Introduction to Space Law

1. Space Law is defined as Nanotrasen's set corporate regulations that protect:

  • registered crew members
  • NT employees
  • cataloged visitors.

1.1 All that fall under one of these three categories must abide by Space Law while contracted by Nanotrasen as dictated by the Nanotrasen Board of Directors(NBD).

1.2 Any subjects that do not fall under one of these categories are NOT considered crew, and therefore, not protected by Space Law.

1.3 Nanotrasen Central Command, in any case, is above Space Law and can demand situations be handled at their behest.

((((Great cases of RP may excuse certain crimes. Adminhelp if you wish to intentionally break a law. Just remember, you may get fired if you can't cover it up.))))

Interpretation of the Law Documents.png

2. The roles on the station that heavily revolve around Space Law are roles like Security Officer, Detective, Internal Affairs Agent, Warden, Head of Security, and Magistrate. These are the protectors of the station that oversee that all departments are following Space Law, and in some cases Standard Operating Procedures. Roles like Warden, Head of Security, and Magistrate are key figures that are not only in charge of their department, but also ensuring the station is running smoothly and all procedures, laws, and crimes are being dealt with appropriately.

2.1 There are lots of factors to take into account when crimes are committed. One important one being intention. This can be the deciding factor between execution or perma, a prison sentence or a warning.

2.2 Space Law was established by the NTBD to help the crew, not hinder them.

2.2.a For example, if someone breaks into EVA while nuclear operatives are attacking the station, you shouldn't arrest them for Major Trespass.

2.3 It is important to know the difference between DETAINING a crew member and ARRESTING a crew member.

  • You DETAIN someone when you want to search them or you are processing them or ask them questions. In this case, they do not have charges or have committed any crimes.
  • You ARREST someone when they commit a crime or are charged with something. In this case, they have charges and/or have committed crimes.

2.3.a It is important you do these with haste and precision as not to waste anyone's time.

Multiple Charges

3. A suspect can only have one charge of any charge per offense.

3.a For example, stealing one item from one person and another item from another person is not two charges of Petty Theft, it is still One Charge of Petty Theft.

Crime Stacking

4. A suspect can not be charged with two crimes in the same horizontal row.

4.a For example, you can not charge a suspect for 100(Damage to Station Assets) and 200(Workplace Hazard) for one offense.

4.a Other crimes can be stacked like 102(Battery) and 105(Indecent Exposure), in this case their times are added together which would be a warning to ten minutes maximum.

Processing and Brigging Handcuffs.png

5. The procedure for processing and brigging people.

 5.a After detaining a suspect whether they are in cuffs or without cuffs, you will bring them into processing and buckle them to a chair.
 5.a.a Check their security records with a Sec-Hud Glasses or a Security Records Console if need be to see what they're wanted for.
 5.b Start to take off their things one by one, checking each and every item for any contraband. You will want to look for the items that they could of possibly used to commit said crime.
 5.b.a When a suspect is brought into processing, you have 10 minutes to figure out what they're there for. If they are in processing for more than 10 minutes with no charges, crimes, or evidence brought against them, they must be released.
 5.c Take any contraband and/or items CONFIRMED to be used for the crime committed into the evidence locker in Evidence Storage. You do not return these.
 5.d Bring the suspect into a cell and move them inside the open locker. You'll then want to strip them of all their items except their headset, jumpsuit, shoes, ID, and PDA.
 5.d.a Perma prisoner procedure is different as a suspect loses all their items and are given a prisoner jumpsuit and shoes as well as a prisoner ID and no PDA.
 5.e Close the locker and buckle them to the bed. You do not need to lock the locker, but you may.
 5.f Move outside of the cell to the brig timer, input: the time for their charges, their name EXACTLY as it is shown, and the charges they've committed.
 5.g Move back into the cell and uncuff them then leave. If they are hostile, you may want to use the mounted flash or stun baton them to retrieve your handcuffs. Another alternative is leaving them buckle-cuffed to the bed.

5.1 While in jail, prisoners may have their headsets revoked if they abuse it.

5.2 All Vox and Plasmamen prisoners must keep their internal tanks at all times. If you remove it, they will die. If you need to remove it, do so, and place it back with haste.

