Regulatory Information
Corporate Regulations	Guide to Standard Procedure	Konyang Laws

Corporate Regulations

Corporate Regulations are penned regulations that all Nanotrasen employees have agreed to abide by in the signing of their employment contract. These regulations apply across the board on any Nanotrasen owned property, be it station, ship, or outpost.

Onboard each facility there will be a dedicated Security department in charge of making sure that all Nanotrasen employees follow these regulations.

• Regulations protecting prisoners from mistreatment applies to even non-crew.

• Executions are illegal and not allowed by regulations. Station security nor command should be doing any executions. The maximum possible penalty for major infractions is cyborgification.

• The brig timer of a prisoner begins after processing. All prisoner processing is expected to be completed in a timely manner. Should a detainee's processing take an unreasonably long time, the personnel responsible for that processing may be liable for illegal detention.

Interpretation of the Regulations

Every person on the station should have a good knowledge of Corporate Regulations. Following them could mean the difference between having a peaceful day or paying 1000 credits for multiple infractions. Extensive knowledge of Corporate Regulations is required for such positions as the Warden, Head of Personnel, Captain, and the Head of Security.

For all incidents, the suspect's intent is very important. Some incidents are mutually exclusive.

A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took 3 items off someone, this is a single count of pickpocketing.

Aiding and abetting a criminal makes you an accomplice; you can be charged with the same crime as the person you aided and abetted.

The charges “Battery”, “Attempted murder” and “Murder” do not apply to crimes committed against IPCs, whether they are free intelligences or owned by a person or company. Consult employment/security records to determine whether an IPC is owned or not. Positronic intelligences are not protected by capital punishment laws. Those charged with red level infractions may be at risk of being dismantled or destroyed.

The charges “Battery”, “Attempted murder” and “Murder” do not apply to crimes committed against Dionae, instead the respective charges are as follows: "Animal cruelty", "Assault" and "Fytocide". Dionae Nymphs acting as pests will not be protected by these regulations.

Additional

Captains and Authority

Captains are not above Corporate Regulations and can be arrested by Security for breaking them. However, this should only happen if active Heads of Staff agree in a unanimous decision to approve the arrest, or the arrest is ordered by Central Command. Captains should not be removed from their position in this way for anything but violations that would normally require holding until transfer. Lesser violations can and should be reported to Central Command, but are not generally severe enough to warrant this drastic action. If a Captain is arrested in this manner, an Acting Captain should be appointed immediately, and Central Command should be informed.

The station's assigned Captain has full and final authority over the operation of the station. They are authorized to issue direct orders to entire departments or specific crew members. They may take any actions or issue orders that violate regulations during non-standard situations. Generally, these orders must be carried out. Even if you feel an order from the Captain to be against regulation, your moral code, or generally detestable, you still have to follow it. You are entitled to begin a vote within Command (if you're part of Command) to have the Captain arrested if the order breaks a serious regulation, or fax Central Command (if you have access to a fax machine) to have them weigh in, but disobeying the order (if given to you) or obstructing it (if not given to you directly) is Failure to Execute an Order. This is upgraded to Sedition if you start encouraging others to refuse the Captain's orders.

If a crew member breaks regulations while following a direct order from the Captain, when there are other legal ways to carry it out, that crew member is generally considered at fault for the violation.

Pardons are only legitimate if they come from Central Command. Not even the Captain can deliver pardons, but they can grant parole with or without a tracking implant.

Injunctions

The Captain, Head of Security, and Internal Affairs Agents may issue injunctions to the crew if deemed necessary.

An injunction is a restriction on a crew member, meant to prohibit disruptive behavior that may not otherwise explicitly break regulations. Violating the terms of these injunctions is breaking regulations however, covered by i108 Violation of Injunction below. Examples of valid uses of injunctions include things like preventing two belligerent crew members from interacting with one another, or stopping someone from abusing alcohol at the bar. They are not meant to circumvent the chain of command, however, and efforts to resolve problems within that structure should be made first.

The Head of Security and Internal Affairs Agents may issue injunctions to any non-Command member of the crew. The Captain's orders may override these injunctions.

Only the Captain, Central Command itself, or every other member of Command acting as the Captain in a unanimous decision, may issue injunctions to a member of Command Staff.

