas; Greyson Positronics field offices and attached locations, this include the Greyson Positronics Gantlet. 'Preppers' bunker. 'Ironhead compound' Smuggler base. 'Zoo' research facility.

*The 'Scrap haven' is, as of now, a shared claim between the Prospectors and Hunters lodge - However, the Hunters Lodge has abdicated any right to lease their hold on the claim.

*The hunters Lodge holds exclusive claim over the following areas; The lodge itself and land upon which it sits, and the plains in the immediate vicinity of their lodge

*The 'Salvage Fields' are 'free' claims, though basic salvage rights should be respected.

*The assorted, smaller 'Points of Interest' in the immediate vicinity of the colony are 'uncontested'(E.G, scorched outpost, lost outpost, etc).

===Enforcement of Claims and Jurisdiction.===
As previously stated, it is the duty of Marshals and Blackshield to enforce salvaging rights - though they may vary on where their areas of jurisdiction come into play. 
Blackshield are largely expected to handle matters of salvage disputes where exterior forces threaten Nadezdha Colony(or upon request, colony allies) claims. Exterior factions attempted to jump claims owned by Prospectors should result in their dispatching. 
Marshals however are granted jurisdiction over legal matters of enforcement. Colonists jumping claims that are rightfully held should be charged accounting for the details of the matter. 
In the event where jurisdiction may be at question, it is important to remember that while the blackshield holds legal jurisdiction outside the perimeter fence - they are typically less oriented in the minutiae of law, and should they have to step in to enforce claims upon colonists past the walls they must hand over said colonists on return for processing by Marshals. 

===Additional Caveats===
*Salvage rights may, at the determination of their holder - be granted or leased. E.G, The Prospectors may, at the determination of the Foreman or Overboss Hogg grant rights over claims to other factions, allies, etc.
*The leasing of scav-rights by Foremen must, by order of Overboss Hogg be both A. reported to his office and either a cut of the total salvage or trade of 'equal value' taken. The Overboss adds that the job of prospectors is not to make friends, but to make money and that failure to properly extract value from such deals will result in consequences
*Though it is held that claimants have the right to defend their stake(with force if necessary) it is expected that Claimants use reasoned force in such and that the holding of such stakes be clearly communicated. E.G; A neutral party trespasses on a Colony claim, prospectors must clearly communicate that such a claim exists and offer opportunity for the claim-juimpers to return the stolen salvage and leave before force is used.
*Lonestar's disposal and recycling room. Lonestar shares the rights with the Church to this area but the church may not take any form of materials or items except items containing significant bio-matter (ex. animal meat, bio sheets, food, clothing, etc. etc.). Neither faction may order the other to leave under any circumstance, this location is considered jointly controlled and should not be modified without approval of the prime and CEO.
*Areas outside of the planets orbit, such as the nearby asteroid field in space, are not claimed by the colony directly. Salvagers and security forces operating there may salvage, but hold no direct claim over the materials there.

=== Minor Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Thermals are considered contraband for all departments. Thermals are however permitted outside the colony or during a declared red alert level. This goes for the augmentations, glasses, helmets or rig-suit modules. The following items are considered thermals: Augmented shades, Thermo-nightvision helmets, Thermal goggles, Thermal augmentations and bioaugmentations. Along with any hardsuit modules that contain thermals.
** If either Church or Soteria provide to a colonist thermals illegally they are to be charged for minor contraband. If a Soteria staff continues to do so repeatedly, then they are to be demoted immediately. Heads of staff in Soteria or the Church continuing are to be detained, charged with abusing their executive powers, and demoted after a fax has been sent up to the faction leader.
** Permits can temporarily be issued by a Warrant Officer for their usage or transportation through the colony. Any surgical implantation of thermal augments by Soteria requires a properly written form signed by both the doctor and the Warrant Officer permitting such augments be used under Soteria's supervision.
* The shooting range is considered a testing zone for science. Items sent from science to the range for testing must be announced over general comms. In the instance of Soteria testing explosives up at the shooting range, it must be a device capable of small explosives only. Larger explosions are to be tested out in the mines.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered minor contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* All encryption keys that are not supplied to a colonists workplace are considered minor contraband. If sensitive or private information is gained through the use of encryption keys that a colonist should not have access to they should also be charged with violation of employee privacy. This is applied even if it was not the intent of the person using the encryption key. Legal access to an encryption key can be given by any employee of the faction or head of staff, but the head of staff reserves the right to remove any access to any non-employee at any time for any reason. Please note that allies and neutral factions may have their own encryption keys - these are not illegal and should never be taken away.
* ID cards that are modified to give access to a normal departmental area of the colony without head departmental permissions are considered contrband. If, however, this access is issued either by a relevant head of staff or during the case of an emergency no timer or charge should apply. Legal access may be given by a head of staff to their department to another employee at anytime but may also be revoked at any time at the discression of the issuing head of department.
* Any weapons confiscated as in violation of the colony's 'Long Arm Policy' are considered contraband items. They are to be logged and placed into storage effective immediately in accordance with SOP.

=== Major Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Soteria may test combat mechs at a firing range or outside the colony but '''must''' announce any and all movements of where the mech will be moving. Including the starting point to the desired ending point of the travel. These mechs may '''not''' be left in public spaces or otherwise operated, apart from moving through, public spaces unless exemptions are provided in the case of an emergency by security personnel.
** Permits for a combat mech may be temporarily issued by a Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist to non-Soteria personnel. The [[Example_Paperwork#Item_Application|proper forms]] should be filled out and the mech either housed inside of the employee's designated department or within Soteria's mech bay when not being used. Transporting any combat mech of any kind must be announced over public comms and cannot be driven freely across the colony. This policy and associated paperwork applies to any mech, including those obtained through salvage.
** Non-standard combat mechs / Non-combat mechs rigged for combat are not legal to own nor may receive licenses for normal usage. However, during Code Red or Code Delta emergencies they may be utilized by security personnel or otherwise permitted to be used by personnel determined to be fit and trust worthy by security personnel. All jury rigged weapons should be removed after the state of emergency without exception.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered major contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* Bluespace harpoons, and other teleportation items, may be used for research purposes by Soteria institute personnel. However, this does not mean they can be transported openly nor used or otherwise utilized outside of Soteria research departmental grounds. If transported outside of the department major contraband charges are applicable. If misused to teleport and employee unwillingly, as teleportation can be incredibly dangerous if not life threatening, see §413 - Unwilling Teleportation.

==== Explosive Exemptions ====
Contraband explosives are considered, but not limited to: any device presently capable of causing wide-spread and reasonably uncontrolled damage. This includes, but is not limited to, frag grenades, incendiary grenades, EMP grenades, tank transfer bombs, explosives grenades, incendiary grenades, land mines, and other similar objects capable of replicating any of the listed items effects. Items such as non-explosive flashbangs, smoke grenades, or cleaning grenades are not considered explosives. An oxygen tank, transfer valve, plasma tank, or scrap rifle with its safety measures enable would not count individually as explosives, only if the devices were within reasonable proximity and had steps taken to allow them to be used as explosives. I.E. a scrap rifle with its safety systems off is contraband, a persons bag containing heated plasma tanks, oxygen tanks, and transfer valves would be reasonably considered an explosive object. This exception only applies if the objects are, viably, capable of causing an explosion, if the plasma tank and oxygen tanks are empty and cannot explode it would not be considered contraband. Best and reasonable judgment applies.

Exceptions to the above clause may only be found in four cases:

1. The Marshals and Blackshield may use whatever explosives they require to perform their duties during a code blue or higher scenario. Responsibility for all damage to persons or property are the sole responsibility of the individual using the explosive devices. Low-yield grenades and small-arms explosive ordinance, such as grenade launcher rounds, may be tested at Marshal or Blackshield ranges with proper notification that explosives will be fired at the specified range.

2. Soteria Research may use any manner of explosives in the pursuit of research, the determination of what is considered ‘research’ is left to the sole discretion of the chief research overseer or, in the event one is not present, the biolab overseer. If neither is present, a low council vote is required to determine if the pursuit of research is considered scientific.

3. Prospectors may carry and use explosives outside colony walls at their discretion, provided the explosive do not damage colony property or other persons from the colony or colony allies. Prospectors must hold all explosives within their department or with security in either the gate house or armory. The transportation of explosives should always be announced publicly, similar to the transport of rifle class firearms.
In the event a prospectors wishes to sell explosive devices, be it to Soteria or Lonestar, this must be done with a member of the blackshield or marshal present and in the lobby of the respective department. In this scenario the explosive(s) must be stored in the buying department immediately. A form and record of the transaction should be recorded by security and filed with the WO, premier, sergeant, commander, and supply specialist.

4. Permits '''may''' be written for temporary explosive usage within determined location at the descression of the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist. Examples would be the allowance of Lonestar mining personnel to make use of small-yield explosive devices in mining operations, or temporary permits for Church for the transport of grenades for use in Deep Maintenance.

Failure to comply with the above section can and will result in the applicable charges and fines as expected by discretion of security personnel. This may include, but is not directly required to, charges of major contraband or negligence. In the event the explosive device is misused this may be upgraded to additional charges of terrorism, manslaughter, or murder. Improperly stored explosives that are stolen may confer charges both to the individual who stole and misused them and the individual who failed to properly safe keep the explosive devices, in this event both individuals receive the same charges regardless of fault.

Reasonable storage of an explosive device is determined by security discretion but the following factors should be considered when determining what is reasonable.

Was the device in a locked container such as a secure locker, secure briefcase, safe, secure crate, or wall locker?

Was the device and potential containers holding it secured behind access locked doors?

Was the location of the device(s) kept discrete and related information on a need to know basis?

=== Excelsior Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Excelsior equipment '''may never''' be operated by Security personnel, no matter their status within the Church, Psionic-testing or other implant-destroying augments. All Excelsior-branded technology should either be put into evidence by the Marshal department, if it is used in the conduction of a crime, or destroyed.

Guild may not use nor utilize Excelsior technology itself but they may break it down in either their department's industrial autolathe or through their department's nanoforge machine.
** Marshals may utilize their Nanite Reconstructor in the armory to break down Excelsior weapons or armor. However tech like Excelsior branded cells or computer-components will not be able to be broken down by said machine. Personnel must find an alternative for those deconstruction methods.

== Modifiers & Special Situations ==
These may reduce or increase your sentence depending on circumstances relating to the crimes committed.
{| style="text-align:center; background-color:#aaffaa;" width="950px" border="1" cellspacing="0"
! style="background-color:#55ff55; width=100px" |Modifier
! style="background-color:#55ff55;" |Description
! style="background-color:#55ff55;" |Effect

|-
|'''Cooperation with Prosecution or Security'''
| To aid members of colony security, reveal evidence willingly during processing and/or provide names of accomplices involved in the charged offense.
| 25% to 50% timer reduction.

|-
|'''Surrender'''
| To willingly surrender oneself to security staff; either by the means of bringing oneself to the brig or, in a hostile situation, laying down arms and following direct orders.
| 25% to 50% timer reduction.

Execution may not be issued to those who have surrendered. Crimes worth of Holding until Transfer may be overturned at WO discretion.

|-
|'''Self Defense'''
| To have acted in the defense of oneself; ranging from physical injury of the attacker to death of the attacking party.

For this modifier to apply the party MUST have acted in defense; they are not required to retreat if there is credible threat that the attacking party may harm them or others.

The weapon used and lethality of used ammunition or weapon should be taken into account by the arresting officers to determine this modifier.

| Immediate Release.
|-
|'''Good Samaritan Clause'''
|To act in what one, or any other reasonable person, would believe is in good faith and with due caution and regards for the safety of others. Including in the defense of a person’s life or to act if another person is in imminent threat of serious injury and/or death. Failure to comply with an investigation of any crimes is not considered a “Good Samaritan” as it falls out of the category of a ‘reasonable person’.

Examples include pulling a gun to rescue a colonist from hostile lifeforms, breaking a department’s window to pull out a colonist, etc. A ‘Good Samaritan’ does not do such acts for financial compensation; any exchanging of goods for the service is no longer covered by such a modifier. Acts found to be without reason, or with flawed logic (I.e misinterpreting calls for help, ignorance of a situation or ‘over-escalation’ of a tense situation) do not count as reasonable actions and are thus not protected by this clause.
| Immediate Release, with all charges (barring that of Friendly Fire) being dropped against the individual.

|-
|'''Victim in a Willfully Dangerous Position'''
| For a victim to have willingly consented to put themselves into a dangerous situation such as volunteering in the name of science or to insert themselves into a dangerous situation that is not inherently suicidal.

When charging the offender the victims willingness to insert themselves into a dangerous situation should be taken into offense.

|-
|'''Entrapment'''
| To be charged with a crime the offender was induced to commit by a fellow colonist and, without their help, either would not have or could not have committed.

Other forms of entrapment may vary; such as officers placing objects in public areas and waiting for them to be stolen or other colony residents operating similar traps.

| Charges should be either reduced by up to 50% on the offender or charges should be completely dropped.

In cases of security operated entrapment offenses the officers running the operation should be charged with Violation of Employee Rights.

|-
|'''Repeat Offender'''
| To be charged with the same crime/violation.

Examples include repeat offenses of vandalism, assault or contraband distribution.

| For each repeat offense the timer for the crime should be multiplied by 2. 20 minutes would become 40 minutes, etc. This also goes for fines. This only is applied for repeated crimes on the same shift.

Once a timer reaches 90 in the case of repeat crimes the offender should instead be held until shift transfer

|-
|'''Immediate Threat or Severe Health Threat to the Prisoner'''
| To be arrested or in prison in the brig during an emergency which may negatively impact the offender’s health.
| The prisoner must be relocated to a safe location. In the case where a safe location cannot be found the offender must be immediately released.

If the prisoner is serving time until transfer or until judgement their charge must be reapplied after the emergency situation has ended.

|-
|'''Medical Treatment'''
| Any injured prisoner may have this modifier applied to them. Under SoP prisoners are allowed and should be provided medical attention if sick or injured.
| Medical personnel should be called to brig or the prisoner may be treated by an officer with proper knowledge in brig medbay.

In cases of needed surgery or serious injury medical staff must be called and the prisoner escorted to medbay to undergo treatment.

Brig timer is to be left running during this unless in the case of self-harm; in which the timer should be paused until the prisoner is escorted back to their cell.

|-
|'''Use of psionic powers'''
|To use psionic powers to commit a crime of any kind. Note, the person must use their powers in aid of a crime, not simply be a psion or capable of using psionic powers.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a psion used their powers to commit a crime, however, due to the nature of psionic powers being easy to remove, hard evidence is not required. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the psion would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their powers removed via cranial surgery. Use of sedatives to prevent active power use before surgery is suggested. A psion using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their psionic powers should be removed before being defibbed.

|-
|'''Crime by AI/Cyborg'''
|For Colony AI or Cyborg to commit actions that are criminal in the eyes of the law.
|This refers to either the colony AI or the colony cyborgs. In the instance that they have committed a crime, Marshals are to operate as per normal. Soteria is to cooperate with the Marshals in regards of these matters, to see if the AI or Cyborg are malfunctioning before allowing them to be arrested. Cyborgs can have their MMIs removed and tossed into a cell to serve the appropriate amount of time, or Soteria can choose to pay for their fine. The same goes for the AI, however, a warrant is specifically required to enter its core, and Soteria personnel should accompany them to ensure matters are handled peacefully. Squads of Marshals or Shields should not be going into the core unless the AI in question is malfunctioning and/or hostile. Card the AI and toss it into the cell, much like the borgs. Once they have served their time, return them to their proper vessels. However, if it is found that these actions were done with bad evidence or in bad faith, the Marshals responsible will be charged with §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding), with possible demotion.

As a further note, the AI and Cyborgs cannot open high access areas unless in a state of emergency, for example, the Marshal, Blackshield, or Command armory. The only other time they can open such areas is to clear out infestations and nothing more.

|-
| '''Use of Genetic Enhancements'''
|To utilize any genetic enhancement to commit a crime of any kind. Note, in regards of some enhancements, the person must use them in aid of a crime, not simply be genetically enhanced or capable of using key genetic enhancements.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a genetically enhanced individual used their capabilities, unless said capabilities were passively running. However, due to the nature of genetic splicing being easy to remove with mutagenic purgers from Soteria, hard evidence is not required, albeit Soteria should have provided information that said individual was enhanced in a timely manner. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the individual would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their enhancements removed via mutagenic purger. A enhanced individual using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their genetic enhancements are to be removed immediately. Furthermore, the individual can be barred from Soteria genetics as a result of this modifier for the shift.

== Quick Reference Guide ==
This table is to describe crimes on a charge severity basis. In regards to crime stacking; crimes with the same ending numbers '''CAN NOT''' be stacked unless stated otherwise within the crimes description.

Examples include: You cannot charge a colonist with both 101 and 401; Vandalism and Sabotage. One cannot be charged with 104 and 204; Battery and Assault.

Proper charges, for example, would be as such: Offender charged with 108 for trespassing into a department, 105 for stealing an item from the department and 204 for attacking an employee trying to stop them non-violently.

|For cases of HuT prisoners attempting escape see '''Escaping from HuT'''.
|Reset original timer for offenses committed and add an additional 20 minutes for escaping.

|-
| §209
|Resisting Arrest or Sparking a Manhunt
|To not cooperate with an officer who attempts a proper arrest, or to cause a manhunt by hiding from security. Refusing a lawful search can also get you charged with 209.
|Refusing handcuffs is not resisting arrest. Refusing handcuffs and refusing to come to the brig is resisting arrest. So is pushing the officer trying to arrest you, or running away. Actively hiding or running away is what this law is for.

An officer should take into account their reason for not reporting to security immediately as well. For example, a guild master trying to stop the engine from exploding probably shouldn't be charged with resisting arrest if they ignore the fact that security wants to give them a vandalism fine for breaking a wall earlier.

Likewise, if anyone in security has threatened them with harm, not just arrest, they're somewhat justified in hiding.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

|-
| §210
|Excessive Use of Force
|To use more than the required force to subdue a suspect as a security member.
|Examples of this charge include using force against an unarmed and compliant suspect and usage of lethal weapons without there being imminent peril.

Investigations into allegations of excessive use of force may be launched by any head of staff. Applicable to security forces.

|Timer of no more than 30 minutes

Or a fine of no more than 2,000 credits paid to the victim.

|-
| §211
|Forgery
|To falsify official documents, records or orders.
|Examples of this crime include a fax to issue orders posing as the High Council or a superior, falsifying a medical prescription or falsifying ones records to pose as either more certified or to fake eligibility for job positions.
|Timer of no more than 15 minutes and an immediate search

Or a fine of up to 750 credits.

|-
| §212
|Disrespect of the Dead
|To abuse bodies of dead or previously dead people. Acts may range from non-medical or scientific desecration of a corpse to cannibalistic acts.
|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' without consent. Preventing a body from being repaired or cyborged also falls under this. Bodies rendered incapable of wound repair count as '''Murder''' instead. Those who consume body parts are to be considered hostile to the colony and its well-being; being held in HuT and may have additional charges placed on them.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

If the corpse is in anyway consumed, or eaten, the suspect should immediately be put into HuT and go through Soteria therapy programs. Execution for said crime may be viable via Low Council vote.

Or a fine of no more than 1,250 credits.

|-
| §213
|Sexual Harassment
|To make unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks towards another employee or silicon units.
|This charge is for cases of unwanted sexual comments after the victim has requested they cease or are clearly uncomfortable and do not reciprocate.

For anything escalating from this, such as unwanted physical contact in a sexual manner, see '''Sexual Assault'''.
|Timer of no more than 10 minutes alongside a 250 credit fine.

Injunction of ‘no contact’ between the offender and victim should be placed.

|-
| §301
|Negligence
|To fail to perform a job to a satisfactory standard, or to create a dangerous situation without taking proper precautions.
|This can be due to honest, or dishonest mistakes. This is usually because an employee ignored Standard Operating Procedure and an accident occurred because of that. This charge also applies to creating a hazardous area or otherwise introducing a hazard to an area without proper permission or precautions. For example: Putting excessive power into the grid and reasoning it's the crew's fault if they get shocked, and so on.

If a colonist is killed because of it, see '''Manslaughter'''.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §302
|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.
|While similar to '''Failure to Execute''' an Order this charge is applied if a member of the colony is injured via the refusal of an order or if notable damage to the colony is done via refusing to follow an order.

Examples are medical doctors ignoring the chief biolab overseer while patients are piling up in medbay, etc.

If the refusal to follow an order results in death, see '''Manslaughter'''.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §303
|Fraudulent, Excessive, Incorrect Charges or providing false testimony
|To punish a crew member in excess for their crime, to give a crew member incorrect punishment, or to give fraudulent charges that are not valid. This charge also includes false or misleading statements to charge another person with a crime.
|This includes stacking multiple charges for the same offense (i.e. being charged with theft 3 times for 3 items stolen from the same person, being charged multiple times with trespassing for each room unlawfully entered etc. etc.), providing false testimonies and statements during an investigation (intent does not matter here, if the investigator feels the interviewee mislead them, they do not need to prove intent to do so).

This also applies to cases of planted evidence, confiscation of contraband if it is being used in a legal manner under the '''Contraband Policy''' or gross errors in sentencing or levied charges.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion for the rest of the work shift at the discretion of the WO.

|-
| §304
|Aggravated Assault
|To cause severe injury to another employee or colonist, typically requiring invasive surgery or resulting in life-threatening physical harm.
|This is in reference to any form of assault that causes shrapnel, broken bones, severe bleeding, or otherwise rendering a victim into a state of critical condition. Shrapnel left in one’s body may count if the rounds are not LTL rounds. For LTL round usage that do ‘not’ result in broken bones or cause a life threatening injury, but may still embed, see ```Assault```.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Any cost of medical treatment must be paid immediately to the victim by the offender. If the offender cannot afford the medical treatment cost, see ```Defaulting on Debt.```

|-
| §305
|Abuse of Confiscated Equipment
|To take and use equipment confiscated as evidence.
|Evidence such as even weapons should never be taken and used by security; even in cases of emergency.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion for the duration of the shift at the discretion of the WO.

|-
| §306
|Illegal Modification of AI/Cyborg
|To modify the laws of a cyborg or artificial intelligence, without need, proper access, or authority.
|An exception would be a law reset when obviously harmful laws have been uploaded. Only the council or two soteria overseers together can authorize a law change outside of this situation.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §307
|Illegal Blocking of Areas
|To make an area inaccessible for those with appropriate access.
|Bolting doors or departments in which the offender does not have access to, taping off areas larger than needed or sealing off doors longer than needed.

This does not apply to situations that are needed, such as Guild critical repairs, or within SoP.

|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §308
|Infiltration
|To attempt to, or successfully, enter a high-security area without authorization.
|Areas include the gatehouse, colony fence, bridge, head of staff room, virology, toxin storage or other essential high-security areas.

If trespass into the vault, armory or AI upload occurs see '''Grand Trespass'''.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

|-
| §309
|Organizing a Breakout
|To attempt, or succeed, in freeing criminals from the brig or other holding areas.
|This includes breaking windows, barriers or hacking through doors either to break out of prison or to help a prisoner escape.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

|-
| §310
|Severe Use of Excessive Force
|Critically injuring a colonist in defense of yourself or others while they no longer pose a threat, or seriously injuring a suspect while attempting to detain them.
|Severely injuring a colonist attacking you or others with no obvious threat to life, or panicking and shooting a suspect to near-death. Subjects who cannot be cuffed and have their legs broken as a result do not count if the subject refused to comply after 3 warnings and a witness is available to confirm each warning.
|Timer of no more than 40 minutes.

|-
| §311
|Breach of Salvage Rights
|To violate salvage rights by means of theft, 'claim jumping', or otherwise taking undue action against a rightful claimant.
|The consideration of the stolen item(s) value should be taken into account when issuing this charge. This charge may ```NOT``` be placed alongside any theft or grand-theft charges.
|Any stolen items should be returned to the proper salvage-claim holder. If the items are non-recoverable, or have been sold off, the offender is to repay that market-price of the stolen items to the victim. If the offender is not able to pay, apply specialty charge ```001 - Defaulting on Debt```.

A timer of no more than 20 minutes may be issued on the offender alongside a 250 credit fine.

|-
| §312
|Animal Cruelty
|To inflict unnecessary suffering or harm upon animals with malicious intent.
|Monkeys appropriately used for experiments or crew well-being (e.g genetics, virology, weapon testing, etc.) don't count. Shoving them in washing machines, or throwing them through disposals while still alive falls under this. Using them as food is a grey area; cows are generally fine, but monkey cubes and the like probably aren't.

Creatures typically considered pests (those that are by default hostile such as roaches or spiders) are not protected under this law if they aren't being kept in private areas such as personal dorms, or are fully tamed by a colonist. Tamed in this case means that they will not attack other colonists, or damage colony infrastructure.
|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

Fine may be issued to cover the animals treatment if still alive. If not a 750 credit fine may be levied on top of the brig timer.

If any named Colony Pet (Ian, Tea, Graves, Lisa, PunPun, and other pets that spawn in the colony with a roundstart name (this does not include ones made in-round unless specific by the High Council through fax/announcement) was targeted, it is an automatic 90 minute sentence.

|Sabotage
|To hinder the efforts of the crew or station with malicious intent.
|This includes causing breaches, sabotaging air supplies, stealing vital equipment, etc. The intent is probably the most important bit here.

If the act is to purposefully cause imminent peril or to aid a hostile faction see '''Terrorism'''.
|Timer of no more than 45 minutes

|-
| §403
|Exceeding Official Powers
|To act beyond what is allowed by the chain of command.
|This is for anyone who abuses the power given to them, such as the premier acting like a security officer in a non-emergency, the warrant officer acting as if he is above the law, etc. Heads of staff trying to order a different department or ignoring a council vote also comes under this, as does security staff attempting to give orders to non-security without legal justification.
|Timer of no more than 40 minutes.

Demotion at the behest of the department head.

If a head of staff is responsible for over reaching a fax should be sent to the High Council to investigate a possible demotion.

Items from the church, such as cruciforms, circuits, and disks are sole property of the church, they may demand them back regardless of how the person in question obtained them. Failure to do so is considered grand theft and failure to execute a lawful order.

|Timer of no more than 45 minutes and confiscation of stolen items.

If items cannot be recovered the offender is forced to monetarily compensate for the loss.

|-
| §406
|Operating Excelsior Equipment

|To be in illegal possession of or to actively operate Excelsior equipment.
|This applies to Excelsior batteries, guns or armor. Their lack of safety features, shoddily made structure and use in operation can endanger oneself or other colonists.

The usage of Excelsior tech also is a tell-tale sign of an Excelsior agent or collaborator.

Permits may be written in specific instances by the Warrant Officer, Brigadier, or the provost Marshal to override this law.

'''See Contraband Policy'''
|Immediate medical examination and confiscation of equipment.

If Excelsior implant is found and removed the subject should be placed under psychiatric evaluation until deemed fit. If deemed fit the offender should be released.

| §501
|Terrorism
|To engage in maliciously destructive actions, which seriously threaten the residents of the colony or even the colony's integrity as a whole.
|This includes deliberate arson, hostage taking, use of bombs, release of singularity, etc. In cases of terrorism, the provost marshal must be informed.
|Holding until Judgement.

Execution is encouraged; especially if deaths are caused by the action.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §502
|Mutiny
|To openly rebel against or attempt to remove command staff with violent intent to remove the command staff from power.
|One’s motive is important. If an employee is just angry at a head of staff and murders them in a fit of rage, that's just regular murder. On the other hand, trying to take over the colony through violent means, lethal or not, is mutiny.
|Holding until Judgement.

Execution is an option.

|-
| §504
|Murder or Attempted Murder
|To willfully and intentionally kill or attempt to kill a colony member or an ally of the colony. Or to prevent a rightful revival or else render a colonist unrevivable through clear action.
|Clear intent is needed to prove a case of murder over manslaughter. While Manslaughter is unintentionally causing death through accident, or unintended consequences, Murder is a purposeful act with the intent to take the life of another.

Attempts to cover up an incident of Manslaughter may necessitate a charge of murder due to pre/post meditative evidence.
Additionally, should proof positive be obtained that indicates premeditation the penalty should be automatically adjusted to H.U.T and the low council should convene to determine if more extreme penalties are warranted, up to and including execution.

|If the victim is able to be revived a timer of no less than 90 minutes may be issued. The Council may meet to determine if this sentence be should be upgraded to HuT.

If the victim is deemed unable to be revived, such as through the destruction of a brain or body, execution may be issued at the behest of the Council.

Colony residents who commit murder '''should not be revived''' if they die unless stated otherwise by the Council.

|-
| §505
|Espionage
|To gain access to in-house or proprietary Designs, Documents, Programs, or otherwise vital assets of a Colony Faction or one of the Colony's allies.
|Whether by theft, trespass, or buying such items without the departmental head's explicitly written and shown permission.

Note that this does '''NOT''' include stealing items themselves, such as constructed Guild items or items purchased through the Lonestar Trade System -- only the theft of the program itself or the designs to make more of the Guild's items, or otherwise.

|Hold until Transfer. The stolen proprietary assets should be returned to the faction or ally they were stolen from immediately unless they are directly required to be used as evidence in a tribunal. Any items gathered or created with the proprietary assets should be given to the faction or ally as well.

|-
| §508
|Grand Trespass
|To trespass into an area of high security such as an AI upload or the Marshal armory without any reason to be there; especially when a head of staff or personnel with access to said area is present.
|This does not apply to emergency situations in which a staff member may not be active. In rare cases, such as a code red incident, it may be required that staff without access enter secure areas. This requires '''proper reasoning''' such as a case of imminent threat to the colony itself or it’s inheritance; such as from a rogue AI or hostile invasion.
|Holding until Transfer.

|-
| §509
|Escaping from HuT Sentence
|To attempt or successfully escape from the brig or other holding area when serving a holding until transfer sentence.
|The offender must have been properly judged by tribunal for holding until transfer to be legally issued.
|Execution.

A tribunal is not required under this circumstance, and is the only case where this is currently so.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §510
|Wrongful Execution
|To execute a colonist who later turned out to be innocent.
|This only counts when a tribunal was held and the order was given to execute a colonist or an ally based on faulty or poor evidence that is later debunked by additional evidence. If the tribunal process is skipped, or is carried out incorrectly such as having no premier sign off, then murder is added to the charges.

The warrant officer is punished and any individuals who deliberately produced false evidence are charged with '''Murder'''. Those who unintentionally provided incorrect evidence are charged with '''Manslaughter''' and '''Negligence'''.

It is also required to contact provost marshal Boris Kilmeade if this happens.

|Immediate demotion, suspension from command for a time determined by the High Council and holding until transfer.

Provost Marshal Boris Kilmeade may overrule or specify specifics to this punishment/timer.

|-
| §512
|Slavery
|To force someone to work for no payment through force, threats or purposefully neglecting to pay them. To abuse someone and hold them against their will is also applicable; see §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding).
|This charge does not apply to the modifier '''Forced Labor''' unless it extends over 2 hours or is otherwise stated.

It is very possible that other charges may apply as the person might have been abused in some way or held against their will as well as robbed of their personal belongings. Make sure to charge the individual with all crimes committed.

|Timer of up to 60 minutes may be issued or, in cases where other crimes put the timer over 90 minutes, HuT may be issued.

|-
| §513
|Sexual Assault
|To assault, or attempt to assault, someone else sexually, including rape.
|This charge exists as a means to handle non-con scenes ICly, such as but not limited to: A player OOCly not consenting to a scene and reporting it. '''A-help staff when dealing with these charges.'''
|Permanent removal from the colony or execution.
|}

== Commentaries and Clarifications ==
* '''Common Areas''': Generally understood to be publicly accessible areas of the colony that are owned and maintained by the colony rather than as part of an individual department.
* '''Lethal Firearm''': A gun loaded or set to a fire mode that's main purpose is to inflict damage to put a person into a critical conduction and or kill. Rubbers when shot out of a gun that has mods to inflict additional damage onto the bullet itself automatically count as lethal.
* '''Cyborgification''' The removal of a person's brain for transplanting into a Cyborg Chassis as an alternative to execution. A prisoner who is sentenced to execution must request or consent to this.
* '''Dismissal''': Changing ID title to "Dismissed", which has zero access. Requires the judgement of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Demotion''': Can be demoted down to and including Assistant position. Requires the judgment of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Employee''': Employee of the colony, as defined by the colonies commanding officers. All non-employee subjects are not protected by these laws.
* '''Empowering''': Illegal acquiring (not via Head of Personnel or Colony Director) of access.
* '''Execution''': Prisoner is killed via means of firing squad, lethal injection, or other means. It is required for the premier to be present or an execution may not proceed. It is required to offer the prisoner the option of how they prefer to die. They should also be offered a last meal. It is not required to follow these preferences if they are deemed unreasonable or impossible. In all cases of execution, respective faction owners should be informed of the execution and the crimes leading up to it. (( A PK may be applicable in this situation. See [[Permanent Death]] for OOC details. ))
* '''Head of Staff''': Crew members occupying one of the following positions: Premier, Guild Master, Blackshield Commander, Warrant Officer, Chief Biolab Overseer, Chief Research Overseer, Chief Executive Officer.
* '''Imminent Peril''': A situation in which there is an apparent and immediate threat of serious injury or death, and it is not possible to escape this threat. Obvious examples are shooting someone trying to stab people. A less obvious example is shooting someone trying to sabotage Atmospherics. Lethal force is justified in such a situation because there's no other options remaining.
* '''HuJ / Holding Until Judgement''': Held (in the brig) until a tribunal is done, or the shift ends. Whichever happens first.
* '''HuT / Holding Until Transfer''': Held (in the brig) until the shift ends. This becomes HuJ when a tribunal is being held for the prisoner.
* '''Severe Injury''': A state in which the victim is in a critical condition and is having difficulty maintaining consciousness.

Demotion and dismissal also require the removal of equipment from the previous job. Uniforms, weapons, bombs, PDA cartridges, etc.

For the purposes of Cyborg/AI laws, crew members that have been convicted, or are being held in detention, are considered to be below even the AI/Cyborgs in terms of rank.

Serving sentences in jail can be replaced with forced labor in some cases.

In cases where the final sentence is more than 90 minutes, it is changed to holding until judgment.

The standard penalty can be applied without a tribunal by Security Officers. Tribunals can assign lesser or higher ones, depending on the circumstances.

== OOC Notes ==
* It's vital to know that the involvement of faction owners means involvement of admins. However, if that happens, admins will try to keep in character. Ergo, the character is '''not''' going to magically know attack logs or fingerprints or anything else they don't know IC, because it's like playing a game with cheat codes. It's fun to screw off for a little while, but then it's going to get really boring.
** The above also applies in the case of admins playing normal security.
** The only exception to the above is in the case of potentially removing a character from the station. See [[Permanent Death]] for details. Admins are not going to PK someone who they know OOCly didn't actually do the crime. If you are guilty though an a execution happens, the chance of permanent removal is extremely high. Contact an admin to find out if an executed character has been removed forever.
* '''Laws ARE NOT RULES for the server itself!''' That means, so long as you have a believable in-character motive for breaking these regulations, you won't get banned for it, especially if good roleplay is your end goal. Conversely, if you're just going around smashing windows for shits and giggles, you're ''obviously'' going to get yelled at by an admin. See [[Rules|the actual server rules]] for more details.
* Laws do NOT protect outsiders unless specified via Low Council vote, High Council decree, or in the case of colony allies. The only time laws may protect a neutral person or Outsider is in the case of the wording being 'Someone', 'Person', or 'People' - implying this would cover non-colony members as well due to its wording.

Rules

2023-02-20T22:29:02Z

Rebel0: Adds records as rule

{{GetStartedHeader}}

These are the rules for the server and ''are subject to change without notice''. For further clarification, use common sense. If you did get banned, there's probably a good reason for it, but if you disagree, you can always make an appeal on the discord. Although these are rules, but they are not infallible, complete, or concrete, and probably never will be despite our best efforts. If ''ever'' something feels wrong, either don't do it, or admin-help it first. Above all, use your common sense, listen to the game staff, and try to keep the game fun for everyone; not just yourself.

If you disagree with the rules as they currently stand, talk about it on the discord or with admins and maybe we can improve them through some healthy criticism and debate.

'''These rules are designed to be written in such a way that you can ''usually'' understand them just by reading the headers''', because reading ''all of this'' would be insanity for most people. If you cannot understand a rule just by looking at it, or wish to know about possible exceptions or examples, click the rule to learn more.

If you find yourself spending too much time reading this page, or are confused about any rules, please contact an admin on Discord to make suggestions on how these rules could be better worded.

== You must be 18 or older to play on this server ==
'''There are no exceptions.''' If the staff suspects that you are underage for any reason, you will be banned from playing on the server until you are able to prove to the satisfaction of the staff that you are at least 18 years old.

*Use of real world slurs, ‘lolspeak’, and other indications of immaturity may be taken as signs that you are underage.

*Knowing another user is underaged but not reporting it is considered grounds for an immediate, permanent ban.

*The age of consent in your country is irrelevant. Your opinion about this rule is irrelevant.

*You may also not play a character who is under 18 years of age.

== Obey the community's global rules ==
These rules apply ''everywhere'', including Discord, the server, and even private discussions with non-admins. However, not all of the global rules are even possible to break in the server, so this wiki page only covers what's relevant to the game server. The overlap from the global rules are:

* No spam.
* No OOCly illegal discussions or content (such as child porn, drugs, piracy, real world threats, etc).
* Respect other users, don't use real-world slurs, and don't intentionally drag private conflicts or in-game conflicts into public OOC (such as on the Discord server, the in-game global OOC channel, or anywhere else).
* Don't intentionally abuse server functions to upset (grief) people, or derail discussions. You know what this means, don't play stupid.
* No complaining about bans unless done properly via an appeal on our [https://sojourn13.space/forum/viewforum.php?f=13 forums] or in an ahelp or otherwise private means as an inquiry to administration staff.

== Don't be an asshole ==
It's fine to say stuff and whatnot but being a outright dick isn't alright, and there's a fine line with that. Also, spamming racist words is still not okay.

=== Do not inconvenience AFK or disconnected characters ===
Under normal circumstances, do not harm or otherwise inconvenience characters whose player is idle, ghosted, or disconnected entirely. There are some exceptions to this rule, as follows:
*Circumstance that warrant the interactions of AFK/SSD players are few and far between if there is ever a case were you are REQUIRED for to take any ID/Bag/Gear from someone that is SSD, Ahelp before hand and with your reason why. Not ahelping before may result in HARSH OOC punishment if you are found to be manipulating them while away, or causing any sort of general tampering with the player. (IE. Don't be an asshole who steals shit from afk players unless its required)
Note: If your moving someone to cryo after the time, this is ok, as long as you do not remove their items unless it's faction important and you have the means to return them properly
*If they've disconnected/idle for more than 15 minutes, you can put them in cryosleep. If you do that, take away all of their belongings except for their jumpsuit, shoes, ID, and PDA, and return everything else to its rightful department.
*If they've committed a crime, jail them as you normally would and conduct their sentence even if they aren't connected. 20 minutes in the brig is still 20 minutes in the brig.
*Emergencies bypass this rule. If it's an emergency and you need something an idle player has to fix it, you may take it. If a fire starts in a room and the AFK player is the only one who can open the door then it's an emergency. Needing to get a snack from the kitchen and robbing the chef does not count as an emergency.

=== ERP preferences must be respected ===
Players should have their ERP prefs listed in their “OOC Meta info” or “OOC Notes” on their characters. You are required to respect these preferences so long as they pertain to ERP. If you are unsure about the meaning of some of their preferences, then use LOOC to discuss it with them. If you accidentally go against someone’s preferences, or someone else goes against yours, work to correct it as quickly as possible, even if that means just deciding in LOOC amongst yourselves that ‘this didn’t happen’ and going your separate ways.

*If you do not like someone's erp preferences you won't be punished for saying so, but do not harass someone just because they like something you don't. It's far easier to simply avoid someone and causing drama will get you into trouble.

*If you are uncomfortable with an ERP theme that you hadn't thought to add (or didn't know existed) to a list of dislikes in your OOC notes, speak up in LOOC as normal. Conversely, those of you foolish enough to put 'anything goes' into your preferences, or anything else vague like this, do so at your own risk. '''You forfeit your right to complain about preference breaking''' if you do not put ''some'' indication of your dislikes into OOC preferences.

**'''Do not OOCly consent to an non-consensual scene and attempt to report it ICly or OOCly.''' This is effectively ''forcing'' players to engage in your fetish scene. Topics like this may make players incredibly uncomfortable or distressed. Do not do this. If you have ''not'' consented to the scene - A-help '''IMMEDIATELY'''.
**Do not do scenes such as this in public. Ever. You will not only be player killed (PK) but also have further punishments put upon you. If you want to opt-in for a scene as such, take it to dorms or a area defined properly as a private area.
**Do not make false allegations of non-consensual scenes in game. Falsely accusing someone of rape or other non-consensual material will result in an immediate ban. This is incredibly bad faith and petty.
**'''Being found in violation of NON-CON rule(s) will be met with an automatic player kill (PK) and Perma Ban with no appeal given investigation. You've been warned as this is not tolerated here.'''

*Do not attempt to force yourself into ERP scenes where the other party (or parties) involved are not comfortable with it, or not even actually participating. This includes (but is not limited to) repeatedly trying to do ERP that a player has blatantly stated they are uncomfortable with, trying to guilt players into having a pity RP with you, etc. You get the idea. Don't do it.

*AFK/SSD/Disconnected players are not valid targets for any ERP.

=== The private areas are protected ===
The ‘dorms’ area on the map are reserved for ERP and are ‘protected’ from interruption. It is a violation of this rule to break into occupied dorms or harass players in dorms. Dorm areas are any personal apartments generally restricted to a specific person such as a head of staffs private bedroom or a dorm area claimed by a specific person, usually through a labeled door.
*The only exception is for security to arrest those who have committed crimes. Security is not allowed to indiscriminately inspect dorms for crimes, but a known criminal hiding in a dorm is not protected by this rule.
*Conversely, it is not permissible to attempt to use dorms to hide from security, or to make their job of finding you harder. The dorms are for people who want to ERP in privacy. Don’t involve them in your shenanigans.

=== Do not disrupt non-public ERP scenes ===
TL;DR is you should avoid screwing with scenes that are not in public areas. The problem is, not everyone knows what is considered public or private. This is especially important for [[Security]] players to know.
*Dorms are considered private obviously. Don't mess with those under any circumstances unless someone inside actively invites you. (Calling for help is considered an invite.)
*If a person is ERPing in a public location they should be asked to vacate to a private dorm room. If they refuse they may be arrested immediately.

=== Speak English ===
We are an English server. All OOC communications are expected to be done in English. It's alright if your English is rough and imperfect, just as long as we can reasonably understand it.

*This also extends into IC communications, but is more flexible as some characters have heavy accents.
*Having a character sometime speak smatterings of other languages is acceptable, but speaking exclusively in these languages for entire sentences is not.

=== Roleplay as long as it's feasible ===
*This is an HRP (Heavy RolePlay) server. You are expected to roleplay your actions with other players as long as it's feasible. If someone engages you in purely ‘robust’ (aka game-mechanics driven) combat while you were attempting to roleplay with them, with no reasonable provocation, please use the admin-help feature to inform an admin.
**Reasonable provocation would be things that deem you too dangerous to be given even a chance to talk. For example, openly wielding a gun while threatening people, charging someone with a knife, trying to create a hazard, or being the target of a manhunt.

*If a fight does begin, you're not expected to type out every gunshot and dodge and attack. That would be absurd. Generally, you roleplay up until the point that it makes sense to start attacking, and then use game mechanics from there. You are allowed to respond to ‘robust’ violence with your own, if you desire, though you should attempt to return to roleplaying as soon as feasible. The environment is not designed for a focus on action, but rather for character-building and roleplaying. When a fight is over, resume roleplaying.

*Movement is considered a game mechanic for the purpose of this rule. Wordlessly running at a security officer who is attempting to arrest you, or wordlessly fleeing from them, is considered engaging in game-mechanic combat. The security officer has valid cause to stop trying to roleplay and stunlock you into the ground.

*Death may not be uncommon at the frontiers of space but it is still impactful. When a character dies, or your own character dies and is revived, death should be considered an immensely painful and graphic experience. One should stay in character during said experiences, statements of ‘oh well’ or mutilating a corpse for ‘fun’ would not be reasonable responses.

*'''You are to have fleshed out character records.''' These are used not only for roleplay but are to be utilized, if specified by staff, for long-term consequences for actions. Players are supported to use these as roleplay documents and treat others with these seriously. Our expectations for what should be in these can be found on [[https://sojourn13.space/wiki/Example_Paperwork#Character_Records|the Character Records page of our Example Paperwork wiki.]]

=== Do not join with an inappropriate ckey ===
Ckeys, better known as BYOND user names, must be appropriate. If any are deemed inappropriate, the ckey will be banned and you will be unable to play on our server until you make an account with an appropriate name.
*Ckeys that mock certain players or groups are an example of inappropriate.
*Ckeys that violate BYOND's terms of service may also be reported.

=== Do not misuse Global OOC ===
Many servers simply mute global OOC. We do not, because the OOC command is useful to have on in an RP heavy server.

* Global OOC is used, for instance, to contact someone you were typing a reply to had walked out of the room before you were done, and you're trying to ask them to come back. It's also useful if you're a new player, or an old player exploring new mechanics, who asks something like, "How do I make Tricord again?" or something short and similar. Short, sweet, and relevant OOC messages are generally okay. Welcoming old players returning, or new players joining, is also generally okay.

* Global OOC is ''not'' for idle banter, ranting, things pertaining to incidents in the current round (see previous rule), in-depth explanations (an explanation that takes more than a few lines), shitposting memes, or discussing topics not relating directly to the game. If you want to chatter OOCly, go to our Discord channel, which is linked from the home page or use LOOC so as to not disturb the rest of the server.

* Also, if someone does misuse OOC, do not complain in global OOC about their misusing of global OOC. Not only are you just making the problem worse, that is considered being a backseat admin, which is prohibited by other rules.

== Keep IC and OOC separate ==
*Don't complain in OOC or LOOC when your actions IC get you in trouble. If its a rules violation then Ahelp or open a ticket on the discord.
*IC (In-character) and OOC (Out-of-Character) actions and knowledge should be separated as much as possible. Don't use OOC channels to discuss what's going on IC until after the round is finished, don't use OOC knowledge to do things your character wouldn't know, such as operate medical machines when a cargo technician. You are not playing yourself in the game, you are controlling a character with their own wants and knowledge and the IC/OOC boundary is to help reflect that.
**Note that these same rules apply to LOOC as well.
*Disconnecting or using other OOC means to avoid IC consequences is against the rules. If you do urgently need to leave the server even though you're being punished, your options are either to surrender and get it over with, or use admin help to inform the admins, "I know Security is after me, but I have to go because (some emergency)." Failure to take ten seconds to tell an admin before disconnecting may result in harsher punishment.

=== Metacomms, metagaming, multi-keying, (etc) are not allowed ===
*Metacomms: Using third-party programs, such as Discord, IRC, Skype, or even the BYOND pager, to discuss and share information of the ongoing round. This excludes other players, can contribute to toxicity among the playerbase, and is often a tactic used by griefers and thus is a no-go.

*Metagaming: Using information obtained from elsewhere to influence IC decisions and actions. Your opinions or knowledge of other players or characters obtained via OOC methods should not direct your IC actions. If you have an OOC grudge against someone, you may not try to antagonize them IC, for example.
** Metagaming sometimes happens by accident due to game mechanics behaving undesirably due to intentional features or unintentional bugs and oversights. If it happens, ask an admin to help straighten things out if you can't do so among yourselves.

*Multi-keying: Logging in with multiple BYOND accounts on our game server. There is never any legitimate reason for you to do this and thus is not allowed.

== Create and play server-appropriate characters ==
Although this is a furry roleplaying server based around 2D spess mans, that doesn't mean anything goes because that is possible. Suspension of disbelief is still important to a good experience, and breaking that suspension of disbelief is bad for roleplaying. Characters who break that suspension of disbelief are not allowed. Saying "it's what my character would do" isn't an automatic protection against this rule if what your character is doing breaks that immersion.

*Play a reasonably sane and mature character, give them a non-immersion breaking first and last name, do not play obvious reference characters, or characters from published works.

*Keep in mind that people do not like pain or dying and usually try to avoid it without good reason. Give your character a reasonable set of strengths, fears, and weaknesses. When writing things for IC, write things out that sound like speech, not emoticons or lolspeak.

*The setting contains no magic. Your character cannot have any superpowers, magical abilities, or anything that does not exist in the setting or cannot be reasonably replicated with game mechanics. If they are not someone who has a good reason to work on the colony, they should not be here.
**The exception to this is purely private roleplay. For example: If your character and another character are in a dorm by themselves, and the other is OOCly fine with it, your character can display potentially supernatural abilities. This is limited to that roleplay, though. You should not discuss anything about that in public. Use magic at your own risk however, because technically the moment your RP is discovered by someone else, it stops being private, putting you in potential violation of this rule.

*Obscenely oversized or undersized characters are forbidden. Minimum height is at least four feet. Maximum height is about eight feet. Anything more or less really pushes the already shaky believably of abhumans and established alien lore.

*If you are playing a lore based species such as sablekyne, mar'qua, opifex, or whatever else we add in the future, you are expected to play the race as they are canonically meant to be played.

*OOC Notes and Flavor Text are '''required'''. Your OOC notes must detail your ERP preferences, and your flavor text should not include non-physical attributes (do not include feelings your character has, or how they act). Character records are something that should be filled out, if you have an issue or don't know how to do it properly, contact a member of staff for help.

*To be a colonist your character '''must''' have at least a ''basic'' understanding of the English language. Outsiders, however, are exempt from this restriction and may be of people from various backgrounds that may not have a grasp of even basic English.

*If your character is suspended, permanently killed off, or otherwise removed from the colony as a consequence for something horrible they did in-character, you are expected to not play that character anymore. If found playing the character again, or a 'clone' to circumvent this result, OOC punishment will be issued.

* '''Do not play vibrantly colored or "sparkle dog" type characters.''' This basically means you should mainly have natural fur coloration and a relatively normal appearance. Yes, our character editor has a ton of color options, including neon colors and many design sprites to do strange things. Creativity is fun, making your appearance incredibly unrealistic or as obnoxious as possible will result in admin intervention. Some leeway is given to races with canonically vibrant colors such as cht'mants and cindarites or custom xenos but try to keep them muted instead of neon. Following the custom species guide does not make you immune from this rule. If an admin asks you to change your color, do so, we have this rule to maintain HRP.

=== Do not kill or attack things (including yourself) for no good reason ===
*This includes yourself. Even in self-defense your goal is to fight off your attacker and survive, killing in a fight should only be done as a last-ditch effort when it's clear it's a you or them situation.

*Suicide or self-mutilation is almost NEVER allowed without prior consent from an admin. Contact an admin if you want to have a character commit suicide. Typically the manner in which suicide is carried out is played as an in-game attention grab and without actual compelling reasons. This can upset those that find this subject OOCly uncomfortable. The punishment for suicide is nearly always a permanent ban, so think about that before you kill yourself.

*Excessive responses are also covered by this. Caving in someone's skull for cutting in line, stabbing yourself in the eye with a screwdriver because you are bored, or jumping off a railing because you're sad, are all examples of being excessive.

*While Antags -- that being self-antags and staff-chosen ones -- are allowed to kill and place bodies out of the way, it's still frowned upon to go out of the way to hide or stash a body in a location without any reason for prolonged times. Attempting to PK people by doing so will result in administrative actions, and even if that isn't the intent, it violates the spirit of the server and may be punished regardless.

=== Do not powergame ===
*Better known as 'playing to win'. As a security person this can be seen as going out of your way and needlessly endangering others to ‘win against’ criminals. As the Colony AI exploiting loopholes in your laws to get yourself out of them or getting the person who subverted you into trouble is another way. There is an implicit allowance for lawed characters to ERP. You may create loopholes for this reason only.

*While this shares several things in common with other rules, it still is it's own entity. Play to have fun, allow yourself to lose now and again and roll with the blows as it can make things potentially even more interesting.

*Having '''way''' too many skills for one character is another example of this. Just because you're the premier and have access to everywhere doesn't mean you should (or can) know how to do all the different jobs. (See [[Character Creation#Give them a set of skills|Character Creation]] regarding skills for more information.)

*[[Identifying Antagonists]] when you shouldn't be able to is also a violation of this rule.

=== Do not godmode ===
* Often confused with powergaming, godmoding is to create abilities out of nowhere, or do impossible things. If the action cannot be reasonably emulated in the confines of the game's mechanics, and it gives you some kind of advantage or is exceptionally weird, it's probably not allowed. For example, if you don't have access to a mechanic for turning invisible, you can't turn invisible. Saying you're invisible doesn't mean squat.

* Creating a character who is immune to injuries or pain also falls under this. The game won't let you ignore getting shot, why would any player allow it either?
** If your character is literally coded to ignore pain, you can ignore pain. Cyborgs and robots are a notable example. They do not feel pain. They are not immune to injury, however.

* Accidental injuries are still in-character injuries unless an admin heals you. Admin heals are generally out of character to void the injury.

* '''Admins who are caught abusing admin powers to godmod will be immediately dealt with.'''