5.3 It is important to routinely check Permabrig, Solitary, and the Labor Camp areas if people have been sentenced there.

5.4 Security is required to bring perma prisoners to departures at shift end! You never know if there will be an escape attempt, so plan ahead.

5.5 Any suspect attempting to or escaping from perma may be executed at officer discretion.

5.6 If the cells become an unsafe environment for any reason you should let go Minor-Major prisoners in danger or, if able, move them to another cell until crew transfer or the damage is repaired.

5.6.a Exceptional Prisoners and above should be moved to another cell or kept in custody until the damage is repaired.

Legal Representation and Trials Gavel.png

6. Prisoners who are not charged with Capital Crimes or facing Permanent Imprisonment are not entitled to legal representation.

6.a Security is not required to provide or allow legal representation unless the Magistrate says otherwise. In their absence, IAA may so do.

6.1 The Legal Division, Internal Affairs Agents and Magistrate, are there to make sure civilians are properly sentenced and reasonable punishments are given for crimes.

6.1.a Internal Affairs Agents don't have any authority over the Brig, Security, Prisoners, or final sentencing. Attempting to do so will result in them being ignored or reported to their boss, the Magistrate.

6.2 If the IAA is asked to leave the brig by the Magistrate, Head of Security, Warden, or Captain due to being disruptive, they must do so until one of them allows them to return.

6.2.a Failing to follow this or continuing to be disruptive may result in the IAA's demotion. This can be done by asking permission from the Magistrate, if absent, then the Captain.

6.3 If multiple parties conflict in what sentence of a prisoner should be given, this chain of command should follow: Magistrate > Captain > Head of Security > Warden > Detective/Officer.

Use of Deadly Force File:Laser.png

7. As a part of the Security Team, you are one of the few onboard that are legally and officially allowed to be armed with weapons in order to protect the station and its crew from threats to Space Law. There will be many cases when one decision may be life or death. And then other situations where non-lethal weapons may be more effective in subduing the threat than lethal options. With this being the case, it is important to know what type of force you should use and when.

7.1 Use of Force is your friend as an officer. These are the things you should be thinking of when you go against a subject.

Threat Best Response Alternative Response Notes / Example Threat
Empty Hands Disable Stun N/A
Domestic Melee Weapon Disable Stun Held Stool, Baseball Bat, Toolbox, etc
Disabling Weapon, Firearm Incapacitate Stun, Disable Taser Gun, Energy Gun
Dangerous Melee Weapon Lethal, Incapacitate Stun, Disable Cult Weapons, Energy Sword, Chainsaw, etc
Dangerous Ranged Weapon Lethal Incapacitate, Stun, Disable Stechkin, Mechanical Firearms, SAW, AEGs
Non-Lethal Weapons Ineffective Lethal N/A Xenomorphs, Morphs, Cyborgs, and Hulks
Severe Personal Risk Lethal N/A Changelings, Wizards, Areas with Multiple Hostiles, Criminals in Hostile Areas (Space, Fire, Plasma Leaks, etc), Criminals in Possession of Large Explosives
Armed and Dangerous Lethal Incapacitate, if possible. Those in possession of stun weapons with reasonable suspicion they will use them. Unauthorized personnel in the armory fall into this category by default.
Uncontainable Lethal N/A These are EoCs and must be killed in order to protect the crew.

7.2 If lethal force is used against a target that is not an EoC, like a cultist, or thrall, you should revive and sentence/deconvert as soon as possible. Any petty criminals met with lethal force are to be given immediate medical attention when captured.

((((In general, if it is possible to capture personnel non-lethally you should. If you do not, expect to have to justify yourself to Internal Affairs to not get fired and to Administrators to not be Jobbanned.))))

Probable Cause File:Question Mark.jpg

8. Probable cause is an important thing. It is defined as the reasonable suspicion that someone has committed a crime or will commit a crime. It is almost equivalent to a warrant in a way. Having probable cause means you have suspicion that someone might be up to no good. With that being said, if you have probable cause on someone, it means you can search them no matter the alert level.

