'''Corporate Liaisons''' act as the link between a megacorporation and their assigned facility. Their primary concerns are to ensure that the group of employees they're representing is treated more favourably or just ensuring they're treated equally within [[Corporate Regulations]], via interviews and reports to [[Job_Guides#Station_Command|Command Staff]] about misconduct. Secondary responsibilities include increasing awareness of their corporation, and potentially increasing said corporation's influence on the ship. | |||
Liaisons can be played by characters of any species that can be a part of the represented faction, by players with a Head of Staff whitelist, but they are not part of [[Job_Guides#Station_Command|Ship Command]]. '''Note that you cannot apply for a command whitelist with a corporate liaison character.''' | |||

== Title Variations == | |||
As a corporate liaison, you're offered the opportunity to choose between a few different titles for flavour. | |||
*Workplace Liaison | |||
*Corporate Representative | |||
*Corporate Executive | |||
These titles should give your Liaison a bit more flavor by allowing them to have some specialty in the company. However, '''no alternate title gives you any more authority than another. Playing a Corporate Executive does not increase your authority - you have the same amount of direct authority as a liaison: none.''' As a corporate executive, think of yourself more of an executive of middle management; your direct power over the Horizon is functionally zero, as you've been sent by whatever as a liaison and advocate. The SCC chose the heads of staff to command the ship, and they'd like to keep it that way. | |||
== | ==Starting Out== | ||
You spawn in the Representative's Office. After a few minutes, your fax machine will print out a list of randomised objectives that you can use as a jumping-off point for roleplay. You have a secure safe in their office, which you can enter a five-digit code to lock and unlock. Don't forget it! You also have a closet of clothing, paperwork supplies, and sundry to help fill out forms and make notes on the performance of the Horizon's crew. | |||
You also spawn with an energy pistol. This pistol is not very powerful, and it does not give you license to jump into a firefight and start shooting. Remember, you're a bureaucrat. | |||
You also get access to an external communications link in your fax machine, which enables you to contact your superiors. Any faxes you receive will be sent to the CCIA team for an in-character response. | |||
== Roleplaying a Corporate Samurai == | |||
Before you sign on for that first shift, recognize a hard truth about Corporate Liaisons; you are not, strictly speaking, a necessary component of the ship’s crew. By yourself, you cannot permit, prevent, or enforce just about anything. You are barely even a part of the ship's crew. However, this does not mean your roleplay cannot be an invaluable, enjoyable part of the round! | |||
Typically, the broad duties of a Liaison can be sorted into three major categories: | |||
# '''Awareness:''' Doing activities to spread awareness of your interest group is a very good idea to keep everyone happy, and most importantly, informed. A good representative might give seminars on the benefits and pay packages of their corporation. Get creative! Why might someone want employment with [[Idris Incorporated]] or [[Zavodskoi Interstellar]]? | |||
# '''Oversight:''' Keep your employees happy, and if not happy, willing to fake it. If one of the employees of the company is unhappy, see if you can fix it by offering incentives, chatting with command, or ordering pizza for everyone! A Representative needs to be keeping track of members of their interest group, in ways such as PDAing to check in, or calling them in to your office for a [[Vampire|chat]]. Keep in mind that roleplayed effort, above all, is appreciated; hilariously ineffective responses to an employee's mistreatment or lack of satisfaction with their employer of choice help build a character as much as actually improving their situation. | |||
# '''Protest:''' Stick up for employees. An example would be contacting the [[Captain]], [[Executive Officer]], or [[Job_Guides#Security|Security]] when you suspect someone from your interest group is in danger or has been wronged. Another would be vocally protesting in response to an employee being arrested, even going as far as to negotiate for their release, or lessening of their punishment. '''Be reasonable about this.''' Obviously your credibility is going to go down the toilet if you try and negotiate for the release of an employee who committed [[Traitor|first-degree murder]]. | |||
Your ability to effectively do your job therefore relies on your ability to communicate with the ship’s various [[Job_Guides|Departments]], and [[Job_Guides#Station_Command|ship Command]]. Having good working relationships with the crew also makes it more likely that they will come to you with their problems or report things to you, rather than leaving you to hunt for them or to sit at your desk contemplating your coffee all shift. | |||
