NanoTrasen Liaisons or Representatives act as the link between an Interest Group and their assigned facility. Their primary concerns are to ensure that the group they're representing is treated more favorably or just ensuring they're treated equally, within Corporate Regulations, via interviews and reports to Command Staff about misconduct.

Secondary responsibilities of a Representative include increasing awareness of whatever factions or cause they represent. For more information on the goal of different kinds of Representative, see: Interest Groups

Representatives 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, it is not part of Station Command however.

Variation

There are two variations of Representative, those being Corporate Liaison and Consular officer. They can both be on station at one time, allowing for a representative of a Faction to be there alongside a liaison from a MegaCorporation. It is encouraged that they will work together on matters if there is a NanoTrasen Liaison alongside a consular officer, so the consular can have an easier time getting important messages through to central command or station command.

Interest Groups

All Non-NanoTrasen Interest Groups get access to an External Comms Link in their Fax machine which enables them to contact their superiors, and receive an orders list on round start. While they do not get all of the benefits of working for NanoTrasen, they definitely do get other benefits.

NanoTrasen Liaison

• NanoTrasen Liaisons are dispatched by central command to act as an on-station link between Central Command and Station Command. They can talk to command and crew on matters such as NanoTrasens interests aboard the station, advise Station Command, and issue various paperwork, including Contract Extensions, and situation reports. They can also make sure that central command is following Correct Procedure, and not doing anything bad in the eyes of the company.

Corporate Representative

Embrace The Bureaucracy

So, your shoes are polished, your tie is on straight, your stamp is inked up and there’s a full cup of coffee on your desk - what now?

Typically, the broad duties of a Representative can be sorted into three major categories:

1. Awareness: Doing activities to spread awareness of your Interest Group are a very good idea to keep everyone happy, and most importantly, informed. A good representative might give seminars on the virtues and upsides of their Interest Group, or a Consular Officer might do a QnA or trivia for their faction. Get creative with it, and remember that certain factions will be trying harder than others, such as the PRA or Hegemony.
2. Oversight: Doing activities that keep members of your Interest Group happy are a good idea. If a member of said Interest Group is unhappy, take them in and work out ways to make it better, such as talking to Station Command to improve the situation. In order for that to work, a Representative needs to be keeping track of members of their Interest group, in ways such as PDAing to ask them, or calling them in to your office for a chat.
3. Protest: Activities taken in response to mistreatment. An example would be contacting the Captain, Head of Personnel, or Security when you suspect someone from your Interest Group is in danger or has been wronged. Another would be vocally protesting in response to someone from your Interest Group being arrested, even going as far as to negotiate for their release, or lessening of their punishment. Do not push this or it may lead to trouble!

Before you sign on for that first shift, recognize a hard truth about Representatives: you are not, strictly speaking, a necessary component of the station’s crew. By yourself, you cannot permit, prevent, or enforce just about anything. You are barely even part of the Stations' Crew.

Your ability to effectively do your job therefore relies on your ability to communicate with the station’s various Departments, and Station 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.

In order to help build those working relationships, there are a few things Representatives should try to do.

1. Do Spread Awareness: The only way you're going to get Station Crew on your side is if you get involved with the Crewmembers aboard the Aurora, in whatever way you may choose to do so, or your Interest Group entails.
2. Do Not Cause Trouble: You are here with the express permission of Station Command and NanoTrasen, a permission that can easily be revoked, you don't want to test them, and any violation of Corporate Regulations should be strictly covert, if at all.
3. Do Play Favorites: It is the express purpose of your job to advocate for your Interest Group, and thus, to play favorites. 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, Station Command. It could also violate Server Rules in extreme cases, if in doubt, Ahelp.

Directive 12

"Command staff are expected to engage representatives through diplomacy and to consent to reasonable requests. The representative is not part of the station 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.

Traitoring

This scenario is unlikely as the NanoTrasen Liaison, as the Mindshield Implant all Liaisons are required to have prevents you from being brainwashed, However, if you're a Representative for a different group, and find yourself selected for 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.