8.1 Here are a few ways you may get probable cause:

  • Having visible items on you that you wouldn't have normally without a valid explanation. (i.e. a civilian with an engineering headset)
  • A mindshielded crew member and AI (not rogue) reporting someone having committed a crime.
  • Being on alert level blue or higher.

8.2 Here are the two types of witnesses and why they're important.

  • Eye Witness: A non-mind shielded reporting a crime. These reports may be true, or they may be false. You can't really know. These don't give you probable cause, but you may want to investigate these if your gut tells you they might be telling the truth or multiple people are saying the same thing.
  • Direct Witness: A mind shielded crew member reporting a crime. These reports, SHOULD be true. Mindshielded personnel should not lie and are always looking to make sure space law is properly applied. These give you probable cause to search someone.

8.2.a It is important to note that personnel who provide false testimonies that lead to the death of a crew member (i.e. changeling) are to be charged with Murder or Attempted Murder depending on the state of the victim.

Enemies of the Corporation Emag.png

9. There will be suspects that are found to be working for the enemy of Nanotrasen, like the syndicate, or just in general want to overthrow Nanotrasen and its many stations.

9.1 The current enemies of Nanotrasen are seen in this list:

Known Enemies of the Corporation Verdict Notes
Syndicate Operative Perma-Brig Depending on the crimes they commit, they may be eligible for execution or parole. Still considered crew, they are usually blackmailed, forced, or do so of their own will.
Syndicate Nuke Operative Field Execution They are not considered crew. All crew are required by crew contract to assist in some way in exterminating this threat to the station.
Space Wizard Federation Field Execution They are not considered crew. All crew are required by crew contract to assist in some way in exterminating this threat to the station.
Changelings Field Execution They are not considered crew. They have killed the person they are impersonating before the shift and have taken their identity. Can revive themselves.
Shadowlings Field Execution They are not considered crew. They are disguised as crew. Can enthrall anyone, even those with mind shields. Surgery is the only way to de-thrall someone.
Vampires Perma-Brig/Field Execution They are considered crew. You want to perma-brig them as fast as possible. Once they obtain an unknown amount of blood, likely around 2 full humans, they will be able to mist. Once this occurs, they are uncontainable and to be executed on sight. They can thrall people; to stop this, you need to feed the thrall (50u) holy water. To test for vampirism, give (5u) holy water.
Xenos, Morphs, Demons, Revenants, Floor Cluwne, Cluwne, Abductors, Blob, Borers, Terror Spiders, Holo-Parasite, Field Execution/Discretion They are not crew. You want to kill these things on sight. The only exceptions are borers as some may be good, and you do not need to kill them. Cluwnes you kill to put them out of their misery.
Cultist Detain, Deconvert They are crew. Just brainwashed to believe in an evil demon god. If they pose a threat via use of force, you may lethal them. You must detain, revive, deconvert afterwards. You feed them (50u) holy water to deconvert. It is recommended confirmed cultist have their headset confiscated immediately upon detaining.
Revolutionaries Detain, Deconvert, Execute Head Revolutionaries They are crew. Just brainwashed to want to kill all department heads. If they pose a threat via use of force, you may lethal them. You must detain, revive, deconvert afterwards. You mindshield crew to deconvert them. If it doesn't seem to work, then you may execute them as they're a head revolutionary.

9.2 For the EoCs that do not fall under execution, or in other words are containable, and have not committed any Capital Crimes, they are to be put in permanent imprisonment.

9.2.a These are the following choices for permanent imprisonment:

  • Permabrig
  • Solitary
  • Labor Camp
  • Exile

9.2.b For the EoCs that willing turn themselves into security of their own accord, they are still to be kept in permanent imprisonment as long as their aren't impossible to contain.

9.3 If an EoC meats the requires for execution, it may be permitted at the whim of the Magistrate. Following that there is not one able to authorize such, the Captain may authorize it in their absence.

9.4 Is it important to note, being a space-proof species does not constitute being impossible to contain. They are still to be treated as dangerous enemies, but are also to be protected from retribution and provided for.

9.5 Parole can be offered to EoCs at the discretion of the Magistrate or Captain. All paroled EoCs are to be stripped of all their items and given basic civilian access.