But how can you build working relationships? | |||
You can | #'''Do: Spread Awareness.''' The only way you're going to get ship crew on your side is if you get involved with the crewmembers aboard the Horizon, in whatever way you may choose to do so, or your interest group entails. Hang out at the bar, organise a tabletop game at the library, perform employee evaluations. | ||
#'''Don't: Cause Trouble. (Unless You Can Get Away With It)''' You are here with the express permission of [[Job_Guides#Station_Command|Ship Command]] and the [[Stellar Corporate Conglomerate]], a permission that can easily be revoked. Any violation of [[Corporate Regulations]] should be strictly covert, if at all. Keep in mind that this doesn't mean you have to play a nice person, and more likely than not someone who has climbed to the rank you've climbed to might have a fair few skeletons in their closet. | |||
#'''Do: Play Favourites.''' It is the express purpose of your job to advocate for your interest Group, and thus, to play favourites. If you think that helping a crewmember who is close to someone in it will aid in that, you should definitely do it if it fits your character. Though, you don't want others to know, as it could land you in trouble with a [[Security Officer]], and thus, [[Job_Guides#Station_Command|Ship Command]]. It could also violate [https://aurorastation.org/rules.html server rules] in extreme cases. If in doubt, '''adminhelp'''. | |||
* | === [[Guide to Station Procedure#Representatives and Consular Officers|Directive 12]] === | ||
"Command staff are expected to engage representatives through diplomacy and to consent to reasonable requests. The representative is not part of the ship chain of command. The representative is granted special status in relation to corporate regulations;" | |||
* The representative does not serve brig time for low level infractions, the fine alternative can be used in those cases. The representative can serve brig time for medium and high level infractions, with command staff being able to contact Central Command requesting the revocation of the representative's privilege. | |||
* The representative's office offers immunity to the representative. Security may not enter to conduct arrests under normal circumstances. Entering or refusing to exit the office is considered trespassing. The office's immunity may be revoked by the captain or a captain level decision. | |||

===Roleplaying the Corporations=== | |||
Each megacorporation expects different standards from its employees, and has different methods and a different company "culture". While you're not obligated to play a character who follows these suggestions, they might help in building your roleplay or creating a character. | |||
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | |||
=== [[NanoTrasen]] === | |||
* | * Essentially the "generic" corporation. You are the largest company in the Conglomerate, and its flagship member; it's likely you'll have a lot of people to talk to. Cut corners, encourage transfers, and promote Getmore Energy. | ||
* Instead of a bureaucrat, your character might also have a science or medical degree, or be a service manager. | |||
* Common origins for NanoTrasen employees are typically the [[Republic of Biesel]] and the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]], but NT is everywhere. | |||
=== [[Idris Incorporated]] === | |||
* Idris is professional, shiny, and saccharine. Being too "personal" in the business or being casual goes against company standards; an Idris liaison has a smile on their face and a handshake ready for everyone, regardless of how they actually feel. | |||
* Your character might have a background in banking, economics, private security or the military, or service. | |||
* Common origins for Idris employees are [[Luna]], [[Venus]] (typically Cythereans), [[Silversun]] (typically expatriates), [[Eridani]], or the [[New Kingdom of Adhomai]]. | |||
* | |||
* | |||
=== [[Zavodskoi Interstellar]] === | |||
* Professional and upright through and through, though considerably less cheerful than an Idris employee. Nevertheless, a Zavodskoi representative is as polite as they are cutthroat, particularly if they are [[Dominia|Dominian]]. | |||
* Your character might have a background in science (usually weapon sciences or research and development), private security or military, or engineering. | |||
