Space Law applies to all Nanotrasen employees and authorized visitors of the station. Anyone aboard the station legally is both protected by, and expected to follow, Space Law. Any individuals that forcefully board the station are not protected by Space Law.
Central Command can authorize pardons for crimes as they see fit.

= Interpretation of the Law [[file:documents.png|32px]]=
 
In order to facilitate productivity, an operating knowledge of Space Law is important for Nanotrasen employees. In-depth knowledge of Space Law is required for positions such as Magistrate, Internal Affairs Agent, Warden, and the Head of Security. Some Space Law knowledge is required for the role of Captain who, in the absence of key Legal & Security members, may be required to render judgment.
 
With this in mind, please review the following sections.

'''''Space Law is a tool to benefit the station, not a cudgel.'''''
* The greater good of the station should be considered when sentencing.
* Space Law is designed to protect the station and crew, not to hinder them.
* Station-wide emergencies, such as a nuclear threat, take precedence over enforcement.
 
'''''Behaviour may merit leniency or severity in sentencing.'''''
* Minor, Medium, and Major Crimes all have discretionary sentencing ranges.
* Modifiers, where applicable, can also be applied to sentences.
* Pending relevant approval, demotions may be a more effective tool.
 
<span style="font-size:1.2em">'''The Ethos of the Law'''</span><hr>
'''''Sentencing conflicts are to be resolved by the 'Chain of Authority.''''''
* If the Magistrate is present, their opinion outweighs all others sans Central Command.
* Otherwise, obey the following: Captain > Head of Security > Warden > Officer / Detective.


'''''The Magistrate is the final authority on Space Law.'''''
* If the Magistrate is not present, the Captain may perform duties (like authorizing executions) in lieu.
* The Magistrate may be overridden at any time by Central Command.

'''''A sentence of sixty minutes results in permanent imprisonment.'''''
* This includes [[#Repeat Offender|Repeat Offenders]] on their fourth same-type offense.
* This applies regardless of the crimes or modifiers.


=== Interpretation of the Law ===
'''''Knowingly aiding a criminal is [[#Aiding and Abetting|Aiding and Abetting]].'''''
* Offenders are to be charged with the same sentence as the person they helped.
* The minimum charge is five minutes (even if the original offender only receives a warning).


A good working knowledge of Space Law is important for any person on the station. It can be the difference between a shiny pair of handcuffs and sipping Gargle Blasters in the bar. More in depth interpretations of space law are required for such positions as the Magistrate, IAA, Warden, HoP, and the HoS. While it is unlikely that the officers will listen particularly closely to your protestations, it may be enough to lighten your sentence and avoid ill treatment by security.
'''''To [[#Resisting Arrest|Resist Arrest]] is to resist the Law.'''''
<br>
* This includes resisting any legal arrest or search: a sentence of zero to five minutes applies.
For certain crimes, the accused's intent is important. The difference between Assault and Attempted Murder can be very hard to ascertain, and, when in doubt, you should default to the less serious crime. It is important to note though, that Assault and Attempted Murder are mutually exclusive. You cannot be charged with Assault and Attempted Murder from the same crime as the intent of each is different. Likewise, 'Assault With a Deadly Weapon' and 'Assaulting an Officer' are also crimes that exclude others. Pay careful attention to the requirements of each law and select the one that best fits the crime when deciding sentence. The highest charge should apply here. Do NOT stack multiple
* Like Aiding and Abetting, this applies regardless of the crime committed (or lack thereof).
<br>
In the case of violent crimes (Assault, Manslaughter, Attempted Murder and Murder), and theft (Petty Theft, Pick-Pocketing, Theft, and Grand Theft) take only the most severe.
<br>
A single incident has a single sentence, so if, for instance, the prisoner took three items off of someone, this is a single count of pick-pocketing, if they pick-pocketed two people this would be two separate counts of pick-pocketing, and so on.
<br>
Knowingly aiding a criminal makes you an accomplice; you can be charged with the same crime as the person you aided.


'''''For certain crimes, intentionality is a factor.'''''
* For instance, [[#Murder|5-02 - Murder]] and [[#Manslaughter|4-01 - Manslaughter]] differ only by intent.
* Where intent cannot be proven, charge the lesser crime.


