'''Nanotrasen Central Command''' (AKA: "CC" or "CentCom") refers to the [[Nanotrasen#Trurl|NAS Trurl]], a Nanotrasen Administrative Station in the system of Epsilon Eridani. It handles the management for all stations, fleets and ships within the system. It is also the main headquarters of NT's presence in the system, assigning tasks such as station goals to the crews of individual stations. Unlike [[Nanotrasen#Epsilon Eridani Holdings|research stations]], Central Command is under the direct control of the NT Navy. As the most important starbase in the system, it is heavily defended, and intruders are typically shot on sight. Its defences include long range BSA (bluespace artillery) cannons, close range combat drones, combat cyborgs, and many heavily armed military officers.


== What are CentCom Jobs? ==
Due to their vital role in the chain of command, [[Nanotrasen Central Command#Overview of Nanotrasen Officers|CentCom staff]] almost always travel armed, typically with pulse weapons, and special implants that vaporize their body if they are captured or killed. Central Command staff do not generally appear on the front lines of combat, but they are well trained and prepared for any situation which might put them in danger.


CentCom jobs are RP roles played exclusively by admins.  
NanoTrasen deny the use of Death Squads or Undercover Agents. Anyone slandering the name of NanoTrasen by implying they employ a "Death Squad" can expect to see themselves sued or their contract "modified".


They are a way for admins to act in the name of CentCom, and guide the round in a direction that will be more fun for players.
==Identification==


They are much like GM-controlled NPCs in an adventure game.
CentComm officers can be identified by being Mind Shielded, carrying CentComm ID, their uniforms and berets. The pulse weapon and backing of CC is generally also a good hint.


If their identity is in question, it can be verified by contacting CentComm by fax or command console. They should be treated as VIPs still, unless there is serious reason to doubt their veracity and an immediate threat to crew or station from them.


== Interaction With The Cyberiad Crew ==
Undercover agents identity is never confirmed. If they are caught, they are expected to die rather than give up their secrets, unless there is a pressing need to take control of the station.


* CentCom officers outrank absolutely everyone on station, no exceptions.
== Interaction With The Station Crew ==
* CentCom officers have almost unlimited IC authority, including the authority to change, modify, or even nullify space law and/or SOP for the current round.
* CentCom officers can be of any race, including some races not normally playable.
* CentCom officers prefer to interact with the rest of the crew through radio and faxes. Most would only visit the station if there is a serious problem that requires sorting out.
* CentCom officers usually, but not always, wear the standard uniform for their title.
* CentCom officers can be disobeyed by the crew, but, since they are the origin of the phrase "''Violation of this directive is grounds for termination of your contract and life''", doing so is usually a bad idea.


== Example CentCom Jobs ==
Central Command staff always outrank [[Nanotrasen#Epsilon Eridani Holdings|station]] [[Jobs|crew members]]. No exceptions. Even the [[Captain]] and [[Magistrate]] are subject to their authority.


{| class="wikitable" width="80%" style="background-color: #e6f8ff;"
CC officers have the authority to alter, or waive, [[Space Law]] / [[Standard Operating Procedure|SOP]] for the current shift.
 
There are CC officers of all species, including some species you won't see as normal crew. CC officers prefer to communicate through announcements, faxes, and radio.

If a Central Command official appears physically on the [[Nanotrasen#Epsilon Eridani Holdings|station]], then it is likely either because of misconduct by the station's command staff, or because of a special situation that needs careful handling.

If a CC officer is verified as a real agent, then they can be assumed to have an admin's permission to act as they are.
 
CC Staff exist in a cross of OOC and IC bounds. They are the enforcement arm (with the deathsquad) of CentComms orders. Because following orders from CentComm is part of "doing your job" for most roles, it can be considered an OOC offense to not properly follow their orders.
 
CC Officers may act akin to antags. They have deathsquads at their command to enforce the will of a hyper capatalist mega corporation bent on galactic economic domination. They are not the good guys - and they own your contract.
 