Misc

Do NOT demand a tribunal for anything. You'll just be laughed at.

A Warrant must be provided for almost any search or arrest conducted under code green. Exceptions to this rule exist if an officer is a direct witness to a crime, or may reasonably conclude that failure to act will pose an immediate danger to the crew and/or station. Search warrants may also be circumvented if the Head of Staff over the employee being searched has given their direct consent.

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

Demotions are used to temporarily demote an employee to a rank below their previous occupation, allowing them to continue active duty under a position of less authority. They are typically reserved for situations in which the employee is still trusted to continue work, but may require additional training or oversight.

Drugs such as alcohol, tobacco, Ambrosia Deus, Ambrosia Vulgaris, etcetera are not covered by the Contraband regulation as these are legal under Tau Ceti law. A full list of legalized recreational drugs can be found here.

Low Level Infractions (Yellow Violations; i100's)

Regarding warnings

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

Officers are not obligated to first issue out an official warning, but are encouraged to do so if the situation allows it.

No.	Incident	Description	Notes	Traditional Sentence	Repeat Offense	Fine
i101	Trespassing	To be in an area which a person does not have access to.	Remember that people can either break in, sneak in, or be let in. Always check that the suspect wasn't let in to do a job by someone with access, or were given access on their ID. Trespassing and theft often committed together; both sentences should be applied. Severity is increased if they refuse to leave the area peacefully, more so if they attempt to use important equipment there, so feel free to add other charges if they do.	3 minutes.	Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion.	200-300 credits
i102	Petty Theft	To take items from areas one does not have access to, or to take items belonging to others or the station as a whole. Includes theft of credits up to 500cr. For higher amounts see i220 - Fraud	Keeping items which are in short supply where they belong is what is important here. A doctor who takes all the surgical tools and hides them still commits theft, even though he had access. Items can include anything in limited supply. Remember to take the items away from them and return them to where they stole them.	3 minutes, returning of stolen item to the owner or department.	Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion.	150-225 credits
i103	Minor Assault	To use, or threaten, physical force against someone, without intent to kill or seriously injure. To cause easily repairable damage to a free IPC chassis, up to and including the removal of limbs.	If it causes minor damage and easily treatable damage, it's minor assault. Starting fights with other employees or punching fellow employees counts too, as well as seriously threatening them with it. Force-feeding someone is this unless it's poisonous or knocks them unconscious.	4 minutes.	Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion.	400-800 credits
i104	Battery	To have unwanted physical contact with someone, even where the contact is not violent.	Bumping into someone in a corridor doesn't really count. Touching someone, when they have explicitly told you not to, does.	2 minutes.	Up to 8 minutes and/or demotion.	200-400 credits
i105	Indecent Exposure or Hooliganism	To be intentionally and publicly unclothed, yelling at people for no reason in public or on comms, throwing around stuff where it could hit someone, yelling about how terrible NanoTrasen is, etc.	Running around the station naked or in underwear, or other such degrading activities. Drunks can be keep to sober up, but only if they are badly harassing other crew members. Regular drunks don't get arrested and if they are only a nuisance you keep them for the regular time. The mutual degradation of chasing a naked man down while he screams rape is only worth it on slow rounds. Skrell are required to be clothed just like anyone else. Tajaran can have rolled down jumpsuits unless ordered by their Head of Staff to keep it up.	5 minutes.	Up to 8 minutes and/or demotion.	250-375 credits
i107	Misuse of Public Radio Channels	To continually broadcast unimportant, untrue, or insignificant messages on the public radio frequency.	This is really only for people who are constantly spamming the radio, such as 'DJs' or Chaplains reading their services over the comms. Screaming fake messages like "halp security is beating me" when they aren't also counts. Speaking excessively non basic on comms also falls under this, unless it is your departmental comms (at the head's discretion and on non emergencies) and on green and yellow alert codes.	3 minutes.	Ban from using any radio equipment, which requires a filed injunction.	150-225 credits
i108	Violation of Injunction	To violate the terms of an injunction made by Security or other legal professions.	Injunctions can be filed for lots of different things, such as a ban on weapons carrying, or the above radio ban. They can be applied by the Head of Security, Captain, or equivalent. If they break the law in some other way, apply that sentence too.	5 minutes.	Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion.	500-750 credits