===Do not abuse whispers===
Any actions that would obviously be visible should not be hidden using whispers, this includes ERP, whispers longer than a sentence, or actions that would obviously be visible to anyone glancing you way. If you need to speak something longer than a sentence but want to keep it quiet use the whisper command. Anyone caught using whispers to hide obviously visible actions of paragraphs of texts will get slapped for it.

=== Rules of ‘Self-Antag’ ===
To start with here are some of the bare bone basic rules when self-antagging without properly a-helping for full antag.
* Do not be hostile to other crew for no legitimate reason.
* Don’t break things, steal things.
* Do NOT be Self-Antag without proper IC reasoning. Reasoning along the lines of "I'm bored" or "Giving Security something to do" is NOT a valid reason to be an asshole. Make sure your reason(s) are believable and why your actions make logical IC sense to any Admin
* Think about how a normal person would behave under similar circumstances. A well established character who has been around awhile may be given a bit of wiggle room to keep rounds interesting.

Things that are off limits without Ahelping and getting cleared with an admin before head are
* Breaking into earther of the armories that are maintained by the colony.
* The AI room and killing/modifieing the AI without a good reason.
* Heads of Staff rooms to steal unreplaceable gear/artifacts
* The spare ID in the Premier's office.
** The council may ''borrow'' the spare to handle activities such as issuing a new or missing ID, but are ''NOT'' to abuse it without A-helping first.

One key thing to remember is in any scenario you should be running/non-lethally fighting security when they come to arrest you unless you want to comply for a shorter sentencing. Always aim to escape and try not to ever use lethal methods else if someone dies you may be perma-brigged or executed. Security can have fun chasing and fighting a criminal, just be wary of pitfalls, nobody likes fighting a no-rp character, build things up first before jumping straight to mechanics.

Ask yourself these few questions.
* 'Would people have fun if I did this or no?'
* 'Does my character believe they have a legitimate good reason to be doing this?'
Going further into it, actions have consequences, if you're caught. If you're unsure if doing this or that is a-okay, then it would be best to check with a staff member beforehand.

'''Once you've become established and been around enough here are some guides and tips to self antagging:'''
The key goal to self antagging is to create roleplay that is enjoyable or otherwise fun for players to interact with to differ from the norm. Below are a list of examples but you should always consider "are other people having fun or am I just being a dick?"
* Buying and selling contraband.
* Starting a drug production operation in a secluded spot in the colony.
* Disguising yourself as a specific department and gaining access to it while pretending to be a member of that department until someone notices.
* Extorting people for cash with a good old fashioned mugging.

One thing to keep in mind when doing this is the fine line between being an enjoyable self antag and a griefer. Below is a list of things someone who self antags should be wary of.
* Don't complain when you lose or get brigged for a long time. Whatever punishment you receive as a self antag are a example of the rule that you agreed to in terms of handling consequences.
* Never use explosives that cause serious damage or ruin someone's round, without admin approval. A flashbang or force bomb so tiny it doesn't even break tiles? That's okay. A plasma bomb? You will get banned.
* Don't kill other players as a general rule. Not only will this get you killed or perma-brigged yourself but admins will immediately be alerted to your shenanigans if they haven't already and will be scrutinizing you far closer. Causing someone to die but still capable of revival is a little more acceptable then crushing someone's brain and removing them from the round entirely. Any forms of perma death will attract admin attention incredibly fast.
* Do not self antag more than once a day. Seriously, doing it every single time you play will swiftly get admin intervention. Once in awhile is good RP but every shift is a pain.
As a general rule, if nobody complains about your actions its assumed they are enjoying your shenanigans, but complaints will gain the staff attention and have use look through logs to see if you acted in a way that is good roleplay. If someone does complain immediately in LOOC because you sedated them or so, ignore them and continue on. Staff will handle such matters accordingly as immediate LOOC salt is not a good response.

*You cannot have a character with an “antagonist” background. Your ex-mercenary ex-ninja ex-cultist is not allowed, but certain criminal backstories might be okay. If in doubt, ask an admin.

*We play on ‘Extended’ round type most of the time, and this means that there are no automatically chosen antagonist roles. Most other SS13 servers have antags, but we do not. Any antagonists are staff-selected players, picked to play a specific role.

*And finally although we all enjoy creating interesting RP situations and getting immersed in the round, it is frowned on by staff to "start shit" near round end (15-30mins.)No one wants to wait around for some dumb-ass to have their 30+ mins of glory while we all wait for you to get arrested/investigated/faxed/ect. These situations happen sometimes and we understand that, but do TRY to avoid it. Staff is encouraged to enforce account [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strikes]] &/or temporary bans or more if you are shown to be a consistent issue.

Remember that if you ''are'' selected to be an antagonist-type role, it ''does'' give you some wiggle room than usual as far as the server rules go, but it '''does not''' give you permission to ''break'' any rules. Stick to your objectives, don't be over-the-top and ruining everyone else's fun if you can avoid it. Ask for admin help if you're not sure.

=== You are expected to perform the job you signed up for ===
When your character joins the round, you are accepting the responsibilities that the job you have chosen brings with it. Remember: if you are playing in a slot, you are likely preventing other players from performing that role. It is important that you fulfill the tasks that you have signed up for!
*Marhals should protect the colony from danger, the guild should ensure that power is up and that people can breathe, medical should provide treatment to injuries and other services, cargo should bring in needed cargo on request, Science should do... science stuff, and service should provide food. Command's job is to make sure at least these basics are being fulfilled, and to react accordingly in an emergency.

*A player must take into account the qualifications (both physical and mental) of their character’s role before placing them into it. If staff find your character to be unsatisfactory in fulfilling the requirements of the role, we may instruct you to revise your character.
**This includes majorly disabled characters — quadruple amputees, deaf, or blind characters, and so on — which are only permitted on the colony in the assistant (and associated alt-titles) job slot.

*Repeatedly failing to perform to an acceptable standard can result in a ban untill appealed.

*Job [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strikes]] are a counter of 0/3 which is noted on your character, after 3 job strikes, which can be earned by bad faxes or legitimate demotions from a head of staff, your character is permanently fired from that department until an appeal is made. Job strikes last 3 months, with the timer resetting with each strike.

*If you are going AFK for an extended period of time (more than 15 minutes), and are occupying a limited-number job slot (any slot other than assistant), you must remove your character from the round using a cryopod (or other similar means) to free the slot. Repeated failure to do this may result in being banned from that job.

*Do not do other people’s jobs. If you joined as medical, do not attempt to hunt down criminals. If you joined as engineering, do not attempt to perform medical treatment on your coworkers. If you are a head position, allow your staff to do work before you do the work yourself; you are a supervisor and manager first and foremost as a head position.

*Do not hijack other people's jobs. For example, if you're a roboticist but someone needs surgery, and there's already a surgeon who isn't currently busy, then don't perform the surgery instead of letting them do it. Similar examples exist with every department, so use your judgement. Basically, if you're ''actively getting in the way'' of someone else trying to do their job, you're probably breaking this rule.

*Playing jobs that can be called upon at any time to assist other crew members in emergencies waives your right to have interruption-free (E)RP sessions in private, including the dorms. If you join as a Lifeline Tech, expect to be interrupted out of private scenes. If you’re an engineer, you are expected to set up power systems and repair any large-scale damage that hampers the rest of the crew, regardless of your intent to have sex with the assistants. (Example: The premier getting their rocks off with someone while they are being called to assist with colony matters. They signed up to be the arbiter of colony matters. ERP is not what you are here for in that role. "saying you are busy or occupied" will incur a job [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strike]].)

*If you do prospecting as an non-prospector for more than 30-60 minutes without being in an expedition with them and you are not doing your job, you may get a talking to. If you want to play like a prospector - just play the job instead of ignoring the one you signed up for.

*Maintenance diving is not a valid reason to be busy from your assigned job. If you are requested to perform the actions of your role while maintenance diving it is expected that you make your way out of maintenance in a timely manner.

=== You are expected to obey the chain of command (within reason) ===
*Each head of staff is the de facto leader of their department, so listen to them. Likewise, you should obey decisions from faction owners (if a fax arrives) or council decisions unless directly overridden by an admin. If you consistently do not follow reasonable orders, you will be job banned.

*If you're playing a role that has [[AI#Interpreting_Your_Laws|AI laws]], you must obey these laws first and foremost to the best of your ability.

*As any role without AI laws, you can disobey orders you think are traitorous, harmful, immoral, or violating [[Laws]]. Use your judgement and consider whether or not disobeying the order could get you in trouble or get someone else horribly killed.

*If you are given an order or AI law that may break another server rule, please alert the admins for a second opinion before continuing.

Mind you, this is '''not''' a rule that lets people be fun police as heads of staff. If you feel that someone is ordering you do things that basically require you ''not'' to do your job, or to do your job in ways that aren't important/fun, then contact an admin for a second opinion or fax a faction owner in character.

=== You are expected to forget events that are deemed non-canon ===
*This is to keep things a little more sane in-round, and to allow for players with preferences in non-consensual activities to have their fun with people who share those prefs as victims. It is therefore against this rule to remember and abuse the knowledge of who killed/raped after the round has passed unless both people involved agree. You should not have the memory to antagonize or persecute your attacker without the prior OOC agreement of the other parties in the roleplay. They can include this consent in their OOC Metainfo/Notes or discuss it with you in LOOC before or after the roleplay.

*Keep in mind that non-consensual RP, while OOC, is fine it is not on an IC level. Characters who make their non-con actions public or get caught in the act can and will be permanently killed if caught. For example, if a person is tried and executed for rape that character is permanently dead and cannot reappear on the colony. If you wish to do non-con keep it private. '''You've been warned.'''

*The round ending does not make you immune to a character perma-kill. Just because you evaded capture or was not killed by the time it restarted does not mean everyone forgets what your character did. If you get caught and the evidence is ironclad enough, you will be PK'd.

*This rule also applies to events that cause catastrophic damage to the colony, such as a code red/delta scenario. As a general rule event coordinators '''should''' say before or after an event if it is non-canon or not.

*If you are killed in a round and then revived in the same round, you're memory is entirely intact and may act accordingly.

= The intent of the rules is more important than the letter =
The purpose of the rules is to preserve a fun and enjoyable environment for all players. If everyone is enjoying themselves even while the ‘letter’ of a rule is not being followed, it’s likely that no staff intervention will be required. On the other hand, just because something isn't in the rules doesn't mean it's okay or allowed if it's upsetting a large number of players.

*It is within admin staff's discretion to decide that certain actions violate one or more rules, even if the specific action is not listed as part of the rule. This is simply the job of the staff to interpret the rules. You can appeal decisions to other admins if you believe one has a bias against you, but doing so after a ruling is passed will get you in trouble.

*Plenty of rules are left vague enough to cover as much as possible without being too oppressing. Attempting to rules-lawyer saying that "this rule doesn't specifically say I can't do X", even if what you are doing is disrupting the server, will generally be ignored. We assume most of you have enough common sense to recognize what a [[#Create_and_play_server-appropriate_characters|sane and stable individual]] would and wouldn't do within this fictional setting.

=== Listen to admin staff ===
* One admin's word is usually as good as any other. Though, just because one admin says something is okay in that moment does not mean it will always be okay under another admin or even the same admin.
** If this causes a contradiction, you can (and should) inform the new admin of what you were told previously. For example, a Head Admin says you can do something, but that admin has left the server. A lower ranked admin shows up and asks you to stop doing that thing. You can explain that the Head Admin previously said you could do this, but if the lower ranked admin ''still'' wants you to stop, then you should stop. (This obviously works vise-versa as well.)
** Intentionally not telling a new admin about a contradiction is considered lying. It's like asking your mom for ice cream, but she says no, so you go ask dad because you think he'll be less strict.
* Sojourn is not a straight democracy; our rules and guidelines exist for a reason and we have staff dedicated to enforcing them and help set further guidelines if necessary. '''However, these rules are always going to be incomplete, and as such, just because something isn't written doesn't mean it's allowed.''' If a staff member tells you to do something, do it. They tell you to stop, then stop. If you disagree with a ruling, don't try to argue it then and there, especially if things are hectic. Once things have calmed down, or preferably after the round has ended, you can try to contact the staff member privately to discuss the ruling, or talk to another admin if you cannot talk to or cannot convince the offending admin.

* If you have a question over something unclear or questionable, never be afraid to adminhelp. The staff on hand should discuss it among themselves and give you a ruling, from there on if the ruling is in bad judgement, it's on the admin who cleared it, not ''you''. '''The staff should also NEVER ban you purely for a complaint against them.''' Even if you're a complete asshole about it, as long as the argument stays private, you cannot be banned just for arguing. Although being an asshole usually won't win an argument, so you probably shouldn't do that anyway.
** Don't confuse this for "complaining grants you immunity to bans", because that's not how it works. If you are told to not break windows and you complain how that isn't fair, you're still getting banned for breaking windows if we disagree with your complaint. What this means is we won't ban you or make an existing ban worse just because you tell us we're being excessively mean, confusing, or unfair to you or someone else.

= Dungeoneering =
A core aspect of our server is our PvE content, this can range from going into randomly generated dungeons, leaving the safety of the colony, or simply crawling through maintenance. However, we also have specific jobs for this and ones who should be doing this. As such, '''jobs discouraged or disallowed from dungeoneering are actively targeted by staff when spotted.''' Refer to the list below of jobs allowed to or dungeoneer.
===Core Dungeoneering===
These jobs are allowed to enter and leave the colony, and dungeons at will. There expected to do a wide range of things and will never be targeted for being in these areas.
* Foreman | Salvager | Prospector
* Lodge Hunt Master | Lodge Hunter
* Outsider

=== The Junkfield ===
The Junkfield has no restrictions on any role or job, do to its infinitely reproducible allowing no gameplay or fun to be lost by people using it.
* Anyone - Any reason as long as they are not ignoring or breaking their job.

===Staff Guide for Handling Dungeoneering===
When someone not in the listed jobs above is caught in a dungeon, admin staff are not only instructed to but '''encouraged''' to decide if the player is affecting the overall round to a negative effect and use in-game traps and mobs to kill the respective offender using the listed guide when needed. (Keep in mind we're here to have fun not punish people like robots following stonecold laws for breaking the rules. Use your best mindset for this.) However, this comes with a check list of things that need to be verified.

# Is the person apart of an event (official, mini-event, player run) that gives them a good roleplay reason to be in the area? I.E. the prospectors wanted extra hands and church litanies for healing, so they paid a vector to come with them.
# Is the person there for a reason that isn't looting? I.E. are they rescuing someone who is injured, etc. etc.
# If both answer to both is no, all staff must first subtle message the player in question with a warning of some kind such as "Something doesn't feel right, you're being watched..." or "An unearthly silence fills the space around you." or similar foreboding messages.
# '''Give them a reasonable amount of time to flee the area''' (usually 5 minutes) after the warning is given so they can avoid being killed.
# If they have not left, start by adding additional mobs/traps in their way as they continue. Under no circumstances should a player ever see the mobs or traps spawned, this means you cannot as staff randomly spawn mobs on top of, in front of, or in implausible locations to harm the offender. This includes spawning hard to spot traps in the path of a walking player, '''do not do this'''. As a rule, all additional spawns should be 7 or more tiles away from the player at all times. All methods to ramp the difficulty must be done in such a way that it makes perfect sense in-character, using thematically appropriate traps/enemies. I.E. You shouldn't be spawning primal renders inside the greyson field offices, etc. etc.
# Ramp up the pressure until they are dead. Do not begin with 10-20 spiders, start with 3-4 and keep progressing until they are overwhelmed or use lethal traps that they could avoid but will kill them if they're not careful. The goal is first to scare them to flee and only kill them if they persist. Staff who actively and badly enforce this rule without properly adhering to this list will get a [[Job_Strikes_and_You | Strike]]. If they get 3 or more strikes, they are no longer allowed to enforce this rule and may be demoted.
# The body should remain intact and reviable '''the first time this happens.''' The second time in the same round, a guilty offender should be rendered unreviable via being devoured by roaches. '''Do not gib or severely fuck up a body beyond repair on the first offense.'''

Laws

2023-02-20T22:27:00Z

Rebel0: /* Specialty Charges */

The colony laws are a series of regulations that all interest groups on the High Council have agreed to, applying them broadly to all colonists inside the colony. The colony’s Marshals are expected to uphold and enforce these laws, and all departments are expected to follow them. This is not a general guide to security. All new marshals should review the official [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]]. It is important to know that all offenses listed below should be followed as a ‘guideline’ by law enforcement personnel and do allow for victim rights and alternative solutions to minor offenses. For example, you are not required to give a sentence if the problem can be resolved in an alternative way that the suspect agrees to, such as an agreement with the victim in return for not pressing charges, or peer mediation. To understand how to go about a proper arrest, or other clarifications such as prisoner rights, alert levels, and more, see [[Standard Operating Procedure]]. Note that Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is enforced via the head of staff. To be charged with a violation of SOP, a head of staff has to request a relevant charge be levied, such as denial of a reasonable order.

'''Law's protections, and rights only apply to colonists and colony allies. Visitors, outsiders, and groups unconnected to the colony have no rights and therefore no protections under the law.'''

== Interpretation of the Law ==
'''<big>All colony law is subject to the standard of INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. No one is to ever be assumed guilty, evidence must be presented that reasonably proves guilt.</big>'''

A good working knowledge of the law is important for any person on the station. It can be the difference between a shiny pair of handcuffs and sipping drinks in the bar. More in-depth interpretations of the law are required for such positions as the ranger, officer, premier, and the warrant officer. For certain crimes, the accused party's intent is important. Intent can be the difference between a charge such as, say, manslaughter and murder. One requires purposeful intent, the other is unintentional and typically caused by negligence or workplace accident. It is also important to note that manslaughter and murder are mutually exclusive. This indicates that an individual must be charged with one or the other, not both. Neither could someone be charged with both assault and murder on an individual if there is only a single victim, the higher-grade charge must be the charge applied in that case.

All of this will be explained in detail as you read on, including specialty clauses, cases, guides, and explanations to how a Marshal or servant of the law should think when interpreting legal issues such as criminal acts or disputes.

Here are a few basic to-know bullet points for officers:
* '''To ensure you, as an arresting officer, don't fall into the trap of negligence or misuse of power, always follow procedure where possible as detailed by [[Standard_Operating_Procedure#Marshals|standard operating procedure]].'''
* As an arresting officer, follow the [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]] to ensure you don't fall foul of legal proceedings.
* In the case of pressed charges being in the same category (i.e Battery, Assault, Murder - or Vandalism, Theft, Grand Theft) take only the most severe charge. Any lesser charges in this case should not be applied.
* A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took 3 items off someone, this is a single count of theft. Otherwise this would count as 'crime-stacking', which is against SOP and law.
* When deciding on a timer for multiple crimes committed, take each crime into consideration separately. Then add the times together to get a final concise timer. This should be the timer issued to an offender when they are put in a cell.
* '''The time taken to bring in an offender and the time taken when questioning the offender are NOT to be calculated into their issued timer.''' Timers begin when plugged in on a cell's console. However, offenders should be processed as quick as reasonably possible as-per their rights as employees within the colony.

=== Victim Rights ===

'''A victim holds the right to drop charges if the listed charge allows it.''' This would apply to charges such as: Assault, Theft, Trespass, or other 100 to 200-tier offenses. Victims may also collect monetary value equal to their losses from the offender in question, such as any incurring medical bills or loss of property. Both of these clauses are there to allow a victim peace of mind and to make sound decisions rather than being forced into court cases.

There are some exemptions, however. Such as in the case of any 'red paragraph crime', such as those equal to a 400-level “Exceptional” charge or a 500-level “Capital” charge. These charges include crimes such as attempted murder, manslaughter, grand theft, or the like and may '''not''' be dropped at any time by a victim. The reason being that these criminal acts extend further than creating a victim, but also threatening the lives of others. Officers 'may' take into account an offender’s circumstances and a victim's testimonial when deciding intent and timers but no dropping of charges may occur.

=== Fines & Timers ===

Some crimes may offer either a fine or a timer, or in some cases, 'both' a fine and a timer together. It is ultimately at the discretion of the arresting officer and/or the warrant-filer what the punishment for an offense should be.

Fines are ultimately recommended for most low-level crimes, if they are listed under the ‘timer’ section of the quick reference guide. If, however, an offender is non-cooperative, a repeat offender, or otherwise hindering an investigation a timer should be issued instead. Fines are to be paid to the Marshal department directly, while any compensation, such as to damaged property or medical fees, should be directed to the victim and/or the victim department.

Timers are to be decided by the senior authority, typically either a ranger or warrant officer. If in the case where neither are available then the arresting officer may decide. Timers should not exceed a maximum time allocated to the charge '''unless''' modifiers are added on; such as a repeat offender who would receive double the time. Timers 'may' be less than the allocated maximum time depending on circumstances and modifiers that would normally subtract time from one’s sentence, such as cooperation with security personnel or in cases of entrapment.

== Heads of Staff & Lower Council Law ==

'''Heads of staff are not above the law, and can be arrested by the marshals for breaking it.''' The 'only' time that the law can be overridden is when there is an imminent and overwhelming threat to the colony, such as during a Code Delta scenario.

'''A determination of no-wrongdoing may result in the dismissal of charges levied or a negating of any brig time served.''' Determinations of no-wrongdoing must be done by a Warrant Officer after an investigation, which must be faxed to the Office of the Provost Marshal, the Provost Marshal himself, or the colonies High Council. Any Warrant Officer found to abuse their authority to declare improper cases of no-wrongdoing may be demoted and arrested for exceeding their official power alongside other charges, such as falsifying information or providing false testimony.

A vote held by the Lower Council may also be used to indite some charges, such as abuse of power or charges related to disrupting the Low Council. Any crime that requires judgement, such as crimes labeled as 'HuJ' / Hold until Judgement, should be decided on in a timely manner by the Lower Council through a tribunal. A tribunal '''must''' follow the Legal Standard Operating Procedure to be considered legal. A tribunal must properly vote and may only be overturned by the High Council itself. It is ultimately up to the Lower Council if they wish for a proper legal court trial or to operate as they would a normal meeting, but one of the two options must be used.

The Low Council may opt to give timers over the normal-maximum, set specialty timers, or issue specific parole conditions via tribunal and deliberation if desired. These rulings may be overturned by the High Council if its conditions are found to be unreasonable or a violation of employee rights.

=== Legal Standard Operating Procedure ===

Tribunals are the main way major decisions are made aboard the station and the defendant does not have to be involved. There is not specified length for how long a tribunal must be. Basically it's the same as the old trial, but without a jury and slightly streamlined. An AI may fill in for a premier for tribunals and can be trusted to be accurate, however, an AI may not replace a premier for the purpose of voting for execution.

* '''Purpose:''' For crimes or decisions that require more than one person, or crimes where there is no set punishment.

* '''Overview:''' A minimum of three heads of staff must discuss this issue and vote on the outcome with a premier (or AI substitute) over seeing the tribunal.

* '''Process:''' The premier (or stand-in AI) should call the heads of staff for a tribunal with the situation and proposed outcome. This can be done formally in a meeting room, or informally over radio.

* '''Conviction:''' The tribunal must vote on the outcome, and the outcome must win by a majority vote (over 50%). If there is a tie, the premier's vote wins. For an execution to take place, the vote must be unanimous.

* '''Sentencing:''' If the vote passes, the outcome may be enacted, usually by the marshals. The decision can be appealed once by either the defendant or a volunteer.

==Salvaging Rights==

These laws will attempt to make clear what is, and is not salvage. Who has rights over what claims, the proper handling of claims and so fourth. These laws MUST be enforced by Nadezhda Marshals, or Blackshield, depending on the jurisdiction of the 'claim' and apply to all colonists of the Nadezdha Colony as well as Colony Allies and 'Neutral' third parties.
Basic salvage rights entail only the following caveats;
* Trash piles, unclaimed and clearly unowned items and storage containers are the rightful property of the 'first claimant'. A trash pile belongs to the first person to touch it, an abandoned locker to the first one to reach it, et cetera.
* Clearly owned property must be respected. A labeled cart, a gun who's serial is registered and thus known - these are considered personal property, and must be respected.
Additionally the following rules apply to all 'claims'
* If an item is stolen and then rediscovered in an area that would normally count as right-to-loot then it must be returned as it is their rightful property.
* Crime scenes. Any item taken from a crime scene is chargeable by theft, obstruction of duty, and suspicious conduct. A crime scene's boundaries will be clearly marked by tape set up by Marshals or Blackshield.
* Items dropped by colonists or allies due to severe injuries are their rightful property, and MUST be returned.
* The areas owned by colony allies or factions (such as Voidwolf ally Ships or the Soteria Solar Outpost), and clearly defined departmental zones are barred from allowing salvage claims.

===Types of Salvage Claims===
In summary, there are four types of salvage areas. Claimed, Unclaimed, disputed and free

*Claimed areas are those within colony borders(or the borders of colony allies) that have a lawful mandate placed over them, determined typically by the High Council, or at times low council. These locations are the claim-right of a particular faction, ally, et cetera. The FULL contents of these areas is the rightful claim of their respective owners, and any contents taken are effectively treated as their 'rightful property'. Though mere presence on a claim is not generally sufficient to result in charges, the removal of property from them(I.E scavving) is cause for charges of trespass, theft, and grand theft. Additionally, a modifier "Breach of salvage rights" should be applied to each of these charges and any items taken returned or, if not possible - their value owed in remediation.

*Unclaimed areas, while still within colony property, have no rightful claim placed on them, such claims may be enacted at the discretion of the High council, foreman and low council(in that order of importance), having to be properly ratified and faxed to be valid.

*Uncontested areas are new zones or uncertain zones that have no current claims. While they may be within the borders of the Colony or its Allies, they are generally free to loot so long as general scavenging rules are observed. Conflicts, theft and similar SHALL be punished by law.

*Free areas are neither within colony territory nor hold any special claim. These areas are typically considered 'free' of salvage rights and include but are not limited to; the untamed wilds past the colony border and space(and areas located within that do not fall under the purview of the previous types of claims).

===Known claims and their status===
*The Nadezdha colony maintains that the areas in its immediate vicinity, as well as the jungle directly south and the crater directly west are 'colony property' and not subject to claims by non-colony forces.

*Colony maintenance is 'unclaimed', thus only basic salvage rights must be respected.

*The Prospectors hold exclusive claims over the following areas; Greyson Positronics field offices and attached locations, this include the Greyson Positronics Gantlet. 'Preppers' bunker. 'Ironhead compound' Smuggler base. 'Zoo' research facility.

*The 'Scrap haven' is, as of now, a shared claim between the Prospectors and Hunters lodge - However, the Hunters Lodge has abdicated any right to lease their hold on the claim.

*The hunters Lodge holds exclusive claim over the following areas; The lodge itself and land upon which it sits, and the plains in the immediate vicinity of their lodge

*The 'Salvage Fields' are 'free' claims, though basic salvage rights should be respected.

*The assorted, smaller 'Points of Interest' in the immediate vicinity of the colony are 'uncontested'(E.G, scorched outpost, lost outpost, etc).

===Enforcement of Claims and Jurisdiction.===
As previously stated, it is the duty of Marshals and Blackshield to enforce salvaging rights - though they may vary on where their areas of jurisdiction come into play. 
Blackshield are largely expected to handle matters of salvage disputes where exterior forces threaten Nadezdha Colony(or upon request, colony allies) claims. Exterior factions attempted to jump claims owned by Prospectors should result in their dispatching. 
Marshals however are granted jurisdiction over legal matters of enforcement. Colonists jumping claims that are rightfully held should be charged accounting for the details of the matter. 
In the event where jurisdiction may be at question, it is important to remember that while the blackshield holds legal jurisdiction outside the perimeter fence - they are typically less oriented in the minutiae of law, and should they have to step in to enforce claims upon colonists past the walls they must hand over said colonists on return for processing by Marshals. 

===Additional Caveats===
*Salvage rights may, at the determination of their holder - be granted or leased. E.G, The Prospectors may, at the determination of the Foreman or Overboss Hogg grant rights over claims to other factions, allies, etc.
*The leasing of scav-rights by Foremen must, by order of Overboss Hogg be both A. reported to his office and either a cut of the total salvage or trade of 'equal value' taken. The Overboss adds that the job of prospectors is not to make friends, but to make money and that failure to properly extract value from such deals will result in consequences
*Though it is held that claimants have the right to defend their stake(with force if necessary) it is expected that Claimants use reasoned force in such and that the holding of such stakes be clearly communicated. E.G; A neutral party trespasses on a Colony claim, prospectors must clearly communicate that such a claim exists and offer opportunity for the claim-juimpers to return the stolen salvage and leave before force is used.
*Lonestar's disposal and recycling room. Lonestar shares the rights with the Church to this area but the church may not take any form of materials or items except items containing significant bio-matter (ex. animal meat, bio sheets, food, clothing, etc. etc.). Neither faction may order the other to leave under any circumstance, this location is considered jointly controlled and should not be modified without approval of the prime and CEO.

|}

=== Minor Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Thermals are considered contraband for all departments. Thermals are however permitted outside the colony or during a declared red alert level. This goes for the augmentations, glasses, helmets or rig-suit modules. The following items are considered thermals: Augmented shades, Thermo-nightvision helmets, Thermal goggles, Thermal augmentations and bioaugmentations. Along with any hardsuit modules that contain thermals.
** If either Church or Soteria provide to a colonist thermals illegally they are to be charged for minor contraband. If a Soteria staff continues to do so repeatedly, then they are to be demoted immediately. Heads of staff in Soteria or the Church continuing are to be detained, charged with abusing their executive powers, and demoted after a fax has been sent up to the faction leader.
** Permits can temporarily be issued by a Warrant Officer for their usage or transportation through the colony. Any surgical implantation of thermal augments by Soteria requires a properly written form signed by both the doctor and the Warrant Officer permitting such augments be used under Soteria's supervision.
* The shooting range is considered a testing zone for science. Items sent from science to the range for testing must be announced over general comms. In the instance of Soteria testing explosives up at the shooting range, it must be a device capable of small explosives only. Larger explosions are to be tested out in the mines.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered minor contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* All encryption keys that are not supplied to a colonists workplace are considered minor contraband. If sensitive or private information is gained through the use of encryption keys that a colonist should not have access to they should also be charged with violation of employee privacy. This is applied even if it was not the intent of the person using the encryption key. Legal access to an encryption key can be given by any employee of the faction or head of staff, but the head of staff reserves the right to remove any access to any non-employee at any time for any reason. Please note that allies and neutral factions may have their own encryption keys - these are not illegal and should never be taken away.
* ID cards that are modified to give access to a normal departmental area of the colony without head departmental permissions are considered contrband. If, however, this access is issued either by a relevant head of staff or during the case of an emergency no timer or charge should apply. Legal access may be given by a head of staff to their department to another employee at anytime but may also be revoked at any time at the discression of the issuing head of department.
* Any weapons confiscated as in violation of the colony's 'Long Arm Policy' are considered contraband items. They are to be logged and placed into storage effective immediately in accordance with SOP.

|}

=== Major Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Soteria may test combat mechs at a firing range or outside the colony but '''must''' announce any and all movements of where the mech will be moving. Including the starting point to the desired ending point of the travel. These mechs may '''not''' be left in public spaces or otherwise operated, apart from moving through, public spaces unless exemptions are provided in the case of an emergency by security personnel.
** Permits for a combat mech may be temporarily issued by a Warrant Officer to non-Soteria personnel. The [[Example_Paperwork#Item_Application|proper forms]] should be filled out and the mech either housed inside of the employee's designated department or within Soteria's mech bay when not being used. Transporting any combat mech of any kind must be announced over public comms and cannot be driven freely across the colony. This policy and associated paperwork applies to any mech, including those obtained through salvage.
** Non-standard combat mechs / Non-combat mechs rigged for combat are not legal to own nor may receive licenses for normal usage. However, during Code Red or Code Delta emergencies they may be utilized by security personnel or otherwise permitted to be used by personnel determined to be fit and trust worthy by security personnel. All jury rigged weapons should be removed after the state of emergency without exception.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered major contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* Bluespace harpoons, and other teleportation items, may be used for research purposes by Soteria institute personnel. However, this does not mean they can be transported openly nor used or otherwise utilized outside of Soteria research departmental grounds. If transported outside of the department major contraband charges are applicable. If misused to teleport and employee unwillingly, as teleportation can be incredibly dangerous if not life threatening, see §413 - Unwilling Teleportation.

==== Explosive Exemptions ====
Contraband explosives are considered, but not limited to: any device presently capable of causing wide-spread and reasonably uncontrolled damage. This includes, but is not limited to, frag grenades, incendiary grenades, EMP grenades, tank transfer bombs, explosives grenades, incendiary grenades, land mines, and other similar objects capable of replicating any of the listed items effects. Items such as non-explosive flashbangs, smoke grenades, or cleaning grenades are not considered explosives. An oxygen tank, transfer valve, plasma tank, or scrap rifle with its safety measures enable would not count individually as explosives, only if the devices were within reasonable proximity and had steps taken to allow them to be used as explosives. I.E. a scrap rifle with its safety systems off is contraband, a persons bag containing heated plasma tanks, oxygen tanks, and transfer valves would be reasonably considered an explosive object. This exception only applies if the objects are, viably, capable of causing an explosion, if the plasma tank and oxygen tanks are empty and cannot explode it would not be considered contraband. Best and reasonable judgment applies.

Exceptions to the above clause may only be found in four cases:

1. The Marshals and Blackshield may use whatever explosives they require to perform their duties during a code blue or higher scenario. Responsibility for all damage to persons or property are the sole responsibility of the individual using the explosive devices. Low-yield grenades and small-arms explosive ordinance, such as grenade launcher rounds, may be tested at Marshal or Blackshield ranges with proper notification that explosives will be fired at the specified range.

2. Soteria Research may use any manner of explosives in the pursuit of research, the determination of what is considered ‘research’ is left to the sole discretion of the chief research overseer or, in the event one is not present, the biolab overseer. If neither is present, a low council vote is required to determine if the pursuit of research is considered scientific.

3. Prospectors may carry and use explosives outside colony walls at their discretion, provided the explosive do not damage colony property or other persons from the colony or colony allies. Prospectors must hold all explosives within their department or with security in either the gate house or armory. The transportation of explosives should always be announced publicly, similar to the transport of rifle class firearms.
In the event a prospectors wishes to sell explosive devices, be it to Soteria or Lonestar, this must be done with a member of the blackshield or marshal present and in the lobby of the respective department. In this scenario the explosive(s) must be stored in the buying department immediately. A form and record of the transaction should be recorded by security and filed with the WO, premier, sergeant, commander, and supply specialist.

4. Permits '''may''' be written for temporary explosive usage within determined location at the descression of the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist. Examples would be the allowance of Lonestar mining personnel to make use of small-yield explosive devices in mining operations, or temporary permits for Church for the transport of grenades for use in Deep Maintenance.

Failure to comply with the above section can and will result in the applicable charges and fines as expected by discretion of security personnel. This may include, but is not directly required to, charges of major contraband or negligence. In the event the explosive device is misused this may be upgraded to additional charges of terrorism, manslaughter, or murder. Improperly stored explosives that are stolen may confer charges both to the individual who stole and misused them and the individual who failed to properly safe keep the explosive devices, in this event both individuals receive the same charges regardless of fault.

Reasonable storage of an explosive device is determined by security discretion but the following factors should be considered when determining what is reasonable.

Was the device in a locked container such as a secure locker, secure briefcase, safe, secure crate, or wall locker?

Was the device and potential containers holding it secured behind access locked doors?

Was the location of the device(s) kept discrete and related information on a need to know basis?

No department may receive permission nor contraband licensing to use or otherwise utilize Excelsior technology unless an exemption is given by the High Council itself.
** Soteria Science may be handed Excelsior tech as a means of destruction. Soteria Science may not preform experiments with Excelsior tech but they may use it in a destructive analyzer to be used in the production and research of non-Excelsior technology.
** Guild may be handed Excelsior tech to be deconstructed as a means of useful destruction of Excelsior branded technology. Guild may not use nor utilize Excelsior technology itself but they may break it down in either their department's industrial autolathe or through their department's nanoforge machine.
** Marshals may utilize their Nanite Reconstructor in the armory to break down Excelsior weapons or armor. However tech like Excelsior branded cells or computer-components will not be able to be broken down by said machine. Personnel must find an alternative for those deconstruction methods.

Failure to comply with an investigation of any crimes is not considered a “Good Samaritan” as it falls out of the category of a ‘reasonable person’.

Examples include pulling a gun to rescue a colonist from hostile lifeforms, breaking a department’s window to pull out a colonist, etc. A ‘Good Samaritan’ does not do such acts for financial compensation; any exchanging of goods for the service is no longer covered by such a modifier. Acts found to be without reason, or with flawed logic (I.e misinterpreting calls for help, ignorance of a situation or ‘over-escalation’ of a tense situation) do not count as reasonable actions and are thus not protected by this clause.
| Immediate Release, with all charges (barring that of Friendly Fire) being dropped against the individual.
|-
|'''Victim in a Willfully Dangerous Position'''
| For a victim to have willingly consented to put themselves into a dangerous situation such as volunteering in the name of science or to insert themselves into a dangerous situation that is not inherently suicidal.

When charging the offender the victims willingness to insert themselves into a dangerous situation should be taken into offense.

| Immediate release or 50% timer reduction on the offender.
|-
|'''Violation of Resident Privacy'''
| To be charged with evidence obtained via illegal means; such as through the use of thermal/X-ray vision, searches without a proper legal warrant or any other such violation of privacy.

Further examples include cases of trumped-up charges as an excuse for a search in hopes of finding contraband.
| All charged crimes or cases of contraband should be immediately dropped.

The arresting officer should be charged with Violation of Employee Rights for infractions on privacy.

|-
|'''Entrapment'''
| To be charged with a crime the offender was induced to commit by a fellow colonist and, without their help, either would not have or could not have committed.

Other forms of entrapment may vary; such as officers placing objects in public areas and waiting for them to be stolen or other colony residents operating similar traps.

| Charges should be either reduced by up to 50% on the offender or charges should be completely dropped.

In cases of security operated entrapment offenses the officers running the operation should be charged with Violation of Employee Rights.

|-
|'''Repeat Offender'''
| To be charged with the same crime/violation.

Examples include repeat offenses of vandalism, assault or contraband distribution.

| For each repeat offense the timer for the crime should be multiplied by 2. 20 minutes would become 40 minutes, etc. This also goes for fines. This only is applied for repeated crimes on the same shift.

Once a timer reaches 90 in the case of repeat crimes the offender should instead be held until shift transfer

|-
|'''Offense by Colony Command'''
|To be a member of the colony's command structure, including Steward and Premier, and to be convicted of any Moderate or high level charges.
|Immediate demotion, in addition to other penalties levied for the charge.

Note: A fax should immediately be sent to the High Council upon the offender’s demotion.
|-
|'''Immediate Threat or Severe Health Threat to the Prisoner'''
| To be arrested or in prison in the brig during an emergency which may negatively impact the offender’s health.
| The prisoner must be relocated to a safe location. In the case where a safe location cannot be found the offender must be immediately released.

If the prisoner is serving time until transfer or until judgement their charge must be reapplied after the emergency situation has ended.

|-
|'''Medical Treatment'''
| Any injured prisoner may have this modifier applied to them. Under SoP prisoners are allowed and should be provided medical attention if sick or injured.
| Medical personnel should be called to brig or the prisoner may be treated by an officer with proper knowledge in brig medbay.

In cases of needed surgery or serious injury medical staff must be called and the prisoner escorted to medbay to undergo treatment.

Brig timer is to be left running during this unless in the case of self-harm; in which the timer should be paused until the prisoner is escorted back to their cell.

|-
|'''Forced Labor'''
|To be a prisoner opting and consenting to do unpaid labor in return to lower their timer or repay their debts.
|The person holding the debt, such as a victim of theft, should determine the debt before the prisoner starts his forced labor sentence. Cargo scanners may also be used upon Lonestar’s consent to price the value of an object and repay the debt by turning in valuables equal to that of the debt.

A marshal or trooper should supervise the debtor if possible. If not the debtor may be charged with Resisting Arrest and placed back in brig until their debt can be paid as per Defaulting on a Debt charge.

|-
|'''Use of psionic powers'''
|To use psionic powers to commit a crime of any kind. Note, the person must use their powers in aid of a crime, not simply be a psion or capable of using psionic powers.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a psion used their powers to commit a crime, however, due to the nature of psionic powers being easy to remove, hard evidence is not required. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the psion would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their powers removed via cranial surgery. Use of sedatives to prevent active power use before surgery is suggested. A psion using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their psionic powers should be removed before being defibbed.

|-
|'''Conflicts with Lifeline Technicians'''
|To attempt to take a patient from a Lifeline Technician, whether by lawful and legal arrest or other reasons which then resulted in armed conflict.
|This situation involves anyone, including Marshals, attempting to take a patient from a Lifeline Technician and then being disabled by said Lifeline Technician or attacking them when they try to get their patient back. In this circumstance, an investigation should be had to ensure the Lifeline Technician followed all procedure involved. If they cannot be proven to have violated procedure, they cannot be charged for disabling someone attempting to take their patient. '''This includes Marshals, up to and including Warrant Officers, being disabled for attempting to take a patient.''' Investigating officers should consider charging those who come into conflict with Lifeline Technicians with appropriate fines.

|-
|'''Crime by AI/Cyborg'''
|For Colony AI or Cyborg to commit actions that are criminal in the eyes of the law.
|This refers to either the colony AI or the colony cyborgs. In the instance that they have committed a crime, Marshals are to operate as per normal. Soteria is to cooperate with the Marshals in regards of these matters, to see if the AI or Cyborg are malfunctioning before allowing them to be arrested. Cyborgs can have their MMIs removed and tossed into a cell to serve the appropriate amount of time, or Soteria can choose to pay for their fine. The same goes for the AI, however, a warrant is specifically required to enter its core, and Soteria personnel should accompany them to ensure matters are handled peacefully. Squads of Marshals or Shields should not be going into the core unless the AI in question is malfunctioning and/or hostile. Card the AI and toss it into the cell, much like the borgs. Once they have served their time, return them to their proper vessels. However, if it is found that these actions were done with bad evidence or in bad faith, the Marshals responsible will be charged with §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding), with possible demotion.

As a further note, the AI and Cyborgs cannot open high access areas unless in a state of emergency, for example, the Marshal, Blackshield, or Command armory. The only other time they can open such areas is to clear out infestations and nothing more.

|-
| '''Use of Genetic Enhancements'''
|To utilize any genetic enhancement to commit a crime of any kind. Note, in regards of some enhancements, the person must use them in aid of a crime, not simply be genetically enhanced or capable of using key genetic enhancements.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a genetically enhanced individual used their capabilities, unless said capabilities were passively running. However, due to the nature of genetic splicing being easy to remove with mutagenic purgers from Soteria, hard evidence is not required, albeit Soteria should have provided information that said individual was enhanced in a timely manner. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the individual would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their enhancements removed via mutagenic purger. A enhanced individual using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their genetic enhancements are to be removed immediately. Furthermore, the individual can be barred from Soteria genetics as a result of this modifier for the shift.

== Quick Reference Guide ==
This table is to describe crimes on a charge severity basis. In regards to crime stacking; crimes with the same ending numbers '''CAN NOT''' be stacked unless stated otherwise within the crimes description.

Examples include: You cannot charge someone with both 101 and 401; Vandalism and Sabotage. One cannot be charged with 104 and 204; Battery and Assault.

Proper charges, for example, would be as such: Offender charged with 108 for trespassing into a department, 105 for stealing an item from the department and 204 for attacking an employee trying to stop them non-violently.

If a colonist does not meet this requirement, Security personnel should interview the colonist and aid them in setting up required records, providing a format sheet for them to fill out and put on file.

If the colonist is not willing to file paperwork, they are to be released and High Council is to be notified. (Fax or A-help - records are a rule issue.) High Council will advise on actions to take, if any, regarding the issue.

An offender who actively lies about their implant status - such as not reporting their nanogate, psionic, or church implant within their records records is to receive a 303 charge.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

|-
| §202
|Obstruction of Duty
|To negatively interfere with the duties of the crew.
|Pushing a security officer trying to make an arrest, ignoring or ripping down caution tape, opening firelocks into a disaster area, dragging injured personnel away from doctors trying to treat them, or any other form of getting in the way; especially during an emergency.

|-
| §203
|Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding
|To arrest, brig, or punish an employee without proper cause or reason, or in violation of due process rights such as Habeas Corpus.

|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion at the decision of the WO.

|-
| §204
|Assault
|To cause physical harm or mild injury to another employee, or brandishing a deadly weapon with the intent of causing or threatening such an injury.
|Anything beyond a few punches like in '''Battery'''. It has to be bad enough that a few bandages or pills won't fix it. This also includes poisoning with drugs, or using hallucinogens. Use of non-lethal ammunition, or other less-than-lethal means, without just cause counts as assault.

See ‘’’Aggravated Assault’’’ if any lethal ammunition are used, or if the victim suffers a broken bone or notable life-threatening hospitalization. See '''Attempted Murder''' if the intent was to kill. See ‘’’Threat of Murder or Serious Injury``` as a secondary charge to any threats made while brandishing a weapon with a stated threat to murder.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes and the confiscation of contraband items.

|-
| §207
|Escaping from Confinement / Debt
|To escape from confinement as someone who was serving a non-life sentence or was awaiting judgement. This also applies to fleeing a forced labor contract.

|-
| §209
|Resisting Arrest or Sparking a Manhunt
|To not cooperate with an officer who attempts a proper arrest, or to cause a manhunt by hiding from security. Refusing a lawful search can also get you charged with 209.
|Refusing handcuffs is not resisting arrest. Refusing handcuffs and refusing to come to the brig is resisting arrest. So is pushing the officer trying to arrest you, or running away. Actively hiding or running away is what this law is for.

An officer should take into account their reason for not reporting to security immediately as well. For example, a guild master trying to stop the engine from exploding probably shouldn't be charged with resisting arrest if they ignore the fact that security wants to give them a vandalism fine for breaking a wall earlier.

Likewise, if anyone in security has threatened them with harm, not just arrest, they're somewhat justified in hiding.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

|-
| §210
|Excessive Use of Force
|To use more than the required force to subdue a suspect as a security member.
|Examples of this charge include using force against an unarmed and compliant suspect and usage of lethal weapons without there being imminent peril.

|Timer of no more than 30 minutes

Or a fine of no more than 2,000 credits paid to the victim.

|-
| §211
|Forgery
|To falsify official documents, records or orders.
|Examples of this crime include a fax to issue orders posing as the High Council or a superior, falsifying a medical prescription or falsifying ones records to pose as either more certified or to fake eligibility for job positions.
|Timer of no more than 15 minutes and an immediate search

Or a fine of up to 750 credits.

|-
| §212
|Disrespect of 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 repaired or cyborged also falls under this. Bodies rendered incapable of wound repair count as murder instead.
|Timer of no more than 20 minutes

Or a fine of no more than 1,250 credits.

|-
| §213
|Sexual Harassment
|To make unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks towards another employee or silicon units.
|This charge is for cases of unwanted sexual comments after the victim has requested they cease or are clearly uncomfortable and do not reciprocate.

For anything escalating from this, such as unwanted physical contact in a sexual manner, see '''Sexual Assault'''.
|Timer of no more than 10 minutes alongside a 250 credit fine.

Injunction of ‘no contact’ between the offender and victim should be placed.

|-
| §301
|Negligence
|To fail to perform a job to a satisfactory standard, or to create a dangerous situation without taking proper precautions.
|This can be due to honest, or dishonest mistakes. This is usually because someone ignored Standard Operating Procedure and an accident occurred because of that. This charge also applies to creating a hazardous area or otherwise introducing a hazard to an area without proper permission or precautions. For example: Putting excessive power into the grid and reasoning it's the crew's fault if they get shocked, and so on.

If someone is killed because of it, see '''Manslaughter'''.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §302
|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.
|While similar to '''Failure to Execute''' an Order this charge is applied if a member of the colony is injured via the refusal of an order or if notable damage to the colony is done via refusing to follow an order.

Examples are medical doctors ignoring the chief biolab overseer while patients are piling up in medbay, etc.

If the refusal to follow an order results in death, see '''Manslaughter'''.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §303
|Fraudulent, Excessive, Incorrect Charges or providing false testimony
|To punish a crew member in excess for their crime, to give a crew member incorrect punishment, or to give fraudulent charges that are not valid. This charge also includes false or misleading statements to charge someone with a crime.
|This includes stacking multiple charges for the same offense (i.e. being charged with theft 3 times for 3 items stolen from the same person, being charged multiple times with trespassing for each room unlawfully entered etc. etc.), providing false testimonies and statements during an investigation (intent does not matter here, if the investigator feels someone mislead them, they do not need to prove intent to do so).

This also applies to cases of planted evidence, confiscation of contraband if it is being used in a legal manner under the '''Contraband Policy''' or gross errors in sentencing or levied charges.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion for the rest of the work shift at the discretion of the WO.

|-
| §304
|Aggravated Assault
|To cause severe injury to another employee or colonist, typically requiring invasive surgery or resulting in life-threatening physical harm.
|This is in reference to any form of assault that causes shrapnel, broken bones, severe bleeding, or otherwise rendering a victim into a state of critical condition. Shrapnel left in one’s body may count if the rounds are not LTL rounds. For LTL round usage that do ‘not’ result in broken bones or cause a life threatening injury, but may still embed, see ```Assault```.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Any cost of medical treatment must be paid immediately to the victim by the offender. If the offender cannot afford the medical treatment cost, see ```Defaulting on Debt.```

|-
| §305
|Abuse of Confiscated Equipment
|To take and use equipment confiscated as evidence.
|Evidence such as even weapons should never be taken and used by security; even in cases of emergency.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion for the duration of the shift at the discretion of the WO.

|-
| §306
|Illegal Modification of AI/Cyborg
|To modify the laws of a cyborg or artificial intelligence, without need, proper access, or authority.
|An exception would be a law reset when obviously harmful laws have been uploaded. Only the council or two soteria overseers together can authorize a law change outside of this situation.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §307
|Illegal Blocking of Areas
|To make an area inaccessible for those with appropriate access.
|Bolting doors or departments in which the offender does not have access to, taping off areas larger than needed or sealing off doors longer than needed.

This does not apply to situations that are needed, such as Guild critical repairs, or within SoP.

|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §308
|Infiltration
|To attempt to, or successfully, enter a high-security area without authorization.
|Areas include the gatehouse, colony fence, bridge, head of staff room, virology, toxin storage or other essential high-security areas.

If trespass into the vault, armory or AI upload occurs see '''Grand Trespass'''.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

|-
| §309
|Organizing a Breakout
|To attempt, or succeed, in freeing criminals from the brig or other holding areas.
|This includes breaking windows, barriers or hacking through doors either to break out of prison or to help a prisoner escape.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

|-
| §310
|Severe Use of Excessive Force
|Critically injuring someone in defense of yourself or others while they no longer pose a threat, or seriously injuring a suspect while attempting to detain them.
|Severely injuring someone attacking you or others with no obvious threat to life, or panicking and shooting a suspect to near-death. Subjects who cannot be cuffed and have their legs broken as a result do not count if the subject refused to comply after 3 warnings and a witness is available to confirm each warning.
|Timer of no more than 40 minutes.

|-
| §311
|Breach of Salvage Rights
|To violate salvage rights by means of theft, 'claim jumping', or otherwise taking undue action against a rightful claimant.
|The consideration of the stolen item(s) value should be taken into account when issuing this charge. This charge may ```NOT``` be placed alongside any theft or grand-theft charges.
|Any stolen items should be returned to the proper salvage-claim holder. If the items are non-recoverable, or have been sold off, the offender is to repay that market-price of the stolen items to the victim. If the offender is not able to pay, apply specialty charge ```001 - Defaulting on Debt```.

A timer of no more than 20 minutes may be issued on the offender alongside a 250 credit fine.

|-
| §312
|Animal Cruelty
|To inflict unnecessary suffering or harm upon animals with malicious intent.
|Monkeys appropriately used for experiments or crew well-being (e.g genetics, virology, weapon testing, etc.) don't count. Shoving them in washing machines, or throwing them through disposals while still alive falls under this. Using them as food is a grey area; cows are generally fine, but monkey cubes and the like probably aren't.

Creatures typically considered pests (those that are by default hostile such as roaches or spiders) are not protected under this law if they aren't being kept in private areas such as personal dorms, or are fully tamed by a colonist. Tamed in this case means that they will not attack other colonists, or damage colony infrastructure.
|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

Fine may be issued to cover the animals treatment if still alive. If not a 750 credit fine may be levied on top of the brig timer.

If any named Colony Pet (Ian, Tea, Graves, Lisa, PunPun, and other pets that spawn in the colony with a roundstart name (this does not include ones made in-round unless specific by the High Council through fax/announcement) was targeted, it is an automatic 90 minute sentence.

|Sabotage
|To hinder the efforts of the crew or station with malicious intent.
|This includes causing breaches, sabotaging air supplies, stealing vital equipment, etc. The intent is probably the most important bit here.