====Brig Procedures====
== Legal Representation and Trials [[file:gavel.png|32px]]==
Standard Operational Procedures for brigging are as follows:
[[File:LawDet.png|frame|The detective files a report during his investigation on Punpun's murder.]]
* Take the prisoner to the brig and inform the Warden/HoS of their crimes so their Security Record may be updated.
See [[Legal Standard Operating Procedure]].
* 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.
While prisoners are permitted to seek legal representation, '''Security is under no obligation to provide or allow it unless otherwise specified by the Magistrate.'''
* Empty their pockets and remove their gloves, backpacks, tool belt, and any flash resistant equipment such as Sunglasses, Welding Masks/Goggles, Space Helmets, etc. If they are a Vox, do NOT remove their internals!
* Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
Internal Affairs Agents, and by extension the Magistrate, exist to serve as a guiding hand and the voice of reason within the sentencing process. However:
* Search the items removed, be sure to check the internals box in their backpack.
* Confiscate any [[Contraband]] and/or stolen items.  
<br>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'''.
* Flash the prisoner, remove their cuffs, pick up the cuffs then leave the cell.
* Modify their brig sentence for additional offences or good behavior, if applicable.


'''Do''' ''NOT'' '''fully strip the prisoner unless they have earned a permanent sentence.'''<br>
* Internal Affairs Agents have '''zero''' authority over the Brig, Security personnel, prisoners, or sentencing.
* Internal Affairs Agents attempting to throw their weight around can, and should be, ignored.
* Disruptive IAAs can be barred from Security by the Magistrate, HoS, Warden or Captain.


In the instance of prisoners that have earned [[Labor Camp]] duty, you must dress them in orange overalls and assign them targets, based on their sentence, by getting a prison ID, putting it in a [[Prisoner Management Console]], assigning their target and then giving them the ID as you ship them to the Labor Camp. There are more details on this procedure at [[Labor Camp]].
An Internal Affairs Agent who continues to be disruptive, or ignores being barred from Security, may be demoted at the Magistrate's discretion. The Captain may approve their demotion if no Magistrate is available.


In the instances of prisoners that have earned permanent detention it is the duty, under normal circumstances, of the Warden or Head of Security to process these prisoners. <br>
== Enemies of the Corporation [[file:emag.png|32px]]==


Permanent Prisoners are to be completely stripped of their belongings, which are to be held in either evidence or a prison locker. <br>
Occasionally, you will encounter personnel that are working for an enemy of Nanotrasen (such as the Syndicate) and/or are working to undermine Nanotrasen's operations.
The prisoner is to be dressed in an Orange Prison Jumpsuit and Shoes, which are found in the prison lockers.<br>
Permanent Prisoners are not permitted to possess any personal belongings whilst they are incarcerated in the [[Prison Wing]].


====Legal Representation and Trials====
Current enemies of Nanotrasen include but are not limited to: The Syndicate (through secret agents, boarding parties, and brainwashing specialists), the Space Wizard Federation, Changelings, Vampires, and other intelligent hostile forms of life that seek to cause major damage to the station and or crew.


Prisoners are permitted to seek legal representation however you are under no obligation to provide or allow this.
* '''Execution/Imprisonment''' - If an Enemy of the Corporation has not committed any [[#Capital Crimes|Capital Crimes]] they are to be placed in Permanent Imprisonment (Permabrig/Solitary/Labour Camp) without exception. Otherwise, Execution is permitted at the discretion of the Magistrate. If no Magistrate has been assigned, or is otherwise unable to authorize an execution, the Captain may authorize executions in accordance with [[Legal Standard Operating Procedure]].


IAA, and by extension the Head of Personnel, exist to serve as a guiding hand and the voice of reason within the judicial process, however they have zero authority over the brig, security personnel, prisoners, or sentencing. <br>
* '''Uncontainable EoCs''' - Powered Vampires, or any other Enemies of the Corporation that cannot be contained safely in the Brig, are to be executed irrespective of their crimes. Head Revolutionaries are to be executed as soon as they are positively identified. Being a space-proof species does not constitute being impossible to contain.
The IAA'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 priviledge being revoked. <br>
If the IAA continuously acts as a disruptive influence Security 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: Magistrate > Captain > Head of Security > Warden > Sec Officer / Detective.
* '''Changelings''' - All changelings are to be considered hostile alien lifeforms and a direct threat to all personnel. All changelings are to be killed on sight and immediately cremated. Forensic evidence and/or direct testimony from Mindshielded personnel is necessary to establish proof they are a changeling. Personnel who provide false testimony are to be charged with Murder if the supposed changeling is killed and attempted murder if it is not.


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.
* '''Surrendering EoCs''' - Enemies of the Corporation that willingly turn themselves into Security of their own accord are to be kept in Permanent Imprisonment so long as they aren't impossible to contain. Defectors and captives are to be transported to Central Command via the Crew Transfer Shuttle; they are to be treated as dangerous enemies, but also protected from retribution and provided for.
<br>
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.<br>
In cases where the Death Penalty is desired but the Captain or Acting-Captain is unable or unwilling to authorize the execution a trial '''is required''' to authorise the death penalty.