i109	Slandering a Head of Staff	To directly insult a Head of Staff with no valid complaints.	This is most likely to happen when someone is being fired. The charge is only applicable when the statements are slanderous and untrue.	5 minutes.	Up to 10 minutes and/or demotion.	250-275 credits
i110	Slander or Verbal Abuse	To spread false rumors in order to damage someone's reputation, or to use racially offensive language.	Lying about anything to make someone else look bad, or making use of obscene or offensive slurs against someone else. For example, a drunk assistant starts shouting racial slurs at xeno crew. Since this has to be proven, it's up to the appropriate officer to determine. You should also see if the insults were real, rather than friendly banter between two friends.	3 minutes.	5 minutes.	50 credits per applicable minute
i111	Failure to Execute an Order	To ignore or disregard a superior's valid orders.	If the order is stupid, or causes you to break a law (e.g. "Release the singularity!" or "Steal that RCD for me!") you can ignore it, and probably make a complaint. However, if it's perfectly doable, lawful, and in your job description, you better do it or resign. If not following an order caused severe damage or loss of life, see "Failure to Execute an Order with Serious Consequences".	5 minutes.	Up to 15 minutes and/or Demotion.	500-750 credits
i112	Sexual Harassment	To make unwanted sexual advances or obscene remarks towards another employee.	This is for VERY MINOR things the other person finds offensive that are sexually related. For anything more serious see "Sexual Assault".	5 minutes.	Up to 15 minutes and/or Demotion.	N/A
i113	Animal Cruelty	To inflict unnecessary suffering or harm upon animals with malicious intent.	Monkeys appropriately used for experiments or well-being (e.g Genetics, Virology, etc.) don't count, neither do the animals ordered from cargo. Shoving them in washing machines, or throwing them down disposals while still alive falls under this. Using them as food is a grey area, as long as they are not overtly caused pain in the process.	5 minutes	Up to 10 minutes and/or Demotion.	N/A
i114	Vandalism	To deliberately damage or deface the station without malicious intent. To cause easily repairable damage to an owned IPC, up to and including disabling the chassis.	This can range from disassembling furniture unnecessarily, to drawing on the floor with crayons or other substances outside the chapel. Littering may also fall under this.	3 minutes	Up to 10 minutes in total and/or Demotion.	450-675 credits
i115	Threat of Murder or Serious Injury	To threaten to kill or seriously injure an employee.	The threat has to somewhat tangible. If it's just people arguing over the radio, it's probably not worth it. Someone shouting at someone else while chasing them with a fire extinguisher is more valid.	3 minutes and mandatory Tracking implant.	Up to 10 minutes with psychiatric evaluation.	500-750 credits. Tracking implant.
i116	Disrespect to the Dead	To abuse bodies of dead or previously dead employees.	Examples include, the chef using bodies in the morgue as meat, Security beating on a prisoners corpse, or using someone's body for 'experimental surgery'. Preventing a body from being cloned or cyborged also falls under this. The Chaplain or medbay tended to corpses in preperation for autopsy or funeral does not fall under this unless they're doing something bizarre and unnecessary.	5 minutes	10 minutes per corpse.	400-600 credits
i117	Excessive use of force in detainment	To use more than the required force to subdue a suspect.	Repeatedly batoning a prisoner after they've been handcuffed, Using force against an unarmed and compliant suspect, and usage of lethal weapons in a non-lethal situation.	5 minutes and/or demotion to cadet.	10 minutes and demotion.	350-700 credits.
i118	Violation of privacy laws	To intentionally leak private aspects of employee records or financial account information to unauthorized personnel.	Janitors found reading records flushed down disposals would be charged with this as well. Command can discuss medical records with other command (or IAA and Detectives on request) if they have a good reason, and similar with employee and security records. Using a station announcement asking someone come pick up their hemorrhoid cream is also a no. The punishment goes to the source of the leak. Authorization for respective records goes to their respective heads of staff. (CMO, HoP, HoS, and the final say of Captain.	3 minutes.	10 minutes. Demotion and/or Suspension.	500-750 credits.
i119	Illegal search	To preform a search of an employee or workplace without a search warrant, clearance, or probable cause.	An extension of the Privacy Laws, crew members are entitled to the privacy against searches on green alert. Security is required to obtain a search warrant from either the Head of Security, Captain, or lacking either, a Warden. Searches of workplaces falls under this. Security can circumvent a search warrant requirement if they: have clearance from the respective head of staff, have directly witnessed a crime taking place, or feel there is a real and imminent danger to the safety of crew and/or station. This also does not apply to searches conducted after another, legitimate arrest.	3 minutes. A written apology. Return of non-contraband goods and reduced brig time for victim.	10 minutes. Demotion and/or Suspension.	500-750 credits.