* Rivalries with Hephaestus are encouraged. Poach employees! | |||
* The most common origin for a Zavodskoi employee is [[Dominia]]. Other planets with a headquarters include [[Luna]], [[Biesel]], and [[Earth]]. | |||
=== [[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]] === | |||
* Your character has likely risen to where they are from sheer merit alone, considering the standards imposed on them by the keiretsu. One thing's for sure; even if your character isn't nice, they're smart, and they know how to conduct themselves in a corporate environment better than just about anyone. | |||
''' | * Remember that Zeng-Hu as a whole is technically three companies; Jeonshi Biotech, Bishop Cybernetics, and Yomi Genetics. Pick one from your character to come from and develop their education background from there. | ||
* Your character definitely has a background in some sort of STEM or medical field, and definitely has a doctorate. | |||
* High-ranking Zeng-Hu employees are likely heavily augmented, and almost always have a Zeng-Hu veterancy faceplate implanted. Play this for all the discomfort it's worth. | |||
* Common origins for Zeng-Hu employees include [[Earth]], [[Europa]], the [[Nralakk Federation]], [[Aemaq]], [[Assunzione]], and housepeople of Volvalaad in [[Dominia]]. | |||
=== [[Hephaestus Industries]] === | |||
* You're a HARDWORKING, BLUE-COLLAR (even if you make more than the entire operations department combined), DOWN-TO-EARTH WORKER who PULLED THEMSELVES UP BY THEIR BOOTSTRAPS and GOT TO WHERE THEY ARE TODAY. Hephaestus is a company that breeds a lot of loyalty, and your character might reflect that. | |||
* Uniquely, you might not have much of a degree; while it's likely you have a diploma, Hephaestus representatives and foremen can indeed work their way up to the company ladder by personal merit and leadership ability alone. | |||
* Bust unions and sneer at [[Himeo|Himeans]]. | |||
* Common origins for Hephaestus employees include [[Mars]] (pre-Violet Dawn), [[New Hai Phong]], [[Burzsia]], [[Moghes]], and the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]]. | |||
=== [[Private Military Contracting Group]] === | |||
''' | * One of the most variable company groups, the PMCG is a variety of private military companies operating under one umbrella. These companies are fairly different from subsidiary to subsidiary. | ||
* If you're from an [[Eridani]] military contracting group (N4NL, Sekhmet Intergalactic, Eagle Corp, or Ringspire), you're likely an Eridanian suit. If you are from Nexus Corporate Security, you're essentially a [[NanoTrasen]] representative under a different name. Dagamuir Freewater Private Forces representatives are [[Unathi]]; Kazarrhaldiye Operations Group representatives are [[Tajara]]. Ve'katak Phalanx representatives can, ironically, be any species but [[Vaurca]]. Xanu Defense Services are [[Coalition of Colonies|Coalitioners]], and Wildlands Squadron are [[Sol Alliance|Solarians]], usually Middle Ring residents. | |||
* You probably have a military or security background, no matter your character's job. If your character is a medical professional, they are likely a combat EMT or a military surgeon. | |||
* The PMCG is everywhere; EPMCs will always have experience on [[Eridani]], no matter their origin. | |||
=== [[Orion Express]] === | |||
''' | * You are a representative of the youngest company in the Conglomerate; you yourself are likely fairly young and fresh to the world of corporate espionage, if you aren't a transplant from another company. Orion's casual company culture likely means you're not looking to dress yourself up (physically or socially) too much, and you probably come off as strangely genuine to most employees. | ||
* You likely have a background in logistics or the service industry. | |||
* Orion Express is everywhere, and hires just about anyone. However, it has bases on [[Valkyrie]], [[Callisto]], [[Konyang]], the [[People's Republic of Adhomai]], and [[Elyra|Bursa]]. Skrell of all stripes are also commonly hired by Orion. | |||
=== [[Synthetic_Factions#The_Golden_Deep|Golden Deep]] === | |||
* Possibly the only faction that can be both a consular officer and a corporate representative, you're here to ensure its citizens, employed by various corporations, are gaining profit for the collective and to ensure the continued relations between the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate and the Golden Deep. | |||
* A Golden Deep Consular Officer are more often than not highly esteemed merchants, or a membership holding, carefully vetted synthetic made to engage as a diplomatic bridge between business partners. Naturally, Golden Deep Consular Officers must have acquired their Golden Deep Citizenship. | |||