====Use of Deadly Force====
* '''Parole for EoCs''' - See: [[Legal Standard Operating Procedure#Parole|Legal SOP, Parole Section]]


As a member of the stations Security force you are one of the best armed and protected people on the station, equipped with the almost latest in non-lethal take down technology.<br>
== Use of Deadly Force [[File:Laser Gun.png|32px]]==
It is for this reason that the situations that warrant the use of Deadly Force are few and far between, in the grand majority of circumstances you will be expected to use your stun weapons, which indeed are many times more effective than lethal options, to diffuse a situation.
Situations that warrant the use of Deadly Force are few and far between. In the vast majority of cases, Security is expected to use non-lethal tools which are generally more effective in defusing situations. It is preferable to capture personnel through non-lethal means unless a situation warrants otherwise. Failure to adhere to this principle '''will''' result in discipline, demotion, and even job bans.
There are, however, circumstances where deadly force is permissible:

<span style="font-size:1.2em">'''Brig Procedures'''</span>


However there are certain circumstances where deadly force is permissible:
See [[Legal Standard Operating Procedure]].
* '''Code Red Situation''' - situations which would warrant a Code Red, such as: full blown mutinies, hostile boarding parties, and Space Wizards automatically authorise lethal force. <br>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.
Special precautions are to be taken aside from Standard Brigging Procedures:
* '''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 Wizards and Changelings. <br>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. Although in the majority of cases it is still preferable to attempt to detain them non-lethally. <br>Note: Unauthorised personnel in the armory are considered by default to be Armed and Dangerous, maximum force is permitted to subdue such targets.
* Ask Vox or Plasmamen prisoners where their Internals Tank is located. '''Do not remove this tank, as it will kill them.''' In such a case where their clothes have to be changed, '''expedience is mandatory.'''
* '''Multiple Hostiles''' - it can be extremely difficult to detain multiple hostiles. '''As a last resort''' if you are being mobbed you may deploy your baton in a harmful manner to thin the crowd. Generally it is better to retreat and regroup than stand your ground.
* In general, if it is possible to capture them non-lethally, you should. If you do not, expect to have to justify yourself to IAA to not get fired, and admins not to be jobbanned.
* All [[#Contraband|Contraband]] is to be confiscated and placed in Evidence Storage, including tools used in a crime. These are '''not''' to be returned.
* Routine checks on the Permabrig, Solitary or Labour Camp areas are encouraged when occupied.


<span style="font-size:1.2em">'''Executions'''</span><hr>


Additionally, in the event of an attempted prison break, the Warden and Head of Security may fire disablers through the glass. They are expected to first fire a few warning shots before unloading their weapon into the target.
Executions can be done '''only''' by [[Legal_Standard_Operating_Procedure##Execution: Electric Chair|electric chair]], [[Legal_Standard_Operating_Procedure##Execution: Lethal Injection|lethal injection]], [[Legal_Standard_Operating_Procedure##Execution: Firing Squad|firing squad]], [[Legal_Standard_Operating_Procedure##Execution: Gas Inhalation|gas inhalation]] or [[Legal_Standard_Operating_Procedure##Execution: Asphyxiation|asphyxiation]].


=== Additional Clarifications ===
* Other means of Execution are illegal, constituting a charge of [[#Murder|5-02 - Murder]], unless a prisoner explicitly requests them.
* Cyborgification, posthumous or otherwise, may also be used. See [[Legal Standard Operating Procedure]] for more information regarding executions.


Execution: Can be done ONLY by electric chair, firing squad, or lethal injection. Other types are illegal unless the prisoner requests them. Cyborgification is also a viable option, and should be used if prisoners behave, or if they appeal.
<span style="font-size:1.2em">'''Crime Stacking'''</span><hr>


In cases where the final sentence is more than 60 minutes, it is changed to a perma-brig sentence.
The rules regarding crime stacking (charging someone with multiple crimes simultaneously) are:


Loyalty implanted people's testimony is to be considered evidence. If you believe they are lying, ahelp.  
* Crimes with the same category code (last two digits) can never be charged together. e.g: 1-02, 2-02, 3-02 do not stack.
* Otherwise, crimes '''can''' be stacked together; the timers are added together for stacking.


The greater good of the station should be thought of with sentencing. If someone breaks into the AI core when it's malf, there is no need to charge them. The intent of space law is to protect the station and the crew.
''For instance, breaking a window to steal something can be charged with [[#Trespass|1-08 - Trespass]], [[#Petty Theft|1-07 - Petty Theft]], and [[#Damage to Station Assets|1-00 - Damage to Station Assets]]''


----
<span style="font-size:1.2em">'''Escape & In-Cell Vandalism'''</span><hr>
 
Often, prisoners may attempt to escape from the brig. In this case, heed the following definitions and clauses:
 
'''E-01 - In-Cell Vandalism:''' A prisoner breaking things non-essential to confinement. Examples include:
* Breaking lights and furniture.
* Damaging or destroying equipment in permabrig.