High Severity Infractions (Red Violations; i300's)

Regarding cyborgification

• The NSS Aurora is in Tau Ceti space, which does not consider cyborgification capital punishment, making it an optional punishment. If Izweski or Jargon Federation citizens have a Do Not Borgify order in their records, their punishment becomes holding until transfer.

No.	Crime	Description	Notes	Sentence
i301	Murder	To kill someone, or attempt to kill someone, with premeditated malicious intent.	Also cover Attempted Murder. The premeditated and malicious bit is important here.	Cyorgification or Holding Until Transfer on majority Command decision.

Modifiers & Special Situations

Situation	Description	Benefit
Surrender	Coming to the brig, confessing what you've done and taking the punishment. Getting arrested without putting a fuss is not surrender. For this, you have to actually come to the brig yourself.	Up to -25%, and should be taken into account when determining the severity of crimes.
Re-education	Getting de-converted from revolutionary.	Up to and including immediate release
Cooperation with prosecution or security	Being helpful to the members of security, revealing things during questioning or providing names of head revolutionaries.	Up to -25%. In the case of revealing a head revolutionary, up to -50%.
Immediate threat to the prisoner	The singularity eats something near the brig, an explosion goes off, etc.	Officer must relocate the prisoner(s) to a safe location. Otherwise, immediate release. Life sentences must be reapplied after danger has passed.
Medical reasons	Prisoners are entitled to medical attention if sick or injured.	Medical personnel can be called, or the prisoner can be escorted to the Medbay. The timer continues to run during this time.
Self Defence	Assault and even homicide can be justified if it was necessary for prevention of loss of life. (Note that there are borders of acceptable self-defence, and killing a man who just punched you is subject to "Use of Excessive Force")	Up to and including immediate release.

Parole

Parole is temporarily releasing a prisoner before their sentence has been fully completed on the promise of good behavior. Parole can be given for any number of reasons, including brig overcrowding, a reward for good behavior or confession, or if the prisoner's skills are in need by the station such as a doctor or engineer.

The Warden or Head of Security can choose to give prisoners parole. A tracking implant is recommended if the prisoner is a flight risk (IE an engineer going EVA, but it is up to the Warden/HoS to determine how much of a risk they are.) Tracking implants for minor crimes are not worth it.

On the completion of their time they are simply marked as released as normal.

If they commit any crimes their parole is ended and they must serve out the remainder of their time in the brig with the new crime's time added on.

Parole can be given immediately after initial processing; theoretically a prisoner can spend their entire sentence out of the brig.

Terminology and Clarifications

Cyborgification The removal of a person's brain for transplanting into a Cyborg Chassis. Often also known as Shackling.

Suspension: Changing ID title to "suspended", zero access.

Demotion: Can be done up to and including Assistant position, by Head of Personnel or Captain's decision.

Employee: Employee of NanoTrasen, as defined by the station's commanding officer. All non-employee subjects are still protected by these laws.

Empowering: Illegal acquiring (not via Head of Personnel or Captain) of access.

Head of Staff: Crew members occupying one of the following positions: Captain, Chief Engineer, Head of Personnel, Head of Security, Chief Medical Officer, Research Director.

HuT Holding until Transfer

Lethal Situation: A situation in which there is an apparent and real threat the the well-being of all those involved.

Repeat Offenders: For repeat offenders, use the "repeat offense" punishment.

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. E.g: Uniforms, weapons, bombs, PDA cartridges, etc.

For the purposes of Cyborg/AI laws, crewmembers that have been convicted, or are being held in detention, are considered to be below even the AI/Cyborgs in terms of rank.

In cases where the final sentence is more than 90 minutes, it is changed to HuT

The standard penalty can be applied without a tribunal by Security Officers.