If the act is to purposefully cause imminent peril or to aid a hostile faction see '''Terrorism'''.
|Timer of no more than 45 minutes

|-
| §403
|Exceeding Official Powers
|To act beyond what is allowed by the chain of command.
|This is for anyone who abuses the power given to them, such as the premier acting like a security officer in a non-emergency, the warrant officer acting as if he is above the law, etc. Heads of staff trying to order a different department or ignoring a council vote also comes under this, as does security staff attempting to give orders to non-security without legal justification.
|Timer of no more than 40 minutes.

Demotion at the behest of the department head.

If a head of staff is responsible for over reaching a fax should be sent to the High Council to investigate a possible demotion.

|This includes causing death due to negligence or dereliction of duty. Can also be used as punishment for excessive self-defense.
|Timer of no more than 50 minutes.

Tracking implant upon release at the discretion of the WO.

|-
| §405
|Grand Theft
|To steal items that are of a dangerous, of high value, or of sensitive nature.
|This means high-value weapons or explosives, and also includes items of singular importance such as the station blueprints, chief biolab overseers hypospray, or items not easily replaced / are not replicable.

Items from the church, such as cruciforms, circuits, and disks are sole property of the church, they may demand them back regardless of how the person in question obtained them. Failure to do so is considered grand theft and failure to execute a lawful order.

|Timer of no more than 45 minutes and confiscation of stolen items.

If items cannot be recovered the offender is forced to monetarily compensate for the loss.

|-
| §406
|Operating Excelsior Equipment

|To be in illegal possession of or to actively operate Excelsior equipment.
|This applies to Excelsior batteries, guns or armor. Their lack of safety features, shoddily made structure and use in operation can endanger oneself or other colonists.

The usage of Excelsior tech also is a tell-tale sign of an Excelsior agent or collaborator.

Permits may be written in specific instances by the Warrant Officer, Brigadier, or the provost Marshal to override this law.

'''See Contraband Policy'''
|Immediate medical examination and confiscation of equipment.

If Excelsior implant is found and removed the subject should be placed under psychiatric evaluation until deemed fit. If deemed fit the offender should be released.

If Excelsior equipment is operated or sold but no implant is found see '''Terrorism'''.

|-
| §410
|Mistreatment of Prisoners
|To intentionally act, or cause an act that puts a non-hostile prisoner's well-being in danger.

|A timer of no more than 90 minutes may be issued. If the victim dies as a means of this teleportation, see '''Murder''' or '''Manslaughter'''.

If the victim is hurt during the teleportation, or in result of it, see '''Assault'''.

The offender is to be demoted upon sentencing for the crime.

|Terrorism
|To engage in maliciously destructive actions, which seriously threaten the residents of the colony or even the colony's integrity as a whole.
|This includes deliberate arson, hostage taking, use of bombs, release of singularity, etc. In cases of terrorism, the provost marshal must be informed.
|Holding until Judgement.

Execution is encouraged; especially if deaths are caused by the action.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §502
|Mutiny
|To openly rebel against or attempt to remove command staff with violent intent to remove the command staff from power.
|One’s motive is important. If someone is just angry at a head of staff and murders them in a fit of rage, that's just regular murder. On the other hand, trying to take over the colony through violent means, lethal or not, is mutiny.
|Holding until Judgement.

Execution is an option.

|-
| §504
|Murder or Attempted Murder
|To willfully and intentionally kill or attempt to kill someone. To prevent a rightful revival or else render someone unrevivable through clear action.
|Clear intent is needed to prove a case of murder over manslaughter. While Manslaughter is unintentionally causing death through accident, or unintended consequences, Murder is a purposeful act with the intent to take the life of another.

Attempts to cover up an incident of Manslaughter may necessitate a charge of murder due to pre/post meditative evidence.
Additionally, should proof positive be obtained that indicates premeditation the penalty should be automatically adjusted to H.U.T and the low council should convene to determine if more extreme penalties are warranted, up to and including execution.

|If the victim is able to be revived a timer of no less than 90 minutes may be issued. The Council may meet to determine if this sentence be should be upgraded to HuT.

If the victim is deemed unable to be revived, such as through the destruction of a brain or body, execution may be issued at the behest of the Council.

Colony residents who commit murder '''should not be revived''' if they die unless stated otherwise by the Council.

|-
| §505
|Espionage
|To gain access to in-house or proprietary Designs, Documents, Programs, or otherwise vital assets of a Colony Faction or one of the Colony's allies.
|Whether by theft, trespass, or buying such items without the departmental head's explicitly written and shown permission.

Note that this does '''NOT''' include stealing items themselves, such as constructed Guild items or items purchased through the Lonestar Trade System -- only the theft of the program itself or the designs to make more of the Guild's items, or otherwise.

|Hold until Transfer. The stolen proprietary assets should be returned to the faction or ally they were stolen from immediately unless they are directly required to be used as evidence in a tribunal. Any items gathered or created with the proprietary assets should be given to the faction or ally as well.

|-
| §508
|Grand Trespass
|To trespass into an area of high security such as an AI upload or the Marshal armory without any reason to be there; especially when a head of staff or personnel with access to said area is present.
|This does not apply to emergency situations in which a staff member may not be active. In rare cases, such as a code red incident, it may be required that staff without access enter secure areas. This requires '''proper reasoning''' such as a case of imminent threat to the colony itself or it’s inheritance; such as from a rogue AI or hostile invasion.
|Holding until Transfer.

|-
| §509
|Escaping from HuT Sentence
|To attempt or successfully escape from the brig or other holding area when serving a holding until transfer sentence.
|The offender must have been properly judged by tribunal for holding until transfer to be legally issued.
|Execution.

A tribunal is not required under this circumstance, and is the only case where this is currently so.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §510
|Wrongful Execution
|To execute a crew member who later turned out to be innocent.
|This only counts when a tribunal was held and the order was given to execute someone based on faulty or poor evidence that is later debunked by additional evidence. If the tribunal process is skipped, or is carried out incorrectly such as having no premier sign off, then murder is added to the charges.

The warrant officer is punished and any individuals who deliberately produced false evidence are charged with '''Murder'''. Those who unintentionally provided incorrect evidence are charged with '''Manslaughter''' and '''Negligence'''.

It is also required to contact provost marshal Boris Kilmeade if this happens.

|Immediate demotion, suspension from command for a time determined by the High Council and holding until transfer.

Provost Marshal Boris Kilmeade may overrule or specify specifics to this punishment/timer.

|-
| §512
|Slavery
|To force someone to work for no payment through force, threats or purposefully neglecting to pay them. To abuse someone and hold them against their will is also applicable; see §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding).
|This charge does not apply to the modifier '''Forced Labor''' unless it extends over 2 hours or is otherwise stated.

It is very possible that other charges may apply as the person might have been abused in some way or held against their will as well as robbed of their personal belongings. Make sure to charge the individual with all crimes committed.

|Timer of up to 60 minutes may be issued or, in cases where other crimes put the timer over 90 minutes, HuT may be issued.

|-
| §513
|Sexual Assault
|To assault, or attempt to assault, someone else sexually, including rape.
|This charge exists as a means to handle non-con scenes ICly, such as but not limited to: A player OOCly not consenting to a scene and reporting it. '''A-help staff when dealing with these charges.'''
|Permanent removal from the colony or execution.
|}

== Commentaries and Clarifications ==
* '''Common Areas''': Generally understood to be publicly accessible areas of the colony that are owned and maintained by the colony rather than as part of an individual department.
* '''Lethal Firearm''': A gun loaded or set to a fire mode that's main purpose is to inflict damage to put someone into a critical conduction and or kill. Rubbers when shot out of a gun that has mods to inflict additional damage onto the bullet itself automatically count as lethal.
* '''Cyborgification''' The removal of a person's brain for transplanting into a Cyborg Chassis as an alternative to execution. A prisoner who is sentenced to execution must request or consent to this.
* '''Dismissal''': Changing ID title to "Dismissed", which has zero access. Requires the judgement of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Demotion''': Can be demoted down to and including Assistant position. Requires the judgment of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Employee''': Employee of the colony, as defined by the colonies commanding officers. All non-employee subjects are not protected by these laws.
* '''Empowering''': Illegal acquiring (not via Head of Personnel or Colony Director) of access.
* '''Execution''': Prisoner is killed via means of firing squad, lethal injection, or other means. It is required for the premier to be present or an execution may not proceed. It is required to offer the prisoner the option of how they prefer to die. They should also be offered a last meal. It is not required to follow these preferences if they are deemed unreasonable or impossible. In all cases of execution, respective faction owners should be informed of the execution and the crimes leading up to it. (( A PK may be applicable in this situation. See [[Permanent Death]] for OOC details. ))
* '''Head of Staff''': Crew members occupying one of the following positions: Premier, Guild Master, Blackshield Commander, Warrant Officer, Chief Biolab Overseer, Chief Research Overseer, Chief Executive Officer.
* '''Imminent Peril''': A situation in which there is an apparent and immediate threat of serious injury or death, and it is not possible to escape this threat. Obvious examples are shooting someone trying to stab people. A less obvious example is shooting someone trying to sabotage Atmospherics. Lethal force is justified in such a situation because there's no other options remaining.
* '''HuJ / Holding Until Judgement''': Held (in the brig) until a tribunal is done, or the shift ends. Whichever happens first.
* '''HuT / Holding Until Transfer''': Held (in the brig) until the shift ends. This becomes HuJ when a tribunal is being held for the prisoner.
* '''Severe Injury''': A state in which the victim is in a critical condition and is having difficulty maintaining consciousness.

Demotion and dismissal also require the removal of equipment from the previous job. Uniforms, weapons, bombs, PDA cartridges, etc.

For the purposes of Cyborg/AI laws, crew members that have been convicted, or are being held in detention, are considered to be below even the AI/Cyborgs in terms of rank.

Serving sentences in jail can be replaced with forced labor in some cases.

In cases where the final sentence is more than 90 minutes, it is changed to holding until judgment.

The standard penalty can be applied without a tribunal by Security Officers. Tribunals can assign lesser or higher ones, depending on the circumstances.

== OOC Notes ==
* It's vital to know that the involvement of faction owners means involvement of admins. However, if that happens, admins will try to keep in character. Ergo, the character is '''not''' going to magically know attack logs or fingerprints or anything else they don't know IC, because it's like playing a game with cheat codes. It's fun to screw off for a little while, but then it's going to get really boring.
** The above also applies in the case of admins playing normal security.
** The only exception to the above is in the case of potentially removing a character from the station. See [[Permanent Death]] for details. Admins are not going to PK someone who they know OOCly didn't actually do the crime. If you are guilty though an a execution happens, the chance of permanent removal is extremely high. Contact an admin to find out if an executed character has been removed forever.
* '''Laws ARE NOT RULES for the server itself!''' That means, so long as you have a believable in-character motive for breaking these regulations, you won't get banned for it, especially if good roleplay is your end goal. Conversely, if you're just going around smashing windows for shits and giggles, you're ''obviously'' going to get yelled at by an admin. See [[Rules|the actual server rules]] for more details.

Laws

2023-02-20T22:25:53Z

Rebel0: Addition of 005 - Lack of Records. Removal of 411 - Lack of Records.

The colony laws are a series of regulations that all interest groups on the High Council have agreed to, applying them broadly to all colonists inside the colony. The colony’s Marshals are expected to uphold and enforce these laws, and all departments are expected to follow them. This is not a general guide to security. All new marshals should review the official [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]]. It is important to know that all offenses listed below should be followed as a ‘guideline’ by law enforcement personnel and do allow for victim rights and alternative solutions to minor offenses. For example, you are not required to give a sentence if the problem can be resolved in an alternative way that the suspect agrees to, such as an agreement with the victim in return for not pressing charges, or peer mediation. To understand how to go about a proper arrest, or other clarifications such as prisoner rights, alert levels, and more, see [[Standard Operating Procedure]]. Note that Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is enforced via the head of staff. To be charged with a violation of SOP, a head of staff has to request a relevant charge be levied, such as denial of a reasonable order.

'''Law's protections, and rights only apply to colonists and colony allies. Visitors, outsiders, and groups unconnected to the colony have no rights and therefore no protections under the law.'''

== Interpretation of the Law ==
'''<big>All colony law is subject to the standard of INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. No one is to ever be assumed guilty, evidence must be presented that reasonably proves guilt.</big>'''

A good working knowledge of the law is important for any person on the station. It can be the difference between a shiny pair of handcuffs and sipping drinks in the bar. More in-depth interpretations of the law are required for such positions as the ranger, officer, premier, and the warrant officer. For certain crimes, the accused party's intent is important. Intent can be the difference between a charge such as, say, manslaughter and murder. One requires purposeful intent, the other is unintentional and typically caused by negligence or workplace accident. It is also important to note that manslaughter and murder are mutually exclusive. This indicates that an individual must be charged with one or the other, not both. Neither could someone be charged with both assault and murder on an individual if there is only a single victim, the higher-grade charge must be the charge applied in that case.

All of this will be explained in detail as you read on, including specialty clauses, cases, guides, and explanations to how a Marshal or servant of the law should think when interpreting legal issues such as criminal acts or disputes.

Here are a few basic to-know bullet points for officers:
* '''To ensure you, as an arresting officer, don't fall into the trap of negligence or misuse of power, always follow procedure where possible as detailed by [[Standard_Operating_Procedure#Marshals|standard operating procedure]].'''
* As an arresting officer, follow the [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]] to ensure you don't fall foul of legal proceedings.
* In the case of pressed charges being in the same category (i.e Battery, Assault, Murder - or Vandalism, Theft, Grand Theft) take only the most severe charge. Any lesser charges in this case should not be applied.
* A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took 3 items off someone, this is a single count of theft. Otherwise this would count as 'crime-stacking', which is against SOP and law.
* When deciding on a timer for multiple crimes committed, take each crime into consideration separately. Then add the times together to get a final concise timer. This should be the timer issued to an offender when they are put in a cell.
* '''The time taken to bring in an offender and the time taken when questioning the offender are NOT to be calculated into their issued timer.''' Timers begin when plugged in on a cell's console. However, offenders should be processed as quick as reasonably possible as-per their rights as employees within the colony.

=== Victim Rights ===

'''A victim holds the right to drop charges if the listed charge allows it.''' This would apply to charges such as: Assault, Theft, Trespass, or other 100 to 200-tier offenses. Victims may also collect monetary value equal to their losses from the offender in question, such as any incurring medical bills or loss of property. Both of these clauses are there to allow a victim peace of mind and to make sound decisions rather than being forced into court cases.

There are some exemptions, however. Such as in the case of any 'red paragraph crime', such as those equal to a 400-level “Exceptional” charge or a 500-level “Capital” charge. These charges include crimes such as attempted murder, manslaughter, grand theft, or the like and may '''not''' be dropped at any time by a victim. The reason being that these criminal acts extend further than creating a victim, but also threatening the lives of others. Officers 'may' take into account an offender’s circumstances and a victim's testimonial when deciding intent and timers but no dropping of charges may occur.

=== Fines & Timers ===

Some crimes may offer either a fine or a timer, or in some cases, 'both' a fine and a timer together. It is ultimately at the discretion of the arresting officer and/or the warrant-filer what the punishment for an offense should be.

Fines are ultimately recommended for most low-level crimes, if they are listed under the ‘timer’ section of the quick reference guide. If, however, an offender is non-cooperative, a repeat offender, or otherwise hindering an investigation a timer should be issued instead. Fines are to be paid to the Marshal department directly, while any compensation, such as to damaged property or medical fees, should be directed to the victim and/or the victim department.

Timers are to be decided by the senior authority, typically either a ranger or warrant officer. If in the case where neither are available then the arresting officer may decide. Timers should not exceed a maximum time allocated to the charge '''unless''' modifiers are added on; such as a repeat offender who would receive double the time. Timers 'may' be less than the allocated maximum time depending on circumstances and modifiers that would normally subtract time from one’s sentence, such as cooperation with security personnel or in cases of entrapment.

== Heads of Staff & Lower Council Law ==

'''Heads of staff are not above the law, and can be arrested by the marshals for breaking it.''' The 'only' time that the law can be overridden is when there is an imminent and overwhelming threat to the colony, such as during a Code Delta scenario.

'''A determination of no-wrongdoing may result in the dismissal of charges levied or a negating of any brig time served.''' Determinations of no-wrongdoing must be done by a Warrant Officer after an investigation, which must be faxed to the Office of the Provost Marshal, the Provost Marshal himself, or the colonies High Council. Any Warrant Officer found to abuse their authority to declare improper cases of no-wrongdoing may be demoted and arrested for exceeding their official power alongside other charges, such as falsifying information or providing false testimony.

A vote held by the Lower Council may also be used to indite some charges, such as abuse of power or charges related to disrupting the Low Council. Any crime that requires judgement, such as crimes labeled as 'HuJ' / Hold until Judgement, should be decided on in a timely manner by the Lower Council through a tribunal. A tribunal '''must''' follow the Legal Standard Operating Procedure to be considered legal. A tribunal must properly vote and may only be overturned by the High Council itself. It is ultimately up to the Lower Council if they wish for a proper legal court trial or to operate as they would a normal meeting, but one of the two options must be used.

The Low Council may opt to give timers over the normal-maximum, set specialty timers, or issue specific parole conditions via tribunal and deliberation if desired. These rulings may be overturned by the High Council if its conditions are found to be unreasonable or a violation of employee rights.

=== Legal Standard Operating Procedure ===

Tribunals are the main way major decisions are made aboard the station and the defendant does not have to be involved. There is not specified length for how long a tribunal must be. Basically it's the same as the old trial, but without a jury and slightly streamlined. An AI may fill in for a premier for tribunals and can be trusted to be accurate, however, an AI may not replace a premier for the purpose of voting for execution.

* '''Purpose:''' For crimes or decisions that require more than one person, or crimes where there is no set punishment.

* '''Overview:''' A minimum of three heads of staff must discuss this issue and vote on the outcome with a premier (or AI substitute) over seeing the tribunal.

* '''Process:''' The premier (or stand-in AI) should call the heads of staff for a tribunal with the situation and proposed outcome. This can be done formally in a meeting room, or informally over radio.

* '''Conviction:''' The tribunal must vote on the outcome, and the outcome must win by a majority vote (over 50%). If there is a tie, the premier's vote wins. For an execution to take place, the vote must be unanimous.

* '''Sentencing:''' If the vote passes, the outcome may be enacted, usually by the marshals. The decision can be appealed once by either the defendant or a volunteer.

==Salvaging Rights==

These laws will attempt to make clear what is, and is not salvage. Who has rights over what claims, the proper handling of claims and so fourth. These laws MUST be enforced by Nadezhda Marshals, or Blackshield, depending on the jurisdiction of the 'claim' and apply to all colonists of the Nadezdha Colony as well as Colony Allies and 'Neutral' third parties.
Basic salvage rights entail only the following caveats;
* Trash piles, unclaimed and clearly unowned items and storage containers are the rightful property of the 'first claimant'. A trash pile belongs to the first person to touch it, an abandoned locker to the first one to reach it, et cetera.
* Clearly owned property must be respected. A labeled cart, a gun who's serial is registered and thus known - these are considered personal property, and must be respected.
Additionally the following rules apply to all 'claims'
* If an item is stolen and then rediscovered in an area that would normally count as right-to-loot then it must be returned as it is their rightful property.
* Crime scenes. Any item taken from a crime scene is chargeable by theft, obstruction of duty, and suspicious conduct. A crime scene's boundaries will be clearly marked by tape set up by Marshals or Blackshield.
* Items dropped by colonists or allies due to severe injuries are their rightful property, and MUST be returned.
* The areas owned by colony allies or factions (such as Voidwolf ally Ships or the Soteria Solar Outpost), and clearly defined departmental zones are barred from allowing salvage claims.

===Types of Salvage Claims===
In summary, there are four types of salvage areas. Claimed, Unclaimed, disputed and free

*Claimed areas are those within colony borders(or the borders of colony allies) that have a lawful mandate placed over them, determined typically by the High Council, or at times low council. These locations are the claim-right of a particular faction, ally, et cetera. The FULL contents of these areas is the rightful claim of their respective owners, and any contents taken are effectively treated as their 'rightful property'. Though mere presence on a claim is not generally sufficient to result in charges, the removal of property from them(I.E scavving) is cause for charges of trespass, theft, and grand theft. Additionally, a modifier "Breach of salvage rights" should be applied to each of these charges and any items taken returned or, if not possible - their value owed in remediation.

*Unclaimed areas, while still within colony property, have no rightful claim placed on them, such claims may be enacted at the discretion of the High council, foreman and low council(in that order of importance), having to be properly ratified and faxed to be valid.

*Uncontested areas are new zones or uncertain zones that have no current claims. While they may be within the borders of the Colony or its Allies, they are generally free to loot so long as general scavenging rules are observed. Conflicts, theft and similar SHALL be punished by law.

*Free areas are neither within colony territory nor hold any special claim. These areas are typically considered 'free' of salvage rights and include but are not limited to; the untamed wilds past the colony border and space(and areas located within that do not fall under the purview of the previous types of claims).

===Known claims and their status===
*The Nadezdha colony maintains that the areas in its immediate vicinity, as well as the jungle directly south and the crater directly west are 'colony property' and not subject to claims by non-colony forces.

*Colony maintenance is 'unclaimed', thus only basic salvage rights must be respected.

*The Prospectors hold exclusive claims over the following areas; Greyson Positronics field offices and attached locations, this include the Greyson Positronics Gantlet. 'Preppers' bunker. 'Ironhead compound' Smuggler base. 'Zoo' research facility.

*The 'Scrap haven' is, as of now, a shared claim between the Prospectors and Hunters lodge - However, the Hunters Lodge has abdicated any right to lease their hold on the claim.

*The hunters Lodge holds exclusive claim over the following areas; The lodge itself and land upon which it sits, and the plains in the immediate vicinity of their lodge

*The 'Salvage Fields' are 'free' claims, though basic salvage rights should be respected.

*The assorted, smaller 'Points of Interest' in the immediate vicinity of the colony are 'uncontested'(E.G, scorched outpost, lost outpost, etc).

===Enforcement of Claims and Jurisdiction.===
As previously stated, it is the duty of Marshals and Blackshield to enforce salvaging rights - though they may vary on where their areas of jurisdiction come into play. 
Blackshield are largely expected to handle matters of salvage disputes where exterior forces threaten Nadezdha Colony(or upon request, colony allies) claims. Exterior factions attempted to jump claims owned by Prospectors should result in their dispatching. 
Marshals however are granted jurisdiction over legal matters of enforcement. Colonists jumping claims that are rightfully held should be charged accounting for the details of the matter. 
In the event where jurisdiction may be at question, it is important to remember that while the blackshield holds legal jurisdiction outside the perimeter fence - they are typically less oriented in the minutiae of law, and should they have to step in to enforce claims upon colonists past the walls they must hand over said colonists on return for processing by Marshals. 

===Additional Caveats===
*Salvage rights may, at the determination of their holder - be granted or leased. E.G, The Prospectors may, at the determination of the Foreman or Overboss Hogg grant rights over claims to other factions, allies, etc.
*The leasing of scav-rights by Foremen must, by order of Overboss Hogg be both A. reported to his office and either a cut of the total salvage or trade of 'equal value' taken. The Overboss adds that the job of prospectors is not to make friends, but to make money and that failure to properly extract value from such deals will result in consequences
*Though it is held that claimants have the right to defend their stake(with force if necessary) it is expected that Claimants use reasoned force in such and that the holding of such stakes be clearly communicated. E.G; A neutral party trespasses on a Colony claim, prospectors must clearly communicate that such a claim exists and offer opportunity for the claim-juimpers to return the stolen salvage and leave before force is used.
*Lonestar's disposal and recycling room. Lonestar shares the rights with the Church to this area but the church may not take any form of materials or items except items containing significant bio-matter (ex. animal meat, bio sheets, food, clothing, etc. etc.). Neither faction may order the other to leave under any circumstance, this location is considered jointly controlled and should not be modified without approval of the prime and CEO.

=== Minor Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Thermals are considered contraband for all departments. Thermals are however permitted outside the colony or during a declared red alert level. This goes for the augmentations, glasses, helmets or rig-suit modules. The following items are considered thermals: Augmented shades, Thermo-nightvision helmets, Thermal goggles, Thermal augmentations and bioaugmentations. Along with any hardsuit modules that contain thermals.
** If either Church or Soteria provide to a colonist thermals illegally they are to be charged for minor contraband. If a Soteria staff continues to do so repeatedly, then they are to be demoted immediately. Heads of staff in Soteria or the Church continuing are to be detained, charged with abusing their executive powers, and demoted after a fax has been sent up to the faction leader.
** Permits can temporarily be issued by a Warrant Officer for their usage or transportation through the colony. Any surgical implantation of thermal augments by Soteria requires a properly written form signed by both the doctor and the Warrant Officer permitting such augments be used under Soteria's supervision.
* The shooting range is considered a testing zone for science. Items sent from science to the range for testing must be announced over general comms. In the instance of Soteria testing explosives up at the shooting range, it must be a device capable of small explosives only. Larger explosions are to be tested out in the mines.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered minor contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* All encryption keys that are not supplied to a colonists workplace are considered minor contraband. If sensitive or private information is gained through the use of encryption keys that a colonist should not have access to they should also be charged with violation of employee privacy. This is applied even if it was not the intent of the person using the encryption key. Legal access to an encryption key can be given by any employee of the faction or head of staff, but the head of staff reserves the right to remove any access to any non-employee at any time for any reason. Please note that allies and neutral factions may have their own encryption keys - these are not illegal and should never be taken away.
* ID cards that are modified to give access to a normal departmental area of the colony without head departmental permissions are considered contrband. If, however, this access is issued either by a relevant head of staff or during the case of an emergency no timer or charge should apply. Legal access may be given by a head of staff to their department to another employee at anytime but may also be revoked at any time at the discression of the issuing head of department.
* Any weapons confiscated as in violation of the colony's 'Long Arm Policy' are considered contraband items. They are to be logged and placed into storage effective immediately in accordance with SOP.

|}

=== Major Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Soteria may test combat mechs at a firing range or outside the colony but '''must''' announce any and all movements of where the mech will be moving. Including the starting point to the desired ending point of the travel. These mechs may '''not''' be left in public spaces or otherwise operated, apart from moving through, public spaces unless exemptions are provided in the case of an emergency by security personnel.
** Permits for a combat mech may be temporarily issued by a Warrant Officer to non-Soteria personnel. The [[Example_Paperwork#Item_Application|proper forms]] should be filled out and the mech either housed inside of the employee's designated department or within Soteria's mech bay when not being used. Transporting any combat mech of any kind must be announced over public comms and cannot be driven freely across the colony. This policy and associated paperwork applies to any mech, including those obtained through salvage.
** Non-standard combat mechs / Non-combat mechs rigged for combat are not legal to own nor may receive licenses for normal usage. However, during Code Red or Code Delta emergencies they may be utilized by security personnel or otherwise permitted to be used by personnel determined to be fit and trust worthy by security personnel. All jury rigged weapons should be removed after the state of emergency without exception.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered major contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* Bluespace harpoons, and other teleportation items, may be used for research purposes by Soteria institute personnel. However, this does not mean they can be transported openly nor used or otherwise utilized outside of Soteria research departmental grounds. If transported outside of the department major contraband charges are applicable. If misused to teleport and employee unwillingly, as teleportation can be incredibly dangerous if not life threatening, see §413 - Unwilling Teleportation.

==== Explosive Exemptions ====
Contraband explosives are considered, but not limited to: any device presently capable of causing wide-spread and reasonably uncontrolled damage. This includes, but is not limited to, frag grenades, incendiary grenades, EMP grenades, tank transfer bombs, explosives grenades, incendiary grenades, land mines, and other similar objects capable of replicating any of the listed items effects. Items such as non-explosive flashbangs, smoke grenades, or cleaning grenades are not considered explosives. An oxygen tank, transfer valve, plasma tank, or scrap rifle with its safety measures enable would not count individually as explosives, only if the devices were within reasonable proximity and had steps taken to allow them to be used as explosives. I.E. a scrap rifle with its safety systems off is contraband, a persons bag containing heated plasma tanks, oxygen tanks, and transfer valves would be reasonably considered an explosive object. This exception only applies if the objects are, viably, capable of causing an explosion, if the plasma tank and oxygen tanks are empty and cannot explode it would not be considered contraband. Best and reasonable judgment applies.

Exceptions to the above clause may only be found in four cases:

1. The Marshals and Blackshield may use whatever explosives they require to perform their duties during a code blue or higher scenario. Responsibility for all damage to persons or property are the sole responsibility of the individual using the explosive devices. Low-yield grenades and small-arms explosive ordinance, such as grenade launcher rounds, may be tested at Marshal or Blackshield ranges with proper notification that explosives will be fired at the specified range.

2. Soteria Research may use any manner of explosives in the pursuit of research, the determination of what is considered ‘research’ is left to the sole discretion of the chief research overseer or, in the event one is not present, the biolab overseer. If neither is present, a low council vote is required to determine if the pursuit of research is considered scientific.

3. Prospectors may carry and use explosives outside colony walls at their discretion, provided the explosive do not damage colony property or other persons from the colony or colony allies. Prospectors must hold all explosives within their department or with security in either the gate house or armory. The transportation of explosives should always be announced publicly, similar to the transport of rifle class firearms.
In the event a prospectors wishes to sell explosive devices, be it to Soteria or Lonestar, this must be done with a member of the blackshield or marshal present and in the lobby of the respective department. In this scenario the explosive(s) must be stored in the buying department immediately. A form and record of the transaction should be recorded by security and filed with the WO, premier, sergeant, commander, and supply specialist.

4. Permits '''may''' be written for temporary explosive usage within determined location at the descression of the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist. Examples would be the allowance of Lonestar mining personnel to make use of small-yield explosive devices in mining operations, or temporary permits for Church for the transport of grenades for use in Deep Maintenance.

Failure to comply with the above section can and will result in the applicable charges and fines as expected by discretion of security personnel. This may include, but is not directly required to, charges of major contraband or negligence. In the event the explosive device is misused this may be upgraded to additional charges of terrorism, manslaughter, or murder. Improperly stored explosives that are stolen may confer charges both to the individual who stole and misused them and the individual who failed to properly safe keep the explosive devices, in this event both individuals receive the same charges regardless of fault.

Reasonable storage of an explosive device is determined by security discretion but the following factors should be considered when determining what is reasonable.

Was the device in a locked container such as a secure locker, secure briefcase, safe, secure crate, or wall locker?

Was the device and potential containers holding it secured behind access locked doors?

Was the location of the device(s) kept discrete and related information on a need to know basis?

All Excelsior-branded technology should either be put into evidence by the Marshal department, if it is used in the conduction of a crime, or destroyed. No department may receive permission nor contraband licensing to use or otherwise utilize Excelsior technology unless an exemption is given by the High Council itself.
** Soteria Science may be handed Excelsior tech as a means of destruction. Soteria Science may not preform experiments with Excelsior tech but they may use it in a destructive analyzer to be used in the production and research of non-Excelsior technology.
** Guild may be handed Excelsior tech to be deconstructed as a means of useful destruction of Excelsior branded technology. Guild may not use nor utilize Excelsior technology itself but they may break it down in either their department's industrial autolathe or through their department's nanoforge machine.
** Marshals may utilize their Nanite Reconstructor in the armory to break down Excelsior weapons or armor. However tech like Excelsior branded cells or computer-components will not be able to be broken down by said machine. Personnel must find an alternative for those deconstruction methods.

== Modifiers & Special Situations ==
These may reduce or increase your sentence depending on circumstances relating to the crimes committed.
{| style="text-align:center; background-color:#aaffaa;" width="950px" border="1" cellspacing="0"
! style="background-color:#55ff55; width=100px" |Modifier
! style="background-color:#55ff55;" |Description
! style="background-color:#55ff55;" |Effect
|-
|'''Cooperation with Prosecution or Security'''
| To aid members of colony security, reveal evidence willingly during processing and/or provide names of accomplices involved in the charged offense.
| 25% to 50% timer reduction.
|-
|'''Surrender'''
| To willingly surrender oneself to security staff; either by the means of bringing oneself to the brig or, in a hostile situation, laying down arms and following direct orders.
| 25% to 50% timer reduction.

Execution may not be issued to those who have surrendered. Crimes worth of Holding until Transfer may be overturned at WO discretion.

|-
|'''Self Defense'''
| To have acted in the defense of oneself; ranging from physical injury of the attacker to death of the attacking party.

For this modifier to apply the party MUST have acted in defense; they are not required to retreat if there is credible threat that the attacking party may harm them or others.

The weapon used and lethality of used ammunition or weapon should be taken into account by the arresting officers to determine this modifier.
| Immediate Release.
|-
|'''Good Samaritan Clause'''
|To act in what one, or any other reasonable person, would believe is in good faith and with due caution and regards for the safety of others. Including in the defense of a person’s life or to act if another person is in imminent threat of serious injury and/or death. Failure to comply with an investigation of any crimes is not considered a “Good Samaritan” as it falls out of the category of a ‘reasonable person’.

Examples include pulling a gun to rescue a colonist from hostile lifeforms, breaking a department’s window to pull out a colonist, etc. A ‘Good Samaritan’ does not do such acts for financial compensation; any exchanging of goods for the service is no longer covered by such a modifier. Acts found to be without reason, or with flawed logic (I.e misinterpreting calls for help, ignorance of a situation or ‘over-escalation’ of a tense situation) do not count as reasonable actions and are thus not protected by this clause.
| Immediate Release, with all charges (barring that of Friendly Fire) being dropped against the individual.
|-
|'''Victim in a Willfully Dangerous Position'''
| For a victim to have willingly consented to put themselves into a dangerous situation such as volunteering in the name of science or to insert themselves into a dangerous situation that is not inherently suicidal.

When charging the offender the victims willingness to insert themselves into a dangerous situation should be taken into offense.

| Immediate release or 50% timer reduction on the offender.
|-
|'''Violation of Resident Privacy'''
| To be charged with evidence obtained via illegal means; such as through the use of thermal/X-ray vision, searches without a proper legal warrant or any other such violation of privacy.

Further examples include cases of trumped-up charges as an excuse for a search in hopes of finding contraband.
| All charged crimes or cases of contraband should be immediately dropped.

The arresting officer should be charged with Violation of Employee Rights for infractions on privacy.

|-
|'''Entrapment'''
| To be charged with a crime the offender was induced to commit by a fellow colonist and, without their help, either would not have or could not have committed.

Other forms of entrapment may vary; such as officers placing objects in public areas and waiting for them to be stolen or other colony residents operating similar traps.

| Charges should be either reduced by up to 50% on the offender or charges should be completely dropped.

In cases of security operated entrapment offenses the officers running the operation should be charged with Violation of Employee Rights.

|-
|'''Repeat Offender'''
| To be charged with the same crime/violation.

Examples include repeat offenses of vandalism, assault or contraband distribution.

| For each repeat offense the timer for the crime should be multiplied by 2. 20 minutes would become 40 minutes, etc. This also goes for fines. This only is applied for repeated crimes on the same shift.

Once a timer reaches 90 in the case of repeat crimes the offender should instead be held until shift transfer

|-
|'''Offense by Colony Command'''
|To be a member of the colony's command structure, including Steward and Premier, and to be convicted of any Moderate or high level charges.
|Immediate demotion, in addition to other penalties levied for the charge.

Note: A fax should immediately be sent to the High Council upon the offender’s demotion.
|-
|'''Immediate Threat or Severe Health Threat to the Prisoner'''
| To be arrested or in prison in the brig during an emergency which may negatively impact the offender’s health.
| The prisoner must be relocated to a safe location. In the case where a safe location cannot be found the offender must be immediately released.

If the prisoner is serving time until transfer or until judgement their charge must be reapplied after the emergency situation has ended.

|-
|'''Medical Treatment'''
| Any injured prisoner may have this modifier applied to them. Under SoP prisoners are allowed and should be provided medical attention if sick or injured.
| Medical personnel should be called to brig or the prisoner may be treated by an officer with proper knowledge in brig medbay.

In cases of needed surgery or serious injury medical staff must be called and the prisoner escorted to medbay to undergo treatment.

Brig timer is to be left running during this unless in the case of self-harm; in which the timer should be paused until the prisoner is escorted back to their cell.

|-
|'''Forced Labor'''
|To be a prisoner opting and consenting to do unpaid labor in return to lower their timer or repay their debts.
|The person holding the debt, such as a victim of theft, should determine the debt before the prisoner starts his forced labor sentence. Cargo scanners may also be used upon Lonestar’s consent to price the value of an object and repay the debt by turning in valuables equal to that of the debt.

A marshal or trooper should supervise the debtor if possible. If not the debtor may be charged with Resisting Arrest and placed back in brig until their debt can be paid as per Defaulting on a Debt charge.

|-
|'''Use of psionic powers'''
|To use psionic powers to commit a crime of any kind. Note, the person must use their powers in aid of a crime, not simply be a psion or capable of using psionic powers.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a psion used their powers to commit a crime, however, due to the nature of psionic powers being easy to remove, hard evidence is not required. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the psion would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their powers removed via cranial surgery. Use of sedatives to prevent active power use before surgery is suggested. A psion using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their psionic powers should be removed before being defibbed.

|-
|'''Conflicts with Lifeline Technicians'''
|To attempt to take a patient from a Lifeline Technician, whether by lawful and legal arrest or other reasons which then resulted in armed conflict.
|This situation involves anyone, including Marshals, attempting to take a patient from a Lifeline Technician and then being disabled by said Lifeline Technician or attacking them when they try to get their patient back. In this circumstance, an investigation should be had to ensure the Lifeline Technician followed all procedure involved. If they cannot be proven to have violated procedure, they cannot be charged for disabling someone attempting to take their patient. '''This includes Marshals, up to and including Warrant Officers, being disabled for attempting to take a patient.''' Investigating officers should consider charging those who come into conflict with Lifeline Technicians with appropriate fines.

|-
|'''Crime by AI/Cyborg'''
|For Colony AI or Cyborg to commit actions that are criminal in the eyes of the law.
|This refers to either the colony AI or the colony cyborgs. In the instance that they have committed a crime, Marshals are to operate as per normal. Soteria is to cooperate with the Marshals in regards of these matters, to see if the AI or Cyborg are malfunctioning before allowing them to be arrested. Cyborgs can have their MMIs removed and tossed into a cell to serve the appropriate amount of time, or Soteria can choose to pay for their fine. The same goes for the AI, however, a warrant is specifically required to enter its core, and Soteria personnel should accompany them to ensure matters are handled peacefully. Squads of Marshals or Shields should not be going into the core unless the AI in question is malfunctioning and/or hostile. Card the AI and toss it into the cell, much like the borgs. Once they have served their time, return them to their proper vessels. However, if it is found that these actions were done with bad evidence or in bad faith, the Marshals responsible will be charged with §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding), with possible demotion.

As a further note, the AI and Cyborgs cannot open high access areas unless in a state of emergency, for example, the Marshal, Blackshield, or Command armory. The only other time they can open such areas is to clear out infestations and nothing more.

|-
| '''Use of Genetic Enhancements'''
|To utilize any genetic enhancement to commit a crime of any kind. Note, in regards of some enhancements, the person must use them in aid of a crime, not simply be genetically enhanced or capable of using key genetic enhancements.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a genetically enhanced individual used their capabilities, unless said capabilities were passively running. However, due to the nature of genetic splicing being easy to remove with mutagenic purgers from Soteria, hard evidence is not required, albeit Soteria should have provided information that said individual was enhanced in a timely manner. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the individual would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their enhancements removed via mutagenic purger. A enhanced individual using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their genetic enhancements are to be removed immediately. Furthermore, the individual can be barred from Soteria genetics as a result of this modifier for the shift.

== Quick Reference Guide ==
This table is to describe crimes on a charge severity basis. In regards to crime stacking; crimes with the same ending numbers '''CAN NOT''' be stacked unless stated otherwise within the crimes description.

Examples include: You cannot charge someone with both 101 and 401; Vandalism and Sabotage. One cannot be charged with 104 and 204; Battery and Assault.

Proper charges, for example, would be as such: Offender charged with 108 for trespassing into a department, 105 for stealing an item from the department and 204 for attacking an employee trying to stop them non-violently.

If a colonist does not meet this requirement, Security personnel should interview the colonist and aid them in setting up required records, providing a format sheet for them to fill out and put on file.

If the colonist is not willing to file paperwork, they are to be released and High Council is to be notified. (Fax or A-help - records are a rule issue.)

An offender who actively lies about their implant status - such as not reporting their nanogate, psionic, or church implant within their records records is to receive a 303 charge.
|Set the colonist's records or file a report with High Command regarding possible outsiders being present inside. High Council will issue a decree regarding action to be taken, if any.

Being trapped inside a dangerous area and just trying to escape doesn't count toward this.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

|-
| §202
|Obstruction of Duty
|To negatively interfere with the duties of the crew.
|Pushing a security officer trying to make an arrest, ignoring or ripping down caution tape, opening firelocks into a disaster area, dragging injured personnel away from doctors trying to treat them, or any other form of getting in the way; especially during an emergency.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes

Or a fine of no more than 1,250 credits.

|-
| §203
|Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding
|To arrest, brig, or punish an employee without proper cause or reason, or in violation of due process rights such as Habeas Corpus.
|This is mainly for marshal officers who believe they are THE LAW. Also applies to kidnapping. Excessive/disproportionate time spent processing or questioning may fall under this category for minor crimes.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion at the decision of the WO.

|-
| §204
|Assault
|To cause physical harm or mild injury to another employee, or brandishing a deadly weapon with the intent of causing or threatening such an injury.
|Anything beyond a few punches like in '''Battery'''. It has to be bad enough that a few bandages or pills won't fix it. This also includes poisoning with drugs, or using hallucinogens. Use of non-lethal ammunition, or other less-than-lethal means, without just cause counts as assault.

See ‘’’Aggravated Assault’’’ if any lethal ammunition are used, or if the victim suffers a broken bone or notable life-threatening hospitalization. See '''Attempted Murder''' if the intent was to kill. See ‘’’Threat of Murder or Serious Injury``` as a secondary charge to any threats made while brandishing a weapon with a stated threat to murder.

| §209
|Resisting Arrest or Sparking a Manhunt
|To not cooperate with an officer who attempts a proper arrest, or to cause a manhunt by hiding from security. Refusing a lawful search can also get you charged with 209.
|Refusing handcuffs is not resisting arrest. Refusing handcuffs and refusing to come to the brig is resisting arrest. So is pushing the officer trying to arrest you, or running away. Actively hiding or running away is what this law is for.

An officer should take into account their reason for not reporting to security immediately as well. For example, a guild master trying to stop the engine from exploding probably shouldn't be charged with resisting arrest if they ignore the fact that security wants to give them a vandalism fine for breaking a wall earlier.

Likewise, if anyone in security has threatened them with harm, not just arrest, they're somewhat justified in hiding.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

|-
| §212
|Disrespect of the Dead
|To abuse bodies of dead or previously dead employees.

|-
| §213

|Severe Use of Excessive Force
|Critically injuring someone in defense of yourself or others while they no longer pose a threat, or seriously injuring a suspect while attempting to detain them.
|Severely injuring someone attacking you or others with no obvious threat to life, or panicking and shooting a suspect to near-death. Subjects who cannot be cuffed and have their legs broken as a result do not count if the subject refused to comply after 3 warnings and a witness is available to confirm each warning.
|Timer of no more than 40 minutes.

|-
| §311
|Breach of Salvage Rights
|To violate salvage rights by means of theft, 'claim jumping', or otherwise taking undue action against a rightful claimant.
|The consideration of the stolen item(s) value should be taken into account when issuing this charge. This charge may ```NOT``` be placed alongside any theft or grand-theft charges.

|-
| §312
|Animal Cruelty

|Monkeys appropriately used for experiments or crew well-being (e.g genetics, virology, weapon testing, etc.) don't count. Shoving them in washing machines, or throwing them through disposals while still alive falls under this. Using them as food is a grey area; cows are generally fine, but monkey cubes and the like probably aren't.

Creatures typically considered pests (those that are by default hostile such as roaches or spiders) are not protected under this law if they aren't being kept in private areas such as personal dorms, or are fully tamed by a colonist. Tamed in this case means that they will not attack other colonists, or damage colony infrastructure.

| §501
|Terrorism
|To engage in maliciously destructive actions, which seriously threaten the residents of the colony or even the colony's integrity as a whole.
|This includes deliberate arson, hostage taking, use of bombs, release of singularity, etc. In cases of terrorism, the provost marshal must be informed.
|Holding until Judgement.

Execution is encouraged; especially if deaths are caused by the action.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §502
|Mutiny
|To openly rebel against or attempt to remove command staff with violent intent to remove the command staff from power.
|One’s motive is important. If someone is just angry at a head of staff and murders them in a fit of rage, that's just regular murder. On the other hand, trying to take over the colony through violent means, lethal or not, is mutiny.
|Holding until Judgement.

Execution is an option.

|-
| §504
|Murder or Attempted Murder
|To willfully and intentionally kill or attempt to kill someone. To prevent a rightful revival or else render someone unrevivable through clear action.
|Clear intent is needed to prove a case of murder over manslaughter. While Manslaughter is unintentionally causing death through accident, or unintended consequences, Murder is a purposeful act with the intent to take the life of another.

Attempts to cover up an incident of Manslaughter may necessitate a charge of murder due to pre/post meditative evidence.
Additionally, should proof positive be obtained that indicates premeditation the penalty should be automatically adjusted to H.U.T and the low council should convene to determine if more extreme penalties are warranted, up to and including execution.

|If the victim is able to be revived a timer of no less than 90 minutes may be issued. The Council may meet to determine if this sentence be should be upgraded to HuT.

If the victim is deemed unable to be revived, such as through the destruction of a brain or body, execution may be issued at the behest of the Council.

Colony residents who commit murder '''should not be revived''' if they die unless stated otherwise by the Council.

|-
| §505
|Espionage
|To gain access to in-house or proprietary Designs, Documents, Programs, or otherwise vital assets of a Colony Faction or one of the Colony's allies.
|Whether by theft, trespass, or buying such items without the departmental head's explicitly written and shown permission.

Note that this does '''NOT''' include stealing items themselves, such as constructed Guild items or items purchased through the Lonestar Trade System -- only the theft of the program itself or the designs to make more of the Guild's items, or otherwise.

|Hold until Transfer. The stolen proprietary assets should be returned to the faction or ally they were stolen from immediately unless they are directly required to be used as evidence in a tribunal. Any items gathered or created with the proprietary assets should be given to the faction or ally as well.

|-
| §508
|Grand Trespass
|To trespass into an area of high security such as an AI upload or the Marshal armory without any reason to be there; especially when a head of staff or personnel with access to said area is present.
|This does not apply to emergency situations in which a staff member may not be active. In rare cases, such as a code red incident, it may be required that staff without access enter secure areas. This requires '''proper reasoning''' such as a case of imminent threat to the colony itself or it’s inheritance; such as from a rogue AI or hostile invasion.
|Holding until Transfer.

|-
| §509
|Escaping from HuT Sentence
|To attempt or successfully escape from the brig or other holding area when serving a holding until transfer sentence.
|The offender must have been properly judged by tribunal for holding until transfer to be legally issued.
|Execution.

A tribunal is not required under this circumstance, and is the only case where this is currently so.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §510
|Wrongful Execution
|To execute a crew member who later turned out to be innocent.
|This only counts when a tribunal was held and the order was given to execute someone based on faulty or poor evidence that is later debunked by additional evidence. If the tribunal process is skipped, or is carried out incorrectly such as having no premier sign off, then murder is added to the charges.

The warrant officer is punished and any individuals who deliberately produced false evidence are charged with '''Murder'''. Those who unintentionally provided incorrect evidence are charged with '''Manslaughter''' and '''Negligence'''.

It is also required to contact provost marshal Boris Kilmeade if this happens.

|Immediate demotion, suspension from command for a time determined by the High Council and holding until transfer.

Provost Marshal Boris Kilmeade may overrule or specify specifics to this punishment/timer.

|-
| §512
|Slavery
|To force someone to work for no payment through force, threats or purposefully neglecting to pay them. To abuse someone and hold them against their will is also applicable; see §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding).
|This charge does not apply to the modifier '''Forced Labor''' unless it extends over 2 hours or is otherwise stated.

It is very possible that other charges may apply as the person might have been abused in some way or held against their will as well as robbed of their personal belongings. Make sure to charge the individual with all crimes committed.

|Timer of up to 60 minutes may be issued or, in cases where other crimes put the timer over 90 minutes, HuT may be issued.

|-
| §513
|Sexual Assault
|To assault, or attempt to assault, someone else sexually, including rape.
|This charge exists as a means to handle non-con scenes ICly, such as but not limited to: A player OOCly not consenting to a scene and reporting it. '''A-help staff when dealing with these charges.'''
|Permanent removal from the colony or execution.

== Commentaries and Clarifications ==
* '''Common Areas''': Generally understood to be publicly accessible areas of the colony that are owned and maintained by the colony rather than as part of an individual department.
* '''Lethal Firearm''': A gun loaded or set to a fire mode that's main purpose is to inflict damage to put someone into a critical conduction and or kill. Rubbers when shot out of a gun that has mods to inflict additional damage onto the bullet itself automatically count as lethal.
* '''Cyborgification''' The removal of a person's brain for transplanting into a Cyborg Chassis as an alternative to execution. A prisoner who is sentenced to execution must request or consent to this.
* '''Dismissal''': Changing ID title to "Dismissed", which has zero access. Requires the judgement of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Demotion''': Can be demoted down to and including Assistant position. Requires the judgment of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Employee''': Employee of the colony, as defined by the colonies commanding officers. All non-employee subjects are not protected by these laws.
* '''Empowering''': Illegal acquiring (not via Head of Personnel or Colony Director) of access.
* '''Execution''': Prisoner is killed via means of firing squad, lethal injection, or other means. It is required for the premier to be present or an execution may not proceed. It is required to offer the prisoner the option of how they prefer to die. They should also be offered a last meal. It is not required to follow these preferences if they are deemed unreasonable or impossible. In all cases of execution, respective faction owners should be informed of the execution and the crimes leading up to it. (( A PK may be applicable in this situation. See [[Permanent Death]] for OOC details. ))
* '''Head of Staff''': Crew members occupying one of the following positions: Premier, Guild Master, Blackshield Commander, Warrant Officer, Chief Biolab Overseer, Chief Research Overseer, Chief Executive Officer.
* '''Imminent Peril''': A situation in which there is an apparent and immediate threat of serious injury or death, and it is not possible to escape this threat. Obvious examples are shooting someone trying to stab people. A less obvious example is shooting someone trying to sabotage Atmospherics. Lethal force is justified in such a situation because there's no other options remaining.
* '''HuJ / Holding Until Judgement''': Held (in the brig) until a tribunal is done, or the shift ends. Whichever happens first.
* '''HuT / Holding Until Transfer''': Held (in the brig) until the shift ends. This becomes HuJ when a tribunal is being held for the prisoner.
* '''Severe Injury''': A state in which the victim is in a critical condition and is having difficulty maintaining consciousness.

Demotion and dismissal also require the removal of equipment from the previous job. Uniforms, weapons, bombs, PDA cartridges, etc.

For the purposes of Cyborg/AI laws, crew members that have been convicted, or are being held in detention, are considered to be below even the AI/Cyborgs in terms of rank.

Serving sentences in jail can be replaced with forced labor in some cases.

In cases where the final sentence is more than 90 minutes, it is changed to holding until judgment.

The standard penalty can be applied without a tribunal by Security Officers. Tribunals can assign lesser or higher ones, depending on the circumstances.

== OOC Notes ==
* It's vital to know that the involvement of faction owners means involvement of admins. However, if that happens, admins will try to keep in character. Ergo, the character is '''not''' going to magically know attack logs or fingerprints or anything else they don't know IC, because it's like playing a game with cheat codes. It's fun to screw off for a little while, but then it's going to get really boring.
** The above also applies in the case of admins playing normal security.
** The only exception to the above is in the case of potentially removing a character from the station. See [[Permanent Death]] for details. Admins are not going to PK someone who they know OOCly didn't actually do the crime. If you are guilty though an a execution happens, the chance of permanent removal is extremely high. Contact an admin to find out if an executed character has been removed forever.
* '''Laws ARE NOT RULES for the server itself!''' That means, so long as you have a believable in-character motive for breaking these regulations, you won't get banned for it, especially if good roleplay is your end goal. Conversely, if you're just going around smashing windows for shits and giggles, you're ''obviously'' going to get yelled at by an admin. See [[Rules|the actual server rules]] for more details.

List of Factions

2023-02-11T00:45:21Z

Rebel0: Fixes error in spelling

The factions represent the place of employment of each colonist. Each faction is expected to cooperate for the good of the colony but retain their autonomy and cannot be ordered to do anything by other factions. Only a decision by the Nadezhda council approved by the Premier can force a faction to perform a task. Thanks to their close cooperation employees under a faction may be employed by up to two factions (but never more than two), though no colonist may have more than one registered head role. For a example, the the blackshield commander could not also be the marshal warrant officer, but could be a marshal gunnery sergeant. The only exception to this rule is the role of premier, which may be held by any faction leader on a volunteer or permanent basis.

==The Nadezhda Council==
{{SidebarOrganization
| orgname = The Council
| tagline = The Council will now decide your fate.
| type = Administrative

}}
''“We need to maintain unity if we want to survive out here. The people within need direction or they will fracture and turn on each other. Our external threats would want nothing more for us to weaken so they, like so many vultures before them, can opportunistically pick us clean of our life and wealth.” -Boris Kilmeade, during the first meeting that formed the Nadezhda Council.''