=== Minor Crimes ===
'''E-02 - Attempted Escape:''' A prisoner attempting to break or subvert confinement barriers. Examples include:
* Breaking cell windows and airlocks.
* Attacking an officer inside a cell.
* Coercing another party to assist with an escape.


All of these crimes carry a 5 minute sentence.
'''E-03 - Escape:''' A prisoner exiting their designated holding area ''without'' permission from security. Examples include:
* A prisoner exiting from a temporary cell while the timer is running.
* A permanent prisoner exiting from prisoner-accessible areas within permabrig.
* A prisoner in isolation exiting from the isolation block (moving between cells is not escaping).

This is one of the few crimes where it is recommend to always seek a third party opinion. If their actions are determined to be for the betterment of Nanotrasen consider a timed sentence or even a full pardon.

|'''Aiding and Abetting'''
! 4-00
| Knowingly assisting a criminal is a crime. This includes but is not limited to: Interfering with an arrest, stealing a prisoner in transit, breaking a prisoner out of the brig/prison, hiding a fugitive, providing medical care (unless paired with a large dose of sleep toxins).
|[[File:Compromising_Station_Integrity.PNG]]{{anchor|Grand Sabotage}}
| The same sentence as the original criminal
|'''Grand Sabotage'''
| To engage in maliciously destructive actions which endanger the crew or station.
| Releasing damaging/lethal viruses, hotwiring the engine, disabling the gravity generator, disabling power for a department or equivalently large portion of the station, subverting or destroying the AI, opening several holes in the station hull, setting fire to large areas, detonating multiple cyborgs, and activating high-yield explosives all count as Grand Sabotage. For lesser acts, see [[#Sabotage|Sabotage]]. If death was caused, see [[#Murder|Murder]].
|-
|-
|'''Loyalty Implants'''
! 4-01
| Loyalty implantation is only to be done for either Capital crimes, or in the case of a prisoner's consent. For a non-Capital crime, loyalty implantation when consented to is considered the sentence, and no brig time needs to be served. With a capital offence, loyalty implantation may be done in addition to a brig sentence. In this case, they are to be sentenced as per a major crime, and released afterwards. If the loyalty implant is not effective, due to them resisting it as in the case of a Head Rev, or choosing to ignore it, then the original Capital sentence should be given. Adminhelping is also advised.
|[[File:SL_Manslaughter.png]]{{anchor|Manslaughter}}
|'''Manslaughter'''
| To cause death to a person via deliberate attack or excessive negligence, without any intent to kill.
| Any effort to prevent the resuscitation or cloning of the victim raises this to [[#Murder|Murder]]. If any evidence of intent exists, see [[#Murder|Murder]].
|-
! 4-02
|[[File:Attempted_Murder.PNG]]{{anchor|Attempted Murder}}
|'''Attempted Murder'''
| To use excessive physical force with intention to cause death.
| Use of lethal weaponry such as firearms and explosives are considered as intent to murder. If aid was rendered to the victim by the perpetrator afterwards, this may actually be [[#Manslaughter|Manslaughter]].
|-
! 4-07
|[[File:SL_Grand Theft.png‎]]{{anchor|Grand Theft}}
|'''Grand Theft'''
| To steal items of high value or sensitive nature from either an area or one's person.
| Theft of cutting-edge technology, documents, and research samples. Examples include the nuke, hand teleporters, the Captain/Head of Security's Antique Laser, Captain/HoP level ID cards, mechas, and departmental door remotes. Unauthorized use or access of credits, from any source, in excess of 1,000 is considered Grand Theft.
Almost all [[High-Risk Items]] fall in this category. For theft of less important property, see [[#Theft|Theft]] or [[#Petty Theft|Petty Theft]].

Useful Resources

Space Law is the name given to the set of corporate regulations approved by the Nanotrasen Board of Directors for use on their Space Stations.

Space Law applies to all Nanotrasen employees and authorized visitors of the station. Anyone aboard the station legally is both protected by, and expected to follow, Space Law. Any individuals that forcefully board the station are not protected by Space Law.

Central Command can authorize pardons for crimes as they see fit.

Adminhelp if you wish to intentionally break a law.

Interpretation of the Law Documents.png

In order to facilitate productivity, an operating knowledge of Space Law is important for Nanotrasen employees. In-depth knowledge of Space Law is required for positions such as Magistrate, Internal Affairs Agent, Warden, and the Head of Security. Some Space Law knowledge is required for the role of Captain who, in the absence of key Legal & Security members, may be required to render judgment.

With this in mind, please review the following sections.

An internal affairs agent argues for his client's acquittal based on a technicality.

The Pathos of the Law


Space Law is a tool to benefit the station, not a cudgel.

  • The greater good of the station should be considered when sentencing.
  • Space Law is designed to protect the station and crew, not to hinder them.
  • Station-wide emergencies, such as a nuclear threat, take precedence over enforcement.