* Similar to the Zeng-Hu keiretsu, make sure to pick one of the factions in the Golden Deep that you represent! The artsy Joint Venture Ultra-Maz, the shady Zaibatsu, and the esoteric Camarilla Estriconian are the three largest groups. | |||
* You are recommended to promote the Golden Deep affiliates in the Republic of Biesel, as well as seeking out synthetics for purchase under the Golden Deep umbrella. | |||
* A membership within Golden Deep is not to be given lightly and Consular Officers are responsible for ensuring that any IPCs inducted into the group can increase its prosperity. | |||
</div></div> | |||
== Traitor == | |||
Should you find yourself selected as a traitor, congratulations! You are an antagonist trusted explicitly by your interest group, who will likely be thrilled to help you. | |||
Wield your bureaucracy against the company you've signed up to act within! The morphic clerical kit may be of use to a traitorous Representative, as the stamps it provides allow you to forge command staff approval of just about anything. Through this, you can stamp approval papers to your fellows, have them lie to [[Job_Guides#Command|Command Staff]] about who they got them from, and then procure anything they'd like, thanks to you. If anyone questions what you're doing, remind them that you have the best interests of your people at heart. | |||

Руководители: Ship Command and your Interest Group |
---|
Corporate Liaisons act as the link between a megacorporation and their assigned facility. Their primary concerns are to ensure that the group of employees they're representing is treated more favourably or just ensuring they're treated equally within Corporate Regulations, via interviews and reports to Command Staff about misconduct. Secondary responsibilities include increasing awareness of their corporation, and potentially increasing said corporation's influence on the ship.
Liaisons can be played by characters of any species that can be a part of the represented faction, by players with a Head of Staff whitelist, but they are not part of Ship Command. Note that you cannot apply for a command whitelist with a corporate liaison character.

- The PMCG is everywhere; EPMCs will always have experience on Eridani, no matter their origin.
Orion Express
- You are a representative of the youngest company in the Conglomerate; you yourself are likely fairly young and fresh to the world of corporate espionage, if you aren't a transplant from another company.

- You likely have a background in logistics or the service industry.
- Orion Express is everywhere, and hires just about anyone. However, it has bases on Valkyrie, Callisto, Konyang, the People's Republic of Adhomai, and Bursa. Skrell of all stripes are also commonly hired by Orion.
Golden Deep
- Possibly the only faction that can be both a consular officer and a corporate representative, you're here to ensure its citizens, employed by various corporations, are gaining profit for the collective and to ensure the continued relations between the Stellar Corporate Conglomerate and the Golden Deep.
- A Golden Deep Consular Officer are more often than not highly esteemed merchants, or a membership holding, carefully vetted synthetic made to engage as a diplomatic bridge between business partners. Naturally, Golden Deep Consular Officers must have acquired their Golden Deep Citizenship.
- Similar to the Zeng-Hu keiretsu, make sure to pick one of the factions in the Golden Deep that you represent! The artsy Joint Venture Ultra-Maz, the shady Zaibatsu, and the esoteric Camarilla Estriconian are the three largest groups.
- You are recommended to promote the Golden Deep affiliates in the Republic of Biesel, as well as seeking out synthetics for purchase under the Golden Deep umbrella.
- A membership within Golden Deep is not to be given lightly and Consular Officers are responsible for ensuring that any IPCs inducted into the group can increase its prosperity.
Traitor
Should you find yourself selected as a traitor, congratulations! You are an antagonist trusted explicitly by your interest group, who will likely be thrilled to help you.
Wield your bureaucracy against the company you've signed up to act within! The morphic clerical kit may be of use to a traitorous Representative, as the stamps it provides allow you to forge command staff approval of just about anything. Through this, you can stamp approval papers to your fellows, have them lie to Command Staff about who they got them from, and then procure anything they'd like, thanks to you. If anyone questions what you're doing, remind them that you have the best interests of your people at heart.