'''Owner:''' Joint ownership by each acting faction leader. '''Leader:''' Premier
 

The Nadezhda council represents the combined leadership of the factions within the colony headed by a single leader who acts as arbiter between them. The acting council members are made up of the current leader of each faction or, in place of them, a subordinate acting in their place should they not be present. In this way the acting directors of each faction are allowed to pursue their own interests and tasks and the day to day operations are delegated to those they trust with the responsibility. The council is formed strictly for the cooperation between factions to handle greater disputes and events concerning the colony as a whole. At the head of the council is the premier, a man or woman selected from one of the factions and working as the sole arbiter of council decisions. The premier has the ability two perform two unique actions, he is the only person capable of changing someone's access level on the colony. As such he, at the request and only at the request of any faction head, may promote and demote colonists. The premier is also given the sole ability to veto decisions made by the council and can only be overruled by a unanimous vote by all current faction leaders. The premier is not an absolute authority however and may be demoted from his position by a vote of at least three or more currently acting faction leaders. He is also unable to give orders to any colony members barring his personal guards who answer only to him. By this method the council maintains cooperation and balance among the various factions and colonists.

===The Marshals===
{{SidebarOrganization
| orgname = Marshals
| tagline = We are... The Law!
| type = Security
| img_file =
| presence = Major
| focus = Internal Security/Law Enforcement
}}
''“Who but we stand between order and chaos? Who but we fashion for ourselves an armor with which we protect our people? I have my transgressions with the Sol Federation, but we cannot survive without order and structure.” -Boris Kilmeade, in conversation with Ayanda Mwangi.''

'''Owner:''' Board of Trustees; Provost Officer Boris Kilmeade
'''Acting Leader:''' Warrant Officer
 

The origins of the Marshals can be traced back to a group assembled by Boris Kilmeade prior to his defection from the Sol Federal military. Kilmeade served as a commissioned officer, launching a takeover in his local sector prior to the bluespace crash. The group of plotters assembled at the time varied from serving military corpsman, military police, and private security organizations. It was using these service men and women that Kilmeade established the Marshals, starting a private security company prior to his arrival at Nadezhda. This original force was quickly depleted in a prolonged conflict with the Sol Federation forces, leaving Kilmeade to flee Sol Fed’s control towards the frontiers of space. With the Marshal’s numbers depleted, private detectives, urban lawmen, frontier sheriffs, gunsmiths, vigilantes and other able-bodied volunteers were taken on in large numbers prior to the meeting Soteria’s fleet in the sector. With a stringent command structure and professionalism the Marshals were quick to turn from a rugged paramilitary force into a proper police force, typically finding themselves contracted to deal with high-class operations. These ranged from breaching into wrecked ships, performing private security work, to even mundane investigation activities regarding corporate damages.

Upon Nadezhda’s establishment the Marshals have since become a subsidized police force for the colony. The colony itself owns the majority of the Marshal’s shares, ensuring a public service is provided by the group to the colony’s populace without charge and a board of trustees to ensure the Marshals remain as unbiased as possible in terms of corporate dealings. On this board Kilmeade sits as its chairman, operating under the title of ‘Provost Marshal’ as per his founding of the organization. However, private shares of the Marshals are still traded, specifically in its gunsmith and production side. The Marshals are Nadezhda’s number #1 dealers of ballistic firearm designs, using many leftover gun parts to cobble together serviceable weapons or producing their own in-house designs fit for frontier lifestyle use.

===The Blackshield ===
{{SidebarOrganization
| orgname = Blackshield
| tagline = Lock and load!
| type = Militia
| img_file =
| presence = Major
| focus = External Security/Combat
}}
''“I don’t order men to die, I tell them where conflict is and they go willingly to sacrifice everything in our defense. We don’t want men who die for our cause, we want men who will die in the name of their cause. God willing I will stand next to them when it happens.” -Ayanda Mwangi, in conversation with Boris Kilmeade.''

''"We are an island in a sea of chaos, we must endure." -Anonymous Blackshield Commander, in a fax to the Council regarding the security of Nadezhda's perimeter.''

'''Owner:''' Ayanda Mwangi
'''Acting Leader:''' Blackshield Commander
 

The Blackshield were originally founded by the joint Nadezhda factions under the pretense of protecting the colony from external forces in the form of hostile natives, hostile fauna, and potential pirates. Officially speaking the brigadier has the sole authority over the blackshield and members are expected to respond to and eliminate all threats regardless of former affiliations. Core blackshield who are not volunteers are strictly loyal to the colony and rigidly train volunteers with that in mind. That said, nearly half the original blackshield trainers were split between former sol federation citizens and military forces. Among the ranking members of the blackshield there are the corpsmen and troopers who make up the primary ground forces and the blackshield commander and sergeant, who function as leaders and directors in the field of combat. The blackshield follows a rigid command structure and expectations of its members. While the blackshield has its official career personnel who are registered and on duty even during times of peace they also include the volunteer militia, made up of colonists from other jobs who wish to aid the blackshield in dire times.

===The Prospectors===
{{SidebarOrganization

| tagline = Is it nailed down? No? Perfect.
| type = Exploration
| img_file =
| presence = Major

}}
''“Give me your worst. Give me the bastards, the thugs, the criminal and pious alike. I want every god damn drudge you got because fella, this job requires an independent streak a mile wide and enough grit to fill a god damn bulk mining drill.” -Boss Hogg, founder of the prospectors.''

'''Owner:''' Jeremiah Hogg
'''Acting Leader:''' Expedition Foreman
 

The prospectors are another faction formed by the colony under the direct leadership of over-boss Jeremiah Hogg. The prospectors were originally founded by members of the Lonestar mining division who had the knack for exploration and scavenging and began to gravitate towards looting old ruins. Due to the inherent risk and cost of such endeavors the Lonestar collectively banned miners from participating in this venture. In response, the foreman of the Lonestar mining division, Jeremiah Hogg, split from the division with several miners and left the colony. Jeremiah Hogg was a popular abhuman of a warthog variant who amassed much respect of those with criminal reputations in the Sol federation and with him many ne'er-do-wells set up their own operations in the wilds looting ruins and fending for themselves. The roughnecks of the group managed to not only carve out a successful living but found many valuable and expensive bits of loot sifting through the ruins. This wealth and success did not go unnoticed and despite tense relations between the sarcastically named ‘prospectors’ the Lonestar saw potential now. Although it took a lot of greased palms and negotiations between the Lonestar, prospectors, and the colony factions eventually the prospectors were allowed to rejoin the colony as an official faction after paying several fines and entry fees. The de facto over boss is still boss Hogg, who now lives in the colony over seeing prospector operations and delegating the day to day expeditions and tasks to his foremans. Additionally, the prospectors follow the same policy as the blackshield and recruit anyone willing to join, either temporarily or permanently, as team members. Perhaps a call back to their original members the prospectors kept the name and willingly help the Lonestar miners, usually as escorts in the dangerous caves or by marking spots they’ve detected large ore deposits with flags, something boss Hogg gives bonuses for doing.

===The Soteria Institute===
{{SidebarOrganization
| orgname = Soteria Institute
| tagline = Now THAT'S something I haven't seen before...
| type = Medical/Science
| img_file =
| presence = Major
| focus = Healthcare/Research

''“Science is made upon the shoulders of giants, as the humans are so fond of saying. I’ve never been one to ask the why or should of something, only if we can. Can we make a combat exosuit that can phase through walls? Can we make bombs that rival nuclear warheads? Can we bring someone back from certain death? The answer is yes, Premier, and I am entirely uncaring of if you take umbrage with this mindset.” -Nakharan Mkne, in conversation with a Premier and Nadezhda council.''

'''Owner:''' Nakharan Mkne
 
'''Acting Leader(s)'''
 
'''Medical Division:''' Chief Biolab Overseer
 
'''Research Division:''' Chief Research Overseer
 

The soteria institute is considered by many a radical among the scientific world of the Sol Federation and its Mar’qua allies for several reasons. The original corporation is a joint operation employed by the empire to research the most advanced technology in all areas from biology to weaponry and has long provided the federation with its most advanced tools of warfare and state crafting. It’s success is largely attributed to its willingness to allow any scientist, regardless of background, to achieve high status through merit alone. Yet one single director of the company, one Nakharan Mkne, stood out among his peers and took the already radical companies ideology and brought it to the extreme. Known as a maverick even among his peers the Mar’qua born Nakharan jumped at the idea of joining his own independent colony and, in a true fashion to his radical ways, opted to join the colony through a long range teleportation device his personal research divisions were working on. On the day of the colonies arrival Nakharan made a grand appearance in the skies of Amethyn as his ships loaded with valuable research and technology appeared in the sky… and exploded. Few ships survived the experimental bluespace teleportation at a long range, sending nearly all of them crashing into the planet and spreading their valuable materials and technology across the surface. Crucially, Nakharan had the foresight to ensure his researchers survival with specially designed and reinforced pods which ensured most of his underlings and himself survived the resulting crash to the planets surface. The soteria institute took the failure in stride and quickly gathered what supplies they could easily salvage and built an advanced research and medical bay. The faction is now headed by Nakharan who oversees both the medical and research divisions of the colony and delegates the day to day work to his chief subordinates, the biolab and research overseers.

You might feel me as a vicious capitalist but baby I funded this and I'm in this for the long haul.” -Robert Ryan, founder and owner of the LSS.''

'''Owner:''' Robert Ryan
'''Acting Leader:''' Chief Executive Officer
 

When it comes to smugglers and deep space runners there is no company more willing to take risks than the Lonestar shipping solutions. Aggressive marketeers seeking untapped sources of profit the Lonestar originally began as a quasi-legal operation working just outside Sol federation jurisdiction. This came about by the Lonestar founder Robert Ryan, a pure human known for his slang filled speech, began filling the niche of frontier gun runner and medical supply depot by finding untapped markets in the frontier in need of the basic necessities. What set the Lonestar apart from its competitors was its ruthless pursuit of profit at any cost and rumors were abound for decades that the Lonestar worked with and for pirates, rebels, and federation forces alike. This quasi-legal operation could not last however and eventually the large profits the Lonestar was making was finally noticed by the Sol federation. The only thing more sure than death now came after the company and that was taxes. Due to the Lonestar working outside of Sol federation jurisdiction they avoided paying taxes on all purchases and deliveries, however, the main office was safely within federation space. The federation bean counters began to tally up every single transaction the Lonestar had made since its founding under the pretense of owing back taxes since its main office was in Sol federation space it owed it for the ‘protection and allowed growth within its borders.’ At the same time the Sol federation courts began a completely transparent bid to sue the LSS and court proceedings began to file seizure to wrest control of the company from then CEO Robert Ryan and claim it as a government corporation.

Robert Ryan, in true fashion with his reputation as an absolute madman, began to do everything in his power to avoid paying the taxes that would bankrupt him while trying to prevent the seizure of his company. By greasing palms of a few easily bribed men in power Ryan was able to slow the already snail’s pace court systems further and began to plot his escape, along with his company assets, from Sol federation space. Using coordinates to a safe and unclaimed star system at the edge of the galactic rim he created the plans needed to form his own colony. After months of back deals, bribes, foreclosures, and market maneuvering the Lonestar corporation managed to broker a deal with several other factions of a similar mind set to create its own independent colony. With a final payment to a bill board displaying Robert Ryan giving the middle finger above his former headquarters the Lonestar left Sol federation space for good. At the colony Robert Ryan remains the owner and proprietor the LSS but spends much of his time off the colony conducting business and market research within the Kriosan confederacy, their largest market for exports. He leaves the day to day operations and tasks to his subordinates, the chief executive officers. The Lonestar currently holds ownership over the mining division, the bar and kitchen, janitorial staff, botany, all cargo traffic, and any/all trade deals.

===The Artificers Guild===
{{SidebarOrganization

}}
''“It's a cliche I know but I see every man and woman here, from apprentice to adept, as family. I didn’t begin my path as an engineer, I began it as an apprentice blacksmith at my father’s forge. We made claymores, hunting claymores, my fondest memories of family are at the anvil with my father’s hand guiding my hammer. I can only dream my apprentices see me in the same light.” -Tacitus O'Connor, grand master of the guild, in conversation with Robert Ryan.''

'''Owner:''' Tacitus O'Connor
'''Acting Leader:''' Guild Master
 

The artificers guild is a relatively small group known among the Sol federation military as competent engineers, techs, and maintenance men who for nearly a decade were solely responsible for the Sol systems military maintenance. The artificers guild were prized largely for their long reputation for fair dealing, honesty, and hard work. The artificers guild is most certainly the oldest faction among the colony and began nearly two centuries ago as a family owned business working as electricians, engineers, plumbers, and star ship repairmen. Over decades of fair service and honest dealings earned them a wide renown for such a small group that nobody could ever quite consider a corporation. This promising reputation is what ultimately led to their undoing as the star system of Sol decided to conscript them, despite their protest, to work pro bono for the Sol militarily defense. For nearly a decade the artificers guild worked for the Sol military without pay, given only what was required to house and feed the many guild workers who grew steadily to resent what they saw as their enslavement. This enslavement changed upon the promotion of a new grand master, Tacitus O’Connor, who unbeknownst to much of the work force and the Sol military had been plotting to free his guild from their conscription. Tacitus is an abhuman of the sablekyne variant and was known as a hard working and fair man, commonly accepted as a brilliant engineer. Tacitus, along with several engineers and computer techs, had been plotting for months with the aid of another rebellious man, Robert Ryan and owner of the lonestar shipping solutions, to escape Sol federation space. Together they worked to find a single window and opening in the Sol defense network that would allow the guilds only ship to escape. Their lucky break came during a militarial parade in honor of the Sol federations successful annexation of another smaller empire. In this brief window of celebration Tacitus and several guild adepts powered up their ship and launched it out of Sol space using a stolen bluespace FTL drive provided to them by the lonestar.

Apart of their deal to aid them in escaping the artificers guild agreed to join the colony as their resident engineers and technicians. This position proved advantageous for the now wanted members of the guild who saw little else in the way of opportunity. The members of the guild are still lead by Tacitus, who oversees all construction and maintenance of the colony while delegating day to day tasks to his guild master. In addition to construction work and repairs the artificers guild provides maintenance to all guns, machines, colony systems, and control the power systems which consist of a gutted ship engine from their ship turned into a power reactor.

''“You cannot change what ''is'', dear friend. Everything you do is inevitable, predecided, fixed. Each number begets the next in an ordered line. You cannot change this universal order no matter how much you think you know. Your science is merely discovering the next number in the sequence, nothing more. Call it fate or revelation or mathematics; we all follow it, and eventually we will reach the end of it.” -Augustine Browne, in conversation with Nakharan Mkne.''

'''Owner:''' Augustine Browne '''Acting Leader:''' Prime

Of the faiths outlawed by the Sol Federation, none are more steeped in fear and mysticism than the Absolutists. It was not for their beliefs that they were branded outlaws, but for the woman behind the faith and the technology she created. Augustine Browne, former chief of the Soteria Institute's robotics division and mathematician, founded her religion on the creation of the Cruciform, a revolutionary implant capable of feats akin to magic. Allegedly created to fight the recently-created Hivemind, the Cruciform designs and prototypes were taken by their inventor, who burned down her lab and fled to parts unknown shortly thereafter. Branded a criminal by the Federation, Augustine later reappeared on the fringes of human space at the head of a church full of Cruciform-bearing Absolutists who preached religious unity.

The Federation's police forces were quick to take notice of the unusual technology, and moved to put an end to the 'cult'. Luckily for Augustine and her followers, the Federation's hold on the frontier was weaker than they thought, and they were able to repel police teams sent to apprehend them. This small victory did not last long, however, and retaliation from the Federation's fleets was swift and brutal. Despite the powers their Cruciforms held and their extensive preparations, the Church of the Absolute sustained heavy losses and was once more sent into exile, their retreat bought at the sacrifice of those who remained behind. With nowhere else to turn and her followers in mourning, Augustine turned to Nakharan Mkne, an old friend from the Soteria Institute, for help.

Nakharan, who was at the time preparing for the bluespace jump that would take him to what would become Nadezhda, flatly refused to help Augustine and her followers. Nakharan took Augustine's betrayal of the Institute personally, and would not allow himself to ally with a traitor-- much less one who refused to share so much of her technology. Yet, as though by fate, Augustine left Nakaharan's office only to meet with Lonestar's Robert Ryan just outside. Having overheard the heated exchange, the wily capitalist quickly struck a deal, and within weeks the remaining Absolutists gathered, fleeing with Ryan's ships to found a proper church on the new colony.

''“Diving head long into danger is the way of the hunter. With reckless enthusiasm we fight, with every adventure we master the hunt. Even in our direst times, we face our enemy with a joyful bravado shaped by the thrill of the hunt."''

'''Owner:''' Jea Smail '''Leader:''' Huntmaster
 

A newly risen faction created by Jea Smail, its current Matriarch, the Hunting Lodge is not considered a part of the colony but maintains strong ties with Nadezhda. The Hunting Lodge is a group outside of the colony that allows individuals who are not a part of the colony to join their Lodge, and take part in the hunts that they do against the various wildlife of Amethyn. From hunting the deer to hunting Renders and Xenomorphs, the hunters of the Lodge are strongly independent individuals that are exceptional butchers and survivalists against the cruel wildlife.

After several months of speaking with various heads of staff, her work in bringing the Hunting Lodge to life has been brought to fruition. Taking Sablekyne weapon designs in the form of halberds and crossbows, the very weapons specialized to take down the native fauna and beasts of Amethyn gives the Hunters a edge. Knowledge acquired from the hunters of the Mordecai Hunting Company allows them to make the most use out of butchering and skinning the prizes that Hunters catch, along with a influx of experienced and veteran hunters to new members of Mordecai's people due to the alliance that was struck between the two. The Hunting Lodge is an independent group from the colony, however currently, the Hunting Lodge currently shares both an alliance and a defensive pact with Nadezhda. The hunters are to come to the colony’s aid when it is under attack by other groups, individuals, or entities, and the colony’s Blackshield forces along with volunteers to the hunter’s aid in such similar conditions.

Rebel0: Updates Marshal Lore

The factions represent the place of employment of each colonist. Each faction is expected to cooperate for the good of the colony but retain their autonomy and cannot be ordered to do anything by other factions. Only a decision by the Nadezhda council approved by the Premier can force a faction to perform a task. Thanks to their close cooperation employees under a faction may be employed by up to two factions (but never more than two), though no colonist may have more than one registered head role. For a example, the the blackshield commander could not also be the marshal warrant officer, but could be a marshal gunnery sergeant. The only exception to this rule is the role of premier, which may be held by any faction leader on a volunteer or permanent basis.

''“We need to maintain unity if we want to survive out here. The people within need direction or they will fracture and turn on each other. Our external threats would want nothing more for us to weaken so they, like so many vultures before them, can opportunistically pick us clean of our life and wealth.” -Boris Kilmeade, during the first meeting that formed the Nadezhda Council.''

'''Owner:''' Joint ownership by each acting faction leader. '''Leader:''' Premier
 

The Nadezhda council represents the combined leadership of the factions within the colony headed by a single leader who acts as arbiter between them. The acting council members are made up of the current leader of each faction or, in place of them, a subordinate acting in their place should they not be present. In this way the acting directors of each faction are allowed to pursue their own interests and tasks and the day to day operations are delegated to those they trust with the responsibility. The council is formed strictly for the cooperation between factions to handle greater disputes and events concerning the colony as a whole. At the head of the council is the premier, a man or woman selected from one of the factions and working as the sole arbiter of council decisions. The premier has the ability two perform two unique actions, he is the only person capable of changing someone's access level on the colony. As such he, at the request and only at the request of any faction head, may promote and demote colonists. The premier is also given the sole ability to veto decisions made by the council and can only be overruled by a unanimous vote by all current faction leaders. The premier is not an absolute authority however and may be demoted from his position by a vote of at least three or more currently acting faction leaders. He is also unable to give orders to any colony members barring his personal guards who answer only to him. By this method the council maintains cooperation and balance among the various factions and colonists.

===The Marshals===
{{SidebarOrganization

| tagline = We are... The Law!
| type = Security

}}
''“Who but we stand between order and chaos? Who but we fashion for ourselves an armor with which we protect our people? I have my transgressions with the Sol Federation, but we cannot survive without order and structure.” -Boris Kilmeade, in conversation with Ayanda Mwangi.''

'''Owner:''' Board of Trustees; '''Provost''' Boris Kilmeade
'''Acting Leader:''' Warrant Officer
 

The origins of the Marshals can be traced back to a group assembled by Boris Kilmeade prior to his defection from the Sol Federal military. Kilmeade served as a commissioned officer, launching a takeover in his local sector prior to the bluespace crash. The group of plotters assembled at the time varied from serving military corpsman, military police, and private security organizations. It was using these service men and women that Kilmeade established the Marshals, starting a private security company prior to his arrival at Nadezda. This original force was quickly depleted in a prolonged conflict with the Sol Federation forces, leaving Kilmeade to flee Sol Fed’s control towards the frontiers of space. With the Marshal’s numbers depleted, private detectives, urban lawmen, frontier sheriffs, gunsmiths, vigilanties and other able-bodied volunteers were taken on in large numbers prior to the meeting Soteria’s fleet in the sector. With a stringent command structure and professionalism the Marshals were quick to turn from a rugged paramilitary force into a proper police force, typically finding themselves contracted to deal with high-class operations. These ranged from breaching into wrecked ships, performing private security work, to even mundane investigation activities regarding corporate damages.

Upon Nadezhda’s establishment the Marshals have since become a subsidized police force for the colony. The colony itself owns the majority of the Marshal’s shares, ensuring a public service is provided by the group to the colony’s populace without charge and a board of trustees to ensure the Marshals remain as unbiased as possible in terms of corporate dealings. On this board Kilmeade sits as its chairman, operating under the title of ‘Provost Marshal’ as per his founding of the organization. However, private shares of the Marshals are still traded, specifically in its gunsmith and production side. The Marshals are Nadezhda’s number #1 dealers of ballistic firearm designs, using many leftover gun parts to cobble together serviceable weapons or producing their own in-house designs fit for frontier lifestyle use.

===The Blackshield ===
{{SidebarOrganization
| orgname = Blackshield
| tagline = Lock and load!
| type = Militia
| img_file =

}}
''“I don’t order men to die, I tell them where conflict is and they go willingly to sacrifice everything in our defense. We don’t want men who die for our cause, we want men who will die in the name of their cause. God willing I will stand next to them when it happens.” -Ayanda Mwangi, in conversation with Boris Kilmeade.''

''"We are an island in a sea of chaos, we must endure." -Anonymous Blackshield Commander, in a fax to the Council regarding the security of Nadezhda's perimeter.''

'''Owner:''' Ayanda Mwangi
'''Acting Leader:''' Blackshield Commander
 

The Blackshield were originally founded by the joint Nadezhda factions under the pretense of protecting the colony from external forces in the form of hostile natives, hostile fauna, and potential pirates. Officially speaking the brigadier has the sole authority over the blackshield and members are expected to respond to and eliminate all threats regardless of former affiliations. Core blackshield who are not volunteers are strictly loyal to the colony and rigidly train volunteers with that in mind. That said, nearly half the original blackshield trainers were split between former sol federation citizens and military forces. Among the ranking members of the blackshield there are the corpsmen and troopers who make up the primary ground forces and the blackshield commander and sergeant, who function as leaders and directors in the field of combat. The blackshield follows a rigid command structure and expectations of its members. While the blackshield has its official career personnel who are registered and on duty even during times of peace they also include the volunteer militia, made up of colonists from other jobs who wish to aid the blackshield in dire times.

===The Prospectors===
{{SidebarOrganization

}}
''“Give me your worst. Give me the bastards, the thugs, the criminal and pious alike. I want every god damn drudge you got because fella, this job requires an independent streak a mile wide and enough grit to fill a god damn bulk mining drill.” -Boss Hogg, founder of the prospectors.''

'''Owner:''' Jeremiah Hogg
'''Acting Leader:''' Expedition Foreman
 

The prospectors are another faction formed by the colony under the direct leadership of over-boss Jeremiah Hogg. The prospectors were originally founded by members of the Lonestar mining division who had the knack for exploration and scavenging and began to gravitate towards looting old ruins. Due to the inherent risk and cost of such endeavors the Lonestar collectively banned miners from participating in this venture. In response, the foreman of the Lonestar mining division, Jeremiah Hogg, split from the division with several miners and left the colony. Jeremiah Hogg was a popular abhuman of a warthog variant who amassed much respect of those with criminal reputations in the Sol federation and with him many ne'er-do-wells set up their own operations in the wilds looting ruins and fending for themselves. The roughnecks of the group managed to not only carve out a successful living but found many valuable and expensive bits of loot sifting through the ruins. This wealth and success did not go unnoticed and despite tense relations between the sarcastically named ‘prospectors’ the Lonestar saw potential now. Although it took a lot of greased palms and negotiations between the Lonestar, prospectors, and the colony factions eventually the prospectors were allowed to rejoin the colony as an official faction after paying several fines and entry fees. The de facto over boss is still boss Hogg, who now lives in the colony over seeing prospector operations and delegating the day to day expeditions and tasks to his foremans. Additionally, the prospectors follow the same policy as the blackshield and recruit anyone willing to join, either temporarily or permanently, as team members. Perhaps a call back to their original members the prospectors kept the name and willingly help the Lonestar miners, usually as escorts in the dangerous caves or by marking spots they’ve detected large ore deposits with flags, something boss Hogg gives bonuses for doing.

''“Science is made upon the shoulders of giants, as the humans are so fond of saying. I’ve never been one to ask the why or should of something, only if we can. Can we make a combat exosuit that can phase through walls? Can we make bombs that rival nuclear warheads? Can we bring someone back from certain death? The answer is yes, Premier, and I am entirely uncaring of if you take umbrage with this mindset.” -Nakharan Mkne, in conversation with a Premier and Nadezhda council.''

'''Owner:''' Nakharan Mkne
 
'''Acting Leader(s)'''
 
'''Medical Division:''' Chief Biolab Overseer
 
'''Research Division:''' Chief Research Overseer
 

The soteria institute is considered by many a radical among the scientific world of the Sol Federation and its Mar’qua allies for several reasons. The original corporation is a joint operation employed by the empire to research the most advanced technology in all areas from biology to weaponry and has long provided the federation with its most advanced tools of warfare and state crafting. It’s success is largely attributed to its willingness to allow any scientist, regardless of background, to achieve high status through merit alone. Yet one single director of the company, one Nakharan Mkne, stood out among his peers and took the already radical companies ideology and brought it to the extreme. Known as a maverick even among his peers the Mar’qua born Nakharan jumped at the idea of joining his own independent colony and, in a true fashion to his radical ways, opted to join the colony through a long range teleportation device his personal research divisions were working on. On the day of the colonies arrival Nakharan made a grand appearance in the skies of Amethyn as his ships loaded with valuable research and technology appeared in the sky… and exploded. Few ships survived the experimental bluespace teleportation at a long range, sending nearly all of them crashing into the planet and spreading their valuable materials and technology across the surface. Crucially, Nakharan had the foresight to ensure his researchers survival with specially designed and reinforced pods which ensured most of his underlings and himself survived the resulting crash to the planets surface. The soteria institute took the failure in stride and quickly gathered what supplies they could easily salvage and built an advanced research and medical bay. The faction is now headed by Nakharan who oversees both the medical and research divisions of the colony and delegates the day to day work to his chief subordinates, the biolab and research overseers.

'''Owner:''' Robert Ryan
'''Acting Leader:''' Chief Executive Officer
 

When it comes to smugglers and deep space runners there is no company more willing to take risks than the Lonestar shipping solutions. Aggressive marketeers seeking untapped sources of profit the Lonestar originally began as a quasi-legal operation working just outside Sol federation jurisdiction. This came about by the Lonestar founder Robert Ryan, a pure human known for his slang filled speech, began filling the niche of frontier gun runner and medical supply depot by finding untapped markets in the frontier in need of the basic necessities. What set the Lonestar apart from its competitors was its ruthless pursuit of profit at any cost and rumors were abound for decades that the Lonestar worked with and for pirates, rebels, and federation forces alike. This quasi-legal operation could not last however and eventually the large profits the Lonestar was making was finally noticed by the Sol federation. The only thing more sure than death now came after the company and that was taxes. Due to the Lonestar working outside of Sol federation jurisdiction they avoided paying taxes on all purchases and deliveries, however, the main office was safely within federation space. The federation bean counters began to tally up every single transaction the Lonestar had made since its founding under the pretense of owing back taxes since its main office was in Sol federation space it owed it for the ‘protection and allowed growth within its borders.’ At the same time the Sol federation courts began a completely transparent bid to sue the LSS and court proceedings began to file seizure to wrest control of the company from then CEO Robert Ryan and claim it as a government corporation.

Robert Ryan, in true fashion with his reputation as an absolute madman, began to do everything in his power to avoid paying the taxes that would bankrupt him while trying to prevent the seizure of his company. By greasing palms of a few easily bribed men in power Ryan was able to slow the already snail’s pace court systems further and began to plot his escape, along with his company assets, from Sol federation space. Using coordinates to a safe and unclaimed star system at the edge of the galactic rim he created the plans needed to form his own colony. After months of back deals, bribes, foreclosures, and market maneuvering the Lonestar corporation managed to broker a deal with several other factions of a similar mind set to create its own independent colony. With a final payment to a bill board displaying Robert Ryan giving the middle finger above his former headquarters the Lonestar left Sol federation space for good. At the colony Robert Ryan remains the owner and proprietor the LSS but spends much of his time off the colony conducting business and market research within the Kriosan confederacy, their largest market for exports. He leaves the day to day operations and tasks to his subordinates, the chief executive officers. The Lonestar currently holds ownership over the mining division, the bar and kitchen, janitorial staff, botany, all cargo traffic, and any/all trade deals.

===The Artificers Guild===
{{SidebarOrganization

}}
''“It's a cliche I know but I see every man and woman here, from apprentice to adept, as family. I didn’t begin my path as an engineer, I began it as an apprentice blacksmith at my father’s forge. We made claymores, hunting claymores, my fondest memories of family are at the anvil with my father’s hand guiding my hammer. I can only dream my apprentices see me in the same light.” -Tacitus O'Connor, grand master of the guild, in conversation with Robert Ryan.''

'''Owner:''' Tacitus O'Connor
'''Acting Leader:''' Guild Master
 

The artificers guild is a relatively small group known among the Sol federation military as competent engineers, techs, and maintenance men who for nearly a decade were solely responsible for the Sol systems military maintenance. The artificers guild were prized largely for their long reputation for fair dealing, honesty, and hard work. The artificers guild is most certainly the oldest faction among the colony and began nearly two centuries ago as a family owned business working as electricians, engineers, plumbers, and star ship repairmen. Over decades of fair service and honest dealings earned them a wide renown for such a small group that nobody could ever quite consider a corporation. This promising reputation is what ultimately led to their undoing as the star system of Sol decided to conscript them, despite their protest, to work pro bono for the Sol militarily defense. For nearly a decade the artificers guild worked for the Sol military without pay, given only what was required to house and feed the many guild workers who grew steadily to resent what they saw as their enslavement. This enslavement changed upon the promotion of a new grand master, Tacitus O’Connor, who unbeknownst to much of the work force and the Sol military had been plotting to free his guild from their conscription. Tacitus is an abhuman of the sablekyne variant and was known as a hard working and fair man, commonly accepted as a brilliant engineer. Tacitus, along with several engineers and computer techs, had been plotting for months with the aid of another rebellious man, Robert Ryan and owner of the lonestar shipping solutions, to escape Sol federation space. Together they worked to find a single window and opening in the Sol defense network that would allow the guilds only ship to escape. Their lucky break came during a militarial parade in honor of the Sol federations successful annexation of another smaller empire. In this brief window of celebration Tacitus and several guild adepts powered up their ship and launched it out of Sol space using a stolen bluespace FTL drive provided to them by the lonestar.

Apart of their deal to aid them in escaping the artificers guild agreed to join the colony as their resident engineers and technicians. This position proved advantageous for the now wanted members of the guild who saw little else in the way of opportunity. The members of the guild are still lead by Tacitus, who oversees all construction and maintenance of the colony while delegating day to day tasks to his guild master. In addition to construction work and repairs the artificers guild provides maintenance to all guns, machines, colony systems, and control the power systems which consist of a gutted ship engine from their ship turned into a power reactor.

''“You cannot change what ''is'', dear friend. Everything you do is inevitable, predecided, fixed. Each number begets the next in an ordered line. You cannot change this universal order no matter how much you think you know. Your science is merely discovering the next number in the sequence, nothing more. Call it fate or revelation or mathematics; we all follow it, and eventually we will reach the end of it.” -Augustine Browne, in conversation with Nakharan Mkne.''

'''Owner:''' Augustine Browne '''Acting Leader:''' Prime

Of the faiths outlawed by the Sol Federation, none are more steeped in fear and mysticism than the Absolutists. It was not for their beliefs that they were branded outlaws, but for the woman behind the faith and the technology she created. Augustine Browne, former chief of the Soteria Institute's robotics division and mathematician, founded her religion on the creation of the Cruciform, a revolutionary implant capable of feats akin to magic. Allegedly created to fight the recently-created Hivemind, the Cruciform designs and prototypes were taken by their inventor, who burned down her lab and fled to parts unknown shortly thereafter. Branded a criminal by the Federation, Augustine later reappeared on the fringes of human space at the head of a church full of Cruciform-bearing Absolutists who preached religious unity.

The Federation's police forces were quick to take notice of the unusual technology, and moved to put an end to the 'cult'. Luckily for Augustine and her followers, the Federation's hold on the frontier was weaker than they thought, and they were able to repel police teams sent to apprehend them. This small victory did not last long, however, and retaliation from the Federation's fleets was swift and brutal. Despite the powers their Cruciforms held and their extensive preparations, the Church of the Absolute sustained heavy losses and was once more sent into exile, their retreat bought at the sacrifice of those who remained behind. With nowhere else to turn and her followers in mourning, Augustine turned to Nakharan Mkne, an old friend from the Soteria Institute, for help.

Nakharan, who was at the time preparing for the bluespace jump that would take him to what would become Nadezhda, flatly refused to help Augustine and her followers. Nakharan took Augustine's betrayal of the Institute personally, and would not allow himself to ally with a traitor-- much less one who refused to share so much of her technology. Yet, as though by fate, Augustine left Nakaharan's office only to meet with Lonestar's Robert Ryan just outside. Having overheard the heated exchange, the wily capitalist quickly struck a deal, and within weeks the remaining Absolutists gathered, fleeing with Ryan's ships to found a proper church on the new colony.

Laws

2023-01-30T21:54:00Z

Rebel0: /* Excelsior Equipment / Excelsior Contraband */

The colony laws are a series of regulations that all interest groups on the High Council have agreed to, applying them broadly to all colonists inside the colony. The colony’s Marshals are expected to uphold and enforce these laws, and all departments are expected to follow them. This is not a general guide to security. All new marshals should review the official [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]]. It is important to know that all offenses listed below should be followed as a ‘guideline’ by law enforcement personnel and do allow for victim rights and alternative solutions to minor offenses. For example, you are not required to give a sentence if the problem can be resolved in an alternative way that the suspect agrees to, such as an agreement with the victim in return for not pressing charges, or peer mediation. To understand how to go about a proper arrest, or other clarifications such as prisoner rights, alert levels, and more, see [[Standard Operating Procedure]]. Note that Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is enforced via the head of staff. To be charged with a violation of SOP, a head of staff has to request a relevant charge be levied, such as denial of a reasonable order.

'''Law's protections, and rights only apply to colonists and colony allies. Visitors, outsiders, and groups unconnected to the colony have no rights and therefore no protections under the law.'''

== Interpretation of the Law ==
'''<big>All colony law is subject to the standard of INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. No one is to ever be assumed guilty, evidence must be presented that reasonably proves guilt.</big>'''

A good working knowledge of the law is important for any person on the station. It can be the difference between a shiny pair of handcuffs and sipping drinks in the bar. More in-depth interpretations of the law are required for such positions as the ranger, officer, premier, and the warrant officer. For certain crimes, the accused party's intent is important. Intent can be the difference between a charge such as, say, manslaughter and murder. One requires purposeful intent, the other is unintentional and typically caused by negligence or workplace accident. It is also important to note that manslaughter and murder are mutually exclusive. This indicates that an individual must be charged with one or the other, not both. Neither could someone be charged with both assault and murder on an individual if there is only a single victim, the higher-grade charge must be the charge applied in that case.

All of this will be explained in detail as you read on, including specialty clauses, cases, guides, and explanations to how a Marshal or servant of the law should think when interpreting legal issues such as criminal acts or disputes.

Here are a few basic to-know bullet points for officers:
* '''To ensure you, as an arresting officer, don't fall into the trap of negligence or misuse of power, always follow procedure where possible as detailed by [[Standard_Operating_Procedure#Marshals|standard operating procedure]].'''
* As an arresting officer, follow the [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]] to ensure you don't fall foul of legal proceedings.
* In the case of pressed charges being in the same category (i.e Battery, Assault, Murder - or Vandalism, Theft, Grand Theft) take only the most severe charge. Any lesser charges in this case should not be applied.
* A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took 3 items off someone, this is a single count of theft. Otherwise this would count as 'crime-stacking', which is against SOP and law.
* When deciding on a timer for multiple crimes committed, take each crime into consideration separately. Then add the times together to get a final concise timer. This should be the timer issued to an offender when they are put in a cell.
* '''The time taken to bring in an offender and the time taken when questioning the offender are NOT to be calculated into their issued timer.''' Timers begin when plugged in on a cell's console. However, offenders should be processed as quick as reasonably possible as-per their rights as employees within the colony.

=== Victim Rights ===

'''A victim holds the right to drop charges if the listed charge allows it.''' This would apply to charges such as: Assault, Theft, Trespass, or other 100 to 200-tier offenses. Victims may also collect monetary value equal to their losses from the offender in question, such as any incurring medical bills or loss of property. Both of these clauses are there to allow a victim peace of mind and to make sound decisions rather than being forced into court cases.

There are some exemptions, however. Such as in the case of any 'red paragraph crime', such as those equal to a 400-level “Exceptional” charge or a 500-level “Capital” charge. These charges include crimes such as attempted murder, manslaughter, grand theft, or the like and may '''not''' be dropped at any time by a victim. The reason being that these criminal acts extend further than creating a victim, but also threatening the lives of others. Officers 'may' take into account an offender’s circumstances and a victim's testimonial when deciding intent and timers but no dropping of charges may occur.

=== Fines & Timers ===

Some crimes may offer either a fine or a timer, or in some cases, 'both' a fine and a timer together. It is ultimately at the discretion of the arresting officer and/or the warrant-filer what the punishment for an offense should be.

Fines are ultimately recommended for most low-level crimes, if they are listed under the ‘timer’ section of the quick reference guide. If, however, an offender is non-cooperative, a repeat offender, or otherwise hindering an investigation a timer should be issued instead. Fines are to be paid to the Marshal department directly, while any compensation, such as to damaged property or medical fees, should be directed to the victim and/or the victim department.

Timers are to be decided by the senior authority, typically either a ranger or warrant officer. If in the case where neither are available then the arresting officer may decide. Timers should not exceed a maximum time allocated to the charge '''unless''' modifiers are added on; such as a repeat offender who would receive double the time. Timers 'may' be less than the allocated maximum time depending on circumstances and modifiers that would normally subtract time from one’s sentence, such as cooperation with security personnel or in cases of entrapment.

== Heads of Staff & Lower Council Law ==

'''Heads of staff are not above the law, and can be arrested by the marshals for breaking it.''' The 'only' time that the law can be overridden is when there is an imminent and overwhelming threat to the colony, such as during a Code Delta scenario.

'''A determination of no-wrongdoing may result in the dismissal of charges levied or a negating of any brig time served.''' Determinations of no-wrongdoing must be done by a Warrant Officer after an investigation, which must be faxed to the Office of the Provost Marshal, the Provost Marshal himself, or the colonies High Council. Any Warrant Officer found to abuse their authority to declare improper cases of no-wrongdoing may be demoted and arrested for exceeding their official power alongside other charges, such as falsifying information or providing false testimony.

A vote held by the Lower Council may also be used to indite some charges, such as abuse of power or charges related to disrupting the Low Council. Any crime that requires judgement, such as crimes labeled as 'HuJ' / Hold until Judgement, should be decided on in a timely manner by the Lower Council through a tribunal. A tribunal '''must''' follow the Legal Standard Operating Procedure to be considered legal. A tribunal must properly vote and may only be overturned by the High Council itself. It is ultimately up to the Lower Council if they wish for a proper legal court trial or to operate as they would a normal meeting, but one of the two options must be used.

The Low Council may opt to give timers over the normal-maximum, set specialty timers, or issue specific parole conditions via tribunal and deliberation if desired. These rulings may be overturned by the High Council if its conditions are found to be unreasonable or a violation of employee rights.

=== Legal Standard Operating Procedure ===

Tribunals are the main way major decisions are made aboard the station and the defendant does not have to be involved. There is not specified length for how long a tribunal must be. Basically it's the same as the old trial, but without a jury and slightly streamlined. An AI may fill in for a premier for tribunals and can be trusted to be accurate, however, an AI may not replace a premier for the purpose of voting for execution.

* '''Purpose:''' For crimes or decisions that require more than one person, or crimes where there is no set punishment.

* '''Overview:''' A minimum of three heads of staff must discuss this issue and vote on the outcome with a premier (or AI substitute) over seeing the tribunal.

* '''Process:''' The premier (or stand-in AI) should call the heads of staff for a tribunal with the situation and proposed outcome. This can be done formally in a meeting room, or informally over radio.

* '''Conviction:''' The tribunal must vote on the outcome, and the outcome must win by a majority vote (over 50%). If there is a tie, the premier's vote wins. For an execution to take place, the vote must be unanimous.

* '''Sentencing:''' If the vote passes, the outcome may be enacted, usually by the marshals. The decision can be appealed once by either the defendant or a volunteer.

==Salvaging Rights==

These laws will attempt to make clear what is, and is not salvage. Who has rights over what claims, the proper handling of claims and so fourth. These laws MUST be enforced by Nadezhda Marshals, or Blackshield, depending on the jurisdiction of the 'claim' and apply to all colonists of the Nadezdha Colony as well as Colony Allies and 'Neutral' third parties.
Basic salvage rights entail only the following caveats;
* Trash piles, unclaimed and clearly unowned items and storage containers are the rightful property of the 'first claimant'. A trash pile belongs to the first person to touch it, an abandoned locker to the first one to reach it, et cetera.
* Clearly owned property must be respected. A labeled cart, a gun who's serial is registered and thus known - these are considered personal property, and must be respected.
Additionally the following rules apply to all 'claims'
* If an item is stolen and then rediscovered in an area that would normally count as right-to-loot then it must be returned as it is their rightful property.
* Crime scenes. Any item taken from a crime scene is chargeable by theft, obstruction of duty, and suspicious conduct. A crime scene's boundaries will be clearly marked by tape set up by Marshals or Blackshield.
* Items dropped by colonists or allies due to severe injuries are their rightful property, and MUST be returned.
* The areas owned by colony allies or factions (such as Voidwolf ally Ships or the Soteria Solar Outpost), and clearly defined departmental zones are barred from allowing salvage claims.

===Types of Salvage Claims===
In summary, there are four types of salvage areas. Claimed, Unclaimed, disputed and free

*Claimed areas are those within colony borders(or the borders of colony allies) that have a lawful mandate placed over them, determined typically by the High Council, or at times low council. These locations are the claim-right of a particular faction, ally, et cetera. The FULL contents of these areas is the rightful claim of their respective owners, and any contents taken are effectively treated as their 'rightful property'. Though mere presence on a claim is not generally sufficient to result in charges, the removal of property from them(I.E scavving) is cause for charges of trespass, theft, and grand theft. Additionally, a modifier "Breach of salvage rights" should be applied to each of these charges and any items taken returned or, if not possible - their value owed in remediation.

*Unclaimed areas, while still within colony property, have no rightful claim placed on them, such claims may be enacted at the discretion of the High council, foreman and low council(in that order of importance), having to be properly ratified and faxed to be valid.

*Uncontested areas are new zones or uncertain zones that have no current claims. While they may be within the borders of the Colony or its Allies, they are generally free to loot so long as general scavenging rules are observed. Conflicts, theft and similar SHALL be punished by law.

*Free areas are neither within colony territory nor hold any special claim. These areas are typically considered 'free' of salvage rights and include but are not limited to; the untamed wilds past the colony border and space(and areas located within that do not fall under the purview of the previous types of claims).

===Known claims and their status===
*The Nadezdha colony maintains that the areas in its immediate vicinity, as well as the jungle directly south and the crater directly west are 'colony property' and not subject to claims by non-colony forces.

*Colony maintenance is 'unclaimed', thus only basic salvage rights must be respected.

*The Prospectors hold exclusive claims over the following areas; Greyson Positronics field offices and attached locations, this include the Greyson Positronics Gantlet. 'Preppers' bunker. 'Ironhead compound' Smuggler base. 'Zoo' research facility.

*The 'Scrap haven' is, as of now, a shared claim between the Prospectors and Hunters lodge - However, the Hunters Lodge has abdicated any right to lease their hold on the claim.

*The hunters Lodge holds exclusive claim over the following areas; The lodge itself and land upon which it sits, and the plains in the immediate vicinity of their lodge

*The 'Salvage Fields' are 'free' claims, though basic salvage rights should be respected.

*The assorted, smaller 'Points of Interest' in the immediate vicinity of the colony are 'uncontested'(E.G, scorched outpost, lost outpost, etc).

===Enforcement of Claims and Jurisdiction.===
As previously stated, it is the duty of Marshals and Blackshield to enforce salvaging rights - though they may vary on where their areas of jurisdiction come into play. 
Blackshield are largely expected to handle matters of salvage disputes where exterior forces threaten Nadezdha Colony(or upon request, colony allies) claims. Exterior factions attempted to jump claims owned by Prospectors should result in their dispatching. 
Marshals however are granted jurisdiction over legal matters of enforcement. Colonists jumping claims that are rightfully held should be charged accounting for the details of the matter. 
In the event where jurisdiction may be at question, it is important to remember that while the blackshield holds legal jurisdiction outside the perimeter fence - they are typically less oriented in the minutiae of law, and should they have to step in to enforce claims upon colonists past the walls they must hand over said colonists on return for processing by Marshals. 

===Additional Caveats===
*Salvage rights may, at the determination of their holder - be granted or leased. E.G, The Prospectors may, at the determination of the Foreman or Overboss Hogg grant rights over claims to other factions, allies, etc.
*The leasing of scav-rights by Foremen must, by order of Overboss Hogg be both A. reported to his office and either a cut of the total salvage or trade of 'equal value' taken. The Overboss adds that the job of prospectors is not to make friends, but to make money and that failure to properly extract value from such deals will result in consequences
*Though it is held that claimants have the right to defend their stake(with force if necessary) it is expected that Claimants use reasoned force in such and that the holding of such stakes be clearly communicated. E.G; A neutral party trespasses on a Colony claim, prospectors must clearly communicate that such a claim exists and offer opportunity for the claim-juimpers to return the stolen salvage and leave before force is used.

|}

=== Minor Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Thermals are considered contraband for all departments. Thermals are however permitted outside the colony or during a declared red alert level. This goes for the augmentations, glasses, helmets or rig-suit modules. The following items are considered thermals: Augmented shades, Thermo-nightvision helmets, Thermal goggles, Thermal augmentations and bioaugmentations. Along with any hardsuit modules that contain thermals.
** If either Church or Soteria provide to a colonist thermals illegally they are to be charged for minor contraband. If a Soteria staff continues to do so repeatedly, then they are to be demoted immediately. Heads of staff in Soteria or the Church continuing are to be detained, charged with abusing their executive powers, and demoted after a fax has been sent up to the faction leader.
** Permits can temporarily be issued by a Warrant Officer for their usage or transportation through the colony. Any surgical implantation of thermal augments by Soteria requires a properly written form signed by both the doctor and the Warrant Officer permitting such augments be used under Soteria's supervision.
* The shooting range is considered a testing zone for science. Items sent from science to the range for testing must be announced over general comms. In the instance of Soteria testing explosives up at the shooting range, it must be a device capable of small explosives only. Larger explosions are to be tested out in the mines.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered minor contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* All encryption keys that are not supplied to a colonists workplace are considered minor contraband. If sensitive or private information is gained through the use of encryption keys that a colonist should not have access to they should also be charged with violation of employee privacy. This is applied even if it was not the intent of the person using the encryption key. Legal access to an encryption key can be given by any employee of the faction or head of staff, but the head of staff reserves the right to remove any access to any non-employee at any time for any reason. Please note that allies and neutral factions may have their own encryption keys - these are not illegal and should never be taken away.
* ID cards that are modified to give access to a normal departmental area of the colony without head departmental permissions are considered contrband. If, however, this access is issued either by a relevant head of staff or during the case of an emergency no timer or charge should apply. Legal access may be given by a head of staff to their department to another employee at anytime but may also be revoked at any time at the discression of the issuing head of department.
* Any weapons confiscated as in violation of the colony's 'Long Arm Policy' are considered contraband items. They are to be logged and placed into storage effective immediately in accordance with SOP.

|}

=== Major Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Soteria may test combat mechs at a firing range or outside the colony but '''must''' announce any and all movements of where the mech will be moving. Including the starting point to the desired ending point of the travel. These mechs may '''not''' be left in public spaces or otherwise operated, apart from moving through, public spaces unless exemptions are provided in the case of an emergency by security personnel.
** Permits for a combat mech may be temporarily issued by a Warrant Officer to non-Soteria personnel. The [[Example_Paperwork#Item_Application|proper forms]] should be filled out and the mech either housed inside of the employee's designated department or within Soteria's mech bay when not being used. Transporting any combat mech of any kind must be announced over public comms and cannot be driven freely across the colony. This policy and associated paperwork applies to any mech, including those obtained through salvage.
** Non-standard combat mechs / Non-combat mechs rigged for combat are not legal to own nor may receive licenses for normal usage. However, during Code Red or Code Delta emergencies they may be utilized by security personnel or otherwise permitted to be used by personnel determined to be fit and trust worthy by security personnel. All jury rigged weapons should be removed after the state of emergency without exception.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered major contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* Bluespace harpoons, and other teleportation items, may be used for research purposes by Soteria institute personnel. However, this does not mean they can be transported openly nor used or otherwise utilized outside of Soteria research departmental grounds. If transported outside of the department major contraband charges are applicable. If misused to teleport and employee unwillingly, as teleportation can be incredibly dangerous if not life threatening, see §413 - Unwilling Teleportation.

==== Explosive Exemptions ====
Contraband explosives are considered, but not limited to: any device presently capable of causing wide-spread and reasonably uncontrolled damage. This includes, but is not limited to, frag grenades, incendiary grenades, EMP grenades, tank transfer bombs, explosives grenades, incendiary grenades, land mines, and other similar objects capable of replicating any of the listed items effects. Items such as non-explosive flashbangs, smoke grenades, or cleaning grenades are not considered explosives. An oxygen tank, transfer valve, plasma tank, or scrap rifle with its safety measures enable would not count individually as explosives, only if the devices were within reasonable proximity and had steps taken to allow them to be used as explosives. I.E. a scrap rifle with its safety systems off is contraband, a persons bag containing heated plasma tanks, oxygen tanks, and transfer valves would be reasonably considered an explosive object. This exception only applies if the objects are, viably, capable of causing an explosion, if the plasma tank and oxygen tanks are empty and cannot explode it would not be considered contraband. Best and reasonable judgment applies.

Exceptions to the above clause may only be found in four cases:

1. The Marshals and Blackshield may use whatever explosives they require to perform their duties during a code blue or higher scenario. Responsibility for all damage to persons or property are the sole responsibility of the individual using the explosive devices. Low-yield grenades and small-arms explosive ordinance, such as grenade launcher rounds, may be tested at Marshal or Blackshield ranges with proper notification that explosives will be fired at the specified range.

2. Soteria Research may use any manner of explosives in the pursuit of research, the determination of what is considered ‘research’ is left to the sole discretion of the chief research overseer or, in the event one is not present, the biolab overseer. If neither is present, a low council vote is required to determine if the pursuit of research is considered scientific.

3. Prospectors may carry and use explosives outside colony walls at their discretion, provided the explosive do not damage colony property or other persons from the colony or colony allies. Prospectors must hold all explosives within their department or with security in either the gate house or armory. The transportation of explosives should always be announced publicly, similar to the transport of rifle class firearms.
In the event a prospectors wishes to sell explosive devices, be it to Soteria or Lonestar, this must be done with a member of the blackshield or marshal present and in the lobby of the respective department. In this scenario the explosive(s) must be stored in the buying department immediately. A form and record of the transaction should be recorded by security and filed with the WO, premier, sergeant, commander, and supply specialist.

4. Permits '''may''' be written for temporary explosive usage within determined location at the descression of the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist. Examples would be the allowance of Lonestar mining personnel to make use of small-yield explosive devices in mining operations, or temporary permits for Church for the transport of grenades for use in Deep Maintenance.

