Logistics Procedures

This page has not gone into effect until this text is removed.

Orders

Logistics members should approve orders made by individuals with legal access to the contents of their order.

• Orders may be delayed or denied due to low funds, questionable legality, or excessive orders from the same department or individual.
• Orders that are deemed unrelated to the function of the station or safety of the crew may be delayed or given lower priority for purchase when funds are low.
• Requests to remedy material shortages should be handled as a high priority, without the need for an individual order.
• Orders for security weapons and armor should only be approved with an explicit request from a member of the security department.

Hazardous Item Handling

Orders that involve items that are potentially dangerous (including but not limited to: weapons, toxic or flammable gas canisters, chemicals, and artifacts) should be treated as a high priority, and kept secure within the Logistics department until they are sold, delivered, or picked up by the individual or department that ordered it.

Artifacts must be transported inside a locked containment unit.

Salvage Procedures

Salvage Weapon Permit

Because of the requirement for their work, Salvage workers operate with a T2 contraband license that covers most smaller firearms, armor, and hardsuits. This does not legally cover anything larger than a Universal or Python.

Conscription Kits

Salvagers can acquire a Conscription Kit, which may be used to employ new salvagers. Salvagers may only hire passengers, or non-command Individuals who must receive permission from their departmental head before conscription as a salvager.

Once an individual has been conscripted, they must have their original ID changed to the position of salvager, and the LO (or equivalent command figure) must be informed of the conscription. Failure to follow proper Salvage Operating Procedures during conscription may result in appropriate penalties being applied for the parties involved.

Active Workplace Salvaging

Before executing salvaging of any active workplace or area inhabited by sentient beings, including rival company area(s), you must confirm with and receive direct permission from your commanding officer. You must act in accordance with space law at all times. Failure to do so may lead to consequences including termination of contract, criminal charges, and brig time.

Radio Contact

Salvage specialists should check in with the station regularly, usually through the use of a handheld radio if they are outside the reach of normal radio communication. The Logistics Officer, if present, should be the main point of contact for salvage specialists. If the LO is unavailable or unable to maintain radio contact, ensure that someone else on the station is listening before leaving the station for dangerous destinations.
