Line 1: Line 1:
On Space Station 14, stations operate under abbreviated space law. All crew, passengers, and visitors aboard the station are expected to follow these laws.
== Community Direction Goals: ==
Every decision in our community is guided by 3 primary objectives:


Foreign invaders, such as nuclear operatives, ninjas, and pirates, are not protected under space law. Traitors are not foreign invaders so they are usually protected by space law.
# Prioritize the safety, consent, comfort, and agency of all of our players above all else, and in that order.
# Encourage meaningful and enjoyable collaborative roleplay.
# Provide interesting and ever-growing content to explore and engage with, as long as it supports the previous two objectives.
Secondary objectives that we strive to fulfill when possible:


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.
# Keep the out-of-character atmosphere harmonious and cooperative.
=== Crimes and Brig Time: ===
# Give players as much in-character agency as possible, to pursue the roleplay and activity that they are interested in.
All crime falls into one of three categories:
# Make station roles mechanically interesting, but easy and convenient enough for most players to spend much of the round roleplaying.


* Harm to an Individual: Damage done specifically to individuals or their personal affects.
== Community Direction Process: ==
* Harm to the Station: Structural damage to the station or it’s company provided assets, espionage, theft of company assets.
Any decision that will have any significant change on the server or community, whether through policy, rules, or content additions or alterations, is discussed by everyone with the Direction Staff role. This includes all Owners, Head Admins, and our System Admin.
* 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.''
After discussion and reaching a majority consensus, the change will either be approved for implementation when ready or denied. We often come to some form of compromise if the vote was not initially unanimous. Community feedback is welcome and always considered during this process, but the decision is ultimately based on if it fits the goals for the server.  


''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.''
Minor changes are often quickly discussed and approved by majority consensus of currently online/available Direction Staff before being implemented/merged, rather than the whole team, but are subject to revision if there is later disagreement.

!Punishment
!Brigging Procedure Notes:
|-
|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.
|The criminal retains their PDA, headset, and all of their original belongings that are not contraband or evidence of a crime, unless they misuse this right.
|-
|Over 25 minutes, 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.
|-
|Over 40 minutes, 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.
|-
|Over 60 minutes, 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.
|}
 
=== 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.
* 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.
* In the case of possession or any incident involving several separate and distinct items, only one count of the most severe charge applies.
* 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.