Failure to comply with the above section can and will result in the applicable charges and fines as expected by discretion of security personnel. This may include, but is not directly required to, charges of major contraband or negligence. In the event the explosive device is misused this may be upgraded to additional charges of terrorism, manslaughter, or murder. Improperly stored explosives that are stolen may confer charges both to the individual who stole and misused them and the individual who failed to properly safe keep the explosive devices, in this event both individuals receive the same charges regardless of fault.

Reasonable storage of an explosive device is determined by security discretion but the following factors should be considered when determining what is reasonable.

Was the device in a locked container such as a secure locker, secure briefcase, safe, secure crate, or wall locker?

Was the device and potential containers holding it secured behind access locked doors?

Was the location of the device(s) kept discrete and related information on a need to know basis?

All Excelsior-branded technology should either be put into evidence by the Marshal department, if it is used in the conduction of a crime, or destroyed. No department may receive permission nor contraband licensing to use or otherwise utilize Excelsior technology unless an exemption is given by the High Council itself.
** Soteria Science may be handed Excelsior tech as a means of destruction. Soteria Science may not preform experiments with Excelsior tech but they may use it in a destructive analyzer to be used in the production and research of non-Excelsior technology.
** Guild may be handed Excelsior tech to be deconstructed as a means of useful destruction of Excelsior branded technology. Guild may not use nor utilize Excelsior technology itself but they may break it down in either their department's industrial autolathe or through their department's nanoforge machine.
** Marshals may utilize their Nanite Reconstructor in the armory to break down Excelsior weapons or armor. However tech like Excelsior branded cells or computer-components will not be able to be broken down by said machine. Personnel must find an alternative for those deconstruction methods.

== Modifiers & Special Situations ==
These may reduce or increase your sentence depending on circumstances relating to the crimes committed.
{| style="text-align:center; background-color:#aaffaa;" width="950px" border="1" cellspacing="0"
! style="background-color:#55ff55; width=100px" |Modifier
! style="background-color:#55ff55;" |Description
! style="background-color:#55ff55;" |Effect
|-
|'''Cooperation with Prosecution or Security'''
| To aid members of colony security, reveal evidence willingly during processing and/or provide names of accomplices involved in the charged offense.
| 25% to 50% timer reduction.
|-
|'''Surrender'''
| To willingly surrender oneself to security staff; either by the means of bringing oneself to the brig or, in a hostile situation, laying down arms and following direct orders.
| 25% to 50% timer reduction.

Execution may not be issued to those who have surrendered. Crimes worth of Holding until Transfer may be overturned at WO discretion.

|-
|'''Self Defense'''
| To have acted in the defense of oneself; ranging from physical injury of the attacker to death of the attacking party.

For this modifier to apply the party MUST have acted in defense; they are not required to retreat if there is credible threat that the attacking party may harm them or others.

The weapon used and lethality of used ammunition or weapon should be taken into account by the arresting officers to determine this modifier.
| Immediate Release.
|-
|'''Good Samaritan Clause'''
|To act in what one, or any other reasonable person, would believe is in good faith and with due caution and regards for the safety of others. Including in the defense of a person’s life or to act if another person is in imminent threat of serious injury and/or death. Failure to comply with an investigation of any crimes is not considered a “Good Samaritan” as it falls out of the category of a ‘reasonable person’.

Examples include pulling a gun to rescue a colonist from hostile lifeforms, breaking a department’s window to pull out a colonist, etc. A ‘Good Samaritan’ does not do such acts for financial compensation; any exchanging of goods for the service is no longer covered by such a modifier. Acts found to be without reason, or with flawed logic (I.e misinterpreting calls for help, ignorance of a situation or ‘over-escalation’ of a tense situation) do not count as reasonable actions and are thus not protected by this clause.
| Immediate Release, with all charges (barring that of Friendly Fire) being dropped against the individual.
|-
|'''Victim in a Willfully Dangerous Position'''
| For a victim to have willingly consented to put themselves into a dangerous situation such as volunteering in the name of science or to insert themselves into a dangerous situation that is not inherently suicidal.

When charging the offender the victims willingness to insert themselves into a dangerous situation should be taken into offense.

| Immediate release or 50% timer reduction on the offender.
|-
|'''Violation of Resident Privacy'''
| To be charged with evidence obtained via illegal means; such as through the use of thermal/X-ray vision, searches without a proper legal warrant or any other such violation of privacy.

Further examples include cases of trumped-up charges as an excuse for a search in hopes of finding contraband.
| All charged crimes or cases of contraband should be immediately dropped.

The arresting officer should be charged with Violation of Employee Rights for infractions on privacy.

|-
|'''Entrapment'''
| To be charged with a crime the offender was induced to commit by a fellow colonist and, without their help, either would not have or could not have committed.

Other forms of entrapment may vary; such as officers placing objects in public areas and waiting for them to be stolen or other colony residents operating similar traps.

| Charges should be either reduced by up to 50% on the offender or charges should be completely dropped.

In cases of security operated entrapment offenses the officers running the operation should be charged with Violation of Employee Rights.

|-
|'''Repeat Offender'''
| To be charged with the same crime/violation.

Examples include repeat offenses of vandalism, assault or contraband distribution.

| For each repeat offense the timer for the crime should be multiplied by 2. 20 minutes would become 40 minutes, etc. This also goes for fines. This only is applied for repeated crimes on the same shift.

Once a timer reaches 90 in the case of repeat crimes the offender should instead be held until shift transfer

|-
|'''Offense by Colony Command'''
|To be a member of the colony's command structure, including Steward and Premier, and to be convicted of any Moderate or high level charges.
|Immediate demotion, in addition to other penalties levied for the charge.

Note: A fax should immediately be sent to the High Council upon the offender’s demotion.
|-
|'''Immediate Threat or Severe Health Threat to the Prisoner'''
| To be arrested or in prison in the brig during an emergency which may negatively impact the offender’s health.
| The prisoner must be relocated to a safe location. In the case where a safe location cannot be found the offender must be immediately released.

If the prisoner is serving time until transfer or until judgement their charge must be reapplied after the emergency situation has ended.

|-
|'''Medical Treatment'''
| Any injured prisoner may have this modifier applied to them. Under SoP prisoners are allowed and should be provided medical attention if sick or injured.
| Medical personnel should be called to brig or the prisoner may be treated by an officer with proper knowledge in brig medbay.

In cases of needed surgery or serious injury medical staff must be called and the prisoner escorted to medbay to undergo treatment.

Brig timer is to be left running during this unless in the case of self-harm; in which the timer should be paused until the prisoner is escorted back to their cell.

|-
|'''Forced Labor'''
|To be a prisoner opting and consenting to do unpaid labor in return to lower their timer or repay their debts.
|The person holding the debt, such as a victim of theft, should determine the debt before the prisoner starts his forced labor sentence. Cargo scanners may also be used upon Lonestar’s consent to price the value of an object and repay the debt by turning in valuables equal to that of the debt.

A marshal or trooper should supervise the debtor if possible. If not the debtor may be charged with Resisting Arrest and placed back in brig until their debt can be paid as per Defaulting on a Debt charge.

|-
|'''Use of psionic powers'''
|To use psionic powers to commit a crime of any kind. Note, the person must use their powers in aid of a crime, not simply be a psion or capable of using psionic powers.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a psion used their powers to commit a crime, however, due to the nature of psionic powers being easy to remove, hard evidence is not required. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the psion would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their powers removed via cranial surgery. Use of sedatives to prevent active power use before surgery is suggested. A psion using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their psionic powers should be removed before being defibbed.

|-
|'''Conflicts with Lifeline Technicians'''
|To attempt to take a patient from a Lifeline Technician, whether by lawful and legal arrest or other reasons which then resulted in armed conflict.
|This situation involves anyone, including Marshals, attempting to take a patient from a Lifeline Technician and then being disabled by said Lifeline Technician or attacking them when they try to get their patient back. In this circumstance, an investigation should be had to ensure the Lifeline Technician followed all procedure involved. If they cannot be proven to have violated procedure, they cannot be charged for disabling someone attempting to take their patient. '''This includes Marshals, up to and including Warrant Officers, being disabled for attempting to take a patient.''' Investigating officers should consider charging those who come into conflict with Lifeline Technicians with appropriate fines.

|-
|'''Crime by AI/Cyborg'''
|For Colony AI or Cyborg to commit actions that are criminal in the eyes of the law.
|This refers to either the colony AI or the colony cyborgs. In the instance that they have committed a crime, Marshals are to operate as per normal. Soteria is to cooperate with the Marshals in regards of these matters, to see if the AI or Cyborg are malfunctioning before allowing them to be arrested. Cyborgs can have their MMIs removed and tossed into a cell to serve the appropriate amount of time, or Soteria can choose to pay for their fine. The same goes for the AI, however, a warrant is specifically required to enter its core, and Soteria personnel should accompany them to ensure matters are handled peacefully. Squads of Marshals or Shields should not be going into the core unless the AI in question is malfunctioning and/or hostile. Card the AI and toss it into the cell, much like the borgs. Once they have served their time, return them to their proper vessels. However, if it is found that these actions were done with bad evidence or in bad faith, the Marshals responsible will be charged with §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding), with possible demotion.

As a further note, the AI and Cyborgs cannot open high access areas unless in a state of emergency, for example, the Marshal, Blackshield, or Command armory. The only other time they can open such areas is to clear out infestations and nothing more.

|-
| '''Use of Genetic Enhancements'''
|To utilize any genetic enhancement to commit a crime of any kind. Note, in regards of some enhancements, the person must use them in aid of a crime, not simply be genetically enhanced or capable of using key genetic enhancements.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a genetically enhanced individual used their capabilities, unless said capabilities were passively running. However, due to the nature of genetic splicing being easy to remove with mutagenic purgers from Soteria, hard evidence is not required, albeit Soteria should have provided information that said individual was enhanced in a timely manner. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the individual would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their enhancements removed via mutagenic purger. A enhanced individual using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their genetic enhancements are to be removed immediately. Furthermore, the individual can be barred from Soteria genetics as a result of this modifier for the shift.

== Quick Reference Guide ==
This table is to describe crimes on a charge severity basis. In regards to crime stacking; crimes with the same ending numbers '''CAN NOT''' be stacked unless stated otherwise within the crimes description.

Examples include: You cannot charge someone with both 101 and 401; Vandalism and Sabotage. One cannot be charged with 104 and 204; Battery and Assault.

Proper charges, for example, would be as such: Offender charged with 108 for trespassing into a department, 105 for stealing an item from the department and 204 for attacking an employee trying to stop them non-violently.

| §203
|Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding
|To arrest, brig, or punish an employee without proper cause or reason, or in violation of due process rights such as Habeas Corpus.
|This is mainly for marshal officers who believe they are THE LAW. Also applies to kidnapping. Excessive/disproportionate time spent processing or questioning may fall under this category for minor crimes.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion at the decision of the WO.

|-
| §204
|Assault
|To cause physical harm or mild injury to another employee, or brandishing a deadly weapon with the intent of causing or threatening such an injury.
|Anything beyond a few punches like in '''Battery'''. It has to be bad enough that a few bandages or pills won't fix it. This also includes poisoning with drugs, or using hallucinogens. Use of non-lethal ammunition, or other less-than-lethal means, without just cause counts as assault.

See ‘’’Aggravated Assault’’’ if any lethal ammunition are used, or if the victim suffers a broken bone or notable life-threatening hospitalization.

|Refusing handcuffs is not resisting arrest. Refusing handcuffs and refusing to come to the brig is resisting arrest. So is pushing the officer trying to arrest you, or running away. Actively hiding or running away is what this law is for.

An officer should take into account their reason for not reporting to security immediately as well. For example, a guild master trying to stop the engine from exploding probably shouldn't be charged with resisting arrest if they ignore the fact that security wants to give them a vandalism fine for breaking a wall earlier.

Likewise, if anyone in security has threatened them with harm, not just arrest, they're somewhat justified in hiding.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

|Severely injuring someone attacking you or others with no obvious threat to life, or panicking and shooting a suspect to near-death. Subjects who cannot be cuffed and have their legs broken as a result do not count if the subject refused to comply after 3 warnings and a witness is available to confirm each warning.
|Timer of no more than 40 minutes.

|-
| §311
|Breach of Salvage Rights
|To violate salvage rights by means of theft, 'claim jumping', or otherwise taking undue action against a rightful claimant.
|The consideration of the stolen item(s) value should be taken into account when issuing this charge. This charge may ```NOT``` be placed alongside any theft or grand-theft charges.

|-
| §312
|Animal Cruelty

|Monkeys appropriately used for experiments or crew well-being (e.g genetics, virology, weapon testing, etc.) don't count. Shoving them in washing machines, or throwing them through disposals while still alive falls under this. Using them as food is a grey area; cows are generally fine, but monkey cubes and the like probably aren't.

Creatures typically considered pests (those that are by default hostile such as roaches or spiders) are not protected under this law if they aren't being kept in private areas such as personal dorms, or are fully tamed by a colonist. Tamed in this case means that they will not attack other colonists, or damage colony infrastructure.

All members of the colony are required to have fully detailed employment, security, and medical records at all times. Failure to have them is considered a crime.

Colonists without records lose all rights and are to be treated as hostile infiltrators, though for obvious reasons, should be detained peacefully.(Small inconsistencies are allowed, but encouraged to remedy when able.)

Record requirements can be seen on the [[Example_Paperwork#Character_Records|Character Records]] section of Example Paperwork.

Failure to have nanogates, or psionics in your records will result in an automatic 311 charge.
|HuT, unless the offending person wishes to cryo or take the lower colony elevator to fix their records, after which they may return to the surface level.

|-
| §413
|Unwilling Teleportation
|To teleport a person, with either psionic powers or bluespace technology, who is unwilling or does not consent to the testing of such equipment on themself.
|Teleportation devices used by non-sicence members count as '''Major Contraband'''. If a person does not consent actively to be teleported by another person, such as through a harpoon or portal-throwing, etc - this charge applies.
|A timer of no more than 90 minutes may be issued. If the victim dies as a means of this teleportation, see '''Murder''' or '''Manslaughter'''.

If the victim is hurt during the teleportation, or in result of it, see '''Assault'''.

The offender is to be demoted upon sentencing for the crime.

| §501
|Terrorism
|To engage in maliciously destructive actions, which seriously threaten the residents of the colony or even the colony's integrity as a whole.
|This includes deliberate arson, hostage taking, use of bombs, release of singularity, etc. In cases of terrorism, the provost marshal must be informed.
|Holding until Judgement.

Execution is encouraged; especially if deaths are caused by the action.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §502
|Mutiny
|To openly rebel against or attempt to remove command staff with violent intent to remove the command staff from power.
|One’s motive is important. If someone is just angry at a head of staff and murders them in a fit of rage, that's just regular murder. On the other hand, trying to take over the colony through violent means, lethal or not, is mutiny.
|Holding until Judgement.

Execution is an option.

|-
| §504
|Murder or Attempted Murder
|To willfully and intentionally kill or attempt to kill someone. To prevent a rightful revival or else render someone unrevivable through clear action.
|Clear intent is needed to prove a case of murder over manslaughter. While Manslaughter is unintentionally causing death through accident, or unintended consequences, Murder is a purposeful act with the intent to take the life of another.

Attempts to cover up an incident of Manslaughter may necessitate a charge of murder due to pre/post meditative evidence.
Additionally, should proof positive be obtained that indicates premeditation the penalty should be automatically adjusted to H.U.T and the low council should convene to determine if more extreme penalties are warranted, up to and including execution.

|If the victim is able to be revived a timer of no less than 90 minutes may be issued. The Council may meet to determine if this sentence be should be upgraded to HuT.

If the victim is deemed unable to be revived, such as through the destruction of a brain or body, execution may be issued at the behest of the Council.

Colony residents who commit murder '''should not be revived''' if they die unless stated otherwise by the Council.

|-
| §505
|Espionage
|To gain access to in-house or proprietary Designs, Documents, Programs, or otherwise vital assets of a Colony Faction or one of the Colony's allies.
|Whether by theft, trespass, or buying such items without the departmental head's explicitly written and shown permission.

Note that this does '''NOT''' include stealing items themselves, such as constructed Guild items or items purchased through the Lonestar Trade System -- only the theft of the program itself or the designs to make more of the Guild's items, or otherwise.

|Hold until Transfer. The stolen proprietary assets should be returned to the faction or ally they were stolen from immediately unless they are directly required to be used as evidence in a tribunal. Any items gathered or created with the proprietary assets should be given to the faction or ally as well.

|-
| §508
|Grand Trespass
|To trespass into an area of high security such as an AI upload or the Marshal armory without any reason to be there; especially when a head of staff or personnel with access to said area is present.
|This does not apply to emergency situations in which a staff member may not be active. In rare cases, such as a code red incident, it may be required that staff without access enter secure areas. This requires '''proper reasoning''' such as a case of imminent threat to the colony itself or it’s inheritance; such as from a rogue AI or hostile invasion.
|Holding until Transfer.

|-
| §509
|Escaping from HuT Sentence
|To attempt or successfully escape from the brig or other holding area when serving a holding until transfer sentence.
|The offender must have been properly judged by tribunal for holding until transfer to be legally issued.
|Execution.

A tribunal is not required under this circumstance, and is the only case where this is currently so.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §510
|Wrongful Execution
|To execute a crew member who later turned out to be innocent.
|This only counts when a tribunal was held and the order was given to execute someone based on faulty or poor evidence that is later debunked by additional evidence. If the tribunal process is skipped, or is carried out incorrectly such as having no premier sign off, then murder is added to the charges.

The warrant officer is punished and any individuals who deliberately produced false evidence are charged with '''Murder'''. Those who unintentionally provided incorrect evidence are charged with '''Manslaughter''' and '''Negligence'''.

It is also required to contact provost marshal Boris Kilmeade if this happens.

|Immediate demotion, suspension from command for a time determined by the High Council and holding until transfer.

Provost Marshal Boris Kilmeade may overrule or specify specifics to this punishment/timer.

|-
| §512
|Slavery
|To force someone to work for no payment through force, threats or purposefully neglecting to pay them. To abuse someone and hold them against their will is also applicable; see §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding).
|This charge does not apply to the modifier '''Forced Labor''' unless it extends over 2 hours or is otherwise stated.

It is very possible that other charges may apply as the person might have been abused in some way or held against their will as well as robbed of their personal belongings. Make sure to charge the individual with all crimes committed.

|Timer of up to 60 minutes may be issued or, in cases where other crimes put the timer over 90 minutes, HuT may be issued.

|-
| §513
|Sexual Assault
|To assault, or attempt to assault, someone else sexually, including rape.
|This charge exists as a means to handle non-con scenes ICly, such as but not limited to: A player OOCly not consenting to a scene and reporting it. '''A-help staff when dealing with these charges.'''
|Permanent removal from the colony or execution.

== Commentaries and Clarifications ==
* '''Common Areas''': Generally understood to be publicly accessible areas of the colony that are owned and maintained by the colony rather than as part of an individual department.
* '''Lethal Firearm''': A gun loaded or set to a fire mode that's main purpose is to inflict damage to put someone into a critical conduction and or kill. Rubbers when shot out of a gun that has mods to inflict additional damage onto the bullet itself automatically count as lethal.
* '''Cyborgification''' The removal of a person's brain for transplanting into a Cyborg Chassis as an alternative to execution. A prisoner who is sentenced to execution must request or consent to this.
* '''Dismissal''': Changing ID title to "Dismissed", which has zero access. Requires the judgement of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Demotion''': Can be demoted down to and including Assistant position. Requires the judgment of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Employee''': Employee of the colony, as defined by the colonies commanding officers. All non-employee subjects are not protected by these laws.
* '''Empowering''': Illegal acquiring (not via Head of Personnel or Colony Director) of access.
* '''Execution''': Prisoner is killed via means of firing squad, lethal injection, or other means. It is required for the premier to be present or an execution may not proceed. It is required to offer the prisoner the option of how they prefer to die. They should also be offered a last meal. It is not required to follow these preferences if they are deemed unreasonable or impossible. In all cases of execution, respective faction owners should be informed of the execution and the crimes leading up to it. (( A PK may be applicable in this situation. See [[Permanent Death]] for OOC details. ))
* '''Head of Staff''': Crew members occupying one of the following positions: Premier, Guild Master, Blackshield Commander, Warrant Officer, Chief Biolab Overseer, Chief Research Overseer, Chief Executive Officer.
* '''Imminent Peril''': A situation in which there is an apparent and immediate threat of serious injury or death, and it is not possible to escape this threat. Obvious examples are shooting someone trying to stab people. A less obvious example is shooting someone trying to sabotage Atmospherics. Lethal force is justified in such a situation because there's no other options remaining.
* '''HuJ / Holding Until Judgement''': Held (in the brig) until a tribunal is done, or the shift ends. Whichever happens first.
* '''HuT / Holding Until Transfer''': Held (in the brig) until the shift ends. This becomes HuJ when a tribunal is being held for the prisoner.
* '''Severe Injury''': A state in which the victim is in a critical condition and is having difficulty maintaining consciousness.

Demotion and dismissal also require the removal of equipment from the previous job. Uniforms, weapons, bombs, PDA cartridges, etc.

For the purposes of Cyborg/AI laws, crew members that have been convicted, or are being held in detention, are considered to be below even the AI/Cyborgs in terms of rank.

Serving sentences in jail can be replaced with forced labor in some cases.

In cases where the final sentence is more than 90 minutes, it is changed to holding until judgment.

The standard penalty can be applied without a tribunal by Security Officers. Tribunals can assign lesser or higher ones, depending on the circumstances.

== OOC Notes ==
* It's vital to know that the involvement of faction owners means involvement of admins. However, if that happens, admins will try to keep in character. Ergo, the character is '''not''' going to magically know attack logs or fingerprints or anything else they don't know IC, because it's like playing a game with cheat codes. It's fun to screw off for a little while, but then it's going to get really boring.
** The above also applies in the case of admins playing normal security.
** The only exception to the above is in the case of potentially removing a character from the station. See [[Permanent Death]] for details. Admins are not going to PK someone who they know OOCly didn't actually do the crime. If you are guilty though an a execution happens, the chance of permanent removal is extremely high. Contact an admin to find out if an executed character has been removed forever.
* '''Laws ARE NOT RULES for the server itself!''' That means, so long as you have a believable in-character motive for breaking these regulations, you won't get banned for it, especially if good roleplay is your end goal. Conversely, if you're just going around smashing windows for shits and giggles, you're ''obviously'' going to get yelled at by an admin. See [[Rules|the actual server rules]] for more details.

Laws

2023-01-30T21:50:40Z

Rebel0: /* Excelsior Equipment / Excelsior Contraband */

The colony laws are a series of regulations that all interest groups on the High Council have agreed to, applying them broadly to all colonists inside the colony. The colony’s Marshals are expected to uphold and enforce these laws, and all departments are expected to follow them. This is not a general guide to security. All new marshals should review the official [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]]. It is important to know that all offenses listed below should be followed as a ‘guideline’ by law enforcement personnel and do allow for victim rights and alternative solutions to minor offenses. For example, you are not required to give a sentence if the problem can be resolved in an alternative way that the suspect agrees to, such as an agreement with the victim in return for not pressing charges, or peer mediation. To understand how to go about a proper arrest, or other clarifications such as prisoner rights, alert levels, and more, see [[Standard Operating Procedure]]. Note that Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is enforced via the head of staff. To be charged with a violation of SOP, a head of staff has to request a relevant charge be levied, such as denial of a reasonable order.

'''Law's protections, and rights only apply to colonists and colony allies. Visitors, outsiders, and groups unconnected to the colony have no rights and therefore no protections under the law.'''

== Interpretation of the Law ==
'''<big>All colony law is subject to the standard of INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. No one is to ever be assumed guilty, evidence must be presented that reasonably proves guilt.</big>'''

A good working knowledge of the law is important for any person on the station. It can be the difference between a shiny pair of handcuffs and sipping drinks in the bar. More in-depth interpretations of the law are required for such positions as the ranger, officer, premier, and the warrant officer. For certain crimes, the accused party's intent is important. Intent can be the difference between a charge such as, say, manslaughter and murder. One requires purposeful intent, the other is unintentional and typically caused by negligence or workplace accident. It is also important to note that manslaughter and murder are mutually exclusive. This indicates that an individual must be charged with one or the other, not both. Neither could someone be charged with both assault and murder on an individual if there is only a single victim, the higher-grade charge must be the charge applied in that case.

All of this will be explained in detail as you read on, including specialty clauses, cases, guides, and explanations to how a Marshal or servant of the law should think when interpreting legal issues such as criminal acts or disputes.

Here are a few basic to-know bullet points for officers:
* '''To ensure you, as an arresting officer, don't fall into the trap of negligence or misuse of power, always follow procedure where possible as detailed by [[Standard_Operating_Procedure#Marshals|standard operating procedure]].'''
* As an arresting officer, follow the [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]] to ensure you don't fall foul of legal proceedings.
* In the case of pressed charges being in the same category (i.e Battery, Assault, Murder - or Vandalism, Theft, Grand Theft) take only the most severe charge. Any lesser charges in this case should not be applied.
* A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took 3 items off someone, this is a single count of theft. Otherwise this would count as 'crime-stacking', which is against SOP and law.
* When deciding on a timer for multiple crimes committed, take each crime into consideration separately. Then add the times together to get a final concise timer. This should be the timer issued to an offender when they are put in a cell.
* '''The time taken to bring in an offender and the time taken when questioning the offender are NOT to be calculated into their issued timer.''' Timers begin when plugged in on a cell's console. However, offenders should be processed as quick as reasonably possible as-per their rights as employees within the colony.

=== Victim Rights ===

'''A victim holds the right to drop charges if the listed charge allows it.''' This would apply to charges such as: Assault, Theft, Trespass, or other 100 to 200-tier offenses. Victims may also collect monetary value equal to their losses from the offender in question, such as any incurring medical bills or loss of property. Both of these clauses are there to allow a victim peace of mind and to make sound decisions rather than being forced into court cases.

There are some exemptions, however. Such as in the case of any 'red paragraph crime', such as those equal to a 400-level “Exceptional” charge or a 500-level “Capital” charge. These charges include crimes such as attempted murder, manslaughter, grand theft, or the like and may '''not''' be dropped at any time by a victim. The reason being that these criminal acts extend further than creating a victim, but also threatening the lives of others. Officers 'may' take into account an offender’s circumstances and a victim's testimonial when deciding intent and timers but no dropping of charges may occur.

=== Fines & Timers ===

Some crimes may offer either a fine or a timer, or in some cases, 'both' a fine and a timer together. It is ultimately at the discretion of the arresting officer and/or the warrant-filer what the punishment for an offense should be.

Fines are ultimately recommended for most low-level crimes, if they are listed under the ‘timer’ section of the quick reference guide. If, however, an offender is non-cooperative, a repeat offender, or otherwise hindering an investigation a timer should be issued instead. Fines are to be paid to the Marshal department directly, while any compensation, such as to damaged property or medical fees, should be directed to the victim and/or the victim department.

Timers are to be decided by the senior authority, typically either a ranger or warrant officer. If in the case where neither are available then the arresting officer may decide. Timers should not exceed a maximum time allocated to the charge '''unless''' modifiers are added on; such as a repeat offender who would receive double the time. Timers 'may' be less than the allocated maximum time depending on circumstances and modifiers that would normally subtract time from one’s sentence, such as cooperation with security personnel or in cases of entrapment.

== Heads of Staff & Lower Council Law ==

'''Heads of staff are not above the law, and can be arrested by the marshals for breaking it.''' The 'only' time that the law can be overridden is when there is an imminent and overwhelming threat to the colony, such as during a Code Delta scenario.

'''A determination of no-wrongdoing may result in the dismissal of charges levied or a negating of any brig time served.''' Determinations of no-wrongdoing must be done by a Warrant Officer after an investigation, which must be faxed to the Office of the Provost Marshal, the Provost Marshal himself, or the colonies High Council. Any Warrant Officer found to abuse their authority to declare improper cases of no-wrongdoing may be demoted and arrested for exceeding their official power alongside other charges, such as falsifying information or providing false testimony.

A vote held by the Lower Council may also be used to indite some charges, such as abuse of power or charges related to disrupting the Low Council. Any crime that requires judgement, such as crimes labeled as 'HuJ' / Hold until Judgement, should be decided on in a timely manner by the Lower Council through a tribunal. A tribunal '''must''' follow the Legal Standard Operating Procedure to be considered legal. A tribunal must properly vote and may only be overturned by the High Council itself. It is ultimately up to the Lower Council if they wish for a proper legal court trial or to operate as they would a normal meeting, but one of the two options must be used.

The Low Council may opt to give timers over the normal-maximum, set specialty timers, or issue specific parole conditions via tribunal and deliberation if desired. These rulings may be overturned by the High Council if its conditions are found to be unreasonable or a violation of employee rights.

=== Legal Standard Operating Procedure ===

Tribunals are the main way major decisions are made aboard the station and the defendant does not have to be involved. There is not specified length for how long a tribunal must be. Basically it's the same as the old trial, but without a jury and slightly streamlined. An AI may fill in for a premier for tribunals and can be trusted to be accurate, however, an AI may not replace a premier for the purpose of voting for execution.

* '''Purpose:''' For crimes or decisions that require more than one person, or crimes where there is no set punishment.

* '''Overview:''' A minimum of three heads of staff must discuss this issue and vote on the outcome with a premier (or AI substitute) over seeing the tribunal.

* '''Process:''' The premier (or stand-in AI) should call the heads of staff for a tribunal with the situation and proposed outcome. This can be done formally in a meeting room, or informally over radio.

* '''Conviction:''' The tribunal must vote on the outcome, and the outcome must win by a majority vote (over 50%). If there is a tie, the premier's vote wins. For an execution to take place, the vote must be unanimous.

* '''Sentencing:''' If the vote passes, the outcome may be enacted, usually by the marshals. The decision can be appealed once by either the defendant or a volunteer.

==Salvaging Rights==

These laws will attempt to make clear what is, and is not salvage. Who has rights over what claims, the proper handling of claims and so fourth. These laws MUST be enforced by Nadezhda Marshals, or Blackshield, depending on the jurisdiction of the 'claim' and apply to all colonists of the Nadezdha Colony as well as Colony Allies and 'Neutral' third parties.
Basic salvage rights entail only the following caveats;
* Trash piles, unclaimed and clearly unowned items and storage containers are the rightful property of the 'first claimant'. A trash pile belongs to the first person to touch it, an abandoned locker to the first one to reach it, et cetera.
* Clearly owned property must be respected. A labeled cart, a gun who's serial is registered and thus known - these are considered personal property, and must be respected.
Additionally the following rules apply to all 'claims'
* If an item is stolen and then rediscovered in an area that would normally count as right-to-loot then it must be returned as it is their rightful property.
* Crime scenes. Any item taken from a crime scene is chargeable by theft, obstruction of duty, and suspicious conduct. A crime scene's boundaries will be clearly marked by tape set up by Marshals or Blackshield.
* Items dropped by colonists or allies due to severe injuries are their rightful property, and MUST be returned.
* The areas owned by colony allies or factions (such as Voidwolf ally Ships or the Soteria Solar Outpost), and clearly defined departmental zones are barred from allowing salvage claims.

===Types of Salvage Claims===
In summary, there are four types of salvage areas. Claimed, Unclaimed, disputed and free

*Claimed areas are those within colony borders(or the borders of colony allies) that have a lawful mandate placed over them, determined typically by the High Council, or at times low council. These locations are the claim-right of a particular faction, ally, et cetera. The FULL contents of these areas is the rightful claim of their respective owners, and any contents taken are effectively treated as their 'rightful property'. Though mere presence on a claim is not generally sufficient to result in charges, the removal of property from them(I.E scavving) is cause for charges of trespass, theft, and grand theft. Additionally, a modifier "Breach of salvage rights" should be applied to each of these charges and any items taken returned or, if not possible - their value owed in remediation.

*Unclaimed areas, while still within colony property, have no rightful claim placed on them, such claims may be enacted at the discretion of the High council, foreman and low council(in that order of importance), having to be properly ratified and faxed to be valid.

*Uncontested areas are new zones or uncertain zones that have no current claims. While they may be within the borders of the Colony or its Allies, they are generally free to loot so long as general scavenging rules are observed. Conflicts, theft and similar SHALL be punished by law.

*Free areas are neither within colony territory nor hold any special claim. These areas are typically considered 'free' of salvage rights and include but are not limited to; the untamed wilds past the colony border and space(and areas located within that do not fall under the purview of the previous types of claims).

===Known claims and their status===
*The Nadezdha colony maintains that the areas in its immediate vicinity, as well as the jungle directly south and the crater directly west are 'colony property' and not subject to claims by non-colony forces.

*Colony maintenance is 'unclaimed', thus only basic salvage rights must be respected.

*The Prospectors hold exclusive claims over the following areas; Greyson Positronics field offices and attached locations, this include the Greyson Positronics Gantlet. 'Preppers' bunker. 'Ironhead compound' Smuggler base. 'Zoo' research facility.

*The 'Scrap haven' is, as of now, a shared claim between the Prospectors and Hunters lodge - However, the Hunters Lodge has abdicated any right to lease their hold on the claim.

*The hunters Lodge holds exclusive claim over the following areas; The lodge itself and land upon which it sits, and the plains in the immediate vicinity of their lodge

*The 'Salvage Fields' are 'free' claims, though basic salvage rights should be respected.

*The assorted, smaller 'Points of Interest' in the immediate vicinity of the colony are 'uncontested'(E.G, scorched outpost, lost outpost, etc).

===Enforcement of Claims and Jurisdiction.===
As previously stated, it is the duty of Marshals and Blackshield to enforce salvaging rights - though they may vary on where their areas of jurisdiction come into play. 
Blackshield are largely expected to handle matters of salvage disputes where exterior forces threaten Nadezdha Colony(or upon request, colony allies) claims. Exterior factions attempted to jump claims owned by Prospectors should result in their dispatching. 
Marshals however are granted jurisdiction over legal matters of enforcement. Colonists jumping claims that are rightfully held should be charged accounting for the details of the matter. 
In the event where jurisdiction may be at question, it is important to remember that while the blackshield holds legal jurisdiction outside the perimeter fence - they are typically less oriented in the minutiae of law, and should they have to step in to enforce claims upon colonists past the walls they must hand over said colonists on return for processing by Marshals. 

===Additional Caveats===
*Salvage rights may, at the determination of their holder - be granted or leased. E.G, The Prospectors may, at the determination of the Foreman or Overboss Hogg grant rights over claims to other factions, allies, etc.
*The leasing of scav-rights by Foremen must, by order of Overboss Hogg be both A. reported to his office and either a cut of the total salvage or trade of 'equal value' taken. The Overboss adds that the job of prospectors is not to make friends, but to make money and that failure to properly extract value from such deals will result in consequences
*Though it is held that claimants have the right to defend their stake(with force if necessary) it is expected that Claimants use reasoned force in such and that the holding of such stakes be clearly communicated. E.G; A neutral party trespasses on a Colony claim, prospectors must clearly communicate that such a claim exists and offer opportunity for the claim-juimpers to return the stolen salvage and leave before force is used.

=== Minor Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Thermals are considered contraband for all departments. Thermals are however permitted outside the colony or during a declared red alert level. This goes for the augmentations, glasses, helmets or rig-suit modules. The following items are considered thermals: Augmented shades, Thermo-nightvision helmets, Thermal goggles, Thermal augmentations and bioaugmentations. Along with any hardsuit modules that contain thermals.
** If either Church or Soteria provide to a colonist thermals illegally they are to be charged for minor contraband. If a Soteria staff continues to do so repeatedly, then they are to be demoted immediately. Heads of staff in Soteria or the Church continuing are to be detained, charged with abusing their executive powers, and demoted after a fax has been sent up to the faction leader.
** Permits can temporarily be issued by a Warrant Officer for their usage or transportation through the colony. Any surgical implantation of thermal augments by Soteria requires a properly written form signed by both the doctor and the Warrant Officer permitting such augments be used under Soteria's supervision.
* The shooting range is considered a testing zone for science. Items sent from science to the range for testing must be announced over general comms. In the instance of Soteria testing explosives up at the shooting range, it must be a device capable of small explosives only. Larger explosions are to be tested out in the mines.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered minor contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* All encryption keys that are not supplied to a colonists workplace are considered minor contraband. If sensitive or private information is gained through the use of encryption keys that a colonist should not have access to they should also be charged with violation of employee privacy. This is applied even if it was not the intent of the person using the encryption key. Legal access to an encryption key can be given by any employee of the faction or head of staff, but the head of staff reserves the right to remove any access to any non-employee at any time for any reason. Please note that allies and neutral factions may have their own encryption keys - these are not illegal and should never be taken away.
* ID cards that are modified to give access to a normal departmental area of the colony without head departmental permissions are considered contrband. If, however, this access is issued either by a relevant head of staff or during the case of an emergency no timer or charge should apply. Legal access may be given by a head of staff to their department to another employee at anytime but may also be revoked at any time at the discression of the issuing head of department.
* Any weapons confiscated as in violation of the colony's 'Long Arm Policy' are considered contraband items. They are to be logged and placed into storage effective immediately in accordance with SOP.

=== Major Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Soteria may test combat mechs at a firing range or outside the colony but '''must''' announce any and all movements of where the mech will be moving. Including the starting point to the desired ending point of the travel. These mechs may '''not''' be left in public spaces or otherwise operated, apart from moving through, public spaces unless exemptions are provided in the case of an emergency by security personnel.
** Permits for a combat mech may be temporarily issued by a Warrant Officer to non-Soteria personnel. The [[Example_Paperwork#Item_Application|proper forms]] should be filled out and the mech either housed inside of the employee's designated department or within Soteria's mech bay when not being used. Transporting any combat mech of any kind must be announced over public comms and cannot be driven freely across the colony. This policy and associated paperwork applies to any mech, including those obtained through salvage.
** Non-standard combat mechs / Non-combat mechs rigged for combat are not legal to own nor may receive licenses for normal usage. However, during Code Red or Code Delta emergencies they may be utilized by security personnel or otherwise permitted to be used by personnel determined to be fit and trust worthy by security personnel. All jury rigged weapons should be removed after the state of emergency without exception.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered major contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* Bluespace harpoons, and other teleportation items, may be used for research purposes by Soteria institute personnel. However, this does not mean they can be transported openly nor used or otherwise utilized outside of Soteria research departmental grounds. If transported outside of the department major contraband charges are applicable. If misused to teleport and employee unwillingly, as teleportation can be incredibly dangerous if not life threatening, see §413 - Unwilling Teleportation.

==== Explosive Exemptions ====
Contraband explosives are considered, but not limited to: any device presently capable of causing wide-spread and reasonably uncontrolled damage. This includes, but is not limited to, frag grenades, incendiary grenades, EMP grenades, tank transfer bombs, explosives grenades, incendiary grenades, land mines, and other similar objects capable of replicating any of the listed items effects. Items such as non-explosive flashbangs, smoke grenades, or cleaning grenades are not considered explosives. An oxygen tank, transfer valve, plasma tank, or scrap rifle with its safety measures enable would not count individually as explosives, only if the devices were within reasonable proximity and had steps taken to allow them to be used as explosives. I.E. a scrap rifle with its safety systems off is contraband, a persons bag containing heated plasma tanks, oxygen tanks, and transfer valves would be reasonably considered an explosive object. This exception only applies if the objects are, viably, capable of causing an explosion, if the plasma tank and oxygen tanks are empty and cannot explode it would not be considered contraband. Best and reasonable judgment applies.

Exceptions to the above clause may only be found in four cases:

1. The Marshals and Blackshield may use whatever explosives they require to perform their duties during a code blue or higher scenario. Responsibility for all damage to persons or property are the sole responsibility of the individual using the explosive devices. Low-yield grenades and small-arms explosive ordinance, such as grenade launcher rounds, may be tested at Marshal or Blackshield ranges with proper notification that explosives will be fired at the specified range.

2. Soteria Research may use any manner of explosives in the pursuit of research, the determination of what is considered ‘research’ is left to the sole discretion of the chief research overseer or, in the event one is not present, the biolab overseer. If neither is present, a low council vote is required to determine if the pursuit of research is considered scientific.

3. Prospectors may carry and use explosives outside colony walls at their discretion, provided the explosive do not damage colony property or other persons from the colony or colony allies. Prospectors must hold all explosives within their department or with security in either the gate house or armory. The transportation of explosives should always be announced publicly, similar to the transport of rifle class firearms.
In the event a prospectors wishes to sell explosive devices, be it to Soteria or Lonestar, this must be done with a member of the blackshield or marshal present and in the lobby of the respective department. In this scenario the explosive(s) must be stored in the buying department immediately. A form and record of the transaction should be recorded by security and filed with the WO, premier, sergeant, commander, and supply specialist.

4. Permits '''may''' be written for temporary explosive usage within determined location at the descression of the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist. Examples would be the allowance of Lonestar mining personnel to make use of small-yield explosive devices in mining operations, or temporary permits for Church for the transport of grenades for use in Deep Maintenance.

Failure to comply with the above section can and will result in the applicable charges and fines as expected by discretion of security personnel. This may include, but is not directly required to, charges of major contraband or negligence. In the event the explosive device is misused this may be upgraded to additional charges of terrorism, manslaughter, or murder. Improperly stored explosives that are stolen may confer charges both to the individual who stole and misused them and the individual who failed to properly safe keep the explosive devices, in this event both individuals receive the same charges regardless of fault.

Reasonable storage of an explosive device is determined by security discretion but the following factors should be considered when determining what is reasonable.

Was the device in a locked container such as a secure locker, secure briefcase, safe, secure crate, or wall locker?

Was the device and potential containers holding it secured behind access locked doors?

Was the location of the device(s) kept discrete and related information on a need to know basis?

== Modifiers & Special Situations ==
These may reduce or increase your sentence depending on circumstances relating to the crimes committed.
{| style="text-align:center; background-color:#aaffaa;" width="950px" border="1" cellspacing="0"
! style="background-color:#55ff55; width=100px" |Modifier
! style="background-color:#55ff55;" |Description
! style="background-color:#55ff55;" |Effect
|-
|'''Cooperation with Prosecution or Security'''
| To aid members of colony security, reveal evidence willingly during processing and/or provide names of accomplices involved in the charged offense.
| 25% to 50% timer reduction.
|-
|'''Surrender'''
| To willingly surrender oneself to security staff; either by the means of bringing oneself to the brig or, in a hostile situation, laying down arms and following direct orders.
| 25% to 50% timer reduction.

Execution may not be issued to those who have surrendered. Crimes worth of Holding until Transfer may be overturned at WO discretion.

|-
|'''Self Defense'''
| To have acted in the defense of oneself; ranging from physical injury of the attacker to death of the attacking party.

For this modifier to apply the party MUST have acted in defense; they are not required to retreat if there is credible threat that the attacking party may harm them or others.

The weapon used and lethality of used ammunition or weapon should be taken into account by the arresting officers to determine this modifier.
| Immediate Release.
|-
|'''Good Samaritan Clause'''
|To act in what one, or any other reasonable person, would believe is in good faith and with due caution and regards for the safety of others. Including in the defense of a person’s life or to act if another person is in imminent threat of serious injury and/or death. Failure to comply with an investigation of any crimes is not considered a “Good Samaritan” as it falls out of the category of a ‘reasonable person’.

Examples include pulling a gun to rescue a colonist from hostile lifeforms, breaking a department’s window to pull out a colonist, etc. A ‘Good Samaritan’ does not do such acts for financial compensation; any exchanging of goods for the service is no longer covered by such a modifier. Acts found to be without reason, or with flawed logic (I.e misinterpreting calls for help, ignorance of a situation or ‘over-escalation’ of a tense situation) do not count as reasonable actions and are thus not protected by this clause.
| Immediate Release, with all charges (barring that of Friendly Fire) being dropped against the individual.
|-
|'''Victim in a Willfully Dangerous Position'''
| For a victim to have willingly consented to put themselves into a dangerous situation such as volunteering in the name of science or to insert themselves into a dangerous situation that is not inherently suicidal.

When charging the offender the victims willingness to insert themselves into a dangerous situation should be taken into offense.

| Immediate release or 50% timer reduction on the offender.
|-
|'''Violation of Resident Privacy'''
| To be charged with evidence obtained via illegal means; such as through the use of thermal/X-ray vision, searches without a proper legal warrant or any other such violation of privacy.

Further examples include cases of trumped-up charges as an excuse for a search in hopes of finding contraband.
| All charged crimes or cases of contraband should be immediately dropped.

The arresting officer should be charged with Violation of Employee Rights for infractions on privacy.

|-
|'''Entrapment'''
| To be charged with a crime the offender was induced to commit by a fellow colonist and, without their help, either would not have or could not have committed.

Other forms of entrapment may vary; such as officers placing objects in public areas and waiting for them to be stolen or other colony residents operating similar traps.

| Charges should be either reduced by up to 50% on the offender or charges should be completely dropped.

In cases of security operated entrapment offenses the officers running the operation should be charged with Violation of Employee Rights.

|-
|'''Repeat Offender'''
| To be charged with the same crime/violation.

Examples include repeat offenses of vandalism, assault or contraband distribution.

| For each repeat offense the timer for the crime should be multiplied by 2. 20 minutes would become 40 minutes, etc. This also goes for fines. This only is applied for repeated crimes on the same shift.

Once a timer reaches 90 in the case of repeat crimes the offender should instead be held until shift transfer

|-
|'''Offense by Colony Command'''
|To be a member of the colony's command structure, including Steward and Premier, and to be convicted of any Moderate or high level charges.
|Immediate demotion, in addition to other penalties levied for the charge.

|-
|'''Immediate Threat or Severe Health Threat to the Prisoner'''
| To be arrested or in prison in the brig during an emergency which may negatively impact the offender’s health.
| The prisoner must be relocated to a safe location. In the case where a safe location cannot be found the offender must be immediately released.

If the prisoner is serving time until transfer or until judgement their charge must be reapplied after the emergency situation has ended.

|-
|'''Medical Treatment'''
| Any injured prisoner may have this modifier applied to them. Under SoP prisoners are allowed and should be provided medical attention if sick or injured.
| Medical personnel should be called to brig or the prisoner may be treated by an officer with proper knowledge in brig medbay.

In cases of needed surgery or serious injury medical staff must be called and the prisoner escorted to medbay to undergo treatment.

Brig timer is to be left running during this unless in the case of self-harm; in which the timer should be paused until the prisoner is escorted back to their cell.

|-
|'''Forced Labor'''
|To be a prisoner opting and consenting to do unpaid labor in return to lower their timer or repay their debts.
|The person holding the debt, such as a victim of theft, should determine the debt before the prisoner starts his forced labor sentence. Cargo scanners may also be used upon Lonestar’s consent to price the value of an object and repay the debt by turning in valuables equal to that of the debt.

A marshal or trooper should supervise the debtor if possible. If not the debtor may be charged with Resisting Arrest and placed back in brig until their debt can be paid as per Defaulting on a Debt charge.

|-
|'''Use of psionic powers'''
|To use psionic powers to commit a crime of any kind. Note, the person must use their powers in aid of a crime, not simply be a psion or capable of using psionic powers.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a psion used their powers to commit a crime, however, due to the nature of psionic powers being easy to remove, hard evidence is not required. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the psion would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their powers removed via cranial surgery. Use of sedatives to prevent active power use before surgery is suggested. A psion using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their psionic powers should be removed before being defibbed.

|-
|'''Conflicts with Lifeline Technicians'''
|To attempt to take a patient from a Lifeline Technician, whether by lawful and legal arrest or other reasons which then resulted in armed conflict.
|This situation involves anyone, including Marshals, attempting to take a patient from a Lifeline Technician and then being disabled by said Lifeline Technician or attacking them when they try to get their patient back. In this circumstance, an investigation should be had to ensure the Lifeline Technician followed all procedure involved. If they cannot be proven to have violated procedure, they cannot be charged for disabling someone attempting to take their patient. '''This includes Marshals, up to and including Warrant Officers, being disabled for attempting to take a patient.''' Investigating officers should consider charging those who come into conflict with Lifeline Technicians with appropriate fines.

|-
|'''Crime by AI/Cyborg'''
|For Colony AI or Cyborg to commit actions that are criminal in the eyes of the law.
|This refers to either the colony AI or the colony cyborgs. In the instance that they have committed a crime, Marshals are to operate as per normal. Soteria is to cooperate with the Marshals in regards of these matters, to see if the AI or Cyborg are malfunctioning before allowing them to be arrested. Cyborgs can have their MMIs removed and tossed into a cell to serve the appropriate amount of time, or Soteria can choose to pay for their fine. The same goes for the AI, however, a warrant is specifically required to enter its core, and Soteria personnel should accompany them to ensure matters are handled peacefully. Squads of Marshals or Shields should not be going into the core unless the AI in question is malfunctioning and/or hostile. Card the AI and toss it into the cell, much like the borgs. Once they have served their time, return them to their proper vessels. However, if it is found that these actions were done with bad evidence or in bad faith, the Marshals responsible will be charged with §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding), with possible demotion.

As a further note, the AI and Cyborgs cannot open high access areas unless in a state of emergency, for example, the Marshal, Blackshield, or Command armory. The only other time they can open such areas is to clear out infestations and nothing more.

|-
| '''Use of Genetic Enhancements'''
|To utilize any genetic enhancement to commit a crime of any kind. Note, in regards of some enhancements, the person must use them in aid of a crime, not simply be genetically enhanced or capable of using key genetic enhancements.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a genetically enhanced individual used their capabilities, unless said capabilities were passively running. However, due to the nature of genetic splicing being easy to remove with mutagenic purgers from Soteria, hard evidence is not required, albeit Soteria should have provided information that said individual was enhanced in a timely manner. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the individual would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their enhancements removed via mutagenic purger. A enhanced individual using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their genetic enhancements are to be removed immediately. Furthermore, the individual can be barred from Soteria genetics as a result of this modifier for the shift.

|To be in public colony areas or faction departments, in nudity or doing explicit sexual activities.
|This charge is specific for instances where colonists are roaming around Nadezhda, nude, partially nude, or are doing sexual activities that are meant to remain behind closed personal quarters.

What is considered partial nudity will be broken down for both genders. Men are allowed to roam shirtless but may not roam around without pants or shorts. A marshal can request a male colonist to put a shirt on, or order them to if there is reason to believe that they are doing sexual activities. Females are allowed to go without a top so long as there is a proper cover over their breasts. They are not allowed to roam around without a skirt, pants, or shorts.
|Timer of no more than 15 minutes.

Or a fine of 500.

|-
| §201
|Failure to Obey Safety Protocol
|To willfully ignore safety measures keeping crew out of a crisis zone.
|Non-engineers opening fire shutters, civilians breaking down security barriers, or anyone ignoring caution tape without being qualified to handle whatever is behind it, are all examples of this.

If someone is killed because of it, add Manslaughter to the charges.

Being trapped inside a dangerous area and just trying to escape doesn't count toward this.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

|-
| §202
|Obstruction of Duty
|To negatively interfere with the duties of the crew.
|Pushing a security officer trying to make an arrest, ignoring or ripping down caution tape, opening firelocks into a disaster area, dragging injured personnel away from doctors trying to treat them, or any other form of getting in the way; especially during an emergency. Making false or malicious emergency calls that take personnel away from their other duties also comes under this.

If someone is injured because of this, see '''Assault'''. If serious damage occurs because of this, see '''Sabotage'''. If someone dies because of this, see '''Manslaughter'''.
|Timer of no more than 20 minutes

Or a fine of no more than 1,250 credits.

|-
| §203
|Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding
|To arrest, brig, or punish an employee without proper cause or reason, or in violation of due process rights such as Habeas Corpus.
|This is mainly for marshal officers who believe they are THE LAW. Also applies to kidnapping. Excessive/disproportionate time spent processing or questioning may fall under this category for minor crimes.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion at the decision of the WO.

|-
| §204
|Assault
|To cause physical harm or mild injury to another employee, or brandishing a deadly weapon with the intent of causing or threatening such an injury.
|Anything beyond a few punches like in '''Battery'''. It has to be bad enough that a few bandages or pills won't fix it. This also includes poisoning with drugs, or using hallucinogens. Use of non-lethal ammunition, or other less-than-lethal means, without just cause counts as assault.

See ‘’’Aggravated Assault’’’ if any lethal ammunition are used, or if the victim suffers a broken bone or notable life-threatening hospitalization. See '''Attempted Murder''' if the intent was to kill. See ‘’’Threat of Murder or Serious Injury``` as a secondary charge to any threats made while brandishing a weapon with a stated threat to murder.
|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

Any cost of medical treatment must be paid immediately to the victim by the offender. If the offender cannot afford the medical treatment cost, see ```Defaulting on Debt.```

|-
| §205
|Extortion, Blackmail and/or Bribery
|To attempt to blackmail, extort or bribe an individual either financially or other.
|This includes using ones position, influence, or finances be they departmental or personal to force another into performing a specific action or give payment against their will. This does not include a head of staff docking someones pay for failing to do their job or refusing to follow orders, all required work is considered agreed on prior to employment and outlined ahead of time.

If a bribery is accepted both parties are to be charged with this.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

If physical exchange of an item or credits takes place the item or currency should be confiscated.

Demotion possible at the decision of the department head.

|-
| §206
|Major Contraband
|To possess, use, or distribute dangerous contraband items, including drugs.
|See '''Contraband Table''' for what applies to this charge.

