Command

Details
Here is a list of all the SOP documents for command.
 Captain SOP

1. The Captain is not permitted to perform regular Security Duty. However, they may still assist Security if they are understaffed, or if they see a crime being committed.

In addition, the Captain may not requisition weaponry for themselves from Cargo and/or Science, unless there's an immediate threat to station and/or crew;

2. If a Department lacks a Head of Staff, the Captain should make reasonable efforts to appoint an Acting Head of Staff, if there are available personnel to fill the position;

3. The Captain is to ensure that Space Law is being correctly applied. This should be done in cooperation with the Head of Security;

4. The Captain is not to leave the Station unless given specific permission by Central Command, or it happens to be the end of the shift. To do so is to be considered abandoning their posts and is grounds for termination;

6. The Captain is to attempt to resolve every issue that arises in Command locally before contacting Central Command;

9. The Captain may not fire any Head of Staff without reasonable justification (ie, incompetency, criminal activity, or otherwise any action that endangers/compromises the station and/or crew). The Captain may not fire any Central Command VIPs (ie, Blueshield, NanoTrasen Representative) without permission from Central Command, unless they are blatantly acting against the well-being and safety of the crew and station. The Captain must also follow HoP SOP point 5.

 Head of Personnel SOP

1. The Head of Personnel may not transfer any personnel to another Department without authorization from the relevant Head of Staff. If no Head of Staff is available, the Head of Personnel may make a judgment call. This does not apply to Security, which always requires authorization from the Head of Security, or Genetics, which requires both Chief Medical Officer and Research Director approval. If there is no Head of Security active, no transfers are allowed to Security without authorization from the Captain;

2. The Head of Personnel may not give any personnel increased access without authorization from the relevant Head of Staff. This includes the Head of Personnel. In addition, the Head of Personnel may only give Captain-Level access to someone if they are the Acting Captain. This access is to be removed when a proper Captain arrives at the station;

2. The NanoTrasen Representative must attempt to resolve any breach of Standard Operating Procedure locally before contacting Central Command. This is an imperative: Standard Operating Procedure should always be followed unless there is a very good reason not to;

3. The NanoTrasen Representative must, together with the Head of Security, ensure that Space Law is being followed and correctly applied;

4. The NanoTrasen Representative may not threaten the use of a fax in order to gain leverage over any personnel, up to and including Command. In addition, they may not threaten to fire or have Central Command fire anyone, unless they actually possess a demotion note;

5. The NanoTrasen Representative is permitted to carry their flash and a blade-cane, or a stun baton if the blade-cane is lost.

 # Blueshield Officer SOP

1. The Blueshield may not conduct arrests under the same conditions as Security. However, they may apprehend any personnel that trespass on a Head of Staff Office or Command Area, any personnel that steal from those locations, or any personnel that steal from and/or injure any Head of Staff or Central Command VIP. However, all apprehended personnel are to be processed by Security personnel;

 Magistrate SOP

1. The Magistrate is to ensure that Space Law is applied correctly. If it is not, they are to make it so;

2. The Magistrate has the final say on whether Trials take place, and should ensure they should only occur for Capital Sentences. Similarly, Magistrates are to ensure that Trials do not happen for Defendants that are self-evidently guilty;

3. The Magistrate may overrule anyone in all matters concerning Space Law. This does not extend to Emergency Response Teams, Central Command Officials or direct Central Command communications;

4. The Magistrate is permitted to carry their flash;

5. The Magistrate is not above Space Law. Similarly, the Magistrate cannot overrule Security on a sentence imposed against themselves;

6. In the absence of Internal Affairs Agents or a NanoTrasen Representative, the Magistrate may elect to handle matters of Standard Operating Procedure. Otherwise, the Magistrate is only to ensure that the NanoTrasen Representative under their command are handling such matters;

8. The Magistrate is to contact Central Command immediately if their decisions are being ignored, provided said decision actually match up with Space Law and Standard Operating Procedure.

If you need to deviate

Document document document! After action reports, calling CentCom on the fabled red phone, or even praying will be heard by CentCom and your actions may be excused if they were determined to be in the best interest for NanoTrasen.

I don't see my job listed here!

It may be because this is a living document, and SOP is not yet finalized. The following SOP documents are completed for other Head's of Staff; Glory to NanoTrasen!