Behaviour may merit leniency or severity in sentencing.

  • Minor, Medium, and Major Crimes all have discretionary sentencing ranges.
  • Modifiers, where applicable, can also be applied to sentences.
  • Pending relevant approval, demotions may be a more effective tool.

The Ethos of the Law


Sentencing conflicts are to be resolved by the 'Chain of Authority.'

  • If the Magistrate is present, their opinion outweighs all others sans Central Command.
  • Otherwise, obey the following: Captain > Head of Security > Warden > Officer / Detective.

The Magistrate is the final authority on Space Law.

  • If the Magistrate is not present, the Captain may perform duties (like authorizing executions) in lieu.
  • The Magistrate may be overridden at any time by Central Command.

The Logos of the Law


Space Law does not allow for multiple counts of the same charge.

  • Stealing every toolbox on station is only one count of Petty Theft.
  • Repeat offenses are to be prosecuted with the Repeat Offender modifier.

A sentence of sixty minutes results in permanent imprisonment.

  • This includes Repeat Offenders on their fourth same-type offense.
  • This applies regardless of the crimes or modifiers.

Knowingly aiding a criminal is Aiding and Abetting.

  • Offenders are to be charged with the same sentence as the person they helped.
  • The minimum charge is five minutes (even if the original offender only receives a warning).

To Resist Arrest is to resist the Law.

  • This includes resisting any legal arrest or search: a sentence of zero to five minutes applies.
  • Like Aiding and Abetting, this applies regardless of the crime committed (or lack thereof).

For certain crimes, intentionality is a factor.

Legal Representation and Trials Gavel.png

The detective files a report during his investigation on Punpun's murder.

See Legal Standard Operating Procedure.

While prisoners are permitted to seek legal representation, Security is under no obligation to provide or allow it unless otherwise specified by the Magistrate.

Internal Affairs Agents, and by extension the Magistrate, exist to serve as a guiding hand and the voice of reason within the sentencing process. However:

  • Internal Affairs Agents have zero authority over the Brig, Security personnel, prisoners, or sentencing.
  • Internal Affairs Agents attempting to throw their weight around can, and should be, ignored.
  • Disruptive IAAs can be barred from Security by the Magistrate, HoS, Warden or Captain.

An Internal Affairs Agent who continues to be disruptive, or ignores being barred from Security, may be demoted at the Magistrate's discretion. The Captain may approve their demotion if no Magistrate is available.

Enemies of the Corporation Emag.png

Occasionally, you will encounter personnel that are working for an enemy of Nanotrasen (such as the Syndicate) and/or are working to undermine Nanotrasen's operations.

Current enemies of Nanotrasen include but are not limited to: The Syndicate (through secret agents, boarding parties, and brainwashing specialists), the Space Wizard Federation, Changelings, Vampires, and other intelligent hostile forms of life that seek to cause major damage to the station and or crew.

  • Execution/Imprisonment - If an Enemy of the Corporation has not committed any Capital Crimes they are to be placed in Permanent Imprisonment (Permabrig/Solitary/Labour Camp) without exception. Otherwise, Execution is permitted at the discretion of the Magistrate. If no Magistrate has been assigned, or is otherwise unable to authorize an execution, the Captain may authorize executions in accordance with Legal Standard Operating Procedure.
  • Uncontainable EoCs - Powered Vampires, or any other Enemies of the Corporation that cannot be contained safely in the Brig, are to be executed irrespective of their crimes. Head Revolutionaries are to be executed as soon as they are positively identified. Being a space-proof species does not constitute being impossible to contain.
  • Changelings - All changelings are to be considered hostile alien lifeforms and a direct threat to all personnel. All changelings are to be killed on sight and immediately cremated. Forensic evidence and/or direct testimony from Mindshielded personnel is necessary to establish proof they are a changeling. Personnel who provide false testimony are to be charged with Murder if the supposed changeling is killed and attempted murder if it is not.
  • Surrendering EoCs - Enemies of the Corporation that willingly turn themselves into Security of their own accord are to be kept in Permanent Imprisonment so long as they aren't impossible to contain. Defectors and captives are to be transported to Central Command via the Crew Transfer Shuttle; they are to be treated as dangerous enemies, but also protected from retribution and provided for.

Use of Deadly Force Laser Gun.png

Situations that warrant the use of Deadly Force are few and far between. In the vast majority of cases, Security is expected to use non-lethal tools which are generally more effective in defusing situations. It is preferable to capture personnel through non-lethal means unless a situation warrants otherwise. Failure to adhere to this principle will result in discipline, demotion, and even job bans.