See '''Contraband Policy'''.

Permits may be written in specific instances by the Warrant Officer, Supply Specialist, Brigadier, or the provost Marshal to override this law.

The Chief Biolab Overseer can also authorize the possession of normally illegal drugs through prescriptions. Research is allowed to possess any contraband so long as they comply with their ''Contraband Policy''.
|Timer of no more than 20 minutes and the confiscation of contraband items.

|-
| §207
|Escaping from Confinement / Debt
|To escape from confinement as someone who was serving a non-life sentence or was awaiting judgement. This also applies to fleeing a forced labor contract.
|For cases of HuT prisoners attempting escape see '''Escaping from HuT'''.

|-
| §209
|Resisting Arrest or Sparking a Manhunt
|To not cooperate with an officer who attempts a proper arrest, or to cause a manhunt by hiding from security. Refusing a lawful search can also get you charged with 209.
|Refusing handcuffs is not resisting arrest. Refusing handcuffs and refusing to come to the brig is resisting arrest. So is pushing the officer trying to arrest you, or running away. Actively hiding or running away is what this law is for.

An officer should take into account their reason for not reporting to security immediately as well. For example, a guild master trying to stop the engine from exploding probably shouldn't be charged with resisting arrest if they ignore the fact that security wants to give them a vandalism fine for breaking a wall earlier.

Likewise, if anyone in security has threatened them with harm, not just arrest, they're somewhat justified in hiding.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

|-
| §210
|Excessive Use of Force
|To use more than the required force to subdue a suspect as a security member.
|Examples of this charge include using force against an unarmed and compliant suspect and usage of lethal weapons without there being imminent peril.

|Timer of no more than 30 minutes

Or a fine of no more than 2,000 credits paid to the victim.

|-
| §211
|Forgery
|To falsify official documents, records or orders.
|Examples of this crime include a fax to issue orders posing as the High Council or a superior, falsifying a medical prescription or falsifying ones records to pose as either more certified or to fake eligibility for job positions.
|Timer of no more than 15 minutes and an immediate search

Or a fine of up to 750 credits.

|-
| §212
|Disrespect of 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 repaired or cyborged also falls under this. Bodies rendered incapable of wound repair count as murder instead.
|Timer of no more than 20 minutes

Or a fine of no more than 1,250 credits.

|-
| §213
|Sexual Harassment
|To make unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks towards another employee or silicon units.

| §301
|Negligence
|To fail to perform a job to a satisfactory standard, or to create a dangerous situation without taking proper precautions.
|This can be due to honest, or dishonest mistakes. This is usually because someone ignored Standard Operating Procedure and an accident occurred because of that. This charge also applies to creating a hazardous area or otherwise introducing a hazard to an area without proper permission or precautions. For example: Putting excessive power into the grid and reasoning it's the crew's fault if they get shocked, and so on.

If someone is killed because of it, see '''Manslaughter'''.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §302
|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.
|While similar to '''Failure to Execute''' an Order this charge is applied if a member of the colony is injured via the refusal of an order or if notable damage to the colony is done via refusing to follow an order.

Examples are medical doctors ignoring the chief biolab overseer while patients are piling up in medbay, etc.

If the refusal to follow an order results in death, see '''Manslaughter'''.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §303
|Fraudulent, Excessive, Incorrect Charges or providing false testimony
|To punish a crew member in excess for their crime, to give a crew member incorrect punishment, or to give fraudulent charges that are not valid. This charge also includes false or misleading statements to charge someone with a crime.
|This includes stacking multiple charges for the same offense (i.e. being charged with theft 3 times for 3 items stolen from the same person, being charged multiple times with trespassing for each room unlawfully entered etc. etc.), providing false testimonies and statements during an investigation (intent does not matter here, if the investigator feels someone mislead them, they do not need to prove intent to do so).

This also applies to cases of planted evidence, confiscation of contraband if it is being used in a legal manner under the '''Contraband Policy''' or gross errors in sentencing or levied charges.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion for the rest of the work shift at the discretion of the WO.

|-
| §304
|Aggravated Assault
|To cause severe injury to another employee or colonist, typically requiring invasive surgery or resulting in life-threatening physical harm.
|This is in reference to any form of assault that causes shrapnel, broken bones, severe bleeding, or otherwise rendering a victim into a state of critical condition. Shrapnel left in one’s body may count if the rounds are not LTL rounds. For LTL round usage that do ‘not’ result in broken bones or cause a life threatening injury, but may still embed, see ```Assault```.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Any cost of medical treatment must be paid immediately to the victim by the offender. If the offender cannot afford the medical treatment cost, see ```Defaulting on Debt.```

|-
| §305
|Abuse of Confiscated Equipment
|To take and use equipment confiscated as evidence.
|Evidence such as even weapons should never be taken and used by security; even in cases of emergency.

Demotion for the duration of the shift at the discretion of the WO.

|-
| §306
|Illegal Modification of AI/Cyborg

|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §308
|Infiltration
|To attempt to, or successfully, enter a high-security area without authorization.
|Areas include the gatehouse, colony fence, bridge, head of staff room, virology, toxin storage or other essential high-security areas.

| §310
|Severe Use of Excessive Force
|Critically injuring someone in defense of yourself or others while they no longer pose a threat, or seriously injuring a suspect while attempting to detain them.
|Severely injuring someone attacking you or others with no obvious threat to life, or panicking and shooting a suspect to near-death. Subjects who cannot be cuffed and have their legs broken as a result do not count if the subject refused to comply after 3 warnings and a witness is available to confirm each warning.
|Timer of no more than 40 minutes.

|-
| §311
|Breach of Salvage Rights
|To violate salvage rights by means of theft, 'claim jumping', or otherwise taking undue action against a rightful claimant.
|The consideration of the stolen item(s) value should be taken into account when issuing this charge. This charge may ```NOT``` be placed alongside any theft or grand-theft charges.
|Any stolen items should be returned to the proper salvage-claim holder. If the items are non-recoverable, or have been sold off, the offender is to repay that market-price of the stolen items to the victim. If the offender is not able to pay, apply specialty charge ```001 - Defaulting on Debt```.

A timer of no more than 20 minutes may be issued on the offender alongside a 250 credit fine.

|-
| §312
|Animal Cruelty
|To inflict unnecessary suffering or harm upon animals with malicious intent.
|Monkeys appropriately used for experiments or crew well-being (e.g genetics, virology, weapon testing, etc.) don't count. Shoving them in washing machines, or throwing them through disposals while still alive falls under this. Using them as food is a grey area; cows are generally fine, but monkey cubes and the like probably aren't.

Creatures typically considered pests (those that are by default hostile such as roaches or spiders) are not protected under this law if they aren't being kept in private areas such as personal dorms, or are fully tamed by a colonist. Tamed in this case means that they will not attack other colonists, or damage colony infrastructure.
|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

Fine may be issued to cover the animals treatment if still alive. If not a 750 credit fine may be levied on top of the brig timer.

If any named Colony Pet (Ian, Tea, Graves, Lisa, PunPun, and other pets that spawn in the colony with a roundstart name (this does not include ones made in-round unless specific by the High Council through fax/announcement) was targeted, it is an automatic 90 minute sentence.

|Sabotage
|To hinder the efforts of the crew or station with malicious intent.
|This includes causing breaches, sabotaging air supplies, stealing vital equipment, etc. The intent is probably the most important bit here.

|Timer of no more than 45 minutes

|-
| §403
|Exceeding Official Powers
|To act beyond what is allowed by the chain of command.
|This is for anyone who abuses the power given to them, such as the premier acting like a security officer in a non-emergency, the warrant officer acting as if he is above the law, etc. Heads of staff trying to order a different department or ignoring a council vote also comes under this, as does security staff attempting to give orders to non-security without legal justification.

|Timer of no more than 45 minutes and confiscation of stolen items.

If items cannot be recovered the offender is forced to monetarily compensate for the loss.

|-
| §406
|Operating Excelsior Equipment

|To be in illegal possession of or to actively operate Excelsior equipment.
|This applies to Excelsior batteries, guns or armor. Their lack of safety features, shoddily made structure and use in operation can endanger oneself or other colonists.

The usage of Excelsior tech also is a tell-tale sign of an Excelsior agent or collaborator.

Permits may be written in specific instances by the Warrant Officer, Brigadier, or the provost Marshal to override this law.

'''See Contraband Policy'''
|Immediate medical examination and confiscation of equipment.

If Excelsior implant is found and removed the subject should be placed under psychiatric evaluation until deemed fit. If deemed fit the offender should be released.

|To be a registered member of the colony without any form of qualified records.
|This does not apply to outsiders visiting the colony nor members of the Hunters Lodge.

All members of the colony are required to have fully detailed employment, security, and medical records at all times. Failure to have them is considered a crime.

Colonists without records lose all rights and are to be treated as hostile infiltrators, though for obvious reasons, should be detained peacefully.(Small inconsistencies are allowed, but encouraged to remedy when able.)

| §413
|Unwilling Teleportation
|To teleport a person, with either psionic powers or bluespace technology, who is unwilling or does not consent to the testing of such equipment on themself.

|This includes deliberate arson, hostage taking, use of bombs, release of singularity, etc. In cases of terrorism, the provost marshal must be informed.
|Holding until Judgement.

Execution is encouraged; especially if deaths are caused by the action.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §502
|Mutiny
|To openly rebel against or attempt to remove command staff with violent intent to remove the command staff from power.
|One’s motive is important. If someone is just angry at a head of staff and murders them in a fit of rage, that's just regular murder. On the other hand, trying to take over the colony through violent means, lethal or not, is mutiny.
|Holding until Judgement.

Execution is an option.

|-
| §504
|Murder or Attempted Murder
|To willfully and intentionally kill or attempt to kill someone. To prevent a rightful revival or else render someone unrevivable through clear action.
|Clear intent is needed to prove a case of murder over manslaughter. While Manslaughter is unintentionally causing death through accident, or unintended consequences, Murder is a purposeful act with the intent to take the life of another.

Attempts to cover up an incident of Manslaughter may necessitate a charge of murder due to pre/post meditative evidence.
Additionally, should proof positive be obtained that indicates premeditation the penalty should be automatically adjusted to H.U.T and the low council should convene to determine if more extreme penalties are warranted, up to and including execution.

|If the victim is able to be revived a timer of no less than 90 minutes may be issued. The Council may meet to determine if this sentence be should be upgraded to HuT.

If the victim is deemed unable to be revived, such as through the destruction of a brain or body, execution may be issued at the behest of the Council.

Colony residents who commit murder '''should not be revived''' if they die unless stated otherwise by the Council.

|-
| §505
|Espionage
|To gain access to in-house or proprietary Designs, Documents, Programs, or otherwise vital assets of a Colony Faction or one of the Colony's allies.
|Whether by theft, trespass, or buying such items without the departmental head's explicitly written and shown permission.

Note that this does '''NOT''' include stealing items themselves, such as constructed Guild items or items purchased through the Lonestar Trade System -- only the theft of the program itself or the designs to make more of the Guild's items, or otherwise.

|Hold until Transfer. The stolen proprietary assets should be returned to the faction or ally they were stolen from immediately unless they are directly required to be used as evidence in a tribunal. Any items gathered or created with the proprietary assets should be given to the faction or ally as well.

|-
| §508
|Grand Trespass
|To trespass into an area of high security such as an AI upload or the Marshal armory without any reason to be there; especially when a head of staff or personnel with access to said area is present.
|This does not apply to emergency situations in which a staff member may not be active. In rare cases, such as a code red incident, it may be required that staff without access enter secure areas. This requires '''proper reasoning''' such as a case of imminent threat to the colony itself or it’s inheritance; such as from a rogue AI or hostile invasion.
|Holding until Transfer.

|-
| §509
|Escaping from HuT Sentence
|To attempt or successfully escape from the brig or other holding area when serving a holding until transfer sentence.
|The offender must have been properly judged by tribunal for holding until transfer to be legally issued.
|Execution.

A tribunal is not required under this circumstance, and is the only case where this is currently so.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §510
|Wrongful Execution
|To execute a crew member who later turned out to be innocent.
|This only counts when a tribunal was held and the order was given to execute someone based on faulty or poor evidence that is later debunked by additional evidence. If the tribunal process is skipped, or is carried out incorrectly such as having no premier sign off, then murder is added to the charges.

The warrant officer is punished and any individuals who deliberately produced false evidence are charged with '''Murder'''. Those who unintentionally provided incorrect evidence are charged with '''Manslaughter''' and '''Negligence'''.

It is also required to contact provost marshal Boris Kilmeade if this happens.

|Immediate demotion, suspension from command for a time determined by the High Council and holding until transfer.

Provost Marshal Boris Kilmeade may overrule or specify specifics to this punishment/timer.

|-
| §512
|Slavery
|To force someone to work for no payment through force, threats or purposefully neglecting to pay them. To abuse someone and hold them against their will is also applicable; see §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding).
|This charge does not apply to the modifier '''Forced Labor''' unless it extends over 2 hours or is otherwise stated.

It is very possible that other charges may apply as the person might have been abused in some way or held against their will as well as robbed of their personal belongings. Make sure to charge the individual with all crimes committed.

|Timer of up to 60 minutes may be issued or, in cases where other crimes put the timer over 90 minutes, HuT may be issued.

|-
| §513
|Sexual Assault
|To assault, or attempt to assault, someone else sexually, including rape.
|This charge exists as a means to handle non-con scenes ICly, such as but not limited to: A player OOCly not consenting to a scene and reporting it. '''A-help staff when dealing with these charges.'''
|Permanent removal from the colony or execution.
|}

== Commentaries and Clarifications ==
* '''Common Areas''': Generally understood to be publicly accessible areas of the colony that are owned and maintained by the colony rather than as part of an individual department.
* '''Lethal Firearm''': A gun loaded or set to a fire mode that's main purpose is to inflict damage to put someone into a critical conduction and or kill. Rubbers when shot out of a gun that has mods to inflict additional damage onto the bullet itself automatically count as lethal.
* '''Cyborgification''' The removal of a person's brain for transplanting into a Cyborg Chassis as an alternative to execution. A prisoner who is sentenced to execution must request or consent to this.
* '''Dismissal''': Changing ID title to "Dismissed", which has zero access. Requires the judgement of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Demotion''': Can be demoted down to and including Assistant position. Requires the judgment of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Employee''': Employee of the colony, as defined by the colonies commanding officers. All non-employee subjects are not protected by these laws.
* '''Empowering''': Illegal acquiring (not via Head of Personnel or Colony Director) of access.
* '''Execution''': Prisoner is killed via means of firing squad, lethal injection, or other means. It is required for the premier to be present or an execution may not proceed. It is required to offer the prisoner the option of how they prefer to die. They should also be offered a last meal. It is not required to follow these preferences if they are deemed unreasonable or impossible. In all cases of execution, respective faction owners should be informed of the execution and the crimes leading up to it. (( A PK may be applicable in this situation. See [[Permanent Death]] for OOC details. ))
* '''Head of Staff''': Crew members occupying one of the following positions: Premier, Guild Master, Blackshield Commander, Warrant Officer, Chief Biolab Overseer, Chief Research Overseer, Chief Executive Officer.
* '''Imminent Peril''': A situation in which there is an apparent and immediate threat of serious injury or death, and it is not possible to escape this threat. Obvious examples are shooting someone trying to stab people. A less obvious example is shooting someone trying to sabotage Atmospherics. Lethal force is justified in such a situation because there's no other options remaining.
* '''HuJ / Holding Until Judgement''': Held (in the brig) until a tribunal is done, or the shift ends. Whichever happens first.
* '''HuT / Holding Until Transfer''': Held (in the brig) until the shift ends. This becomes HuJ when a tribunal is being held for the prisoner.
* '''Severe Injury''': A state in which the victim is in a critical condition and is having difficulty maintaining consciousness.

Demotion and dismissal also require the removal of equipment from the previous job. Uniforms, weapons, bombs, PDA cartridges, etc.

For the purposes of Cyborg/AI laws, crew members that have been convicted, or are being held in detention, are considered to be below even the AI/Cyborgs in terms of rank.

Serving sentences in jail can be replaced with forced labor in some cases.

In cases where the final sentence is more than 90 minutes, it is changed to holding until judgment.

The standard penalty can be applied without a tribunal by Security Officers. Tribunals can assign lesser or higher ones, depending on the circumstances.

== OOC Notes ==
* It's vital to know that the involvement of faction owners means involvement of admins. However, if that happens, admins will try to keep in character. Ergo, the character is '''not''' going to magically know attack logs or fingerprints or anything else they don't know IC, because it's like playing a game with cheat codes. It's fun to screw off for a little while, but then it's going to get really boring.
** The above also applies in the case of admins playing normal security.
** The only exception to the above is in the case of potentially removing a character from the station. See [[Permanent Death]] for details. Admins are not going to PK someone who they know OOCly didn't actually do the crime. If you are guilty though an a execution happens, the chance of permanent removal is extremely high. Contact an admin to find out if an executed character has been removed forever.
* '''Laws ARE NOT RULES for the server itself!''' That means, so long as you have a believable in-character motive for breaking these regulations, you won't get banned for it, especially if good roleplay is your end goal. Conversely, if you're just going around smashing windows for shits and giggles, you're ''obviously'' going to get yelled at by an admin. See [[Rules|the actual server rules]] for more details.

Much of this work has been siphoned off from many different places in the SS13 community. Notable examples being two Separate [http://baystation12.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6193 Baystation] -- [http://baystation12.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6193 forum] posts, and parts of the [https://doku.ss13polaris.com/doku.php?id=game:guides:paperwork:example_paperwork Polaris] wiki. These examples already have most of the special notation included, But if you wish to learn what each of these notes mean, and how to use it in your own custom paperwork also see: [[Guide to Paperwork]].

= Character Records =
Character records are a borderline ''requirement'' for those playing within the colony itself. Hunters and Outsiders are exempt from needing records, but joining the colony without records can lead to a swift arrest or hassle by security forces. Due to the station of the colony on a dangerous frontier all newcomers are monitored and logged into systems.

Players who are playing colonists should fill out Employment, Security, and Medical records with at least a bare minimum detail. One may go further in depth if desired to provide roleplay and context to one's records.

These records should be filled out as if they are written by corporate staff, they should '''NOT''' be an autobiography of your characters life. (I.e - "I have blue eyes and short hair, a dark and deep past. . . ") Please be sure that records do not conflict with lore on the server and match our server "[[rules]]". Remember; some records are better than no records, and sometimes shorter but descriptive records are better than longer records full of filler.

A guide has been provided below along with the records of which parts of records are needed and any notes to go along with what should be in the records section.

=== Employment: ===
'''The required sections are:''' Education Summary, Current Qualifications, and Current Certifications.

'''Note:''' Be realistic with your summaries of education, employment, etc. Being employed by an illegal criminal syndicate would not be something you write as an employment record. Similarly keep real-life references to education institutes or real life corporations to a minimum. While something like McRonalds is acceptable something such as: "Graduate of Penn State University" should be omitted.

CURRENT QUALIFICATIONS: (If none, put none)
CURRENT CERTIFICATIONS: (If none, put none)

An example being "Needing to breath something other then oxygen to survive." Can be easily RP'ed with a empty oxygen tank and mask. While having something like "opifex-pox" that causes you to instantly transform into a Opifex when someone sneezes would not work.) This can be as long or as short as it needs to be.

===Soteria Institute Policies===
By Gidgit
<pre>
[center][table][row][cell][b]SOTERIA INSTITUTE POLICIES[/b][/table]COLONIST PSA[/center]

[b][u][center]SOTERIA MEDICAL[/center][/u][/b][b]All critical[/b] forms of healing such as [b]defibbing, surgery, and use of chemicals[/b] are [b]free the first time[/b] they are given to a single colonist [b]per shift[/b].

If the treatment is [b]not critical[/b], the colonist [b]may decide to pay[/b] instead of receiving free treatment. [i]Deciding to pay will retain your first free treatment.[/i]

All situations after that a doctor may charge a patient for treatment should they find themselves getting repeatedly injured. This charge is solely up to the CBO or treating doctors discretion, they may elect not to charge an individual should they believe the person did not put themselves recklessly in danger (accidents do happen), should a patient be unable to pay their medical bills, contact security. Soteria-Science division is subject to this rule as well if no doctors are around.

Corpsman or other medically trained professionals not affiliated with Soteria should utilize their own departmental or personal supplies first, before using Soteria Supplies. If no doctors are present, the supplies may be utilized but should be replaced as soon as possible, this includes using your own personal funds. Otherwise, this constitutes as theft and you may be forced to pay for the replacement.

Prices for Treatment

Reconstructive surgery and defibbing: 500 credits
Use of bruise packs, advanced ointment, burn cream, and bandages: 75 credits. This can add up if charges are used or the supplies are entirely used up.
Use of chemicals made by the chemistry lab: At minimum of 2 credits or maximum 10 credits per unit at discretion of medical staff.
Use of a sleeper: 150 credits
In the event someone cannot pay prior to treatment, you may refuse treatment, but only if this is the second time treating them that shift and the doctor in question wishes to charge them. If the person is incapable of declaring intention to pay (they are dead or unconscious) payment is assumed and a debt incurred. Inability to pay the bill after revival by either refusal or lack of funds requires intervention from security (defaulting on medical bills is a crime).

[center]SOTERIA SCIENCE DIVISION[/center]
Medical Treatment
If there are no doctors or corpsman avaliable the Science Division may help out in the treatment center.
Roboticists, who are expected to be trained in surgery, are preferred over Scientists
All Medical SOP applies to the Science Division

[b]Golden rule:[/b] [center]Keep communications up at all times on the Security Channel and
report all movements, arrests and all security matters over the radio.[/center][br]
[hr][br]
[b]Guidelines[/b][br]
[*]Talk first, stun second.[br]
[*]Always call for backup before attempting to confront a possibly dangerous criminal.[br]
[*]Charge your weapons after every usage.[br]
[*]Stay calm under all circumstances, anger and fear show weakness.[br]
[*]Always lock Security lockers & logout of security terminals after each use.[br]
[*]Seal off crime scenes and wait for forensics personnel to arrive.[br]
[*]Avoid using force where possible.[br]
[*]Inform the Ranger when a criminal is wanted and set their wanted status via your security hud if possible.[br]
[*]Respect the chain of command! The Ranger outranks you within the brig itself and for criminal sentencing. The Warrant Officer outranks him.[br]
[*]Remember your priorities: One punch is hardly something to arrest anyone over if there is a hostage situation.[br]

Example Paperwork

2023-01-20T02:33:46Z

Rebel0: /* Character Records */

Welcome to the most useful page for in-depth role-players! Listed below are the examples of how to properly format in-game paperwork! '''We do not enforce the use of this paperwork exactly how it is presented here this is simple to give you a good base.''' Much of this work has been siphoned off from many different places in the SS13 community. Notable examples being two Separate [http://baystation12.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6193 Baystation] -- [http://baystation12.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6193 forum] posts, and parts of the [https://doku.ss13polaris.com/doku.php?id=game:guides:paperwork:example_paperwork Polaris] wiki. These examples already have most of the special notation included, But if you wish to learn what each of these notes mean, and how to use it in your own custom paperwork also see: [[Guide to Paperwork]].

= Character Records =
Character records are a borderline ''requirement'' for those playing within the colony itself. Hunters and Outsiders are exempt from needing records, but joining the colony without records can lead to a swift arrest or hassle by security forces. Due to the station of the colony on a dangerous frontier all newcomers are monitored and logged into systems.

Players who are playing colonists should fill out Employment, Security, and Medical records with at least a bare minimum detail. One may go further in depth if desired to provide roleplay and context to one's records.

These records should be filled out as if they are written by corporate staff, they should '''NOT''' be an autobiography of your characters life. (I.e - "I have blue eyes and short hair, a dark and deep past. . . ") Please be sure that records do not conflict with lore on the server and match our server "[[rules]]". Remember; some records are better than no records, and sometimes shorter but descriptive records are better than longer records full of filler.

A guide has been provided below along with the records of which parts of records are needed and any notes to go along with what should be in the records section.

=== Employment: ===
'''The required sections are:''' Education Summary, Current Qualifications, and Current Certifications.

'''Note:''' Be realistic with your summaries of education, employment, etc. Being employed by an illegal criminal syndicate would not be something you write as an employment record. Similarly keep real-life references to education institutes or real life corporations to a minimum. While something like McRonalds is acceptable something such as: "Graduate of Penn State University" should be omitted.

EDUCATION SUMMARY:
CURRENT QUALIFICATIONS: (If none, put none)
CURRENT CERTIFICATIONS: (If none, put none)

=== Medical: ===
'''The required sections are:''' Name, Birthdate, Species, Height, Weight, Eye Color, Hair Color, Race/Ethnicity, Last Updated, and the Important Information Section (Post Mortem Instructions, Prosthetic Implants, and Allergies)

'''Note:''' Please try and keep illness and disability with-in the scope of our setting. Do not include something that can not be easily recreated within in-game mechanics or easily role-play able. An example being "Needing to breath something other then oxygen to survive." Can be easily RP'ed with a empty oxygen tank and mask. While having something like "opifex-pox" that causes you to instantly transform into a Opifex when someone sneezes would not work.) This can be as long or as short as it needs to be.

===Soteria Institute Policies===
By Gidgit
<pre>
[center][table][row][cell][b]SOTERIA INSTITUTE POLICIES[/b][/table]COLONIST PSA[/center]

[b][u][center]SOTERIA MEDICAL[/center][/u][/b][b]All critical[/b] forms of healing such as [b]defibbing, surgery, and use of chemicals[/b] are [b]free the first time[/b] they are given to a single colonist [b]per shift[/b].

If the treatment is [b]not critical[/b], the colonist [b]may decide to pay[/b] instead of receiving free treatment. [i]Deciding to pay will retain your first free treatment.[/i]

All situations after that a doctor may charge a patient for treatment should they find themselves getting repeatedly injured. This charge is solely up to the CBO or treating doctors discretion, they may elect not to charge an individual should they believe the person did not put themselves recklessly in danger (accidents do happen), should a patient be unable to pay their medical bills, contact security. Soteria-Science division is subject to this rule as well if no doctors are around.

Corpsman or other medically trained professionals not affiliated with Soteria should utilize their own departmental or personal supplies first, before using Soteria Supplies. If no doctors are present, the supplies may be utilized but should be replaced as soon as possible, this includes using your own personal funds. Otherwise, this constitutes as theft and you may be forced to pay for the replacement.

Prices for Treatment

Reconstructive surgery and defibbing: 500 credits
Use of bruise packs, advanced ointment, burn cream, and bandages: 75 credits. This can add up if charges are used or the supplies are entirely used up.
Use of chemicals made by the chemistry lab: At minimum of 2 credits or maximum 10 credits per unit at discretion of medical staff.
Use of a sleeper: 150 credits
In the event someone cannot pay prior to treatment, you may refuse treatment, but only if this is the second time treating them that shift and the doctor in question wishes to charge them. If the person is incapable of declaring intention to pay (they are dead or unconscious) payment is assumed and a debt incurred. Inability to pay the bill after revival by either refusal or lack of funds requires intervention from security (defaulting on medical bills is a crime).

[center]SOTERIA SCIENCE DIVISION[/center]
Medical Treatment
If there are no doctors or corpsman avaliable the Science Division may help out in the treatment center.
Roboticists, who are expected to be trained in surgery, are preferred over Scientists
All Medical SOP applies to the Science Division

[hr][br]
[b]Golden rule:[/b] [center]Keep communications up at all times on the Security Channel and
report all movements, arrests and all security matters over the radio.[/center][br]
[hr][br]
[b]Guidelines[/b][br]
[*]Talk first, stun second.[br]
[*]Always call for backup before attempting to confront a possibly dangerous criminal.[br]
[*]Charge your weapons after every usage.[br]
[*]Stay calm under all circumstances, anger and fear show weakness.[br]
[*]Always lock Security lockers & logout of security terminals after each use.[br]
[*]Seal off crime scenes and wait for forensics personnel to arrive.[br]
[*]Avoid using force where possible.[br]
[*]Inform the Ranger when a criminal is wanted and set their wanted status via your security hud if possible.[br]
[*]Respect the chain of command! The Ranger outranks you within the brig itself and for criminal sentencing. The Warrant Officer outranks him.[br]
[*]Remember your priorities: One punch is hardly something to arrest anyone over if there is a hostage situation.[br]

Example Paperwork

2023-01-20T02:33:12Z

Rebel0: /* Medical: */

Welcome to the most useful page for in-depth role-players! Listed below are the examples of how to properly format in-game paperwork! '''We do not enforce the use of this paperwork exactly how it is presented here this is simple to give you a good base.''' Much of this work has been siphoned off from many different places in the SS13 community. Notable examples being two Separate [http://baystation12.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6193 Baystation] -- [http://baystation12.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6193 forum] posts, and parts of the [https://doku.ss13polaris.com/doku.php?id=game:guides:paperwork:example_paperwork Polaris] wiki. These examples already have most of the special notation included, But if you wish to learn what each of these notes mean, and how to use it in your own custom paperwork also see: [[Guide to Paperwork]].

= Character Records =
Character records are a borderline ''requirement'' for those playing within the colony itself. Hunters and Outsiders are exempt from needing records, but joining the colony without records can lead to a swift arrest or hassle by security forces. Due to the station of the colony on a dangerous frontier all newcomers are monitored and logged into systems.

Players who are playing colonists should fill out Employment, Security, and Medical records with at least a bare minimum detail. One may go further in depth if desired to provide roleplay and context to one's records.

These records should be filled out as if they are written by corporate staff, they should '''NOT''' be an autobiography of your characters life. (I.e - "I have blue eyes and short hair, a dark and deep past. . . ") Please be sure that records do not conflict with lore on the server and match our server "[[rules]]". Remember; some records are better than no records, and sometimes shorter but descriptive records are better than longer records full of filler.

A guide has been provided below along with the records of which parts of records are needed and any notes to go along with what should be in the records section.

=== Employment: ===
'''The required sections are:''' Education Summary, Current Qualifications (if none, put 'none') and Current Certifications (if none, put 'none').

'''Note:''' Be realistic with your summaries of education, employment, etc. Being employed by an illegal criminal syndicate would not be something you write as an employment record. Similarly keep real-life references to education institutes or real life corporations to a minimum. While something like McRonalds is acceptable something such as: "Graduate of Penn State University" should be omitted.

An example being "Needing to breath something other then oxygen to survive." Can be easily RP'ed with a empty oxygen tank and mask. While having something like "opifex-pox" that causes you to instantly transform into a Opifex when someone sneezes would not work.) This can be as long or as short as it needs to be.

===Soteria Institute Policies===
By Gidgit
<pre>
[center][table][row][cell][b]SOTERIA INSTITUTE POLICIES[/b][/table]COLONIST PSA[/center]

[b][u][center]SOTERIA MEDICAL[/center][/u][/b][b]All critical[/b] forms of healing such as [b]defibbing, surgery, and use of chemicals[/b] are [b]free the first time[/b] they are given to a single colonist [b]per shift[/b].

If the treatment is [b]not critical[/b], the colonist [b]may decide to pay[/b] instead of receiving free treatment. [i]Deciding to pay will retain your first free treatment.[/i]

All situations after that a doctor may charge a patient for treatment should they find themselves getting repeatedly injured. This charge is solely up to the CBO or treating doctors discretion, they may elect not to charge an individual should they believe the person did not put themselves recklessly in danger (accidents do happen), should a patient be unable to pay their medical bills, contact security. Soteria-Science division is subject to this rule as well if no doctors are around.

Corpsman or other medically trained professionals not affiliated with Soteria should utilize their own departmental or personal supplies first, before using Soteria Supplies. If no doctors are present, the supplies may be utilized but should be replaced as soon as possible, this includes using your own personal funds. Otherwise, this constitutes as theft and you may be forced to pay for the replacement.

Prices for Treatment

Reconstructive surgery and defibbing: 500 credits
Use of bruise packs, advanced ointment, burn cream, and bandages: 75 credits. This can add up if charges are used or the supplies are entirely used up.
Use of chemicals made by the chemistry lab: At minimum of 2 credits or maximum 10 credits per unit at discretion of medical staff.
Use of a sleeper: 150 credits
In the event someone cannot pay prior to treatment, you may refuse treatment, but only if this is the second time treating them that shift and the doctor in question wishes to charge them. If the person is incapable of declaring intention to pay (they are dead or unconscious) payment is assumed and a debt incurred. Inability to pay the bill after revival by either refusal or lack of funds requires intervention from security (defaulting on medical bills is a crime).

[center]SOTERIA SCIENCE DIVISION[/center]
Medical Treatment
If there are no doctors or corpsman avaliable the Science Division may help out in the treatment center.
Roboticists, who are expected to be trained in surgery, are preferred over Scientists
All Medical SOP applies to the Science Division

report all movements, arrests and all security matters over the radio.[/center][br]
[hr][br]
[b]Guidelines[/b][br]
[*]Talk first, stun second.[br]
[*]Always call for backup before attempting to confront a possibly dangerous criminal.[br]
[*]Charge your weapons after every usage.[br]
[*]Stay calm under all circumstances, anger and fear show weakness.[br]
[*]Always lock Security lockers & logout of security terminals after each use.[br]
[*]Seal off crime scenes and wait for forensics personnel to arrive.[br]
[*]Avoid using force where possible.[br]
[*]Inform the Ranger when a criminal is wanted and set their wanted status via your security hud if possible.[br]
[*]Respect the chain of command! The Ranger outranks you within the brig itself and for criminal sentencing. The Warrant Officer outranks him.[br]
[*]Remember your priorities: One punch is hardly something to arrest anyone over if there is a hostage situation.[br]

Example Paperwork

2023-01-20T02:32:43Z

Rebel0: /* Security: */

Welcome to the most useful page for in-depth role-players! Listed below are the examples of how to properly format in-game paperwork! '''We do not enforce the use of this paperwork exactly how it is presented here this is simple to give you a good base.''' Much of this work has been siphoned off from many different places in the SS13 community. Notable examples being two Separate [http://baystation12.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6193 Baystation] -- [http://baystation12.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6193 forum] posts, and parts of the [https://doku.ss13polaris.com/doku.php?id=game:guides:paperwork:example_paperwork Polaris] wiki. These examples already have most of the special notation included, But if you wish to learn what each of these notes mean, and how to use it in your own custom paperwork also see: [[Guide to Paperwork]].

= Character Records =
Character records are a borderline ''requirement'' for those playing within the colony itself. Hunters and Outsiders are exempt from needing records, but joining the colony without records can lead to a swift arrest or hassle by security forces. Due to the station of the colony on a dangerous frontier all newcomers are monitored and logged into systems.

Players who are playing colonists should fill out Employment, Security, and Medical records with at least a bare minimum detail. One may go further in depth if desired to provide roleplay and context to one's records.

These records should be filled out as if they are written by corporate staff, they should '''NOT''' be an autobiography of your characters life. (I.e - "I have blue eyes and short hair, a dark and deep past. . . ") Please be sure that records do not conflict with lore on the server and match our server "[[rules]]". Remember; some records are better than no records, and sometimes shorter but descriptive records are better than longer records full of filler.

A guide has been provided below along with the records of which parts of records are needed and any notes to go along with what should be in the records section.

=== Employment: ===
'''The required sections are:''' Education Summary, Current Qualifications (if none, put 'none') and Current Certifications (if none, put 'none').

'''Note:''' Be realistic with your summaries of education, employment, etc. Being employed by an illegal criminal syndicate would not be something you write as an employment record. Similarly keep real-life references to education institutes or real life corporations to a minimum. While something like McRonalds is acceptable something such as: "Graduate of Penn State University" should be omitted.

'''Note:''' Please try and keep illness and disability with-in the scope of our setting. Do not include something that can not be easily recreated within in-game mechanics or easily role-play able. An example being "Needing to breath something other then oxygen to survive." Can be easily RP'ed with a empty oxygen tank and mask. While having something like "opifex-pox" that causes you to instantly transform into a Opifex when someone sneezes would not work.) This can be as long or as short as it needs to be.

===Soteria Institute Policies===
By Gidgit
<pre>
[center][table][row][cell][b]SOTERIA INSTITUTE POLICIES[/b][/table]COLONIST PSA[/center]

[b][u][center]SOTERIA MEDICAL[/center][/u][/b][b]All critical[/b] forms of healing such as [b]defibbing, surgery, and use of chemicals[/b] are [b]free the first time[/b] they are given to a single colonist [b]per shift[/b].

If the treatment is [b]not critical[/b], the colonist [b]may decide to pay[/b] instead of receiving free treatment. [i]Deciding to pay will retain your first free treatment.[/i]

All situations after that a doctor may charge a patient for treatment should they find themselves getting repeatedly injured. This charge is solely up to the CBO or treating doctors discretion, they may elect not to charge an individual should they believe the person did not put themselves recklessly in danger (accidents do happen), should a patient be unable to pay their medical bills, contact security. Soteria-Science division is subject to this rule as well if no doctors are around.

Corpsman or other medically trained professionals not affiliated with Soteria should utilize their own departmental or personal supplies first, before using Soteria Supplies. If no doctors are present, the supplies may be utilized but should be replaced as soon as possible, this includes using your own personal funds. Otherwise, this constitutes as theft and you may be forced to pay for the replacement.

Prices for Treatment

Reconstructive surgery and defibbing: 500 credits
Use of bruise packs, advanced ointment, burn cream, and bandages: 75 credits. This can add up if charges are used or the supplies are entirely used up.
Use of chemicals made by the chemistry lab: At minimum of 2 credits or maximum 10 credits per unit at discretion of medical staff.
Use of a sleeper: 150 credits
In the event someone cannot pay prior to treatment, you may refuse treatment, but only if this is the second time treating them that shift and the doctor in question wishes to charge them. If the person is incapable of declaring intention to pay (they are dead or unconscious) payment is assumed and a debt incurred. Inability to pay the bill after revival by either refusal or lack of funds requires intervention from security (defaulting on medical bills is a crime).

[center]SOTERIA SCIENCE DIVISION[/center]
Medical Treatment
If there are no doctors or corpsman avaliable the Science Division may help out in the treatment center.
Roboticists, who are expected to be trained in surgery, are preferred over Scientists
All Medical SOP applies to the Science Division

[hr][br]
[b]Golden rule:[/b] [center]Keep communications up at all times on the Security Channel and
report all movements, arrests and all security matters over the radio.[/center][br]
[hr][br]
[b]Guidelines[/b][br]
[*]Talk first, stun second.[br]
[*]Always call for backup before attempting to confront a possibly dangerous criminal.[br]
[*]Charge your weapons after every usage.[br]
[*]Stay calm under all circumstances, anger and fear show weakness.[br]
[*]Always lock Security lockers & logout of security terminals after each use.[br]
[*]Seal off crime scenes and wait for forensics personnel to arrive.[br]
[*]Avoid using force where possible.[br]
[*]Inform the Ranger when a criminal is wanted and set their wanted status via your security hud if possible.[br]
[*]Respect the chain of command! The Ranger outranks you within the brig itself and for criminal sentencing. The Warrant Officer outranks him.[br]
[*]Remember your priorities: One punch is hardly something to arrest anyone over if there is a hostage situation.[br]

Laws

2023-01-20T02:31:18Z

Rebel0: Adds link to character records into the Lacking Records crime section

The colony laws are a series of regulations that all interest groups on the High Council have agreed to, applying them broadly to all colonists inside the colony. The colony’s Marshals are expected to uphold and enforce these laws, and all departments are expected to follow them. This is not a general guide to security. All new marshals should review the official [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]]. It is important to know that all offenses listed below should be followed as a ‘guideline’ by law enforcement personnel and do allow for victim rights and alternative solutions to minor offenses. For example, you are not required to give a sentence if the problem can be resolved in an alternative way that the suspect agrees to, such as an agreement with the victim in return for not pressing charges, or peer mediation. To understand how to go about a proper arrest, or other clarifications such as prisoner rights, alert levels, and more, see [[Standard Operating Procedure]]. Note that Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is enforced via the head of staff. To be charged with a violation of SOP, a head of staff has to request a relevant charge be levied, such as denial of a reasonable order.

'''Law's protections, and rights only apply to colonists and colony allies. Visitors, outsiders, and groups unconnected to the colony have no rights and therefore no protections under the law.'''

== Interpretation of the Law ==
'''<big>All colony law is subject to the standard of INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. No one is to ever be assumed guilty, evidence must be presented that reasonably proves guilt.</big>'''

A good working knowledge of the law is important for any person on the station. It can be the difference between a shiny pair of handcuffs and sipping drinks in the bar. More in-depth interpretations of the law are required for such positions as the ranger, officer, premier, and the warrant officer. For certain crimes, the accused party's intent is important. Intent can be the difference between a charge such as, say, manslaughter and murder. One requires purposeful intent, the other is unintentional and typically caused by negligence or workplace accident. It is also important to note that manslaughter and murder are mutually exclusive. This indicates that an individual must be charged with one or the other, not both. Neither could someone be charged with both assault and murder on an individual if there is only a single victim, the higher-grade charge must be the charge applied in that case.

All of this will be explained in detail as you read on, including specialty clauses, cases, guides, and explanations to how a Marshal or servant of the law should think when interpreting legal issues such as criminal acts or disputes.

Here are a few basic to-know bullet points for officers:
* '''To ensure you, as an arresting officer, don't fall into the trap of negligence or misuse of power, always follow procedure where possible as detailed by [[Standard_Operating_Procedure#Marshals|standard operating procedure]].'''
* As an arresting officer, follow the [[Guide to Security|Guide to Marshals]] to ensure you don't fall foul of legal proceedings.
* In the case of pressed charges being in the same category (i.e Battery, Assault, Murder - or Vandalism, Theft, Grand Theft) take only the most severe charge. Any lesser charges in this case should not be applied.
* A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took 3 items off someone, this is a single count of theft. Otherwise this would count as 'crime-stacking', which is against SOP and law.
* When deciding on a timer for multiple crimes committed, take each crime into consideration separately. Then add the times together to get a final concise timer. This should be the timer issued to an offender when they are put in a cell.
* '''The time taken to bring in an offender and the time taken when questioning the offender are NOT to be calculated into their issued timer.''' Timers begin when plugged in on a cell's console. However, offenders should be processed as quick as reasonably possible as-per their rights as employees within the colony.

=== Victim Rights ===

'''A victim holds the right to drop charges if the listed charge allows it.''' This would apply to charges such as: Assault, Theft, Trespass, or other 100 to 200-tier offenses. Victims may also collect monetary value equal to their losses from the offender in question, such as any incurring medical bills or loss of property. Both of these clauses are there to allow a victim peace of mind and to make sound decisions rather than being forced into court cases.

There are some exemptions, however. Such as in the case of any 'red paragraph crime', such as those equal to a 400-level “Exceptional” charge or a 500-level “Capital” charge. These charges include crimes such as attempted murder, manslaughter, grand theft, or the like and may '''not''' be dropped at any time by a victim. The reason being that these criminal acts extend further than creating a victim, but also threatening the lives of others. Officers 'may' take into account an offender’s circumstances and a victim's testimonial when deciding intent and timers but no dropping of charges may occur.

=== Fines & Timers ===

Some crimes may offer either a fine or a timer, or in some cases, 'both' a fine and a timer together. It is ultimately at the discretion of the arresting officer and/or the warrant-filer what the punishment for an offense should be.

Fines are ultimately recommended for most low-level crimes, if they are listed under the ‘timer’ section of the quick reference guide. If, however, an offender is non-cooperative, a repeat offender, or otherwise hindering an investigation a timer should be issued instead. Fines are to be paid to the Marshal department directly, while any compensation, such as to damaged property or medical fees, should be directed to the victim and/or the victim department.

Timers are to be decided by the senior authority, typically either a ranger or warrant officer. If in the case where neither are available then the arresting officer may decide. Timers should not exceed a maximum time allocated to the charge '''unless''' modifiers are added on; such as a repeat offender who would receive double the time. Timers 'may' be less than the allocated maximum time depending on circumstances and modifiers that would normally subtract time from one’s sentence, such as cooperation with security personnel or in cases of entrapment.

== Heads of Staff & Lower Council Law ==

'''Heads of staff are not above the law, and can be arrested by the marshals for breaking it.''' The 'only' time that the law can be overridden is when there is an imminent and overwhelming threat to the colony, such as during a Code Delta scenario.

'''A determination of no-wrongdoing may result in the dismissal of charges levied or a negating of any brig time served.''' Determinations of no-wrongdoing must be done by a Warrant Officer after an investigation, which must be faxed to the Office of the Provost Marshal, the Provost Marshal himself, or the colonies High Council. Any Warrant Officer found to abuse their authority to declare improper cases of no-wrongdoing may be demoted and arrested for exceeding their official power alongside other charges, such as falsifying information or providing false testimony.

A vote held by the Lower Council may also be used to indite some charges, such as abuse of power or charges related to disrupting the Low Council. Any crime that requires judgement, such as crimes labeled as 'HuJ' / Hold until Judgement, should be decided on in a timely manner by the Lower Council through a tribunal. A tribunal '''must''' follow the Legal Standard Operating Procedure to be considered legal. A tribunal must properly vote and may only be overturned by the High Council itself. It is ultimately up to the Lower Council if they wish for a proper legal court trial or to operate as they would a normal meeting, but one of the two options must be used.

The Low Council may opt to give timers over the normal-maximum, set specialty timers, or issue specific parole conditions via tribunal and deliberation if desired. These rulings may be overturned by the High Council if its conditions are found to be unreasonable or a violation of employee rights.

=== Legal Standard Operating Procedure ===

Tribunals are the main way major decisions are made aboard the station and the defendant does not have to be involved. There is not specified length for how long a tribunal must be. Basically it's the same as the old trial, but without a jury and slightly streamlined. An AI may fill in for a premier for tribunals and can be trusted to be accurate, however, an AI may not replace a premier for the purpose of voting for execution.

* '''Purpose:''' For crimes or decisions that require more than one person, or crimes where there is no set punishment.

* '''Overview:''' A minimum of three heads of staff must discuss this issue and vote on the outcome with a premier (or AI substitute) over seeing the tribunal.

* '''Process:''' The premier (or stand-in AI) should call the heads of staff for a tribunal with the situation and proposed outcome. This can be done formally in a meeting room, or informally over radio.

* '''Conviction:''' The tribunal must vote on the outcome, and the outcome must win by a majority vote (over 50%). If there is a tie, the premier's vote wins. For an execution to take place, the vote must be unanimous.

* '''Sentencing:''' If the vote passes, the outcome may be enacted, usually by the marshals. The decision can be appealed once by either the defendant or a volunteer.

==Salvaging Rights==

These laws will attempt to make clear what is, and is not salvage. Who has rights over what claims, the proper handling of claims and so fourth. These laws MUST be enforced by Nadezhda Marshals, or Blackshield, depending on the jurisdiction of the 'claim' and apply to all colonists of the Nadezdha Colony as well as Colony Allies and 'Neutral' third parties.
Basic salvage rights entail only the following caveats;
* Trash piles, unclaimed and clearly unowned items and storage containers are the rightful property of the 'first claimant'. A trash pile belongs to the first person to touch it, an abandoned locker to the first one to reach it, et cetera.
* Clearly owned property must be respected. A labeled cart, a gun who's serial is registered and thus known - these are considered personal property, and must be respected.
Additionally the following rules apply to all 'claims'
* If an item is stolen and then rediscovered in an area that would normally count as right-to-loot then it must be returned as it is their rightful property.
* Crime scenes. Any item taken from a crime scene is chargeable by theft, obstruction of duty, and suspicious conduct. A crime scene's boundaries will be clearly marked by tape set up by Marshals or Blackshield.
* Items dropped by colonists or allies due to severe injuries are their rightful property, and MUST be returned.
* The areas owned by colony allies or factions (such as Voidwolf ally Ships or the Soteria Solar Outpost), and clearly defined departmental zones are barred from allowing salvage claims.

===Types of Salvage Claims===
In summary, there are four types of salvage areas. Claimed, Unclaimed, disputed and free

*Claimed areas are those within colony borders(or the borders of colony allies) that have a lawful mandate placed over them, determined typically by the High Council, or at times low council. These locations are the claim-right of a particular faction, ally, et cetera. The FULL contents of these areas is the rightful claim of their respective owners, and any contents taken are effectively treated as their 'rightful property'. Though mere presence on a claim is not generally sufficient to result in charges, the removal of property from them(I.E scavving) is cause for charges of trespass, theft, and grand theft. Additionally, a modifier "Breach of salvage rights" should be applied to each of these charges and any items taken returned or, if not possible - their value owed in remediation.

*Unclaimed areas, while still within colony property, have no rightful claim placed on them, such claims may be enacted at the discretion of the High council, foreman and low council(in that order of importance), having to be properly ratified and faxed to be valid.

*Uncontested areas are new zones or uncertain zones that have no current claims. While they may be within the borders of the Colony or its Allies, they are generally free to loot so long as general scavenging rules are observed. Conflicts, theft and similar SHALL be punished by law.

*Free areas are neither within colony territory nor hold any special claim. These areas are typically considered 'free' of salvage rights and include but are not limited to; the untamed wilds past the colony border and space(and areas located within that do not fall under the purview of the previous types of claims).

===Known claims and their status===
*The Nadezdha colony maintains that the areas in its immediate vicinity, as well as the jungle directly south and the crater directly west are 'colony property' and not subject to claims by non-colony forces.

*Colony maintenance is 'unclaimed', thus only basic salvage rights must be respected.

*The Prospectors hold exclusive claims over the following areas; Greyson Positronics field offices and attached locations, this include the Greyson Positronics Gantlet. 'Preppers' bunker. 'Ironhead compound' Smuggler base. 'Zoo' research facility.

*The 'Scrap haven' is, as of now, a shared claim between the Prospectors and Hunters lodge - However, the Hunters Lodge has abdicated any right to lease their hold on the claim.

*The hunters Lodge holds exclusive claim over the following areas; The lodge itself and land upon which it sits, and the plains in the immediate vicinity of their lodge

*The 'Salvage Fields' are 'free' claims, though basic salvage rights should be respected.

*The assorted, smaller 'Points of Interest' in the immediate vicinity of the colony are 'uncontested'(E.G, scorched outpost, lost outpost, etc).

===Enforcement of Claims and Jurisdiction.===
As previously stated, it is the duty of Marshals and Blackshield to enforce salvaging rights - though they may vary on where their areas of jurisdiction come into play. 
Blackshield are largely expected to handle matters of salvage disputes where exterior forces threaten Nadezdha Colony(or upon request, colony allies) claims. Exterior factions attempted to jump claims owned by Prospectors should result in their dispatching. 
Marshals however are granted jurisdiction over legal matters of enforcement. Colonists jumping claims that are rightfully held should be charged accounting for the details of the matter. 
In the event where jurisdiction may be at question, it is important to remember that while the blackshield holds legal jurisdiction outside the perimeter fence - they are typically less oriented in the minutiae of law, and should they have to step in to enforce claims upon colonists past the walls they must hand over said colonists on return for processing by Marshals. 

===Additional Caveats===
*Salvage rights may, at the determination of their holder - be granted or leased. E.G, The Prospectors may, at the determination of the Foreman or Overboss Hogg grant rights over claims to other factions, allies, etc.
*The leasing of scav-rights by Foremen must, by order of Overboss Hogg be both A. reported to his office and either a cut of the total salvage or trade of 'equal value' taken. The Overboss adds that the job of prospectors is not to make friends, but to make money and that failure to properly extract value from such deals will result in consequences
*Though it is held that claimants have the right to defend their stake(with force if necessary) it is expected that Claimants use reasoned force in such and that the holding of such stakes be clearly communicated. E.G; A neutral party trespasses on a Colony claim, prospectors must clearly communicate that such a claim exists and offer opportunity for the claim-juimpers to return the stolen salvage and leave before force is used.

* Thermal Modules (Including built-in thermal helmets & rig-mounts)
* Chameleon device (clothing forms, projector, etc)
|}

=== Minor Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Thermals are considered contraband for all departments. Thermals are however permitted outside the colony or during a declared red alert level. This goes for the augmentations, glasses, helmets or rig-suit modules. The following items are considered thermals: Augmented shades, Thermo-nightvision helmets, Thermal goggles, Thermal augmentations and bioaugmentations. Along with any hardsuit modules that contain thermals.
** If either Church or Soteria provide to a colonist thermals illegally they are to be charged for minor contraband. If a Soteria staff continues to do so repeatedly, then they are to be demoted immediately. Heads of staff in Soteria or the Church continuing are to be detained, charged with abusing their executive powers, and demoted after a fax has been sent up to the faction leader.
** Permits can temporarily be issued by a Warrant Officer for their usage or transportation through the colony. Any surgical implantation of thermal augments by Soteria requires a properly written form signed by both the doctor and the Warrant Officer permitting such augments be used under Soteria's supervision.
* The shooting range is considered a testing zone for science. Items sent from science to the range for testing must be announced over general comms. In the instance of Soteria testing explosives up at the shooting range, it must be a device capable of small explosives only. Larger explosions are to be tested out in the mines.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered minor contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* All encryption keys that are not supplied to a colonists workplace are considered minor contraband. If sensitive or private information is gained through the use of encryption keys that a colonist should not have access to they should also be charged with violation of employee privacy. This is applied even if it was not the intent of the person using the encryption key. Legal access to an encryption key can be given by any employee of the faction or head of staff, but the head of staff reserves the right to remove any access to any non-employee at any time for any reason. Please note that allies and neutral factions may have their own encryption keys - these are not illegal and should never be taken away.
* ID cards that are modified to give access to a normal departmental area of the colony without head departmental permissions are considered contrband. If, however, this access is issued either by a relevant head of staff or during the case of an emergency no timer or charge should apply. Legal access may be given by a head of staff to their department to another employee at anytime but may also be revoked at any time at the discression of the issuing head of department.
* Any weapons confiscated as in violation of the colony's 'Long Arm Policy' are considered contraband items. They are to be logged and placed into storage effective immediately in accordance with SOP.

