| On Space Station 14, stations operate under abbreviated space law. All crew, passengers, and visitors who are legally aboard the station are expected to follow these laws, and are granted protections under Space Law.
| | === Dignitary Standard Guidelines === |
| | Dignitaries are, above all, roles intended to be focused on socializing and interacting with the station, more than than mechanical or authoritative intervention. As a Dignitary, always try to be available for the station to ask for your assistance or advice, but avoid overstepping and interfering when the station's other roles can handle a situation. |
| | # Do not meddle in station affairs unless absolutely necessary. The Captain can ask a dignitary for assistance in a matter, and it is up to them whether they wish to interfere. Examples of things not to do: |
| | #* Do the job of any department ever, unless explicitly requested, if any staff of that department are available. |
| | #* Order something from Logistics without consulting the highest-ranking Logistics member. |
| | #* Brig a criminal. |
| | #* Unnecessarily engage threats in combat, especially if doing so would include getting in the way of security personnel. |
| | # You are not obligated to follow the orders of station command, except for those of the Captain. If the order would conflict with an existing Central Command order or your procedures, you are to reject performing the orders. In most cases, Central Command hopes you play nice where possible. |
| | # Dignitaries are to never be made the Captain of a station. |
|
| |
|
| Foreign invaders, such as nuclear operatives, ninjas, space fauna, glimmer manifestations, Solarian deserters, and pirates, are not protected under space law. Traitors are not foreign invaders so they are usually protected by space law.
| | === Blueshield Officer Guidelines === |
| | The Blueshield Officer is first and foremost, a bodyguard, and should prioritize ensuring the personal physical safety of all Dignitaries and members of Command. BSOs should never handle security work or get in the way of security personnel performing their duties. The BSO's focus may be narrowed by direct orders from Central Command or the Captain to protect a specific individual. |
|
| |
|
| Designation of 'sentient being' does not automatically grant protections under Space Law. See the [[Security Standard Operating Procedures|Rules of Engagement]] for what constitutes proper reasoning to instantly terminate a sentient being.
| | # The Blueshield Officer should only intervene in station affairs when there is an active, direct order from a member of Command, Dignitary, or Central Command. You cannot use "protect the station" or any other vague orders as a reason to intervene. Each intervention must have been directly ordered. |
| === Crimes and Brig Time: ===
| | # The Blueshield Officer is to prioritize the immediate physical safety of Dignitaries and members of Command. They should never abandon their protective duty to seek out distant threats. BSOs may refuse orders to take action against anything that is not an immediate threat to the physical safety of Dignitaries or Command. |
| All crime falls into one of three categories:
| | # If there is no known threat aboard the station and in the absence of direct orders, the Blueshield Officer may roam the station as they please. They are encouraged to check in with Dignitaries and members of Command, and may choose to offer their services in the form of facilitating communication and running small errands or tasks that will not impede their duty or overstep into doing someone else's job. (ie: deliver a message, convey a request, retrieve an item, or do very minor work alongside a Department Head/Captain in an unstaffed Department) |
| | # If there is an active threat aboard the station, the Blueshield Officer must focus on their protective duties, and should ensure the personal physical safety of Dignitaries and Command to the best of their ability. Their physical safety is the BSO's single priority above all else. |
| | # If a Dignitary or member of Command has been taken hostage, or has been killed and not immediately retrieved by the station's crew, the Blueshield Officer may work alongside Security or Medical personnel to recover the individual. However the BSO's only priority is on recovering the physical person or remains of the individual they are attempting to protect, and should not focus on engaging enemy combatants beyond what is necessary to rescue their target. |
| | # Blueshield Officers protecting members of Command or Dignitaries near active combat engagements are encouraged to keep their protective targets away from danger, and are fully authorized to physically relocate them against their wishes to ensure their physical safety. Proximity to ongoing combat situations should never be used as an excuse to dive into battle, but should instead indicate a need to withdraw to a safer location. |
| | # Blueshield Officers should not concern themselves with the safety of the Head of Security, as they are capable combatants in their own right, unless they have been killed or captured and the Blueshield Officer is attempting to retrieve them. |
| | # Blueshield Officers may safeguard Dignitaries and Command against immediate theft of their personal and company-provided belongings, and may use reasonable force and very brief detainment to recover those items. However the BSO may not pursue a suspected thief or the lost property beyond the immediate area where the theft occurred, is not authorized to brig a criminal, and should instead report the incident to station Security. |