9.5.a These are a few of the many things you should think about before offering parole:

  • Reoffending Chance
  • How Cooperative They Were
  • Did they turn themselves in?
  • What are their objectives?
  • Have they told you about any other EoCs?

Additional Clarifications Filingcabopen.png

10. These are the only legal means by which execution can be done:

10.a Other means are illegal unless requested by the prisoner. See Legal Standard Operating Procedure for more information regarding executions.

10.1 When the final sentence of someone due to combined charges exceed 60 minutes, their sentence is to be changed to permanent imprisonment.

10.2 As stated in Section 2.2, the point of Space Law is to protect the station and the crew, not hinder them.

308 File:SL Grand Trespass.png Grand Trespass Being in a restricted area without prior authorization. This includes Security areas, Command areas (including EVA), the Engine Room, Atmos, or Toxins Research. To enter an area one lacks authorized ID access for through either forcible entry or an existing opening. For non-restricted areas, see Trespass.
309 SL Assault of an Officer.png Assault of an Officer To use excessive physical force against a member of Command or Security without the apparent intent to kill them.

Code Image Crime Description Notes
400 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.
401 SL Manslaughter.png Manslaughter To cause death to a person via negligence or injury without apparent 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.
402 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.
407 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 Hand Teleporters, the Captain/Head of Security's Antique Laser, Captain/HoP level ID cards, and Mechs. For theft of less important property, see Theft or Minor Theft.
408 File:SL Conspiracy.png Conspiracy To plot or plan a crime of at least Exceptional level either as a group or individual. Planning to murder a member of the crew, organising attempts on causing massive damage to the station or crafting ideas to steal items of high value all count as Conspiracy. Do note that intent is required and reasonable evidence for planning must be present.

Capital Crimes


All of these crimes can result in Execution, Permanent Prison Time, Permanent Labor Camp Time, Exile or Cyborgization.

  • Only the Magistrate, Captain, Head of Security, and Warden can authorize a Permanent Sentence or Exile.
  • Only the Magistrate or Captain can authorize an Execution or Forced Cyborgization.
  • If a prisoner requests an Execution or Cyborgization, they may be given one.
  • Any prisoners that escape Permanent Imprisonment or Exile may be detained, executed or killed on sight at the discretion of Security.
  • Any prisoners that escape from an Execution sentence are to be killed on sight.
Code Image Crime Description Notes
502 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.
505 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, under certain circumstances, legally 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
Escape from Brig To flee successfully or unsuccessfully from a lawful sentence. Repeatedly damaging or otherwise destroying a cell enclosure is considered an escape attempt. Unless the prisoner was attempting to escape from an immediate threat, reset the timer to the original sentence or add five minutes (whichever is greater). Reset Timer or +5 minutes.
Hostile Brainwashing To be under the mind control of a Cult, Shadowling, 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. Officer 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
Parole To be released, under parole, before the allotted sentence for a crime is up. For non-Capital Crimes, Parole may be offered at the discretion of the Warden, Head of Security, Captain or Magistrate. For Capital Crimes, see Enemy of the Corporation. Parolees are to be kept under surveillance and, should they commit another crime, be charged with it on top of their original sentence. Breaking parole disqualifies any chance of future parole. Prisoners breaking parole from Capital Crimes are to be executed upon capture. Parole Until Release
Refusal to Cooperate Non-cooperative behaviour/repeated attempts to escape. While already detained inside the brig and awaiting a sentence, acting in a manner which makes security waste time processing you. Attempting to resist/fleeing from processing or imprisonment is refusal to cooperate. This modifier can result in Permanent Imprisonment if it brings the sentence above 60 minutes. 50% addition
Repeat Offender To be brigged for the same offense more than twice. Offenses must not be committed as part of one crime spree, and must be separate repeat offenses. Upon the third sentencing for the same crime, five minutes is to be added. An additional five minutes is to be added for every successive imprisonment. After three applications of this modifier (on their fifth same-crime offense), the perpetrator is to be permabrigged. 5 minute cumulative addition on 3rd offense.

Permabrig on 5th offense.

Self Defense 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-defense. Self-defense 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
