¶ Summary
Space Law is a collection of rules and regulations enacted by Nanotrasen which has oversight through CentCom and is enforced by the Security Officers on the station. Space Law applies to all ranks and positions on station, from the lowliest Assistant to the highest Captain, all are equal under the eyes of the Law and ultimately answer to it. As such, a good working knowledge of Space Law is important for any person on the station, though a more in-depth understanding of space law is required for such positions as the Lawyer, Warden, and the Head of Security.

¶ General info
- Confiscated items must be placed in evidence until they can be returned to their rightful owners, not left on the brig floor or your personal use.
- Security is prohibited from using most Syndicate contraband outside of dire situations.
- Intent is important in determining the level of some crimes. If intent cannot be determined, the lesser charge should be given.
- Criminals who commit multiple crimes may have charges stacked. The sentences for multiple crimes should run consecutively, not concurrently.
- Charges in the same row should not be stacked for the same count; instead, charge the crew member with the highest applicable offense per count.
- If a crew member is de-converted from revolutionary or cult groups, all charges related to their time in the organization should be dropped, and they should be given a mindshield (if possible).
- The warden is responsible for ensuring that all prisoners are safe and that the brig is secure. Failure to do this can result in demotion.
- A crew member cannot be held for more than 10 minutes without being processed. If 10 minutes elapses and no evidence is provided, the crew member should be set free.
- Officers are expected to know space law. Officers who are seen to not know the law can be demoted (and possibly even face administrative issues)
- Contraband is defined and guidance on what could be classified is given.
¶ Arresting a Head of Staff
- Warrants for heads of staff must be approved by the Head of Security, Captain, or Centcom unless they have clearly committed a crime.
- Warrants for the Captain must be agreed to by majority vote within the Heads of Staff unless the captain has plainly committed a crime.
- Demotion of a command member and promotion of acting command must be approved by the captain.
It can safely be assumed that a head of staff is threatening to arrest. Bring backup.
¶ Punishments
¶ Brigging
The Warden, Head of Security, and Captain all share authority over the brig. Brigging procedures are primarily the job of the warden, but can be done by the HoS or arresting officer should the warden be unavailable.
Standard Operational Procedures for brigging are as follows:
- Take the prisoner to the brig and inform the Warden of their crimes so their security record may be updated.
- Take the prisoner to a brig cell, set the time and activate the timer.
- Enter the cell with the prisoner in tow, open the cell locker and hold the prisoner over it.
- Empty their pockets and remove their gloves, backpacks, tool belt, gas masks, and any flash resistant equipment such as Sunglasses, Welding Masks/Goggles, Space Helmets, etc.
- Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
- Search the items removed and be sure to check the internals box in their backpack.
- Confiscate any contraband and/or stolen items, as well as any tools that were used to commit crimes.
These are to be placed in evidence, not left on the brig floor or your personal use, until they can be returned to their rightful owners. - Close the locker and lock it.
- Stun the prisoner, remove their cuffs, stun them again, pick up the cuffs then leave the cell. This may not be needed for cooperative prisoners
- Modify their brig sentence for additional offences or good behaviour, if applicable.
¶ Invasive Implants and Searching
With specific regard to Hostile Agents, as per code 205, Nanotrasen Security division has been asked to provide a list of permissible actions which may not otherwise be taken for crimes of similar severity.
- Tracking implants may be used without any additional conditions.
- Chemical implants with non-lethal contents may be used if the agent has also been convicted of a violent crime.
- Implant checks may only be performed If there is definitive evidence that they have an implant. This includes members of security witnessing implant use, finding implanters, or implant boxes with fingerprints or other related fibers.
¶ Permabrigging
- Prisoners must be cuffed, and their ID must be terminated.
- Prisoners must be stripped of all belongings. Said belongings must be placed in one of the prisoner gear lockers.
- Plasmamen shouldn't be stripped of their uniform, helmet and gloves if there is no prisoner equivalent available and should keep their plasma internals.
- Prisoners must be clothed in a prisoner uniform and shoes and given a Prisoner ID.
- Prisoners must be brought to the Permabrig area by the Warden or HoS and the doors closed properly behind them.
- Prisoners must be buckle-cuffed to one of the beds.