| * Harm to an Individual: Damage done specifically to individuals or their personal affects.
| | === Magistrate Guidelines === |
| * Harm to the Station: Structural damage to the station or it’s company provided assets, espionage, theft of company assets.
| | The Magistrate ensures SOPs are upheld by every department and acts as the Chief Justice when one is not available. They are to inform departmental heads and/or dignitaries of SOP violations, and ensure that violations are resolved. Depending on the circumstances, SOP violations are to be reported to the departmental head, the Captain (in circumstances where command are implicitly involved), or the Nanotrasen Representative (in circumstances where the Captain is implicitly involved). |
| * Harm to the Company: Policy violations, threats to the chain of command, general disorderly conduct.
| |
| If a crime does not strictly fall within crime definitions below, but harm has still been done, security may charge with the generic crime of "Harm against [Individual/Station/Company]" with severity that they feel appropriate to the crime, subject to revision by an available Magistrate or Chief Justice.
| |
|
| |
|
| ''Security players will never be in OOC trouble for accidentally giving someone less brig time than necessary, as long as sentencing was done in good faith.''
| | If the Chain of Command fails significantly, or if there is a lack of station command, the Magistrate may consult other dignitaries on how to proceed. In the situation that other dignitaries are not available, the Magistrate may directly decide with Central Command guidance. |
|
| |
|
| ''Crimes involving sexual content are not listed. This is because no one should ever be involved in a scene that includes that or worse without their explicit consent and they should never have to hear about it if they didn't consent.'' | | ==== Magistrate's Authority ==== |

| |
| |Under 25 minutes, or the charges <u>do not</u> include any of the following: resisting arrest, recidivism, grand crimes or capital crimes.
| |
| |Criminal serves their time as normal in the standard brig, with the maximum sentence being 25 minutes. Released upon the expiration of their timer.
| |
| |In their cell, the criminal retains possession of their PDA, headset, and all of their original belongings that are not contraband, evidence of a crime, tools, weapons, or other items that may be used to breach custody, unless they misuse this right.
| |
| |-
| |
| |25 minutes or greater, and the charges <u>do</u> include any of the following: resisting arrest, recidivism, grand crimes or capital crimes.
| |
| |A trial must be arranged for the criminal. If the trial cannot take place within 25 minutes of being initially charged, the criminal is released until the trial is possible.
| |
| |Same as above. However, if the individual gains a breach of custody charge at any point, or commits additional crime while awaiting trial, they are to be escalated to extended confinement without parole, until their trial is possible.
| |
| |-
| |
| |40 minutes or greater, and the charges <u>do</u> include any of the following: resisting arrest, recidivism, grand crimes or capital crimes.
| |
| |A trial must be arranged for the criminal, however, until it is available the criminal is to be held in extended confinement.
| |
| |Headset and PDA should be changed to prisoner variants. Original belongings may be confiscated at the brigging officer's discretion.
| |
| |-
| |
| |60 minutes or greater, and the charges <u>do</u> include any of the following: resisting arrest, recidivism, grand crimes or capital crimes.
| |
| |The Head of Security or Captain may summarily place the prisoner in stasis, without trial, if they believe them to be an ongoing threat to the station. A trial will be held after the shift, at Central Command.
| |
| |The prisoner may simply get into a cryo pod of their own volition if cooperative, or Security may humanely (if possible) sedate or execute the prisoner, and secure them for transport to Central Command.
| |
| |-
| |
| |Any sentence, if deemed necessary with Magistrate or Captain's Authority
| |
| |The Magistrate or Captain may summarily place the prisoner in permanent confinement or stasis, without trial, if they believe the situation warrants it. A trial will be held after the shift, at Central Command.<br>
| |
|
| |
|
| This should only be done with uncontainable criminals, overwhelming evidence of grand or capital crimes, or when absolutely necessary for the good of the station. Abusing this authority will have '''<u>severe</u>''' repercussions.
| | === Nanotrasen Representative Guidelines === |
| |If sentenced to Permanent Confinement: Headset and PDA should be changed to prisoner variants. Original belongings may be confiscated at the brigging officer's discretion.<br>
| | The Nanotrasen Representative is responsible for keeping CentComm updated on the happenings onboard a station. They are to regularly send reports to Central Command, reporting significant issues with the Captain or station command as needed. Any requests sent by Central Command to the Nanotrasen Representative are to be done by them. |
| | |
| If sentenced to Stasis: The prisoner may simply get into a cryo pod of their own volition if cooperative, or Security may humanely (if possible) sedate or execute the prisoner, and secure them for transport to Central Command.

| |
| | |
| === Pressing Charges: === | |
| | |
| * Any crew member may press charges against any other crew member.
| |
| * An individual may be charged of a crime if and only if it can be argued beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused had committed an act in the nature and fashion as described by a particular criminal charge.
| |
| * An individual may not be charged of a crime if the target of the crime explicitly declines to charge them, thus making their charges toward that specific victim void and pardoned in their entirety. This does not apply to crimes that effect the station at large, such as Terrorism, theft in general, and sabotage.
| |
| * Multiple counts of one crime can be charged, except in cases of possession or theft of several separate and distinct items, where only one count of the most severe charge applies.
| |
| * For illegal actions against the station abroad, each incident separated by a reasonable period of inaction, lawful conduct, or another crime is interpreted as one count.
| |
| * For crimes directly bereaving a person (violent acts, theft of personal property etc.), the same applies in addition to each victim being one count.
| |
| * Charges that are a direct escalation of one another in nature cannot be simultaneously held against the perpetrator if they pertain to the same incident and the same victim/item (if applicable). Only the most severe of these charges apply.