There are, however, circumstances where deadly force is permissible:

Non-EOCs / Petty Criminals
Should lethal force be levied against a target that is not an EoC (such as a cultist), is not set to DNR, or is not set to Execute/Kill on Sight via lawful order the person is to be revived and sentenced/deconverted as soon as possible. Petty criminals met with lethal force are to be given immediate medical attention when captured.

Additional Clarifications Filingcabopen.png

Brig Procedures

See Legal Standard Operating Procedure.

Special precautions are to be taken aside from Standard Brigging Procedures:

  • Ask Vox or Plasmamen prisoners where their Internals Tank is located. Do not remove this tank, as it will kill them. In such a case where their clothes have to be changed, expedience is mandatory.
  • All Contraband is to be confiscated and placed in Evidence Storage, including tools used in a crime. These are not to be returned.
  • Routine checks on the Permabrig, Solitary or Labour Camp areas are encouraged when occupied.

Executions


Executions can be done only by electric chair, lethal injection, firing squad, gas inhalation or asphyxiation.

  • Other means of Execution are illegal, constituting a charge of 5-02 - Murder, unless a prisoner explicitly requests them.
  • Cyborgification, posthumous or otherwise, may also be used. See Legal Standard Operating Procedure for more information regarding executions.

Crime Stacking


The rules regarding crime stacking (charging someone with multiple crimes simultaneously) are:

  • Crimes with the same category code (last two digits) can never be charged together. e.g: 1-02, 2-02, 3-02 do not stack.
  • Otherwise, crimes can be stacked together; the timers are added together for stacking.

For instance, breaking a window to steal something can be charged with 1-08 - Trespass, 1-07 - Petty Theft, and 1-00 - Damage to Station Assets

Escape & In-Cell Vandalism


Often, prisoners may attempt to escape from the brig. In this case, heed the following definitions and clauses:

E-01 - In-Cell Vandalism: A prisoner breaking things non-essential to confinement. Examples include:

  • Breaking lights and furniture.
  • Damaging or destroying equipment in permabrig.

E-02 - Attempted Escape: A prisoner attempting to break or subvert confinement barriers. Examples include:

  • Breaking cell windows and airlocks.
  • Attacking an officer inside a cell.
  • Coercing another party to assist with an escape.

E-03 - Escape: A prisoner exiting their designated holding area without permission from security. Examples include:

  • A prisoner exiting from a temporary cell while the timer is running.
  • A permanent prisoner exiting from prisoner-accessible areas within permabrig.
  • A prisoner in isolation exiting from the isolation block (moving between cells is not escaping).

If placed in isolation, a temporary prisoner's timer continues running. Temporary prisoners who escape or attempt escape from isolation are subject to execution at the Magistrate or Captain's discretion.

1-07 SL Petty Theft.png Petty Theft To take items from areas one lacks access to or to take items belonging to others or the station as a whole. Keeping items which are in short supply where they belong is what is important here. A doctor who takes all the surgical tools and hides them is guilty of Petty Theft. Petty Theft includes unauthorized use or access of credits, from any source, in amounts up to 250.

Resisting demotion is considered Petty Theft. For more serious cases, see Theft or Robbery.

1-08 SL Trespass.png Trespass To be in an area which a person lacks authorized ID access for. This counts for general areas of the station. Remember that people can break in, sneak in, or be let in. Always check that the suspect wasn't let in, or was otherwise given access. Trespass and Theft are often committed together; both sentences should be applied. For restricted areas, see Major Trespass.

Code Image Crime Description Notes
2-00 SL Creating A Workplace Hazard.png Creating a Workplace Hazard To endanger the crew or station through negligent but not deliberately malicious actions. Examples of this crime involve accidental plasma leaks, slipping hazards, accidentally shocking doors, breaking windows to space, or Security personnel not keeping their equipment secure. A banana peel in the corridor is not a hazard. A banana peel in front of the singularity is.

For Workplace Hazards that lead to death, see Manslaughter. Failure to follow legal security orders during Code Red may constitute Creating a Workplace Hazard, see Code Red SOP.