- Prisoner must have his cuffs removed and the cuffs recovered before the officers leave.
¶ Execution
- Prisoners must be cuffed, and their ID must be terminated.
- Prisoners must be stripped of all belongings and placed in one of the prisoner gear lockers, and the prisoner equipped with standard prisoner uniform.
- Plasmamen shouldn't be stripped of their uniform, helmet and gloves as there is no prisoner equivalent available and should keep their plasma internals.
- Prisoners must be brought to the Prisoner Transfer room.
- It is advised, but not required, to have a Brig Physician in attendance to verify death. A chaplain may be present to give last rites.
- Authorization must be given by the Head of Security or Captain. If either is not assigned, dead, missing, or otherwise rendered incapable of providing authorization, the Acting Captain or Acting Head of Security may authorize an execution in their stead. Should the Captain and Acting Captain be unable to provide authorization, it must come from Central Command. Without authorization, executions are murder.
- When an execution is authorised by the HoS, the HoS is REQUIRED to inform the Captain/Acting Captain. The Captain or Acting Captain can veto an execution at any time for any reason he see fit. Proceeding with an execution after a Captain veto is murder.
- Update the security and medical records of the executed prisoner.
Though not obligatory, it is recommended that all executed prisoners be considered for borgification post-execution.
¶ Gulag/ Labor Camp
- After searching the prisoner and confiscating contraband, weapons, and stolen items, have the Warden or HoS put the prisoner in the prisoner teleporter. DO NOT STRIP THE PRISONER OR PUT THEM IN A JUMPSUIT.
- Assign a prisoner a prison ID by putting it in the prisoner management console and assign a point value (1 minute = 100 points).
- For perma prisoners, skip this step.
- Press the "Process Prisoner" button. The prisoner will be automatically dressed in a prisoner outfit and their items will be held in the teleporter until they complete their point total.
¶ Security Policies and Practices
¶ Deputizing Procedure
Crewmembers may be deputized in the event that there are not enough security personnel to effectively maintain the station's safety. Deputies should be interviewed prior to such assignment by the Head of Security. For their investiture to be lawful, the following basic procedure has to be followed.
- Call for deputies
- Search candidates for contraband or other disqualifying evidence.
- Conduct an interview with the candidate
- Generate a record of their acceptance or denial, provide a copy to the candidate.
- Issue a kit of deputy equipment, including ID access extension card, armband, nightstick, handcuffs, and mindshield implant
Deputies have full police powers equivalent to a Security Officer to arrest and search suspicious individuals, however as they are not fully trained members of the security team it is advisable that for conviction more evidence exist beyond their sole testimony.
¶ Legal Representation and Trials
Prisoners are permitted to seek legal representation; however, you are under no obligation to provide or allow this. Lawyers, and by extension the Head of Personnel, exist to serve as a guiding hand and the voice of reason within the judicial process, but they have zero authority over the brig, security personnel, prisoners, or sentencing. The lawyer's security headset is a privilege not a right. Security personnel are under no requirement to listen to them, and security channel abuse is to result in that privilege being revoked. If the lawyer continuously acts as a disruptive influence, Security personnel are fully permitted to confiscate their access, remove them from the brig and bar their future access to it.
In instances where a conflict of opinion arises over the sentence of a prisoner the chain of command must be followed. This goes, from top to bottom: Captain > Head of Security > Warden > Sec Officer.
Trials are not to be performed for timed sentences. This is mainly for the benefit of the accused as trials will often run many times the length of the actual sentence.
Trials may be performed for capital crimes and permanent detention; however, there is no requirement to hold them. Forensic evidence, witness testimony, or confessions are all that is required for the Head of Security, Warden, or Captain to authorize their sentence.
In cases where the death penalty is desired but the Captain/Acting Captain or HoS/Acting HoS is either absent or unable/unwilling to authorize the execution, a trial is required to authorize the death penalty.
¶ Use of Deadly Force
As a member of the station's security force, you are one of the best armed and protected people on the station, equipped with the almost latest in non-lethal takedown technology.
It is for this reason that the situations that warrant the use of deadly force are few and far between. In most circumstances you will be expected to use your stun weapons to diffuse a situation.