* Stealth Fields (any form, hard-suit or otherwise)
* Functioning Cryptographic Sequencer (Also known as an Emag)
|}

=== Major Contraband Exemptions & Stipulations ===
* Soteria may test combat mechs at a firing range or outside the colony but '''must''' announce any and all movements of where the mech will be moving. Including the starting point to the desired ending point of the travel. These mechs may '''not''' be left in public spaces or otherwise operated, apart from moving through, public spaces unless exemptions are provided in the case of an emergency by security personnel.
** Permits for a combat mech may be temporarily issued by a Warrant Officer to non-Soteria personnel. The [[Example_Paperwork#Item_Application|proper forms]] should be filled out and the mech either housed inside of the employee's designated department or within Soteria's mech bay when not being used. Transporting any combat mech of any kind must be announced over public comms and cannot be driven freely across the colony. This policy and associated paperwork applies to any mech, including those obtained through salvage.
** Non-standard combat mechs / Non-combat mechs rigged for combat are not legal to own nor may receive licenses for normal usage. However, during Code Red or Code Delta emergencies they may be utilized by security personnel or otherwise permitted to be used by personnel determined to be fit and trust worthy by security personnel. All jury rigged weapons should be removed after the state of emergency without exception.
* The chemicals in the list above are considered major contraband. These items may be tested upon within the research or medical department and are not considered contraband unless they leave said departments. Chemicals not on this list are not considered contraband unless used in the commission of a crime such as negligence or attempted murder. Some chemicals can be used for medical purposes and do not need to be in a medical department to be used (for example, soporific being used for field surgeries).
* Bluespace harpoons, and other teleportation items, may be used for research purposes by Soteria institute personnel. However, this does not mean they can be transported openly nor used or otherwise utilized outside of Soteria research departmental grounds. If transported outside of the department major contraband charges are applicable. If misused to teleport and employee unwillingly, as teleportation can be incredibly dangerous if not life threatening, see §413 - Unwilling Teleportation.

==== Explosive Exemptions ====
Contraband explosives are considered, but not limited to: any device presently capable of causing wide-spread and reasonably uncontrolled damage. This includes, but is not limited to, frag grenades, incendiary grenades, EMP grenades, tank transfer bombs, explosives grenades, incendiary grenades, land mines, and other similar objects capable of replicating any of the listed items effects. Items such as non-explosive flashbangs, smoke grenades, or cleaning grenades are not considered explosives. An oxygen tank, transfer valve, plasma tank, or scrap rifle with its safety measures enable would not count individually as explosives, only if the devices were within reasonable proximity and had steps taken to allow them to be used as explosives. I.E. a scrap rifle with its safety systems off is contraband, a persons bag containing heated plasma tanks, oxygen tanks, and transfer valves would be reasonably considered an explosive object. This exception only applies if the objects are, viably, capable of causing an explosion, if the plasma tank and oxygen tanks are empty and cannot explode it would not be considered contraband. Best and reasonable judgment applies.

Exceptions to the above clause may only be found in four cases:

1. The Marshals and Blackshield may use whatever explosives they require to perform their duties during a code blue or higher scenario. Responsibility for all damage to persons or property are the sole responsibility of the individual using the explosive devices. Low-yield grenades and small-arms explosive ordinance, such as grenade launcher rounds, may be tested at Marshal or Blackshield ranges with proper notification that explosives will be fired at the specified range.

2. Soteria Research may use any manner of explosives in the pursuit of research, the determination of what is considered ‘research’ is left to the sole discretion of the chief research overseer or, in the event one is not present, the biolab overseer. If neither is present, a low council vote is required to determine if the pursuit of research is considered scientific.

3. Prospectors may carry and use explosives outside colony walls at their discretion, provided the explosive do not damage colony property or other persons from the colony or colony allies. Prospectors must hold all explosives within their department or with security in either the gate house or armory. The transportation of explosives should always be announced publicly, similar to the transport of rifle class firearms.
In the event a prospectors wishes to sell explosive devices, be it to Soteria or Lonestar, this must be done with a member of the blackshield or marshal present and in the lobby of the respective department. In this scenario the explosive(s) must be stored in the buying department immediately. A form and record of the transaction should be recorded by security and filed with the WO, premier, sergeant, commander, and supply specialist.

4. Permits '''may''' be written for temporary explosive usage within determined location at the descression of the Warrant Officer or Supply Specialist. Examples would be the allowance of Lonestar mining personnel to make use of small-yield explosive devices in mining operations, or temporary permits for Church for the transport of grenades for use in Deep Maintenance.

Failure to comply with the above section can and will result in the applicable charges and fines as expected by discretion of security personnel. This may include, but is not directly required to, charges of major contraband or negligence. In the event the explosive device is misused this may be upgraded to additional charges of terrorism, manslaughter, or murder. Improperly stored explosives that are stolen may confer charges both to the individual who stole and misused them and the individual who failed to properly safe keep the explosive devices, in this event both individuals receive the same charges regardless of fault.

Reasonable storage of an explosive device is determined by security discretion but the following factors should be considered when determining what is reasonable.

Was the device in a locked container such as a secure locker, secure briefcase, safe, secure crate, or wall locker?

Was the device and potential containers holding it secured behind access locked doors?

Was the location of the device(s) kept discrete and related information on a need to know basis?

No department may receive permission nor contraband licensing to use or otherwise utilize Excelsior technology unless an exemption is given by the High Council itself.
** Soteria Science may be handed Excelsior tech as a means of destruction. Soteria Science may not preform experiments with Excelsior tech but they may use it in a destructive analyzer to be used in the production and research of non-Excelsior technology.
** Guild may be handed Excelsior tech to be deconstructed as a means of useful destruction of Excelsior branded technology. Guild may not use nor utilize Excelsior technology itself but they may break it down in either their department's industrial autolathe or through their department's nanoforge machine.
** Marshals may utilize their Nanite Reconstructor in the armory to break down Excelsior weapons or armor. However tech like Excelsior branded cells or computer-components will not be able to be broken down by said machine. Personnel must find an alternative for those deconstruction methods.

! style="background-color:#55ff55; width=100px" |Modifier
! style="background-color:#55ff55;" |Description
! style="background-color:#55ff55;" |Effect
|-
|'''Cooperation with Prosecution or Security'''
| To aid members of colony security, reveal evidence willingly during processing and/or provide names of accomplices involved in the charged offense.
| 25% to 50% timer reduction.
|-
|'''Surrender'''
| To willingly surrender oneself to security staff; either by the means of bringing oneself to the brig or, in a hostile situation, laying down arms and following direct orders.
| 25% to 50% timer reduction.

Execution may not be issued to those who have surrendered. Crimes worth of Holding until Transfer may be overturned at WO discretion.

|-
|'''Self Defense'''
| To have acted in the defense of oneself; ranging from physical injury of the attacker to death of the attacking party.

For this modifier to apply the party MUST have acted in defense; they are not required to retreat if there is credible threat that the attacking party may harm them or others.

The weapon used and lethality of used ammunition or weapon should be taken into account by the arresting officers to determine this modifier.
| Immediate Release.
|-
|'''Good Samaritan Clause'''
|To act in what one, or any other reasonable person, would believe is in good faith and with due caution and regards for the safety of others. Including in the defense of a person’s life or to act if another person is in imminent threat of serious injury and/or death. Failure to comply with an investigation of any crimes is not considered a “Good Samaritan” as it falls out of the category of a ‘reasonable person’.

Examples include pulling a gun to rescue a colonist from hostile lifeforms, breaking a department’s window to pull out a colonist, etc. A ‘Good Samaritan’ does not do such acts for financial compensation; any exchanging of goods for the service is no longer covered by such a modifier. Acts found to be without reason, or with flawed logic (I.e misinterpreting calls for help, ignorance of a situation or ‘over-escalation’ of a tense situation) do not count as reasonable actions and are thus not protected by this clause.
| Immediate Release, with all charges (barring that of Friendly Fire) being dropped against the individual.
|-
|'''Victim in a Willfully Dangerous Position'''
| For a victim to have willingly consented to put themselves into a dangerous situation such as volunteering in the name of science or to insert themselves into a dangerous situation that is not inherently suicidal.

When charging the offender the victims willingness to insert themselves into a dangerous situation should be taken into offense.

| Immediate release or 50% timer reduction on the offender.
|-
|'''Violation of Resident Privacy'''
| To be charged with evidence obtained via illegal means; such as through the use of thermal/X-ray vision, searches without a proper legal warrant or any other such violation of privacy.

Further examples include cases of trumped-up charges as an excuse for a search in hopes of finding contraband.
| All charged crimes or cases of contraband should be immediately dropped.

The arresting officer should be charged with Violation of Employee Rights for infractions on privacy.

|-
|'''Entrapment'''
| To be charged with a crime the offender was induced to commit by a fellow colonist and, without their help, either would not have or could not have committed.

Other forms of entrapment may vary; such as officers placing objects in public areas and waiting for them to be stolen or other colony residents operating similar traps.

| Charges should be either reduced by up to 50% on the offender or charges should be completely dropped.

In cases of security operated entrapment offenses the officers running the operation should be charged with Violation of Employee Rights.

|-
|'''Repeat Offender'''
| To be charged with the same crime/violation.

Examples include repeat offenses of vandalism, assault or contraband distribution.

| For each repeat offense the timer for the crime should be multiplied by 2. 20 minutes would become 40 minutes, etc. This also goes for fines. This only is applied for repeated crimes on the same shift.

Once a timer reaches 90 in the case of repeat crimes the offender should instead be held until shift transfer

|-
|'''Offense by Colony Command'''
|To be a member of the colony's command structure, including Steward and Premier, and to be convicted of any Moderate or high level charges.
|Immediate demotion, in addition to other penalties levied for the charge.

Note: A fax should immediately be sent to the High Council upon the offender’s demotion.
|-
|'''Immediate Threat or Severe Health Threat to the Prisoner'''
| To be arrested or in prison in the brig during an emergency which may negatively impact the offender’s health.
| The prisoner must be relocated to a safe location. In the case where a safe location cannot be found the offender must be immediately released.

If the prisoner is serving time until transfer or until judgement their charge must be reapplied after the emergency situation has ended.

|-
|'''Medical Treatment'''
| Any injured prisoner may have this modifier applied to them. Under SoP prisoners are allowed and should be provided medical attention if sick or injured.
| Medical personnel should be called to brig or the prisoner may be treated by an officer with proper knowledge in brig medbay.

In cases of needed surgery or serious injury medical staff must be called and the prisoner escorted to medbay to undergo treatment.

Brig timer is to be left running during this unless in the case of self-harm; in which the timer should be paused until the prisoner is escorted back to their cell.

|-
|'''Forced Labor'''
|To be a prisoner opting and consenting to do unpaid labor in return to lower their timer or repay their debts.
|The person holding the debt, such as a victim of theft, should determine the debt before the prisoner starts his forced labor sentence. Cargo scanners may also be used upon Lonestar’s consent to price the value of an object and repay the debt by turning in valuables equal to that of the debt.

A marshal or trooper should supervise the debtor if possible. If not the debtor may be charged with Resisting Arrest and placed back in brig until their debt can be paid as per Defaulting on a Debt charge.

|-
|'''Use of psionic powers'''
|To use psionic powers to commit a crime of any kind. Note, the person must use their powers in aid of a crime, not simply be a psion or capable of using psionic powers.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a psion used their powers to commit a crime, however, due to the nature of psionic powers being easy to remove, hard evidence is not required. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the psion would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their powers removed via cranial surgery. Use of sedatives to prevent active power use before surgery is suggested. A psion using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their psionic powers should be removed before being defibbed.

|-
|'''Conflicts with Lifeline Technicians'''
|To attempt to take a patient from a Lifeline Technician, whether by lawful and legal arrest or other reasons which then resulted in armed conflict.
|This situation involves anyone, including Marshals, attempting to take a patient from a Lifeline Technician and then being disabled by said Lifeline Technician or attacking them when they try to get their patient back. In this circumstance, an investigation should be had to ensure the Lifeline Technician followed all procedure involved. If they cannot be proven to have violated procedure, they cannot be charged for disabling someone attempting to take their patient. '''This includes Marshals, up to and including Warrant Officers, being disabled for attempting to take a patient.''' Investigating officers should consider charging those who come into conflict with Lifeline Technicians with appropriate fines.

|-
|'''Crime by AI/Cyborg'''
|For Colony AI or Cyborg to commit actions that are criminal in the eyes of the law.
|This refers to either the colony AI or the colony cyborgs. In the instance that they have committed a crime, Marshals are to operate as per normal. Soteria is to cooperate with the Marshals in regards of these matters, to see if the AI or Cyborg are malfunctioning before allowing them to be arrested. Cyborgs can have their MMIs removed and tossed into a cell to serve the appropriate amount of time, or Soteria can choose to pay for their fine. The same goes for the AI, however, a warrant is specifically required to enter its core, and Soteria personnel should accompany them to ensure matters are handled peacefully. Squads of Marshals or Shields should not be going into the core unless the AI in question is malfunctioning and/or hostile. Card the AI and toss it into the cell, much like the borgs. Once they have served their time, return them to their proper vessels. However, if it is found that these actions were done with bad evidence or in bad faith, the Marshals responsible will be charged with §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding), with possible demotion.

As a further note, the AI and Cyborgs cannot open high access areas unless in a state of emergency, for example, the Marshal, Blackshield, or Command armory. The only other time they can open such areas is to clear out infestations and nothing more.

|-
| '''Use of Genetic Enhancements'''
|To utilize any genetic enhancement to commit a crime of any kind. Note, in regards of some enhancements, the person must use them in aid of a crime, not simply be genetically enhanced or capable of using key genetic enhancements.
|Any charges given to the person has its fine value or time served automatically doubled. There must be reasonable suspicion that a genetically enhanced individual used their capabilities, unless said capabilities were passively running. However, due to the nature of genetic splicing being easy to remove with mutagenic purgers from Soteria, hard evidence is not required, albeit Soteria should have provided information that said individual was enhanced in a timely manner. An officer must merely have a plausible and reasonable suspicion to apply this modifier. Officer discretion is encouraged and they may choose not to apply this at their behest. If the individual would be HuT'd, it is highly encouraged to have their enhancements removed via mutagenic purger. A enhanced individual using his powers to attempt to escape or fight security during imprisonment is to be killed in such a way that they can be revived, however, their genetic enhancements are to be removed immediately. Furthermore, the individual can be barred from Soteria genetics as a result of this modifier for the shift.

|-
| §204
|Assault
|To cause physical harm or mild injury to another employee, or brandishing a deadly weapon with the intent of causing or threatening such an injury.
|Anything beyond a few punches like in '''Battery'''. It has to be bad enough that a few bandages or pills won't fix it. This also includes poisoning with drugs, or using hallucinogens. Use of non-lethal ammunition, or other less-than-lethal means, without just cause counts as assault.

|-
| §209
|Resisting Arrest or Sparking a Manhunt
|To not cooperate with an officer who attempts a proper arrest, or to cause a manhunt by hiding from security. Refusing a lawful search can also get you charged with 209.
|Refusing handcuffs is not resisting arrest. Refusing handcuffs and refusing to come to the brig is resisting arrest. So is pushing the officer trying to arrest you, or running away. Actively hiding or running away is what this law is for.

An officer should take into account their reason for not reporting to security immediately as well. For example, a guild master trying to stop the engine from exploding probably shouldn't be charged with resisting arrest if they ignore the fact that security wants to give them a vandalism fine for breaking a wall earlier.

Likewise, if anyone in security has threatened them with harm, not just arrest, they're somewhat justified in hiding.

|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

|-
| §210
|Excessive Use of Force
|To use more than the required force to subdue a suspect as a security member.
|Examples of this charge include using force against an unarmed and compliant suspect and usage of lethal weapons without there being imminent peril.

|Timer of no more than 30 minutes

Or a fine of no more than 2,000 credits paid to the victim.

|-
| §301
|Negligence
|To fail to perform a job to a satisfactory standard, or to create a dangerous situation without taking proper precautions.
|This can be due to honest, or dishonest mistakes. This is usually because someone ignored Standard Operating Procedure and an accident occurred because of that. This charge also applies to creating a hazardous area or otherwise introducing a hazard to an area without proper permission or precautions. For example: Putting excessive power into the grid and reasoning it's the crew's fault if they get shocked, and so on.

If someone is killed because of it, see '''Manslaughter'''.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §302
|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.
|While similar to '''Failure to Execute''' an Order this charge is applied if a member of the colony is injured via the refusal of an order or if notable damage to the colony is done via refusing to follow an order.

Examples are medical doctors ignoring the chief biolab overseer while patients are piling up in medbay, etc.

If the refusal to follow an order results in death, see '''Manslaughter'''.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §303
|Fraudulent, Excessive, Incorrect Charges or providing false testimony
|To punish a crew member in excess for their crime, to give a crew member incorrect punishment, or to give fraudulent charges that are not valid. This charge also includes false or misleading statements to charge someone with a crime.
|This includes stacking multiple charges for the same offense (i.e. being charged with theft 3 times for 3 items stolen from the same person, being charged multiple times with trespassing for each room unlawfully entered etc. etc.), providing false testimonies and statements during an investigation (intent does not matter here, if the investigator feels someone mislead them, they do not need to prove intent to do so).

This also applies to cases of planted evidence, confiscation of contraband if it is being used in a legal manner under the '''Contraband Policy''' or gross errors in sentencing or levied charges.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion for the rest of the work shift at the discretion of the WO.

|-
| §304
|Aggravated Assault
|To cause severe injury to another employee or colonist, typically requiring invasive surgery or resulting in life-threatening physical harm.
|This is in reference to any form of assault that causes shrapnel, broken bones, severe bleeding, or otherwise rendering a victim into a state of critical condition. Shrapnel left in one’s body may count if the rounds are not LTL rounds. For LTL round usage that do ‘not’ result in broken bones or cause a life threatening injury, but may still embed, see ```Assault```.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Any cost of medical treatment must be paid immediately to the victim by the offender. If the offender cannot afford the medical treatment cost, see ```Defaulting on Debt.```

|-
| §305
|Abuse of Confiscated Equipment
|To take and use equipment confiscated as evidence.
|Evidence such as even weapons should never be taken and used by security; even in cases of emergency.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

Demotion for the duration of the shift at the discretion of the WO.

|-
| §306
|Illegal Modification of AI/Cyborg
|To modify the laws of a cyborg or artificial intelligence, without need, proper access, or authority.
|An exception would be a law reset when obviously harmful laws have been uploaded. Only the council or two soteria overseers together can authorize a law change outside of this situation.
|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §307
|Illegal Blocking of Areas
|To make an area inaccessible for those with appropriate access.
|Bolting doors or departments in which the offender does not have access to, taping off areas larger than needed or sealing off doors longer than needed.

This does not apply to situations that are needed, such as Guild critical repairs, or within SoP.

|Timer of no more than 25 minutes.

|-
| §308
|Infiltration
|To attempt to, or successfully, enter a high-security area without authorization.
|Areas include the gatehouse, colony fence, bridge, head of staff room, virology, toxin storage or other essential high-security areas.

If trespass into the vault, armory or AI upload occurs see '''Grand Trespass'''.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

|-
| §309
|Organizing a Breakout
|To attempt, or succeed, in freeing criminals from the brig or other holding areas.
|This includes breaking windows, barriers or hacking through doors either to break out of prison or to help a prisoner escape.
|Timer of no more than 30 minutes.

|-
| §310
|Severe Use of Excessive Force
|Critically injuring someone in defense of yourself or others while they no longer pose a threat, or seriously injuring a suspect while attempting to detain them.
|Severely injuring someone attacking you or others with no obvious threat to life, or panicking and shooting a suspect to near-death. Subjects who cannot be cuffed and have their legs broken as a result do not count if the subject refused to comply after 3 warnings and a witness is available to confirm each warning.
|Timer of no more than 40 minutes.

|-
| §311
|Breach of Salvage Rights
|To violate salvage rights by means of theft, 'claim jumping', or otherwise taking undue action against a rightful claimant.
|The consideration of the stolen item(s) value should be taken into account when issuing this charge. This charge may ```NOT``` be placed alongside any theft or grand-theft charges.
|Any stolen items should be returned to the proper salvage-claim holder. If the items are non-recoverable, or have been sold off, the offender is to repay that market-price of the stolen items to the victim. If the offender is not able to pay, apply specialty charge ```001 - Defaulting on Debt```.

A timer of no more than 20 minutes may be issued on the offender alongside a 250 credit fine.

|-
| §312
|Animal Cruelty
|To inflict unnecessary suffering or harm upon animals with malicious intent.
|Monkeys appropriately used for experiments or crew well-being (e.g genetics, virology, weapon testing, etc.) don't count. Shoving them in washing machines, or throwing them through disposals while still alive falls under this. Using them as food is a grey area; cows are generally fine, but monkey cubes and the like probably aren't.

Creatures typically considered pests (those that are by default hostile such as roaches or spiders) are not protected under this law if they aren't being kept in private areas such as personal dorms, or are fully tamed by a colonist. Tamed in this case means that they will not attack other colonists, or damage colony infrastructure.
|Timer of no more than 20 minutes.

Fine may be issued to cover the animals treatment if still alive. If not a 750 credit fine may be levied on top of the brig timer.

If any named Colony Pet (Ian, Tea, Graves, Lisa, PunPun, and other pets that spawn in the colony with a roundstart name (this does not include ones made in-round unless specific by the High Council through fax/announcement) was targeted, it is an automatic 90 minute sentence.

| §401
|Sabotage
|To hinder the efforts of the crew or station with malicious intent.
|This includes causing breaches, sabotaging air supplies, stealing vital equipment, etc. The intent is probably the most important bit here.

If the act is to purposefully cause imminent peril or to aid a hostile faction see '''Terrorism'''.
|Timer of no more than 45 minutes

|-
| §403
|Exceeding Official Powers
|To act beyond what is allowed by the chain of command.
|This is for anyone who abuses the power given to them, such as the premier acting like a security officer in a non-emergency, the warrant officer acting as if he is above the law, etc. Heads of staff trying to order a different department or ignoring a council vote also comes under this, as does security staff attempting to give orders to non-security without legal justification.
|Timer of no more than 40 minutes.

Demotion at the behest of the department head.

If a head of staff is responsible for over reaching a fax should be sent to the High Council to investigate a possible demotion.

|This includes causing death due to negligence or dereliction of duty. Can also be used as punishment for excessive self-defense.
|Timer of no more than 50 minutes.

Tracking implant upon release at the discretion of the WO.

|-
| §405
|Grand Theft
|To steal items that are of a dangerous, of high value, or of sensitive nature.
|This means high-value weapons or explosives, and also includes items of singular importance such as the station blueprints, chief biolab overseers hypospray, or items not easily replaced / are not replicable.

Items from the church, such as cruciforms, circuits, and disks are sole property of the church, they may demand them back regardless of how the person in question obtained them. Failure to do so is considered grand theft and failure to execute a lawful order.

|Timer of no more than 45 minutes and confiscation of stolen items.

If items cannot be recovered the offender is forced to monetarily compensate for the loss.

|-
| §406
|Operating Excelsior Equipment

|To be in illegal possession of or to actively operate Excelsior equipment.
|This applies to Excelsior batteries, guns or armor. Their lack of safety features, shoddily made structure and use in operation can endanger oneself or other colonists.

The usage of Excelsior tech also is a tell-tale sign of an Excelsior agent or collaborator.

Permits may be written in specific instances by the Warrant Officer, Brigadier, or the provost Marshal to override this law.

'''See Contraband Policy'''
|Immediate medical examination and confiscation of equipment.

If Excelsior implant is found and removed the subject should be placed under psychiatric evaluation until deemed fit. If deemed fit the offender should be released.

If Excelsior equipment is operated or sold but no implant is found see '''Terrorism'''.

|-
| §410
|Mistreatment of Prisoners
|To intentionally act, or cause an act that puts a non-hostile prisoner's well-being in danger.

|Timer of no more than 45 minutes.

Demotion at the decision of the WO.

|-
| §411
|Lacking Medical, Security, or Employment Records.
|To be a registered member of the colony without any form of qualified records.
|This does not apply to outsiders visiting the colony nor members of the Hunters Lodge.

All members of the colony are required to have fully detailed employment, security, and medical records at all times. Failure to have them is considered a crime.

Colonists without records lose all rights and are to be treated as hostile infiltrators, though for obvious reasons, should be detained peacefully.(Small inconsistencies are allowed, but encouraged to remedy when able.)

Record requirements can be seen on the [[Example_Paperwork#Character_Records|Character Records]] section of Example Paperwork.

Failure to have nanogates, or psionics in your records will result in an automatic 311 charge.
|HuT, unless the offending person wishes to cryo or take the lower colony elevator to fix their records, after which they may return to the surface level.

|-
| §413
|Unwilling Teleportation
|To teleport a person, with either psionic powers or bluespace technology, who is unwilling or does not consent to the testing of such equipment on themself.
|Teleportation devices used by non-sicence members count as '''Major Contraband'''. If a person does not consent actively to be teleported by another person, such as through a harpoon or portal-throwing, etc - this charge applies.
|A timer of no more than 90 minutes may be issued. If the victim dies as a means of this teleportation, see '''Murder''' or '''Manslaughter'''.

| §501
|Terrorism
|To engage in maliciously destructive actions, which seriously threaten the residents of the colony or even the colony's integrity as a whole.
|This includes deliberate arson, hostage taking, use of bombs, release of singularity, etc. In cases of terrorism, the provost marshal must be informed.
|Holding until Judgement.

Execution is encouraged; especially if deaths are caused by the action.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §502
|Mutiny
|To openly rebel against or attempt to remove command staff with violent intent to remove the command staff from power.
|One’s motive is important. If someone is just angry at a head of staff and murders them in a fit of rage, that's just regular murder. On the other hand, trying to take over the colony through violent means, lethal or not, is mutiny.
|Holding until Judgement.

Execution is an option.

|-
| §504
|Murder or Attempted Murder
|To willfully and intentionally kill or attempt to kill someone. To prevent a rightful revival or else render someone unrevivable through clear action.
|Clear intent is needed to prove a case of murder over manslaughter. While Manslaughter is unintentionally causing death through accident, or unintended consequences, Murder is a purposeful act with the intent to take the life of another.

Attempts to cover up an incident of Manslaughter may necessitate a charge of murder due to pre/post meditative evidence.
Additionally, should proof positive be obtained that indicates premeditation the penalty should be automatically adjusted to H.U.T and the low council should convene to determine if more extreme penalties are warranted, up to and including execution.

|If the victim is able to be revived a timer of no less than 90 minutes may be issued. The Council may meet to determine if this sentence be should be upgraded to HuT.

If the victim is deemed unable to be revived, such as through the destruction of a brain or body, execution may be issued at the behest of the Council.

Colony residents who commit murder '''should not be revived''' if they die unless stated otherwise by the Council.

|-
| §505
|Espionage
|To gain access to in-house or proprietary Designs, Documents, Programs, or otherwise vital assets of a Colony Faction or one of the Colony's allies.
|Whether by theft, trespass, or buying such items without the departmental head's explicitly written and shown permission.

Note that this does '''NOT''' include stealing items themselves, such as constructed Guild items or items purchased through the Lonestar Trade System -- only the theft of the program itself or the designs to make more of the Guild's items, or otherwise.

|Hold until Transfer. The stolen proprietary assets should be returned to the faction or ally they were stolen from immediately unless they are directly required to be used as evidence in a tribunal. Any items gathered or created with the proprietary assets should be given to the faction or ally as well.

|-
| §508
|Grand Trespass
|To trespass into an area of high security such as an AI upload or the Marshal armory without any reason to be there; especially when a head of staff or personnel with access to said area is present.
|This does not apply to emergency situations in which a staff member may not be active. In rare cases, such as a code red incident, it may be required that staff without access enter secure areas. This requires '''proper reasoning''' such as a case of imminent threat to the colony itself or it’s inheritance; such as from a rogue AI or hostile invasion.
|Holding until Transfer.

|-
| §509
|Escaping from HuT Sentence
|To attempt or successfully escape from the brig or other holding area when serving a holding until transfer sentence.
|The offender must have been properly judged by tribunal for holding until transfer to be legally issued.
|Execution.

A tribunal is not required under this circumstance, and is the only case where this is currently so.

Possible permanent removal from the colony.

|-
| §510
|Wrongful Execution
|To execute a crew member who later turned out to be innocent.
|This only counts when a tribunal was held and the order was given to execute someone based on faulty or poor evidence that is later debunked by additional evidence. If the tribunal process is skipped, or is carried out incorrectly such as having no premier sign off, then murder is added to the charges.

The warrant officer is punished and any individuals who deliberately produced false evidence are charged with '''Murder'''. Those who unintentionally provided incorrect evidence are charged with '''Manslaughter''' and '''Negligence'''.

It is also required to contact provost marshal Boris Kilmeade if this happens.

|Immediate demotion, suspension from command for a time determined by the High Council and holding until transfer.

Provost Marshal Boris Kilmeade may overrule or specify specifics to this punishment/timer.

|-
| §512
|Slavery
|To force someone to work for no payment through force, threats or purposefully neglecting to pay them. To abuse someone and hold them against their will is also applicable; see §203 (Illegal Detention, Arrest or Holding).
|This charge does not apply to the modifier '''Forced Labor''' unless it extends over 2 hours or is otherwise stated.

It is very possible that other charges may apply as the person might have been abused in some way or held against their will as well as robbed of their personal belongings. Make sure to charge the individual with all crimes committed.

|Timer of up to 60 minutes may be issued or, in cases where other crimes put the timer over 90 minutes, HuT may be issued.

|-
| §513
|Sexual Assault
|To assault, or attempt to assault, someone else sexually, including rape.
|This charge exists as a means to handle non-con scenes ICly, such as but not limited to: A player OOCly not consenting to a scene and reporting it. '''A-help staff when dealing with these charges.'''
|Permanent removal from the colony or execution.
|}

== Commentaries and Clarifications ==
* '''Common Areas''': Generally understood to be publicly accessible areas of the colony that are owned and maintained by the colony rather than as part of an individual department.
* '''Lethal Firearm''': A gun loaded or set to a fire mode that's main purpose is to inflict damage to put someone into a critical conduction and or kill. Rubbers when shot out of a gun that has mods to inflict additional damage onto the bullet itself automatically count as lethal.
* '''Cyborgification''' The removal of a person's brain for transplanting into a Cyborg Chassis as an alternative to execution. A prisoner who is sentenced to execution must request or consent to this.
* '''Dismissal''': Changing ID title to "Dismissed", which has zero access. Requires the judgement of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Demotion''': Can be demoted down to and including Assistant position. Requires the judgment of the prisoner's head of staff or the council to be valid.
* '''Employee''': Employee of the colony, as defined by the colonies commanding officers. All non-employee subjects are not protected by these laws.
* '''Empowering''': Illegal acquiring (not via Head of Personnel or Colony Director) of access.
* '''Execution''': Prisoner is killed via means of firing squad, lethal injection, or other means. It is required for the premier to be present or an execution may not proceed. It is required to offer the prisoner the option of how they prefer to die. They should also be offered a last meal. It is not required to follow these preferences if they are deemed unreasonable or impossible. In all cases of execution, respective faction owners should be informed of the execution and the crimes leading up to it. (( A PK may be applicable in this situation. See [[Permanent Death]] for OOC details. ))
* '''Head of Staff''': Crew members occupying one of the following positions: Premier, Guild Master, Blackshield Commander, Warrant Officer, Chief Biolab Overseer, Chief Research Overseer, Chief Executive Officer.
* '''Imminent Peril''': A situation in which there is an apparent and immediate threat of serious injury or death, and it is not possible to escape this threat. Obvious examples are shooting someone trying to stab people. A less obvious example is shooting someone trying to sabotage Atmospherics. Lethal force is justified in such a situation because there's no other options remaining.
* '''HuJ / Holding Until Judgement''': Held (in the brig) until a tribunal is done, or the shift ends. Whichever happens first.
* '''HuT / Holding Until Transfer''': Held (in the brig) until the shift ends. This becomes HuJ when a tribunal is being held for the prisoner.
* '''Severe Injury''': A state in which the victim is in a critical condition and is having difficulty maintaining consciousness.

Demotion and dismissal also require the removal of equipment from the previous job. Uniforms, weapons, bombs, PDA cartridges, etc.

For the purposes of Cyborg/AI laws, crew members that have been convicted, or are being held in detention, are considered to be below even the AI/Cyborgs in terms of rank.

Serving sentences in jail can be replaced with forced labor in some cases.

In cases where the final sentence is more than 90 minutes, it is changed to holding until judgment.

The standard penalty can be applied without a tribunal by Security Officers. Tribunals can assign lesser or higher ones, depending on the circumstances.

== OOC Notes ==
* It's vital to know that the involvement of faction owners means involvement of admins. However, if that happens, admins will try to keep in character. Ergo, the character is '''not''' going to magically know attack logs or fingerprints or anything else they don't know IC, because it's like playing a game with cheat codes. It's fun to screw off for a little while, but then it's going to get really boring.
** The above also applies in the case of admins playing normal security.
** The only exception to the above is in the case of potentially removing a character from the station. See [[Permanent Death]] for details. Admins are not going to PK someone who they know OOCly didn't actually do the crime. If you are guilty though an a execution happens, the chance of permanent removal is extremely high. Contact an admin to find out if an executed character has been removed forever.
* '''Laws ARE NOT RULES for the server itself!''' That means, so long as you have a believable in-character motive for breaking these regulations, you won't get banned for it, especially if good roleplay is your end goal. Conversely, if you're just going around smashing windows for shits and giggles, you're ''obviously'' going to get yelled at by an admin. See [[Rules|the actual server rules]] for more details.

Example Paperwork

2023-01-20T02:28:19Z

Rebel0: Finally goes and adds what others said they would for a year. More to come regarding license templates; records templates now fit required Law Record Requirements.

Welcome to the most useful page for in-depth role-players! Listed below are the examples of how to properly format in-game paperwork! '''We do not enforce the use of this paperwork exactly how it is presented here this is simple to give you a good base.''' Much of this work has been siphoned off from many different places in the SS13 community. Notable examples being two Separate [http://baystation12.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6193 Baystation] -- [http://baystation12.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6193 forum] posts, and parts of the [https://doku.ss13polaris.com/doku.php?id=game:guides:paperwork:example_paperwork Polaris] wiki. These examples already have most of the special notation included, But if you wish to learn what each of these notes mean, and how to use it in your own custom paperwork also see: [[Guide to Paperwork]].

= Character Records =
Character records are a borderline ''requirement'' for those playing within the colony itself. Hunters and Outsiders are exempt from needing records, but joining the colony without records can lead to a swift arrest or hassle by security forces. Due to the station of the colony on a dangerous frontier all newcomers are monitored and logged into systems.

Players who are playing colonists should fill out Employment, Security, and Medical records with at least a bare minimum detail. One may go further in depth if desired to provide roleplay and context to one's records.

These records should be filled out as if they are written by corporate staff, they should '''NOT''' be an autobiography of your characters life. (I.e - "I have blue eyes and short hair, a dark and deep past. . . ") Please be sure that records do not conflict with lore on the server and match our server "[[rules]]". Remember; some records are better than no records, and sometimes shorter but descriptive records are better than longer records full of filler.

A guide has been provided below along with the records of which parts of records are needed and any notes to go along with what should be in the records section.

=== Employment: ===
'''The required sections are:''' Education Summary, Current Qualifications (if none, put 'none') and Current Certifications (if none, put 'none').

'''Note:''' Be realistic with your summaries of education, employment, etc. Being employed by an illegal criminal syndicate would not be something you write as an employment record. Similarly keep real-life references to education institutes or real life corporations to a minimum. While something like McRonalds is acceptable something such as: "Graduate of Penn State University" should be omitted.

===Soteria Institute Policies===
By Gidgit
<pre>
[center][table][row][cell][b]SOTERIA INSTITUTE POLICIES[/b][/table]COLONIST PSA[/center]

[b][u][center]SOTERIA MEDICAL[/center][/u][/b][b]All critical[/b] forms of healing such as [b]defibbing, surgery, and use of chemicals[/b] are [b]free the first time[/b] they are given to a single colonist [b]per shift[/b].

If the treatment is [b]not critical[/b], the colonist [b]may decide to pay[/b] instead of receiving free treatment. [i]Deciding to pay will retain your first free treatment.[/i]

All situations after that a doctor may charge a patient for treatment should they find themselves getting repeatedly injured. This charge is solely up to the CBO or treating doctors discretion, they may elect not to charge an individual should they believe the person did not put themselves recklessly in danger (accidents do happen), should a patient be unable to pay their medical bills, contact security. Soteria-Science division is subject to this rule as well if no doctors are around.

Corpsman or other medically trained professionals not affiliated with Soteria should utilize their own departmental or personal supplies first, before using Soteria Supplies. If no doctors are present, the supplies may be utilized but should be replaced as soon as possible, this includes using your own personal funds. Otherwise, this constitutes as theft and you may be forced to pay for the replacement.

Prices for Treatment

Reconstructive surgery and defibbing: 500 credits
Use of bruise packs, advanced ointment, burn cream, and bandages: 75 credits. This can add up if charges are used or the supplies are entirely used up.
Use of chemicals made by the chemistry lab: At minimum of 2 credits or maximum 10 credits per unit at discretion of medical staff.
Use of a sleeper: 150 credits
In the event someone cannot pay prior to treatment, you may refuse treatment, but only if this is the second time treating them that shift and the doctor in question wishes to charge them. If the person is incapable of declaring intention to pay (they are dead or unconscious) payment is assumed and a debt incurred. Inability to pay the bill after revival by either refusal or lack of funds requires intervention from security (defaulting on medical bills is a crime).

[center]SOTERIA SCIENCE DIVISION[/center]
Medical Treatment
If there are no doctors or corpsman avaliable the Science Division may help out in the treatment center.
Roboticists, who are expected to be trained in surgery, are preferred over Scientists
All Medical SOP applies to the Science Division

[hr][br]
[b]Golden rule:[/b] [center]Keep communications up at all times on the Security Channel and
report all movements, arrests and all security matters over the radio.[/center][br]
[hr][br]
[b]Guidelines[/b][br]
[*]Talk first, stun second.[br]
[*]Always call for backup before attempting to confront a possibly dangerous criminal.[br]
[*]Charge your weapons after every usage.[br]
[*]Stay calm under all circumstances, anger and fear show weakness.[br]
[*]Always lock Security lockers & logout of security terminals after each use.[br]
[*]Seal off crime scenes and wait for forensics personnel to arrive.[br]
[*]Avoid using force where possible.[br]
[*]Inform the Ranger when a criminal is wanted and set their wanted status via your security hud if possible.[br]
[*]Respect the chain of command! The Ranger outranks you within the brig itself and for criminal sentencing. The Warrant Officer outranks him.[br]
[*]Remember your priorities: One punch is hardly something to arrest anyone over if there is a hostage situation.[br]

Rules

2022-12-21T22:13:34Z

Rebel0: /* Do not disrupt non-public ERP scenes */

{{GetStartedHeader}}

These are the rules for the server and ''are subject to change without notice''. For further clarification, use common sense. If you did get banned, there's probably a good reason for it, but if you disagree, you can always make an appeal on the discord. Although these are rules, but they are not infallible, complete, or concrete, and probably never will be despite our best efforts. If ''ever'' something feels wrong, either don't do it, or admin-help it first. Above all, use your common sense, listen to the game staff, and try to keep the game fun for everyone; not just yourself.

If you disagree with the rules as they currently stand, talk about it on the discord or with admins and maybe we can improve them through some healthy criticism and debate.

'''These rules are designed to be written in such a way that you can ''usually'' understand them just by reading the headers''', because reading ''all of this'' would be insanity for most people. If you cannot understand a rule just by looking at it, or wish to know about possible exceptions or examples, click the rule to learn more.

If you find yourself spending too much time reading this page, or are confused about any rules, please contact an admin on Discord to make suggestions on how these rules could be better worded.

== You must be 18 or older to play on this server ==
'''There are no exceptions.''' If the staff suspects that you are underage for any reason, you will be banned from playing on the server until you are able to prove to the satisfaction of the staff that you are at least 18 years old.

*Use of real world slurs, ‘lolspeak’, and other indications of immaturity may be taken as signs that you are underage.

*Knowing another user is underaged but not reporting it is considered grounds for an immediate, permanent ban.

*The age of consent in your country is irrelevant. Your opinion about this rule is irrelevant.

*You may also not play a character who is under 18 years of age.

== Obey the community's global rules ==
These rules apply ''everywhere'', including Discord, the server, and even private discussions with non-admins. However, not all of the global rules are even possible to break in the server, so this wiki page only covers what's relevant to the game server. The overlap from the global rules are:

* No spam.
* No OOCly illegal discussions or content (such as child porn, drugs, piracy, real world threats, etc).
* Respect other users, don't use real-world slurs, and don't intentionally drag private conflicts or in-game conflicts into public OOC (such as on the Discord server, the in-game global OOC channel, or anywhere else).
* Don't intentionally abuse server functions to upset (grief) people, or derail discussions. You know what this means, don't play stupid.
* No complaining about bans unless done properly via an appeal on our [https://sojourn13.space/forum/viewforum.php?f=13 forums] or in an ahelp or otherwise private means as an inquiry to administration staff.

== Don't be an asshole ==
It's fine to say stuff and whatnot but being a outright dick isn't alright, and there's a fine line with that. Also, spamming racist words is still not okay.

=== Do not inconvenience AFK or disconnected characters ===
Under normal circumstances, do not harm or otherwise inconvenience characters whose player is idle, ghosted, or disconnected entirely. There are some exceptions to this rule, as follows:
*Circumstance that warrant the interactions of AFK/SSD players are few and far between if there is ever a case were you are REQUIRED for to take any ID/Bag/Gear from someone that is SSD, Ahelp before hand and with your reason why. Not ahelping before may result in HARSH OOC punishment if you are found to be manipulating them while away, or causing any sort of general tampering with the player. (IE. Don't be an asshole who steals shit from afk players unless its required)
Note: If your moving someone to cryo after the time, this is ok, as long as you do not remove their items unless it's faction important and you have the means to return them properly
*If they've disconnected/idle for more than 15 minutes, you can put them in cryosleep. If you do that, take away all of their belongings except for their jumpsuit, shoes, ID, and PDA, and return everything else to its rightful department.
*If they've committed a crime, jail them as you normally would and conduct their sentence even if they aren't connected. 20 minutes in the brig is still 20 minutes in the brig.
*Emergencies bypass this rule. If it's an emergency and you need something an idle player has to fix it, you may take it. If a fire starts in a room and the AFK player is the only one who can open the door then it's an emergency. Needing to get a snack from the kitchen and robbing the chef does not count as an emergency.

=== ERP preferences must be respected ===
Players should have their ERP prefs listed in their “OOC Meta info” or “OOC Notes” on their characters. You are required to respect these preferences so long as they pertain to ERP. If you are unsure about the meaning of some of their preferences, then use LOOC to discuss it with them. If you accidentally go against someone’s preferences, or someone else goes against yours, work to correct it as quickly as possible, even if that means just deciding in LOOC amongst yourselves that ‘this didn’t happen’ and going your separate ways.

*If you do not like someone's erp preferences you won't be punished for saying so, but do not harass someone just because they like something you don't. It's far easier to simply avoid someone and causing drama will get you into trouble.

*If you are uncomfortable with an ERP theme that you hadn't thought to add (or didn't know existed) to a list of dislikes in your OOC notes, speak up in LOOC as normal. Conversely, those of you foolish enough to put 'anything goes' into your preferences, or anything else vague like this, do so at your own risk. '''You forfeit your right to complain about preference breaking''' if you do not put ''some'' indication of your dislikes into OOC preferences.

**'''Do not OOCly consent to an non-consensual scene and attempt to report it ICly or OOCly.''' This is effectively ''forcing'' players to engage in your fetish scene. Topics like this may make players incredibly uncomfortable or distressed. Do not do this. If you have ''not'' consented to the scene - A-help '''IMMEDIATELY'''.
**Do not do scenes such as this in public. Ever. You will not only be player killed (PK) but also have further punishments put upon you. If you want to opt-in for a scene as such, take it to dorms or a area defined properly as a private area.
**Do not make false allegations of non-consensual scenes in game. Falsely accusing someone of rape or other non-consensual material will result in an immediate ban. This is incredibly bad faith and petty.
**'''Being found in violation of NON-CON rule(s) will be met with an automatic player kill (PK) and Perma Ban with no appeal given investigation. You've been warned as this is not tolerated here.'''

*Do not attempt to force yourself into ERP scenes where the other party (or parties) involved are not comfortable with it, or not even actually participating. This includes (but is not limited to) repeatedly trying to do ERP that a player has blatantly stated they are uncomfortable with, trying to guilt players into having a pity RP with you, etc. You get the idea. Don't do it.

*AFK/SSD/Disconnected players are not valid targets for any ERP.

=== The private areas are protected ===
The ‘dorms’ area on the map are reserved for ERP and are ‘protected’ from interruption. It is a violation of this rule to break into occupied dorms or harass players in dorms. Dorm areas are any personal apartments generally restricted to a specific person such as a head of staffs private bedroom or a dorm area claimed by a specific person, usually through a labeled door.
*The only exception is for security to arrest those who have committed crimes. Security is not allowed to indiscriminately inspect dorms for crimes, but a known criminal hiding in a dorm is not protected by this rule.
*Conversely, it is not permissible to attempt to use dorms to hide from security, or to make their job of finding you harder. The dorms are for people who want to ERP in privacy. Don’t involve them in your shenanigans.

=== Do not disrupt non-public ERP scenes ===
TL;DR is you should avoid screwing with scenes that are not in public areas. The problem is, not everyone knows what is considered public or private. This is especially important for [[Security]] players to know.
*Dorms are considered private obviously. Don't mess with those under any circumstances unless someone inside actively invites you. (Calling for help is considered an invite.)
*If a person is ERPing in a public location they should be asked to vacate to a private dorm room. If they refuse they may be arrested immediately.

=== Speak English ===
We are an English server. All OOC communications are expected to be done in English. It's alright if your English is rough and imperfect, just as long as we can reasonably understand it.

*This also extends into IC communications, but is more flexible as some characters have heavy accents.
*Having a character sometime speak smatterings of other languages is acceptable, but speaking exclusively in these languages for entire sentences is not.

=== Roleplay as long as it's feasible ===
*This is an HRP (Heavy RolePlay) server. You are expected to roleplay your actions with other players as long as it's feasible. If someone engages you in purely ‘robust’ (aka game-mechanics driven) combat while you were attempting to roleplay with them, with no reasonable provocation, please use the admin-help feature to inform an admin.
**Reasonable provocation would be things that deem you too dangerous to be given even a chance to talk. For example, openly wielding a gun while threatening people, charging someone with a knife, trying to create a hazard, or being the target of a manhunt.

*If a fight does begin, you're not expected to type out every gunshot and dodge and attack. That would be absurd. Generally, you roleplay up until the point that it makes sense to start attacking, and then use game mechanics from there. You are allowed to respond to ‘robust’ violence with your own, if you desire, though you should attempt to return to roleplaying as soon as feasible. The environment is not designed for a focus on action, but rather for character-building and roleplaying. When a fight is over, resume roleplaying.

*Movement is considered a game mechanic for the purpose of this rule. Wordlessly running at a security officer who is attempting to arrest you, or wordlessly fleeing from them, is considered engaging in game-mechanic combat. The security officer has valid cause to stop trying to roleplay and stunlock you into the ground.

*Death may not be uncommon at the frontiers of space but it is still impactful. When a character dies, or your own character dies and is revived, death should be considered an immensely painful and graphic experience. One should stay in character during said experiences, statements of ‘oh well’ or mutilating a corpse for ‘fun’ would not be reasonable responses.

=== Do not join with an inappropriate ckey ===
Ckeys, better known as BYOND user names, must be appropriate. If any are deemed inappropriate, the ckey will be banned and you will be unable to play on our server until you make an account with an appropriate name.
*Ckeys that mock certain players or groups are an example of inappropriate.
*Ckeys that violate BYOND's terms of service may also be reported.

=== Do not misuse Global OOC ===
Many servers simply mute global OOC. We do not, because the OOC command is useful to have on in an RP heavy server.

* Global OOC is used, for instance, to contact someone you were typing a reply to had walked out of the room before you were done, and you're trying to ask them to come back. It's also useful if you're a new player, or an old player exploring new mechanics, who asks something like, "How do I make Tricord again?" or something short and similar. Short, sweet, and relevant OOC messages are generally okay. Welcoming old players returning, or new players joining, is also generally okay.

* Global OOC is ''not'' for idle banter, ranting, things pertaining to incidents in the current round (see previous rule), in-depth explanations (an explanation that takes more than a few lines), shitposting memes, or discussing topics not relating directly to the game. If you want to chatter OOCly, go to our Discord channel, which is linked from the home page or use LOOC so as to not disturb the rest of the server.

* Also, if someone does misuse OOC, do not complain in global OOC about their misusing of global OOC. Not only are you just making the problem worse, that is considered being a backseat admin, which is prohibited by other rules.

== Keep IC and OOC separate ==
*IC (In-character) and OOC (Out-of-Character) actions and knowledge should be separated as much as possible. Don't use OOC channels to discuss what's going on IC until after the round is finished, don't use OOC knowledge to do things your character wouldn't know, such as operate medical machines when a cargo technician. You are not playing yourself in the game, you are controlling a character with their own wants and knowledge and the IC/OOC boundary is to help reflect that.
**Note that these same rules apply to LOOC as well.
*Don't complain in OOC when your actions IC get you in trouble. This is self explanatory.
*Disconnecting or using other OOC means to avoid IC consequences is against the rules. If you do urgently need to leave the server even though you're being punished, your options are either to surrender and get it over with, or use admin help to inform the admins, "I know Security is after me, but I have to go because (some emergency)." Failure to take ten seconds to tell an admin before disconnecting may result in harsher punishment.

=== Metacomms, metagaming, multi-keying, (etc) are not allowed ===
*Metacomms: Using third-party programs, such as Discord, IRC, Skype, or even the BYOND pager, to discuss and share information of the ongoing round. This excludes other players, can contribute to toxicity among the playerbase, and is often a tactic used by griefers and thus is a no-go.

*Metagaming: Using information obtained from elsewhere to influence IC decisions and actions. Your opinions or knowledge of other players or characters obtained via OOC methods should not direct your IC actions. If you have an OOC grudge against someone, you may not try to antagonize them IC, for example.
** Metagaming sometimes happens by accident due to game mechanics behaving undesirably due to intentional features or unintentional bugs and oversights. If it happens, ask an admin to help straighten things out if you can't do so among yourselves.

*Multi-keying: Logging in with multiple BYOND accounts on our game server. There is never any legitimate reason for you to do this and thus is not allowed.

== Create and play server-appropriate characters ==
Although this is a furry roleplaying server based around 2D spess mans, that doesn't mean anything goes because that is possible. Suspension of disbelief is still important to a good experience, and breaking that suspension of disbelief is bad for roleplaying. Characters who break that suspension of disbelief are not allowed. Saying "it's what my character would do" isn't an automatic protection against this rule if what your character is doing breaks that immersion.

*Play a reasonably sane and mature character, give them a non-immersion breaking first and last name, do not play obvious reference characters, or characters from published works.

*Keep in mind that people do not like pain or dying and usually try to avoid it without good reason. Give your character a reasonable set of strengths, fears, and weaknesses. When writing things for IC, write things out that sound like speech, not emoticons or lolspeak.

*The setting contains no magic. Your character cannot have any superpowers, magical abilities, or anything that does not exist in the setting or cannot be reasonably replicated with game mechanics. If they are not someone who has a good reason to work on the colony, they should not be here.
**The exception to this is purely private roleplay. For example: If your character and another character are in a dorm by themselves, and the other is OOCly fine with it, your character can display potentially supernatural abilities. This is limited to that roleplay, though. You should not discuss anything about that in public. Use magic at your own risk however, because technically the moment your RP is discovered by someone else, it stops being private, putting you in potential violation of this rule.

*Obscenely oversized or undersized characters are forbidden. Minimum height is at least four feet. Maximum height is about eight feet. Anything more or less really pushes the already shaky believably of abhumans and established alien lore.

*If you are playing a lore based species such as sablekyne, mar'qua, opifex, or whatever else we add in the future, you are expected to play the race as they are canonically meant to be played.

*OOC Notes and Flavor Text are '''required'''. Your OOC notes must detail your ERP preferences, and your flavor text should not include non-physical attributes (do not include feelings your character has, or how they act). Character records are something that should be filled out, if you have an issue or don't know how to do it properly, contact a member of staff for help.

