Revision as of 23:04, 31 October 2022

Foreword: Job SOP should not be a considered a checklist of conditions to fire someone over, and should not be rigidly followed to the letter in detriment of circumstances and context. As always, SOP can be malleable if the situation so requires, and the decision to punish a crewmember for breaching it ultimately falls onto the relevant Head of Staff, for Department Members, or Captain, for the Head of Staff.

This is the page for Standard Operating Procedure for Security.

For a list of regular SOP, or for other departments, see the main page for Standard Operating Procedure.

For information about deadly force, trials, etc, see Space Law.