There are a few circumstances where deadly force is permissible:
- Code Red Situation - situations which would warrant a code red, such as: full blown mutinies, hostile boarding parties, and space wizards automatically authorize lethal force. Note: The alert status is not required to be elevated to code red as in most of these scenarios the chain of command will be too damaged or otherwise occupied to raise the alert level.
- Non-Lethal Weapons Ineffective - certain targets are impervious to NLWs, such as mechs, xenomorphs, borgs, and hulks. Lethal force may be used against these targets if they prove hostile until they are incapacitated. Victims should either be revived or the execution should be posthumously approved by the captain.
- Severe Personal Risk - sometimes getting close enough to a target to slap the cuffs on will create significant personal risk to the officer. Deadly force from range is recommended to subdue hostile wizards and changelings.
- Criminals in hostile environments such as space, fire, or plasma leaks also fall into this category, as do criminals believed to be in possession of high explosives. Ranged lethal force is the only reasonable option in these conditions.
- Armed and Dangerous - if a suspect is in possession of weapons, including stun weapons, and you have reasonable suspicion that they will use these against you, lethal force is permitted. However, it is still preferable to attempt to detain them non-lethally.
- Unauthorized personnel in the armory are considered to be armed and dangerous by default. Maximum force is permitted to subdue such targets.
- Multiple Hostiles - it can be extremely difficult to detain multiple hostiles. As a last resort, you may deploy your baton in a harmful manner or fire into the crowd with lethal arms to thin the crowd.
In general, if it is possible to capture personnel non-lethally you should. If you do not, expect to have to justify yourself to your superiors to not get fired, and to the administrators to not be job banned.
¶ Priority Threat and Accessory
Accessory: Accessory charges can be given to anyone who assists a criminal in committing a crime or escaping from security. The sentence for accessory charges can be the same as the original criminal up to and including execution, though the HoS and warden are allowed to give a lesser charge. Intent or knowledge of the original crime is not needed. This can also be applied to crew members who are masters of golems or pAIs if those creations commit a significant enough crime.
Priority threats currently include: Bloodsuckers, The Changeling Hivemind, Heretics, Revolutionary's, The Cult of Nar'Sie, and Clockwork cultists. Deconversion should always be the top priority whenever possible. Execution of revolutionaries and cultists is only authorized when deconversion is not possible or poses too significant of a risk. For threats who pose too great a threat to detain, immediate execution is authorized.
¶ Glossary of Crimes
¶ Modifiers
Circumstances that may be applied to incidents or crimes depending on circumstance.
| Code | Crime | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| M01 | Clear and Present Danger | Crimes Committed in the interest of saving life, property, or preventing a disaster may have their sentences reduced, voided, or expunged. | This modifier is primarily to cover situations such as breaking into an area one does not have access to, in the interest of saving someone's life or otherwise with good intent. |
| M02 | Elevated Sentencing | The scope of the crime(s), or repeticious behavior commited, warrant the charge be elevated to a higher offence for punishment in increments of one level per instance. | Primarily intended to be used after a few repetitions. This includes attacking security, heads of staff, or committing multiple instances of the same crime. Crimes charged with this modifier are exempt from punishment outside of confinement. |
| M03 | Self Defense | Actions taken to defend ones self from an assailant may have sentences reduced, voided, or expunged if the officer(s) involved deem that use of force reasonable. | This isn't a school. You can punch back, but don't be out of scale. |
| M04 | Non Compos Mentis | Those of unstable mind should be referred to medical treatment or, if required, forced cryogenic storage. | English: Insanity.

| M05 | Griseo Maris | Coordinated behavior by those with no clear assigned duty which interrupts the normal function of any one department may lead to sentencing for any crimes committed during such actions to be increased in severity by one level for punishment. | English: Grey Tide. Go be useful you fucks. |
| M06 | Resisting Arrest | Knowingly resisting attempts at legal detention by members of the security team. It is advised that these individuals should have their sentences increased the recommended 20% of total duration. | Running will only increase your sentence. |
| M07 | Escaped Prisoner/Attempting Escape | Someone who has escaped their cell should be recaptured and returned to the brig. Their timer should be reset to the full length of the original sentence. If they attempted to escape the timer should be reset to half of the original time.