*To be a colonist your character '''must''' have at least a ''basic'' understanding of the English language. Outsiders, however, are exempt from this restriction and may be of people from various backgrounds that may not have a grasp of even basic English.

*If your character is suspended, permanently killed off, or otherwise removed from the colony as a consequence for something horrible they did in-character, you are expected to not play that character anymore. If found playing the character again, or a 'clone' to circumvent this result, OOC punishment will be issued.

* '''Do not play vibrantly colored or "sparkle dog" type characters.''' This basically means you should mainly have natural fur coloration and a relatively normal appearance. Yes, our character editor has a ton of color options, including neon colors and many design sprites to do strange things. Creativity is fun, making your appearance incredibly unrealistic or as obnoxious as possible will result in admin intervention. Some leeway is given to races with canonically vibrant colors such as cht'mants and cindarites or custom xenos but try to keep them muted instead of neon. Following the custom species guide does not make you immune from this rule. If an admin asks you to change your color, do so, we have this rule to maintain HRP.

=== Do not kill or attack things (including yourself) for no good reason ===
*This includes yourself. Even in self-defense your goal is to fight off your attacker and survive, killing in a fight should only be done as a last-ditch effort when it's clear it's a you or them situation.

*Suicide or self-mutilation is almost NEVER allowed without prior consent from an admin. Contact an admin if you want to have a character commit suicide. Typically the manner in which suicide is carried out is played as an in-game attention grab and without actual compelling reasons. This can upset those that find this subject OOCly uncomfortable. The punishment for suicide is nearly always a permanent ban, so think about that before you kill yourself.

*Excessive responses are also covered by this. Caving in someone's skull for cutting in line, stabbing yourself in the eye with a screwdriver because you are bored, or jumping off a railing because you're sad, are all examples of being excessive.

*Outsiders due to their nature and ability to be killed on sight are allowed to kill and or attack people as they see fit, within reason. If Outsiders determine it's a good idea to move against the gate and attack it, and end up murdering half the colony, there will still be problems. This is not a license to self-antag every round, only to cause issues while outside the walls.

*While Antags -- that being self-antags and staff-chosen ones -- are allowed to kill and place bodies out of the way, it's still frowned upon to go out of the way to hide or stash a body in a location without any reason for prolonged times. Attempting to PK people by doing so will result in administrative actions, and even if that isn't the intent, it violates the spirit of the server and may be punished regardless.

=== Do not powergame ===
*Better known as 'playing to win'. As a security person this can be seen as going out of your way and needlessly endangering others to ‘win against’ criminals. As the Colony AI exploiting loopholes in your laws to get yourself out of them or getting the person who subverted you into trouble is another way. There is an implicit allowance for lawed characters to ERP. You may create loopholes for this reason only.

*While this shares several things in common with other rules, it still is it's own entity. Play to have fun, allow yourself to lose now and again and roll with the blows as it can make things potentially even more interesting.

*Having '''way''' too many skills for one character is another example of this. Just because you're the premier and have access to everywhere doesn't mean you should (or can) know how to do all the different jobs. (See [[Character Creation#Give them a set of skills|Character Creation]] regarding skills for more information.)

*[[Identifying Antagonists]] when you shouldn't be able to is also a violation of this rule.

=== Do not godmode ===
* Often confused with powergaming, godmoding is to create abilities out of nowhere, or do impossible things. If the action cannot be reasonably emulated in the confines of the game's mechanics, and it gives you some kind of advantage or is exceptionally weird, it's probably not allowed. For example, if you don't have access to a mechanic for turning invisible, you can't turn invisible. Saying you're invisible doesn't mean squat.

* Creating a character who is immune to injuries or pain also falls under this. The game won't let you ignore getting shot, why would any player allow it either?
** If your character is literally coded to ignore pain, you can ignore pain. Cyborgs and robots are a notable example. They do not feel pain. They are not immune to injury, however.

* Accidental injuries are still in-character injuries unless an admin heals you. Admin heals are generally out of character to void the injury.

* '''Admins who are caught abusing admin powers to godmod will be immediately dealt with.'''

===Do not abuse whispers===
Any actions that would obviously be visible should not be hidden using whispers, this includes ERP, whispers longer than a sentence, or actions that would obviously be visible to anyone glancing you way. If you need to speak something longer than a sentence but want to keep it quiet use the whisper command. Anyone caught using whispers to hide obviously visible actions of paragraphs of texts will get slapped for it.

=== Rules of ‘Self-Antag’ ===
To start with here are some of the bare bone basic rules when self-antagging without properly a-helping for full antag.
* Do not be hostile to other crew for no legitimate reason.
* Don’t break things, steal things.
* Do NOT be Self-Antag without proper IC reasoning. Reasoning along the lines of "I'm bored" or "Giving Security something to do" is NOT a valid reason to be an asshole. Make sure your reason(s) are believable and why your actions make logical IC sense to any Admin
* Think about how a normal person would behave under similar circumstances. A well established character who has been around awhile may be given a bit of wiggle room to keep rounds interesting.

Things that are off limits without Ahelping and getting cleared with an admin before head are
* Breaking into earther of the armories that are maintained by the colony.
* The AI room and killing/modifieing the AI without a good reason.
* Heads of Staff rooms to steal unreplaceable gear/artifacts
* The spare ID in the Premier's office.
** The council may ''borrow'' the spare to handle activities such as issuing a new or missing ID, but are ''NOT'' to abuse it without A-helping first.

One key thing to remember is in any scenario you should be running/non-lethally fighting security when they come to arrest you unless you want to comply for a shorter sentencing. Always aim to escape and try not to ever use lethal methods else if someone dies you may be perma-brigged or executed. Security can have fun chasing and fighting a criminal, just be wary of pitfalls, nobody likes fighting a no-rp character, build things up first before jumping straight to mechanics.

Ask yourself these few questions.
* 'Would people have fun if I did this or no?'
* 'Does my character believe they have a legitimate good reason to be doing this?'
Going further into it, actions have consequences, if you're caught. If you're unsure if doing this or that is a-okay, then it would be best to check with a staff member beforehand.

'''Once you've become established and been around enough here are some guides and tips to self antagging:'''
The key goal to self antagging is to create roleplay that is enjoyable or otherwise fun for players to interact with to differ from the norm. Below are a list of examples but you should always consider "are other people having fun or am I just being a dick?"
* Buying and selling contraband.
* Starting a drug production operation in a secluded spot in the colony.
* Disguising yourself as a specific department and gaining access to it while pretending to be a member of that department until someone notices.
* Extorting people for cash with a good old fashioned mugging.

One thing to keep in mind when doing this is the fine line between being an enjoyable self antag and a griefer. Below is a list of things someone who self antags should be wary of.
* Don't complain when you lose or get brigged for a long time. Whatever punishment you receive as a self antag are a example of the rule that you agreed to in terms of handling consequences.
* Never use explosives that cause serious damage or ruin someone's round, without admin approval. A flashbang or force bomb so tiny it doesn't even break tiles? That's okay. A plasma bomb? You will get banned.
* Don't kill other players as a general rule. Not only will this get you killed or perma-brigged yourself but admins will immediately be alerted to your shenanigans if they haven't already and will be scrutinizing you far closer. Causing someone to die but still capable of revival is a little more acceptable then crushing someone's brain and removing them from the round entirely. Any forms of perma death will attract admin attention incredibly fast.
* Do not self antag more than once a day. Seriously, doing it every single time you play will swiftly get admin intervention. Once in awhile is good RP but every shift is a pain.
As a general rule, if nobody complains about your actions its assumed they are enjoying your shenanigans, but complaints will gain the staff attention and have use look through logs to see if you acted in a way that is good roleplay. If someone does complain immediately in LOOC because you sedated them or so, ignore them and continue on. Staff will handle such matters accordingly as immediate LOOC salt is not a good response.

*You cannot have a character with an “antagonist” background. Your ex-mercenary ex-ninja ex-cultist is not allowed, but certain criminal backstories might be okay. If in doubt, ask an admin.

*We play on ‘Extended’ round type most of the time, and this means that there are no automatically chosen antagonist roles. Most other SS13 servers have antags, but we do not. Any antagonists are staff-selected players, picked to play a specific role.

*And finally although we all enjoy creating interesting RP situations and getting immersed in the round, it is frowned on by staff to "start shit" near round end (15-30mins.)No one wants to wait around for some dumb-ass to have their 30+ mins of glory while we all wait for you to get arrested/investigated/faxed/ect. These situations happen sometimes and we understand that, but do TRY to avoid it. Staff is encouraged to enforce account strikes &/or temporary bans or more if you are shown to be a consistent issue.

Remember that if you ''are'' selected to be an antagonist-type role, it ''does'' give you some wiggle room than usual as far as the server rules go, but it '''does not''' give you permission to ''break'' any rules. Stick to your objectives, don't be over-the-top and ruining everyone else's fun if you can avoid it. Ask for admin help if you're not sure.

=== You are expected to perform the job you signed up for ===
When your character joins the round, you are accepting the responsibilities that the job you have chosen brings with it. Remember: if you are playing in a slot, you are likely preventing other players from performing that role. It is important that you fulfill the tasks that you have signed up for!
*Marhals should protect the colony from danger, the guild should ensure that power is up and that people can breathe, medical should provide treatment to injuries and other services, cargo should bring in needed cargo on request, Science should do... science stuff, and service should provide food. Command's job is to make sure at least these basics are being fulfilled, and to react accordingly in an emergency.

*A player must take into account the qualifications (both physical and mental) of their character’s role before placing them into it. If staff find your character to be unsatisfactory in fulfilling the requirements of the role, we may instruct you to revise your character.
**This includes majorly disabled characters — quadruple amputees, deaf, or blind characters, and so on — which are only permitted on the colony in the assistant (and associated alt-titles) job slot.

*Repeatedly failing to perform to an acceptable standard can result in a ban untill appealed.

*Job strikes are a counter of 0/3 which is noted on your character, after 3 job strikes, which can be earned by bad faxes or legitimate demotions from a head of staff, your character is permanently fired from that department until an appeal is made. Job strikes last 3 months, with the timer resetting with each strike.

*If you are going AFK for an extended period of time (more than 15 minutes), and are occupying a limited-number job slot (any slot other than assistant), you must remove your character from the round using a cryopod (or other similar means) to free the slot. Repeated failure to do this may result in being banned from that job.

*Do not do other people’s jobs. If you joined as medical, do not attempt to hunt down criminals. If you joined as engineering, do not attempt to perform medical treatment on your coworkers. If you are a head position, allow your staff to do work before you do the work yourself; you are a supervisor and manager first and foremost as a head position.

*Do not hijack other people's jobs. For example, if you're a roboticist but someone needs surgery, and there's already a surgeon who isn't currently busy, then don't perform the surgery instead of letting them do it. Similar examples exist with every department, so use your judgement. Basically, if you're ''actively getting in the way'' of someone else trying to do their job, you're probably breaking this rule.

*Playing jobs that can be called upon at any time to assist other crew members in emergencies waives your right to have interruption-free (E)RP sessions in private, including the dorms. If you join as a Lifeline Tech, expect to be interrupted out of private scenes. If you’re an engineer, you are expected to set up power systems and repair any large-scale damage that hampers the rest of the crew, regardless of your intent to have sex with the assistants. (Example: The premier getting their rocks off with someone while they are being called to assist with colony matters. They signed up to be the arbiter of colony matters. ERP is not what you are here for in that role. "saying you are busy or occupied" will incur a job strike.)

*If you do prospecting as an non-prospector for more than 30-60 minutes without being in an expedition with them and you are not doing your job, you may get a talking to. If you want to play like a prospector - just play the job instead of ignoring the one you signed up for.

*Maintenance diving is not a valid reason to be busy from your assigned job. If you are requested to perform the actions of your role while maintenance diving it is expected that you make your way out of maintenance in a timely manner.

=== You are expected to obey the chain of command (within reason) ===
*Each head of staff is the de facto leader of their department, so listen to them. Likewise, you should obey decisions from faction owners (if a fax arrives) or council decisions unless directly overridden by an admin. If you consistently do not follow reasonable orders, you will be job banned.

*If you're playing a role that has [[AI#Interpreting_Your_Laws|AI laws]], you must obey these laws first and foremost to the best of your ability.

*As any role without AI laws, you can disobey orders you think are traitorous, harmful, immoral, or violating [[Laws]]. Use your judgement and consider whether or not disobeying the order could get you in trouble or get someone else horribly killed.

*If you are given an order or AI law that may break another server rule, please alert the admins for a second opinion before continuing.

Mind you, this is '''not''' a rule that lets people be fun police as heads of staff. If you feel that someone is ordering you do things that basically require you ''not'' to do your job, or to do your job in ways that aren't important/fun, then contact an admin for a second opinion or fax a faction owner in character.

=== You are expected to forget events that are deemed non-canon ===
*This is to keep things a little more sane in-round, and to allow for players with preferences in non-consensual activities to have their fun with people who share those prefs as victims. It is therefore against this rule to remember and abuse the knowledge of who killed/raped after the round has passed unless both people involved agree. You should not have the memory to antagonize or persecute your attacker without the prior OOC agreement of the other parties in the roleplay. They can include this consent in their OOC Metainfo/Notes or discuss it with you in LOOC before or after the roleplay.

*Keep in mind that non-consensual RP, while OOC, is fine it is not on an IC level. Characters who make their non-con actions public or get caught in the act can and will be permanently killed if caught. For example, if a person is tried and executed for rape that character is permanently dead and cannot reappear on the colony. If you wish to do non-con keep it private. '''You've been warned.'''

*The round ending does not make you immune to a character perma-kill. Just because you evaded capture or was not killed by the time it restarted does not mean everyone forgets what your character did. If you get caught and the evidence is ironclad enough, you will be PK'd.

*This rule also applies to events that cause catastrophic damage to the colony, such as a code red/delta scenario. As a general rule event coordinators '''should''' say before or after an event if it is non-canon or not.

*If you are killed in a round and then revived in the same round, you're memory is entirely intact and may act accordingly.

= The intent of the rules is more important than the letter =
The purpose of the rules is to preserve a fun and enjoyable environment for all players. If everyone is enjoying themselves even while the ‘letter’ of a rule is not being followed, it’s likely that no staff intervention will be required. On the other hand, just because something isn't in the rules doesn't mean it's okay or allowed if it's upsetting a large number of players.

*It is within admin staff's discretion to decide that certain actions violate one or more rules, even if the specific action is not listed as part of the rule. This is simply the job of the staff to interpret the rules. You can appeal decisions to other admins if you believe one has a bias against you, but doing so after a ruling is passed will get you in trouble.

*Plenty of rules are left vague enough to cover as much as possible without being too oppressing. Attempting to rules-lawyer saying that "this rule doesn't specifically say I can't do X", even if what you are doing is disrupting the server, will generally be ignored. We assume most of you have enough common sense to recognize what a [[#Create_and_play_server-appropriate_characters|sane and stable individual]] would and wouldn't do within this fictional setting.

=== Listen to admin staff ===
* One admin's word is usually as good as any other. Though, just because one admin says something is okay in that moment does not mean it will always be okay under another admin or even the same admin.
** If this causes a contradiction, you can (and should) inform the new admin of what you were told previously. For example, a Head Admin says you can do something, but that admin has left the server. A lower ranked admin shows up and asks you to stop doing that thing. You can explain that the Head Admin previously said you could do this, but if the lower ranked admin ''still'' wants you to stop, then you should stop. (This obviously works vise-versa as well.)
** Intentionally not telling a new admin about a contradiction is considered lying. It's like asking your mom for ice cream, but she says no, so you go ask dad because you think he'll be less strict.
* Sojourn is not a straight democracy; our rules and guidelines exist for a reason and we have staff dedicated to enforcing them and help set further guidelines if necessary. '''However, these rules are always going to be incomplete, and as such, just because something isn't written doesn't mean it's allowed.''' If a staff member tells you to do something, do it. They tell you to stop, then stop. If you disagree with a ruling, don't try to argue it then and there, especially if things are hectic. Once things have calmed down, or preferably after the round has ended, you can try to contact the staff member privately to discuss the ruling, or talk to another admin if you cannot talk to or cannot convince the offending admin.

* If you have a question over something unclear or questionable, never be afraid to adminhelp. The staff on hand should discuss it among themselves and give you a ruling, from there on if the ruling is in bad judgement, it's on the admin who cleared it, not ''you''. '''The staff should also NEVER ban you purely for a complaint against them.''' Even if you're a complete asshole about it, as long as the argument stays private, you cannot be banned just for arguing. Although being an asshole usually won't win an argument, so you probably shouldn't do that anyway.
** Don't confuse this for "complaining grants you immunity to bans", because that's not how it works. If you are told to not break windows and you complain how that isn't fair, you're still getting banned for breaking windows if we disagree with your complaint. What this means is we won't ban you or make an existing ban worse just because you tell us we're being excessively mean, confusing, or unfair to you or someone else.

= Dungeoneering =
A core aspect of our server is our PvE content, this can range from going into randomly generated dungeons, leaving the safety of the colony, or simply crawling through maintenance. However, we also have specific jobs for this and ones who should be doing this. As such, '''jobs discouraged or disallowed from dungeoneering are actively targeted by staff when spotted.''' Refer to the list below of jobs allowed to or dungeoneer.
===Core Dungeoneering===
These jobs are allowed to enter and leave the colony, and dungeons at will. There expected to do a wide range of things and will never be targeted for being in these areas.
* Foreman | Salvager | Prospector
* Lodge Hunt Master | Lodge Hunter
* Outsider

=== The Junkfield ===
The Junkfield has no restrictions on any role or job, do to its infinitely reproducible allowing no gameplay or fun to be lost by people using it.
* Anyone - Any reason as long as they are not ignoring or breaking their job.

===Staff Guide for Handling Dungeoneering===
When someone not in the listed jobs above is caught in a dungeon, admin staff are not only instructed to but '''encouraged''' to decide if the player is affecting the overall round to a negative effect and use in-game traps and mobs to kill the respective offender using the listed guide when needed. (Keep in mind we're here to have fun not punish people like robots following stonecold laws for breaking the rules. Use your best mindset for this.) However, this comes with a check list of things that need to be verified.

# Is the person apart of an event (official, mini-event, player run) that gives them a good roleplay reason to be in the area? I.E. the prospectors wanted extra hands and church litanies for healing, so they paid a vector to come with them.
# Is the person there for a reason that isn't looting? I.E. are they rescuing someone who is injured, etc. etc.
# If both answer to both is no, all staff must first subtle message the player in question with a warning of some kind such as "Something doesn't feel right, you're being watched..." or "An unearthly silence fills the space around you." or similar foreboding messages.
# '''Give them a reasonable amount of time to flee the area''' (usually 5 minutes) after the warning is given so they can avoid being killed.
# If they have not left, start by adding additional mobs/traps in their way as they continue. Under no circumstances should a player ever see the mobs or traps spawned, this means you cannot as staff randomly spawn mobs on top of, in front of, or in implausible locations to harm the offender. This includes spawning hard to spot traps in the path of a walking player, '''do not do this'''. As a rule, all additional spawns should be 7 or more tiles away from the player at all times. All methods to ramp the difficulty must be done in such a way that it makes perfect sense in-character, using thematically appropriate traps/enemies. I.E. You shouldn't be spawning primal renders inside the greyson field offices, etc. etc.
# Ramp up the pressure until they are dead. Do not begin with 10-20 spiders, start with 3-4 and keep progressing until they are overwhelmed or use lethal traps that they could avoid but will kill them if they're not careful. The goal is first to scare them to flee and only kill them if they persist. Staff who actively and badly enforce this rule without properly adhering to this list will get a strike. If they get 3 or more strikes, they are no longer allowed to enforce this rule and may be demoted.
# The body should remain intact and reviable '''the first time this happens.''' The second time in the same round, a guilty offender should be rendered unreviable via being devoured by roaches. '''Do not gib or severely fuck up a body beyond repair on the first offense.'''

Rules

2022-12-21T22:11:59Z

Rebel0: /* ERP preferences must be respected */

{{GetStartedHeader}}

These are the rules for the server and ''are subject to change without notice''. For further clarification, use common sense. If you did get banned, there's probably a good reason for it, but if you disagree, you can always make an appeal on the discord. Although these are rules, but they are not infallible, complete, or concrete, and probably never will be despite our best efforts. If ''ever'' something feels wrong, either don't do it, or admin-help it first. Above all, use your common sense, listen to the game staff, and try to keep the game fun for everyone; not just yourself.

If you disagree with the rules as they currently stand, talk about it on the discord or with admins and maybe we can improve them through some healthy criticism and debate.

'''These rules are designed to be written in such a way that you can ''usually'' understand them just by reading the headers''', because reading ''all of this'' would be insanity for most people. If you cannot understand a rule just by looking at it, or wish to know about possible exceptions or examples, click the rule to learn more.

If you find yourself spending too much time reading this page, or are confused about any rules, please contact an admin on Discord to make suggestions on how these rules could be better worded.

== You must be 18 or older to play on this server ==
'''There are no exceptions.''' If the staff suspects that you are underage for any reason, you will be banned from playing on the server until you are able to prove to the satisfaction of the staff that you are at least 18 years old.

*Use of real world slurs, ‘lolspeak’, and other indications of immaturity may be taken as signs that you are underage.

*Knowing another user is underaged but not reporting it is considered grounds for an immediate, permanent ban.

*The age of consent in your country is irrelevant. Your opinion about this rule is irrelevant.

*You may also not play a character who is under 18 years of age.

== Obey the community's global rules ==
These rules apply ''everywhere'', including Discord, the server, and even private discussions with non-admins. However, not all of the global rules are even possible to break in the server, so this wiki page only covers what's relevant to the game server. The overlap from the global rules are:

* No spam.
* No OOCly illegal discussions or content (such as child porn, drugs, piracy, real world threats, etc).
* Respect other users, don't use real-world slurs, and don't intentionally drag private conflicts or in-game conflicts into public OOC (such as on the Discord server, the in-game global OOC channel, or anywhere else).
* Don't intentionally abuse server functions to upset (grief) people, or derail discussions. You know what this means, don't play stupid.
* No complaining about bans unless done properly via an appeal on our [https://sojourn13.space/forum/viewforum.php?f=13 forums] or in an ahelp or otherwise private means as an inquiry to administration staff.

== Don't be an asshole ==
It's fine to say stuff and whatnot but being a outright dick isn't alright, and there's a fine line with that. Also, spamming racist words is still not okay.

=== Do not inconvenience AFK or disconnected characters ===
Under normal circumstances, do not harm or otherwise inconvenience characters whose player is idle, ghosted, or disconnected entirely. There are some exceptions to this rule, as follows:
*Circumstance that warrant the interactions of AFK/SSD players are few and far between if there is ever a case were you are REQUIRED for to take any ID/Bag/Gear from someone that is SSD, Ahelp before hand and with your reason why. Not ahelping before may result in HARSH OOC punishment if you are found to be manipulating them while away, or causing any sort of general tampering with the player. (IE. Don't be an asshole who steals shit from afk players unless its required)
Note: If your moving someone to cryo after the time, this is ok, as long as you do not remove their items unless it's faction important and you have the means to return them properly
*If they've disconnected/idle for more than 15 minutes, you can put them in cryosleep. If you do that, take away all of their belongings except for their jumpsuit, shoes, ID, and PDA, and return everything else to its rightful department.
*If they've committed a crime, jail them as you normally would and conduct their sentence even if they aren't connected. 20 minutes in the brig is still 20 minutes in the brig.
*Emergencies bypass this rule. If it's an emergency and you need something an idle player has to fix it, you may take it. If a fire starts in a room and the AFK player is the only one who can open the door then it's an emergency. Needing to get a snack from the kitchen and robbing the chef does not count as an emergency.

=== ERP preferences must be respected ===
Players should have their ERP prefs listed in their “OOC Meta info” or “OOC Notes” on their characters. You are required to respect these preferences so long as they pertain to ERP. If you are unsure about the meaning of some of their preferences, then use LOOC to discuss it with them. If you accidentally go against someone’s preferences, or someone else goes against yours, work to correct it as quickly as possible, even if that means just deciding in LOOC amongst yourselves that ‘this didn’t happen’ and going your separate ways.

*If you do not like someone's erp preferences you won't be punished for saying so, but do not harass someone just because they like something you don't. It's far easier to simply avoid someone and causing drama will get you into trouble.

*If you are uncomfortable with an ERP theme that you hadn't thought to add (or didn't know existed) to a list of dislikes in your OOC notes, speak up in LOOC as normal. Conversely, those of you foolish enough to put 'anything goes' into your preferences, or anything else vague like this, do so at your own risk. '''You forfeit your right to complain about preference breaking''' if you do not put ''some'' indication of your dislikes into OOC preferences.

**'''Do not OOCly consent to an non-consensual scene and attempt to report it ICly or OOCly.''' This is effectively ''forcing'' players to engage in your fetish scene. Topics like this may make players incredibly uncomfortable or distressed. Do not do this. If you have ''not'' consented to the scene - A-help '''IMMEDIATELY'''.
**Do not do scenes such as this in public. Ever. You will not only be player killed (PK) but also have further punishments put upon you. If you want to opt-in for a scene as such, take it to dorms or a area defined properly as a private area.
**Do not make false allegations of non-consensual scenes in game. Falsely accusing someone of rape or other non-consensual material will result in an immediate ban. This is incredibly bad faith and petty.
**'''Being found in violation of NON-CON rule(s) will be met with an automatic player kill (PK) and Perma Ban with no appeal given investigation. You've been warned as this is not tolerated here.'''

*Do not attempt to force yourself into ERP scenes where the other party (or parties) involved are not comfortable with it, or not even actually participating. This includes (but is not limited to) repeatedly trying to do ERP that a player has blatantly stated they are uncomfortable with, trying to guilt players into having a pity RP with you, etc. You get the idea. Don't do it.

*AFK/SSD/Disconnected players are not valid targets for any ERP.

=== The private areas are protected ===
The ‘dorms’ area on the map are reserved for ERP and are ‘protected’ from interruption. It is a violation of this rule to break into occupied dorms or harass players in dorms. Dorm areas are any personal apartments generally restricted to a specific person such as a head of staffs private bedroom or a dorm area claimed by a specific person, usually through a labeled door.
*The only exception is for security to arrest those who have committed crimes. Security is not allowed to indiscriminately inspect dorms for crimes, but a known criminal hiding in a dorm is not protected by this rule.
*Conversely, it is not permissible to attempt to use dorms to hide from security, or to make their job of finding you harder. The dorms are for people who want to ERP in privacy. Don’t involve them in your shenanigans.

=== Do not disrupt non-public ERP scenes ===
TL;DR is you should avoid screwing with scenes that are not in public areas. The problem is, not everyone knows what is considered public or private. This is especially important for [[Security]] players to know.
*Dorms are considered private obviously. Don't mess with those under any circumstances unless someone inside actively invites you. (Calling for help is considered an invite.)
*If a person is ERPing in a public location they should be asked to vacate to a private dorm room. If they refuse they may be reported to colony security to arrest them for indecent exposure or other crimes listed.

=== Speak English ===
We are an English server. All OOC communications are expected to be done in English. It's alright if your English is rough and imperfect, just as long as we can reasonably understand it.

*This also extends into IC communications, but is more flexible as some characters have heavy accents.
*Having a character sometime speak smatterings of other languages is acceptable, but speaking exclusively in these languages for entire sentences is not.

=== Roleplay as long as it's feasible ===
*This is an HRP (Heavy RolePlay) server. You are expected to roleplay your actions with other players as long as it's feasible. If someone engages you in purely ‘robust’ (aka game-mechanics driven) combat while you were attempting to roleplay with them, with no reasonable provocation, please use the admin-help feature to inform an admin.
**Reasonable provocation would be things that deem you too dangerous to be given even a chance to talk. For example, openly wielding a gun while threatening people, charging someone with a knife, trying to create a hazard, or being the target of a manhunt.

*If a fight does begin, you're not expected to type out every gunshot and dodge and attack. That would be absurd. Generally, you roleplay up until the point that it makes sense to start attacking, and then use game mechanics from there. You are allowed to respond to ‘robust’ violence with your own, if you desire, though you should attempt to return to roleplaying as soon as feasible. The environment is not designed for a focus on action, but rather for character-building and roleplaying. When a fight is over, resume roleplaying.

*Movement is considered a game mechanic for the purpose of this rule. Wordlessly running at a security officer who is attempting to arrest you, or wordlessly fleeing from them, is considered engaging in game-mechanic combat. The security officer has valid cause to stop trying to roleplay and stunlock you into the ground.

*Death may not be uncommon at the frontiers of space but it is still impactful. When a character dies, or your own character dies and is revived, death should be considered an immensely painful and graphic experience. One should stay in character during said experiences, statements of ‘oh well’ or mutilating a corpse for ‘fun’ would not be reasonable responses.

=== Do not join with an inappropriate ckey ===
Ckeys, better known as BYOND user names, must be appropriate. If any are deemed inappropriate, the ckey will be banned and you will be unable to play on our server until you make an account with an appropriate name.
*Ckeys that mock certain players or groups are an example of inappropriate.
*Ckeys that violate BYOND's terms of service may also be reported.

=== Do not misuse Global OOC ===
Many servers simply mute global OOC. We do not, because the OOC command is useful to have on in an RP heavy server.

* Global OOC is used, for instance, to contact someone you were typing a reply to had walked out of the room before you were done, and you're trying to ask them to come back. It's also useful if you're a new player, or an old player exploring new mechanics, who asks something like, "How do I make Tricord again?" or something short and similar. Short, sweet, and relevant OOC messages are generally okay. Welcoming old players returning, or new players joining, is also generally okay.

* Global OOC is ''not'' for idle banter, ranting, things pertaining to incidents in the current round (see previous rule), in-depth explanations (an explanation that takes more than a few lines), shitposting memes, or discussing topics not relating directly to the game. If you want to chatter OOCly, go to our Discord channel, which is linked from the home page or use LOOC so as to not disturb the rest of the server.

* Also, if someone does misuse OOC, do not complain in global OOC about their misusing of global OOC. Not only are you just making the problem worse, that is considered being a backseat admin, which is prohibited by other rules.

== Keep IC and OOC separate ==
*IC (In-character) and OOC (Out-of-Character) actions and knowledge should be separated as much as possible. Don't use OOC channels to discuss what's going on IC until after the round is finished, don't use OOC knowledge to do things your character wouldn't know, such as operate medical machines when a cargo technician. You are not playing yourself in the game, you are controlling a character with their own wants and knowledge and the IC/OOC boundary is to help reflect that.
**Note that these same rules apply to LOOC as well.
*Don't complain in OOC when your actions IC get you in trouble. This is self explanatory.
*Disconnecting or using other OOC means to avoid IC consequences is against the rules. If you do urgently need to leave the server even though you're being punished, your options are either to surrender and get it over with, or use admin help to inform the admins, "I know Security is after me, but I have to go because (some emergency)." Failure to take ten seconds to tell an admin before disconnecting may result in harsher punishment.

=== Metacomms, metagaming, multi-keying, (etc) are not allowed ===
*Metacomms: Using third-party programs, such as Discord, IRC, Skype, or even the BYOND pager, to discuss and share information of the ongoing round. This excludes other players, can contribute to toxicity among the playerbase, and is often a tactic used by griefers and thus is a no-go.

*Metagaming: Using information obtained from elsewhere to influence IC decisions and actions. Your opinions or knowledge of other players or characters obtained via OOC methods should not direct your IC actions. If you have an OOC grudge against someone, you may not try to antagonize them IC, for example.
** Metagaming sometimes happens by accident due to game mechanics behaving undesirably due to intentional features or unintentional bugs and oversights. If it happens, ask an admin to help straighten things out if you can't do so among yourselves.

*Multi-keying: Logging in with multiple BYOND accounts on our game server. There is never any legitimate reason for you to do this and thus is not allowed.

== Create and play server-appropriate characters ==
Although this is a furry roleplaying server based around 2D spess mans, that doesn't mean anything goes because that is possible. Suspension of disbelief is still important to a good experience, and breaking that suspension of disbelief is bad for roleplaying. Characters who break that suspension of disbelief are not allowed. Saying "it's what my character would do" isn't an automatic protection against this rule if what your character is doing breaks that immersion.

*Play a reasonably sane and mature character, give them a non-immersion breaking first and last name, do not play obvious reference characters, or characters from published works.

*Keep in mind that people do not like pain or dying and usually try to avoid it without good reason. Give your character a reasonable set of strengths, fears, and weaknesses. When writing things for IC, write things out that sound like speech, not emoticons or lolspeak.

*The setting contains no magic. Your character cannot have any superpowers, magical abilities, or anything that does not exist in the setting or cannot be reasonably replicated with game mechanics. If they are not someone who has a good reason to work on the colony, they should not be here.
**The exception to this is purely private roleplay. For example: If your character and another character are in a dorm by themselves, and the other is OOCly fine with it, your character can display potentially supernatural abilities. This is limited to that roleplay, though. You should not discuss anything about that in public. Use magic at your own risk however, because technically the moment your RP is discovered by someone else, it stops being private, putting you in potential violation of this rule.

*Obscenely oversized or undersized characters are forbidden. Minimum height is at least four feet. Maximum height is about eight feet. Anything more or less really pushes the already shaky believably of abhumans and established alien lore.

*If you are playing a lore based species such as sablekyne, mar'qua, opifex, or whatever else we add in the future, you are expected to play the race as they are canonically meant to be played.

*OOC Notes and Flavor Text are '''required'''. Your OOC notes must detail your ERP preferences, and your flavor text should not include non-physical attributes (do not include feelings your character has, or how they act). Character records are something that should be filled out, if you have an issue or don't know how to do it properly, contact a member of staff for help.

*To be a colonist your character '''must''' have at least a ''basic'' understanding of the English language. Outsiders, however, are exempt from this restriction and may be of people from various backgrounds that may not have a grasp of even basic English.

*If your character is suspended, permanently killed off, or otherwise removed from the colony as a consequence for something horrible they did in-character, you are expected to not play that character anymore. If found playing the character again, or a 'clone' to circumvent this result, OOC punishment will be issued.

* '''Do not play vibrantly colored or "sparkle dog" type characters.''' This basically means you should mainly have natural fur coloration and a relatively normal appearance. Yes, our character editor has a ton of color options, including neon colors and many design sprites to do strange things. Creativity is fun, making your appearance incredibly unrealistic or as obnoxious as possible will result in admin intervention. Some leeway is given to races with canonically vibrant colors such as cht'mants and cindarites or custom xenos but try to keep them muted instead of neon. Following the custom species guide does not make you immune from this rule. If an admin asks you to change your color, do so, we have this rule to maintain HRP.

=== Do not kill or attack things (including yourself) for no good reason ===
*This includes yourself. Even in self-defense your goal is to fight off your attacker and survive, killing in a fight should only be done as a last-ditch effort when it's clear it's a you or them situation.

*Suicide or self-mutilation is almost NEVER allowed without prior consent from an admin. Contact an admin if you want to have a character commit suicide. Typically the manner in which suicide is carried out is played as an in-game attention grab and without actual compelling reasons. This can upset those that find this subject OOCly uncomfortable. The punishment for suicide is nearly always a permanent ban, so think about that before you kill yourself.

*Excessive responses are also covered by this. Caving in someone's skull for cutting in line, stabbing yourself in the eye with a screwdriver because you are bored, or jumping off a railing because you're sad, are all examples of being excessive.

*Outsiders due to their nature and ability to be killed on sight are allowed to kill and or attack people as they see fit, within reason. If Outsiders determine it's a good idea to move against the gate and attack it, and end up murdering half the colony, there will still be problems. This is not a license to self-antag every round, only to cause issues while outside the walls.

*While Antags -- that being self-antags and staff-chosen ones -- are allowed to kill and place bodies out of the way, it's still frowned upon to go out of the way to hide or stash a body in a location without any reason for prolonged times. Attempting to PK people by doing so will result in administrative actions, and even if that isn't the intent, it violates the spirit of the server and may be punished regardless.

=== Do not powergame ===
*Better known as 'playing to win'. As a security person this can be seen as going out of your way and needlessly endangering others to ‘win against’ criminals. As the Colony AI exploiting loopholes in your laws to get yourself out of them or getting the person who subverted you into trouble is another way. There is an implicit allowance for lawed characters to ERP. You may create loopholes for this reason only.

*While this shares several things in common with other rules, it still is it's own entity. Play to have fun, allow yourself to lose now and again and roll with the blows as it can make things potentially even more interesting.

*Having '''way''' too many skills for one character is another example of this. Just because you're the premier and have access to everywhere doesn't mean you should (or can) know how to do all the different jobs. (See [[Character Creation#Give them a set of skills|Character Creation]] regarding skills for more information.)

*[[Identifying Antagonists]] when you shouldn't be able to is also a violation of this rule.

=== Do not godmode ===
* Often confused with powergaming, godmoding is to create abilities out of nowhere, or do impossible things. If the action cannot be reasonably emulated in the confines of the game's mechanics, and it gives you some kind of advantage or is exceptionally weird, it's probably not allowed. For example, if you don't have access to a mechanic for turning invisible, you can't turn invisible. Saying you're invisible doesn't mean squat.

* Creating a character who is immune to injuries or pain also falls under this. The game won't let you ignore getting shot, why would any player allow it either?
** If your character is literally coded to ignore pain, you can ignore pain. Cyborgs and robots are a notable example. They do not feel pain. They are not immune to injury, however.

* Accidental injuries are still in-character injuries unless an admin heals you. Admin heals are generally out of character to void the injury.

* '''Admins who are caught abusing admin powers to godmod will be immediately dealt with.'''

===Do not abuse whispers===
Any actions that would obviously be visible should not be hidden using whispers, this includes ERP, whispers longer than a sentence, or actions that would obviously be visible to anyone glancing you way. If you need to speak something longer than a sentence but want to keep it quiet use the whisper command. Anyone caught using whispers to hide obviously visible actions of paragraphs of texts will get slapped for it.

=== Rules of ‘Self-Antag’ ===
To start with here are some of the bare bone basic rules when self-antagging without properly a-helping for full antag.
* Do not be hostile to other crew for no legitimate reason.
* Don’t break things, steal things.
* Do NOT be Self-Antag without proper IC reasoning. Reasoning along the lines of "I'm bored" or "Giving Security something to do" is NOT a valid reason to be an asshole. Make sure your reason(s) are believable and why your actions make logical IC sense to any Admin
* Think about how a normal person would behave under similar circumstances. A well established character who has been around awhile may be given a bit of wiggle room to keep rounds interesting.

Things that are off limits without Ahelping and getting cleared with an admin before head are
* Breaking into earther of the armories that are maintained by the colony.
* The AI room and killing/modifieing the AI without a good reason.
* Heads of Staff rooms to steal unreplaceable gear/artifacts
* The spare ID in the Premier's office.
** The council may ''borrow'' the spare to handle activities such as issuing a new or missing ID, but are ''NOT'' to abuse it without A-helping first.

One key thing to remember is in any scenario you should be running/non-lethally fighting security when they come to arrest you unless you want to comply for a shorter sentencing. Always aim to escape and try not to ever use lethal methods else if someone dies you may be perma-brigged or executed. Security can have fun chasing and fighting a criminal, just be wary of pitfalls, nobody likes fighting a no-rp character, build things up first before jumping straight to mechanics.

Ask yourself these few questions.
* 'Would people have fun if I did this or no?'
* 'Does my character believe they have a legitimate good reason to be doing this?'
Going further into it, actions have consequences, if you're caught. If you're unsure if doing this or that is a-okay, then it would be best to check with a staff member beforehand.

'''Once you've become established and been around enough here are some guides and tips to self antagging:'''
The key goal to self antagging is to create roleplay that is enjoyable or otherwise fun for players to interact with to differ from the norm. Below are a list of examples but you should always consider "are other people having fun or am I just being a dick?"
* Buying and selling contraband.
* Starting a drug production operation in a secluded spot in the colony.
* Disguising yourself as a specific department and gaining access to it while pretending to be a member of that department until someone notices.
* Extorting people for cash with a good old fashioned mugging.

One thing to keep in mind when doing this is the fine line between being an enjoyable self antag and a griefer. Below is a list of things someone who self antags should be wary of.
* Don't complain when you lose or get brigged for a long time. Whatever punishment you receive as a self antag are a example of the rule that you agreed to in terms of handling consequences.
* Never use explosives that cause serious damage or ruin someone's round, without admin approval. A flashbang or force bomb so tiny it doesn't even break tiles? That's okay. A plasma bomb? You will get banned.
* Don't kill other players as a general rule. Not only will this get you killed or perma-brigged yourself but admins will immediately be alerted to your shenanigans if they haven't already and will be scrutinizing you far closer. Causing someone to die but still capable of revival is a little more acceptable then crushing someone's brain and removing them from the round entirely. Any forms of perma death will attract admin attention incredibly fast.
* Do not self antag more than once a day. Seriously, doing it every single time you play will swiftly get admin intervention. Once in awhile is good RP but every shift is a pain.
As a general rule, if nobody complains about your actions its assumed they are enjoying your shenanigans, but complaints will gain the staff attention and have use look through logs to see if you acted in a way that is good roleplay. If someone does complain immediately in LOOC because you sedated them or so, ignore them and continue on. Staff will handle such matters accordingly as immediate LOOC salt is not a good response.

*You cannot have a character with an “antagonist” background. Your ex-mercenary ex-ninja ex-cultist is not allowed, but certain criminal backstories might be okay. If in doubt, ask an admin.

*We play on ‘Extended’ round type most of the time, and this means that there are no automatically chosen antagonist roles. Most other SS13 servers have antags, but we do not. Any antagonists are staff-selected players, picked to play a specific role.

*And finally although we all enjoy creating interesting RP situations and getting immersed in the round, it is frowned on by staff to "start shit" near round end (15-30mins.)No one wants to wait around for some dumb-ass to have their 30+ mins of glory while we all wait for you to get arrested/investigated/faxed/ect. These situations happen sometimes and we understand that, but do TRY to avoid it. Staff is encouraged to enforce account strikes &/or temporary bans or more if you are shown to be a consistent issue.

Remember that if you ''are'' selected to be an antagonist-type role, it ''does'' give you some wiggle room than usual as far as the server rules go, but it '''does not''' give you permission to ''break'' any rules. Stick to your objectives, don't be over-the-top and ruining everyone else's fun if you can avoid it. Ask for admin help if you're not sure.

=== You are expected to perform the job you signed up for ===
When your character joins the round, you are accepting the responsibilities that the job you have chosen brings with it. Remember: if you are playing in a slot, you are likely preventing other players from performing that role. It is important that you fulfill the tasks that you have signed up for!
*Marhals should protect the colony from danger, the guild should ensure that power is up and that people can breathe, medical should provide treatment to injuries and other services, cargo should bring in needed cargo on request, Science should do... science stuff, and service should provide food. Command's job is to make sure at least these basics are being fulfilled, and to react accordingly in an emergency.

*A player must take into account the qualifications (both physical and mental) of their character’s role before placing them into it. If staff find your character to be unsatisfactory in fulfilling the requirements of the role, we may instruct you to revise your character.
**This includes majorly disabled characters — quadruple amputees, deaf, or blind characters, and so on — which are only permitted on the colony in the assistant (and associated alt-titles) job slot.

*Repeatedly failing to perform to an acceptable standard can result in a ban untill appealed.

*Job strikes are a counter of 0/3 which is noted on your character, after 3 job strikes, which can be earned by bad faxes or legitimate demotions from a head of staff, your character is permanently fired from that department until an appeal is made. Job strikes last 3 months, with the timer resetting with each strike.

*If you are going AFK for an extended period of time (more than 15 minutes), and are occupying a limited-number job slot (any slot other than assistant), you must remove your character from the round using a cryopod (or other similar means) to free the slot. Repeated failure to do this may result in being banned from that job.

*Do not do other people’s jobs. If you joined as medical, do not attempt to hunt down criminals. If you joined as engineering, do not attempt to perform medical treatment on your coworkers. If you are a head position, allow your staff to do work before you do the work yourself; you are a supervisor and manager first and foremost as a head position.

*Do not hijack other people's jobs. For example, if you're a roboticist but someone needs surgery, and there's already a surgeon who isn't currently busy, then don't perform the surgery instead of letting them do it. Similar examples exist with every department, so use your judgement. Basically, if you're ''actively getting in the way'' of someone else trying to do their job, you're probably breaking this rule.

*Playing jobs that can be called upon at any time to assist other crew members in emergencies waives your right to have interruption-free (E)RP sessions in private, including the dorms. If you join as a Lifeline Tech, expect to be interrupted out of private scenes. If you’re an engineer, you are expected to set up power systems and repair any large-scale damage that hampers the rest of the crew, regardless of your intent to have sex with the assistants. (Example: The premier getting their rocks off with someone while they are being called to assist with colony matters. They signed up to be the arbiter of colony matters. ERP is not what you are here for in that role. "saying you are busy or occupied" will incur a job strike.)

*If you do prospecting as an non-prospector for more than 30-60 minutes without being in an expedition with them and you are not doing your job, you may get a talking to. If you want to play like a prospector - just play the job instead of ignoring the one you signed up for.

*Maintenance diving is not a valid reason to be busy from your assigned job. If you are requested to perform the actions of your role while maintenance diving it is expected that you make your way out of maintenance in a timely manner.

=== You are expected to obey the chain of command (within reason) ===
*Each head of staff is the de facto leader of their department, so listen to them. Likewise, you should obey decisions from faction owners (if a fax arrives) or council decisions unless directly overridden by an admin. If you consistently do not follow reasonable orders, you will be job banned.

*If you're playing a role that has [[AI#Interpreting_Your_Laws|AI laws]], you must obey these laws first and foremost to the best of your ability.

*As any role without AI laws, you can disobey orders you think are traitorous, harmful, immoral, or violating [[Laws]]. Use your judgement and consider whether or not disobeying the order could get you in trouble or get someone else horribly killed.

*If you are given an order or AI law that may break another server rule, please alert the admins for a second opinion before continuing.

Mind you, this is '''not''' a rule that lets people be fun police as heads of staff. If you feel that someone is ordering you do things that basically require you ''not'' to do your job, or to do your job in ways that aren't important/fun, then contact an admin for a second opinion or fax a faction owner in character.

=== You are expected to forget events that are deemed non-canon ===
*This is to keep things a little more sane in-round, and to allow for players with preferences in non-consensual activities to have their fun with people who share those prefs as victims. It is therefore against this rule to remember and abuse the knowledge of who killed/raped after the round has passed unless both people involved agree. You should not have the memory to antagonize or persecute your attacker without the prior OOC agreement of the other parties in the roleplay. They can include this consent in their OOC Metainfo/Notes or discuss it with you in LOOC before or after the roleplay.

*Keep in mind that non-consensual RP, while OOC, is fine it is not on an IC level. Characters who make their non-con actions public or get caught in the act can and will be permanently killed if caught. For example, if a person is tried and executed for rape that character is permanently dead and cannot reappear on the colony. If you wish to do non-con keep it private. '''You've been warned.'''

*The round ending does not make you immune to a character perma-kill. Just because you evaded capture or was not killed by the time it restarted does not mean everyone forgets what your character did. If you get caught and the evidence is ironclad enough, you will be PK'd.

*This rule also applies to events that cause catastrophic damage to the colony, such as a code red/delta scenario. As a general rule event coordinators '''should''' say before or after an event if it is non-canon or not.

*If you are killed in a round and then revived in the same round, you're memory is entirely intact and may act accordingly.

= The intent of the rules is more important than the letter =
The purpose of the rules is to preserve a fun and enjoyable environment for all players. If everyone is enjoying themselves even while the ‘letter’ of a rule is not being followed, it’s likely that no staff intervention will be required. On the other hand, just because something isn't in the rules doesn't mean it's okay or allowed if it's upsetting a large number of players.

*It is within admin staff's discretion to decide that certain actions violate one or more rules, even if the specific action is not listed as part of the rule. This is simply the job of the staff to interpret the rules. You can appeal decisions to other admins if you believe one has a bias against you, but doing so after a ruling is passed will get you in trouble.

*Plenty of rules are left vague enough to cover as much as possible without being too oppressing. Attempting to rules-lawyer saying that "this rule doesn't specifically say I can't do X", even if what you are doing is disrupting the server, will generally be ignored. We assume most of you have enough common sense to recognize what a [[#Create_and_play_server-appropriate_characters|sane and stable individual]] would and wouldn't do within this fictional setting.

=== Listen to admin staff ===
* One admin's word is usually as good as any other. Though, just because one admin says something is okay in that moment does not mean it will always be okay under another admin or even the same admin.
** If this causes a contradiction, you can (and should) inform the new admin of what you were told previously. For example, a Head Admin says you can do something, but that admin has left the server. A lower ranked admin shows up and asks you to stop doing that thing. You can explain that the Head Admin previously said you could do this, but if the lower ranked admin ''still'' wants you to stop, then you should stop. (This obviously works vise-versa as well.)
** Intentionally not telling a new admin about a contradiction is considered lying. It's like asking your mom for ice cream, but she says no, so you go ask dad because you think he'll be less strict.
* Sojourn is not a straight democracy; our rules and guidelines exist for a reason and we have staff dedicated to enforcing them and help set further guidelines if necessary. '''However, these rules are always going to be incomplete, and as such, just because something isn't written doesn't mean it's allowed.''' If a staff member tells you to do something, do it. They tell you to stop, then stop. If you disagree with a ruling, don't try to argue it then and there, especially if things are hectic. Once things have calmed down, or preferably after the round has ended, you can try to contact the staff member privately to discuss the ruling, or talk to another admin if you cannot talk to or cannot convince the offending admin.

* If you have a question over something unclear or questionable, never be afraid to adminhelp. The staff on hand should discuss it among themselves and give you a ruling, from there on if the ruling is in bad judgement, it's on the admin who cleared it, not ''you''. '''The staff should also NEVER ban you purely for a complaint against them.''' Even if you're a complete asshole about it, as long as the argument stays private, you cannot be banned just for arguing. Although being an asshole usually won't win an argument, so you probably shouldn't do that anyway.
** Don't confuse this for "complaining grants you immunity to bans", because that's not how it works. If you are told to not break windows and you complain how that isn't fair, you're still getting banned for breaking windows if we disagree with your complaint. What this means is we won't ban you or make an existing ban worse just because you tell us we're being excessively mean, confusing, or unfair to you or someone else.

= Dungeoneering =
A core aspect of our server is our PvE content, this can range from going into randomly generated dungeons, leaving the safety of the colony, or simply crawling through maintenance. However, we also have specific jobs for this and ones who should be doing this. As such, '''jobs discouraged or disallowed from dungeoneering are actively targeted by staff when spotted.''' Refer to the list below of jobs allowed to or dungeoneer.
===Core Dungeoneering===
These jobs are allowed to enter and leave the colony, and dungeons at will. There expected to do a wide range of things and will never be targeted for being in these areas.
* Foreman | Salvager | Prospector
* Lodge Hunt Master | Lodge Hunter
* Outsider

=== The Junkfield ===
The Junkfield has no restrictions on any role or job, do to its infinitely reproducible allowing no gameplay or fun to be lost by people using it.
* Anyone - Any reason as long as they are not ignoring or breaking their job.

===Staff Guide for Handling Dungeoneering===
When someone not in the listed jobs above is caught in a dungeon, admin staff are not only instructed to but '''encouraged''' to decide if the player is affecting the overall round to a negative effect and use in-game traps and mobs to kill the respective offender using the listed guide when needed. (Keep in mind we're here to have fun not punish people like robots following stonecold laws for breaking the rules. Use your best mindset for this.) However, this comes with a check list of things that need to be verified.

# Is the person apart of an event (official, mini-event, player run) that gives them a good roleplay reason to be in the area? I.E. the prospectors wanted extra hands and church litanies for healing, so they paid a vector to come with them.
# Is the person there for a reason that isn't looting? I.E. are they rescuing someone who is injured, etc. etc.
# If both answer to both is no, all staff must first subtle message the player in question with a warning of some kind such as "Something doesn't feel right, you're being watched..." or "An unearthly silence fills the space around you." or similar foreboding messages.
# '''Give them a reasonable amount of time to flee the area''' (usually 5 minutes) after the warning is given so they can avoid being killed.
# If they have not left, start by adding additional mobs/traps in their way as they continue. Under no circumstances should a player ever see the mobs or traps spawned, this means you cannot as staff randomly spawn mobs on top of, in front of, or in implausible locations to harm the offender. This includes spawning hard to spot traps in the path of a walking player, '''do not do this'''. As a rule, all additional spawns should be 7 or more tiles away from the player at all times. All methods to ramp the difficulty must be done in such a way that it makes perfect sense in-character, using thematically appropriate traps/enemies. I.E. You shouldn't be spawning primal renders inside the greyson field offices, etc. etc.
# Ramp up the pressure until they are dead. Do not begin with 10-20 spiders, start with 3-4 and keep progressing until they are overwhelmed or use lethal traps that they could avoid but will kill them if they're not careful. The goal is first to scare them to flee and only kill them if they persist. Staff who actively and badly enforce this rule without properly adhering to this list will get a strike. If they get 3 or more strikes, they are no longer allowed to enforce this rule and may be demoted.
# The body should remain intact and reviable '''the first time this happens.''' The second time in the same round, a guilty offender should be rendered unreviable via being devoured by roaches. '''Do not gib or severely fuck up a body beyond repair on the first offense.'''