While ICly they have permission to kill as they wish, they should restrict this as per any admin event. Their equipment is OP enough that, except in extreme self defence, they should never need to kill anyone, and thus it is considered an admin removing a player from a round.
 
This is not to say this cannot happen. If you repeatedly insult, or attempt to strike, a Navy Officer, they may melt your face.

== Background ==
* IC-wise, CentCom ("CC" or "Central Command") is known as the NAS Trurl. The 'NAS' means 'Nanotrasen Administrative Station'. It handles the management/admin for all stations in the Epsilon Eradani system.
* So, it is the headquarters of NT's presence in the system.
* So, it is fortified much more heavily than the Cyberiad.
* So, everyone stationed on it is equipped with pulse weapons, mindshields, and special implants that vaporize them if they are killed or captured. Even the desk workers carry pulse pistols.
* So, while CentCom characters are not generally intended to see direct combat, they are exceptionally well prepared for it if it does happen. Attacking one is probably a spectacularly bad idea.

Nanotrasen Central Command (AKA: "CC" or "CentCom") refers to the NAS Trurl, a Nanotrasen Administrative Station in the system of Epsilon Eridani. It handles the management for all stations, fleets and ships within the system. It is also the main headquarters of NT's presence in the system, assigning tasks such as station goals to the crews of individual stations. Unlike research stations, Central Command is under the direct control of the NT Navy. As the most important starbase in the system, it is heavily defended, and intruders are typically shot on sight. Its defences include long range BSA (bluespace artillery) cannons, close range combat drones, combat cyborgs, and many heavily armed military officers.

Due to their vital role in the chain of command, CentCom staff almost always travel armed, typically with pulse weapons, and special implants that vaporize their body if they are captured or killed. Central Command staff do not generally appear on the front lines of combat, but they are well trained and prepared for any situation which might put them in danger.

NanoTrasen deny the use of Death Squads or Undercover Agents. Anyone slandering the name of NanoTrasen by implying they employ a "Death Squad" can expect to see themselves sued or their contract "modified".

Identification

CentComm officers can be identified by being Mind Shielded, carrying CentComm ID, their uniforms and berets. The pulse weapon and backing of CC is generally also a good hint.

If their identity is in question, it can be verified by contacting CentComm by fax or command console. They should be treated as VIPs still, unless there is serious reason to doubt their veracity and an immediate threat to crew or station from them.

Undercover agents identity is never confirmed. If they are caught, they are expected to die rather than give up their secrets, unless there is a pressing need to take control of the station.

Interaction With The Station Crew

Central Command staff always outrank station crew members. No exceptions. Even the Captain and Magistrate are subject to their authority.

CC officers have the authority to alter, or waive, Space Law / SOP for the current shift.

There are CC officers of all species, including some species you won't see as normal crew. CC officers prefer to communicate through announcements, faxes, and radio. They always take their job very seriously, and failure to obey their commands can result in the termination of one's contract and life.

If a Central Command official appears physically on the station, then it is likely either because of misconduct by the station's command staff, or because of a special situation that needs careful handling.


Gameplay / General Info

If a CC officer is verified as a real agent, then they can be assumed to have an admin's permission to act as they are.

CC Staff exist in a cross of OOC and IC bounds. They are the enforcement arm (with the deathsquad) of CentComms orders. Because following orders from CentComm is part of "doing your job" for most roles, it can be considered an OOC offense to not properly follow their orders.

CC Officers may act akin to antags. They have deathsquads at their command to enforce the will of a hyper capatalist mega corporation bent on galactic economic domination. They are not the good guys - and they own your contract.

While ICly they have permission to kill as they wish, they should restrict this as per any admin event. Their equipment is OP enough that, except in extreme self defence, they should never need to kill anyone, and thus it is considered an admin removing a player from a round.

This is not to say this cannot happen. If you repeatedly insult, or attempt to strike, a Navy Officer, they may melt your face.