2-01 SL Kidnapping.png Kidnapping To hold a crewmember under duress or against their will. Physical harm is not required for this law to apply: the crewmember must kept in, or forcefully relocated to, a location against their will and be prevented from leaving. Cuffing/Restraining any personnel against their will, outside of legal arrests, qualifies as Kidnapping.
2-02 SL Assault.png Assault To use excessive physical force against someone without the apparent intent to kill them. To cause serious but non-critical harm to another crewmember including, but not limited to, forcible/deceptive ingestion of toxic or illicit substances. For life-threatening harm, see Aggravated Assault.
2-03 SL Narcotics Distribution.png Narcotics Distribution To distribute narcotics and other controlled substances. This includes ambrosia and space drugs. It is not illegal for them to be grown. Forcing or tricking someone to consume illicit or harmful substances, such as space drugs, is Assault. For non-distributed drugs used for recreation, see Drug Possession.
2-04 SL Weapon Posession.png Possession of a Weapon To be in possession of a dangerous item that is not part of one's job. Items capable of a high level of damage such as saws, axes, spears, stunprods, and hatchets fit into this category. If the item is part of someone's assigned duties they are permitted to carry it. For restricted weapons, see Possession of a Restricted Weapon.
2-05 SL Rioting.png Rioting To partake in an unauthorized and disruptive assembly of crewmen. It is required to order the crowd to disperse; failure to disperse is the crime, not the assembly itself. Crimes committed during the riot are considered separate offenses. For the ringleader of a riot, see Inciting a Riot.
2-06 SL Abuse of Confiscated Equipment.png Abuse of Confiscated Equipment To take and use equipment confiscated as evidence. Evidence is not to be used for anything but evidence with the exception of the Syndicate Encryption Key. Anything used in a crime is considered evidence, this includes everything from tools, to guns, to emags. For general abuse of security equipment, see Abuse of Equipment.
2-07 SL Robbery.png Robbery To steal items from another's person. Remember to return the stolen items to the lawful owner. Stealing an ID is the most common and serious form of robbery. This includes the theft of up to 250 credits. If the victim was SSD, ahelp it - this isn't allowed. For robbery of more valuable items, see Theft or Grand Theft.

Major Crimes


All of these crimes are punishable by a sentence of 10 to 15 minutes at the discretion of Security.

Security processing a suspected cultist.
Code Image Crime Description Notes
3-00 SL Sabotage.png Sabotage To hinder the work of the crew or station through malicious actions. Deliberately releasing N2O, bolting doors, disabling power for a small area of the station, destroying cyborgs, and constructing barricades are all examples of sabotage. For more violent forms, see Grand Sabotage.
3-02 SL Aggravated Assault.png Aggravated Assault To use excessive physical force resulting in severe or life-threatening harm. Breaking bones, disfiguring, causing internal bleeding, or otherwise putting someone into a critical state. If the victim dies as a result of their injuries, see Manslaughter or Murder.

The Bartender is permitted their shotgun and beanbag rounds. The Captain and Head of Security can issue weapon permits.

For non-restricted weapons, see Possession of a Weapon. For detonation of explosives, see Sabotage or Grand Sabotage.

3-05 SL Inciting a Riot.png Inciting a Riot To attempt to stir the crew into a riot. The offender should also have restrictions placed on their radio traffic and be given a tracking bio-chip. For second offenses or violent uprisings, see Mutiny.
3-06 SL Posession of Contraband.png Possession of Contraband To be in the possession of contraband items. Being in possession of S-grade contraband, or committing a major crime with contraband, makes you an Enemy of the Corporation. For information on what items are contraband, see Contraband. Contraband obtained from non-Syndicate sources (Lavaland, etc.) is still illegal under this law. Personnel turning in contraband to Security of their own volition are exempt from this law.

For non-Syndicate derived poisons, see Possession of a Restricted Weapon/Item.

3-07 SL Theft.png Theft To steal restricted or dangerous items from either an area or one's person. Weapons, valuable objects, locked cargo crates, restricted access safes, or limited items such as (spacesuits and jetpacks) fall into this category. Unauthorized use or access of credits, from any source, in amounts between 251-1000 is considered Theft. Even if the contents are not taken, breaking into restricted access safes or locked cargo crates through any means is still considered Theft.

For theft of minor valuables, see Petty Theft.

3-08 SL Major Trespass.png Major Trespass Being in a restricted area without prior authorization. This includes Security areas, Command areas (including EVA), the Engine Room, Atmos, or Toxins Research.

  • If a prisoner requests an Execution or Cyborgization, they may be given one.
The Chief Engineer ransacks the RD's office and blows the borgs in an act of Grand Sabotage.
Code Image Crime Description Notes
4-00 Compromising Station Integrity.PNG Grand Sabotage To engage in maliciously destructive actions which endanger the crew or station. Releasing damaging/lethal viruses, hotwiring the engine, disabling the gravity generator, disabling power for a department or equivalently large portion of the station, subverting or destroying the AI, opening several holes in the station hull, setting fire to large areas, detonating multiple cyborgs, and activating high-yield explosives all count as Grand Sabotage. For lesser acts, see Sabotage. If death was caused, see Murder.
4-01 SL Manslaughter.png Manslaughter To cause death to a person via deliberate attack or excessive negligence, without any intent to kill. Any effort to prevent the resuscitation or cloning of the victim raises this to Murder. If any evidence of intent exists, see Murder.
4-02 Attempted Murder.PNG Attempted Murder To use excessive physical force with intention to cause death. Use of lethal weaponry such as firearms and explosives are considered as intent to murder. If aid was rendered to the victim by the perpetrator afterwards, this may actually be Manslaughter.
4-07 SL Grand Theft.png Grand Theft To steal items of high value or sensitive nature from either an area or one's person. Theft of cutting-edge technology, documents, and research samples. Examples include the nuke, hand teleporters, the Captain/Head of Security's Antique Laser, Captain/HoP level ID cards, mechas, and departmental door remotes. Unauthorized use or access of credits, from any source, in excess of 1,000 is considered Grand Theft.

