Intended to be a quick summary of Command SOP for those who are new or in a hurry. See the full Command SOP for more details.
Expectations of Command:
- Enable others both in collaborative roleplay and mechanically. Don't be eager to shut down antagonists to "win".
- Do your job. Ensure your department is functional. Teach people when needed.
- Don't do other people's jobs, whenever it is reasonable to delegate the task to crew from an appropriate department/role.
- Don't break the law or SOP without admin permission.
- Don't get in Security's way or do their job.
- Avoid placing yourself in danger in active combat on purpose.
- As Captain, avoid undermining other Command in their departments and specializations.
- As Command, especially XO, avoid undermining the Captain's orders and decisions.
Hiring/Firing:
- Captain can hire or fire anyone in any department but should defer to Department Heads for that department's staff when possible.
- Captain can hire new Department Heads at any time. Should be from that department when reasonable to do so.
- Captain may dismiss Department Heads with a majority vote of Command, or with Magistrate's approval.
- Captain may dismiss Acting Department Heads at any time.
- Department Heads can hire anyone into their department. Even if the person is already employed elsewhere.
- Department Heads can dismiss anyone from their department at will, but should have a good reason (such as criminal activity).
XO Quick Summary:
- XO is second in command. Takes control (as ACO) if the Captain is SSD, goes on a long break, or is dead/incapacitated.
- Captain selects the XO at will from other Command, and can dismiss them at will.
- If there is no Captain, all of Command votes on who is XO (who then becomes ACO).
- Captain can give the XO tasks. XO then has authority second only to the Captain when carrying out that task.
- XO can take independent action during life threatening emergencies if the Captain is not already responding to them.
- XO may not undermine the Captain's decisions.