Code Image Crime Description Notes
5-02 Murder.PNG Murder To deliberately and maliciously cause the death of another crewmember via direct or indirect means. Any effort to prevent the resuscitation or cloning of the victim is to be considered proof of Murder. Unauthorised executions are also considered Murder. If there is no evidence of intent, see Manslaughter.
5-05 SL Mutiny.png Mutiny To act individually, or as a group, to overthrow or subvert the established Chain of Command without lawful and legitimate cause. Mutiny is not as clear cut as it may seem, there may be a legitimate reason for their actions, such as their head of staff being utterly incompetent. Application of this crime should always be reviewed by a third party.

If the perpetrator's actions are for the betterment of Nanotrasen, consider a lesser sentence, pardon, or promotion.

Modifiers & Special Situations


Situation Description Notes Modifier
Aiding and Abetting To knowingly assist a criminal. Knowingly assisting a criminal is a crime. This includes but is not limited to: interfering with an arrest, stealing a prisoner in transit, breaking a prisoner out of the brig/prison, hiding a fugitive, and willingly rendering medical aid. If the aided prisoner ends up receiving no charges, apply five minutes to the offender. The original criminal's sentence; 5 minute minimum
Central Command Directive To be issued a pardon/sentence modification by Central Command. Central Command may waive sections of Space Law. Irrespective of the original crime, if a pardon or modification to a sentence is issued it is to be followed immediately. Immediate Release/Modification
Cooperation with Security Being helpful to the members of security, revealing things during questioning. Note that the information must be true in order for this modifier to apply. Prisoners giving false information to officers should not be awarded time off. 50% reduction
Hostile Brainwashing To be under the mind control of a Cult, Head Revolutionary, Vampire, or other mind-controlling circumstances. Any brainwashed person is to be detained non-lethally and deconverted or dethralled. Deconverted/dethralled persons are to be immediately pardoned of their crimes and released. Any contraband or dangerous items found at the time of deconversion are to be confiscated without punishment. Deconversion & Release
Immediate Threat to Prisoner A severe threat to a prisoner's person. The singularity eats something near the brig, an explosion goes off, etc. Officers must relocate the prisoner(s) to a safe location or otherwise immediately release them. Immediate Release/Relocation
Medical Attention A sick or injured prisoner requires medical aid. Prisoners are entitled to medical aid if injured or sick. In cases of self-harm, aid may be rendered at the discretion of Security. The timer continues to run during this time. Running Timer
Offense Against an Officer To batter, assault or kidnap an Officer. An Officer is defined as any member of Security, Command, or of Dignitary status (Magistrate, Blueshield, Representative). This modifier is specific to the charges of Battery, Assault, Aggravated Assault, and Kidnapping. +5 Minutes to Sentence
Parole To be released, under parole, before the allotted sentence for a crime is up. Several requirements must be met in order for parole to be granted.

See: Legal SOP, Parole Section

Parole Until Release
Refusal to Cooperate Non-cooperative behaviour While already detained inside the brig and awaiting a sentence, acting in a manner which makes security waste time processing you. Fleeing from processing also counts as refusal to cooperate. 50% addition
Repeat Offender To be brigged for the same offense more than once. Offenses must not be committed as part of one crime spree, and must be separate repeat offenses. Upon the second sentencing for the same crime, ten minutes is to be added. An additional ten minutes is to be added for every successive imprisonment. After two applications of this modifier (on their fourth same-crime offense), the perpetrator is to be permabrigged. 10 minute cumulative addition on 2nd/3rd offense

Permabrig on 4th offense.

Resisting Arrest To resist or impede an officer legally arresting or searching you. Non-combative action such as fleeing, blocking access, or slipping is considered resisting. Minor combative actions, such as repeated shoving or disarming, should be charged as 1-02 - Battery in addition to this modifier. Resisting Arrest can be applied independent of other offenses: even if no crime was committed, the modifier still applies. +0-5 Minutes to Sentence
Self Defence Acting to protect one's self, coworkers, or workplace. Persons intentionally getting involved in fights which occur in a department that isn't theirs is an act of vigilantism, not self-defence. Self-defence typically involves attempts to disarm or disengage, beating someone while they're down should be considered Assault unless the defender's life was in danger. Immediate Release
Surrender Willfully surrendering to Security. Coming to the brig, confessing what you've done, and taking the punishment. Getting arrested without a fuss is not surrender. 50% reduction
