Просмотр кода страницы Космический Закон

= Юрисдикция =
Все суда, находящиеся на территории Nanotrasen или зарегистрированные в Nanotrasen, действуют в соответствии с сокращенным космическим законом. Весь экипаж, пассажиры и посетители на борту судна Nanotrasen, в пределах пространства Nanotrasen или работающие на Nanotrasen обязаны соблюдать этот закон. В большинстве случаев, здравого смысла вполне достаточно, чтобы не нарушать закон, детали которого имеют особое значение для службы безопасности Нью-Фронтира и администрации станции.
= Основные Права =
Космический Закон предоставляет следующие права всем сотрудникам Nanotrasen:

* Право свободы вероисповедания, право свободы слова и прессы, и право сотрудников Nanotrasen мирно собираться к Nanotrasen с петициями об удовлетворении жалоб.
* Право сотрудников на неприкосновенность их лиц, судов, бумаг и имущества от необоснованных обысков и арестов. Ордера должны выдаваться только при наличии достаточных оснований, подкрепленных доказательствами, и должны содержать конкретное описание места, и/или лица и/или объекта подлежащего обыску или аресту.
* Нельзя требовать ни чрезмерного залога, ни чрезмерных штрафов, ни жестоких и необычных наказаний.
* В исках по Космическому Закону, когда спорная сумма превышает 50.000 спесо, сохраняется право на суд присяжных.
* Во всех случаях преследования за преступления, караемые смертной казнью, обвиняемый обладает правом на скорый и публичный арбитражный суд, за исключением случаев, когда обвиняемый препятствует осуществлению правосудия.

= Власть Главы службы безопасности =
Глава службы безопасности сектора Фронтира является главным лицом космического закона во всем секторе и подчиняется непосредственно Центральному командованию. Глава службы безопасности возглавляет службу безопасности сектора Фронтира и отвечает за наем, увольнение, понижение в должности и продвижение по службе сотрудников службы безопасности, а также за выплату им жалования.

=== Заместители ===
Глава службы безопасности, а в его отсутствие любой член командования может назначить сотрудников Nanotrasen, которые будут действовать как служители закона. Чтобы назначить человека, вы должны убедиться, что он полностью знаком с космическим законодательством, знает, как действовать с пойманными преступниками, не имеет судимостей, и здоров душой и телом для выполнения задачи по отправлению правосудия в секторе.

Депутаты, присягнувшие на верность Nanotrasen и Космическому Закону, несут полную службу до освобождения от обязанностей, и возвращают Главе службы безопасности всё оборудование службы безопасности, выданное им, или приобретенное ими. Сотрудник службы безопасности не имеет права заниматься незаконными действиями ни при каких обстоятельствах, исключая случаи крайней необходимости, в целях сохранения своей или чьей-либо жизни. В противном случае он будет незамедлительно привлечен к ответственности за подобные правонарушения.

=== Контракты на поимку ===
Шериф, а в его отсутствие любой член командования станции, может объявлять о контракте, которые могут быть исполнены любыми зарегистрированные охотники за головами или добровольцы в пределах сектора. В контракте обязательно должно быть указано, какое преступление было совершено, кто является пострадавшей стороной, и разумная сумма-вознаграждение, которая может быть выплачен за счет средств станции. Собранные ранее суммы штрафов могут быть использованы для оплаты вознаграждения за контракт, но конфискованное имущество - нет.

=== Помилования ===
Глава служба безопасности, а в его отсутствие любой член командования, может помиловать сотрудников, обвиненных или осужденных за преступления, если сочтет, что это отвечает интересам сектора. Помилованию подлежат только мелкие и тяжкие преступления, но для получения разрешения на помилование за преступления, караемые смертной казнью, необходимо связаться с Центральным Командованием. Глава службы безопасности должен нести юридическую ответственность за преступные действия, совершенные теми, кого он помиловал. О каждом помиловании должно быть объявлено через консоль связи.

= Власть Капитана судна =
Капитан судна Nanotrasen - представитель Космического Закона на своём судне, в отсутствие Службы Безопасности, однако, Капитан лично несёт ответственность за свои действия перед экипажем своего судна и Службой Безопасности. Капитан имеет право казнить членов экипажа своего судна при справедливых обстоятельствах, а также нанимать, увольнять, понижать или повышать членов экипажа по своему усмотрению.

=== Право на казнь ===
Капитан судна Nanotrasen имеет право казнить членов экипажа без суда, при определённых обстоятельствах. Это значит, что Капитан имеет право ''лично'' казнить любого члена экипажа своего судна, кроме случаев если они уже взяты под стражу Службой безопасности. Эти обстоятельства, это угрозы:
* '''Капитану:''' Попытки или угрозы свергнуть Капитана судна, имея такую возможность, нелегальным путём.
* '''Командованию:''' Попытки или угрозы физически навредить Капитану или члену командования, в присутствии Капитана, имея такую возможность.
* '''Судну:''' Попытки или угрозы нанесения вреда (повреждений) судна, в присутствии Капитана, имея такую возможность.

При проведении казни, Служба безопасности должна быть подробно извещена о казни через факс, подробно указав причину казни, время, и всех свидетелей казни. Это должно быть сделано в кратчайшие сроки, иначе казнь будет считаться убийством.

= Правовая этика =
Адвокат несет первостепенную ответственность перед судом. Любое заявление, сделанное адвокатом, не может быть заведомо ложным или склонять суд к ошибке. Если адвокату стало известно, что сделанное ранее заявление больше не соответствует действительности или никогда не соответствовало действительности, он должен сообщить об этом суду как можно скорее.

У адвоката есть обязанности перед своим клиентом. Он должен действовать по поручению своего клиента, активно защищать его интересы и сохранять конфиденциальность всего, что сказал его клиент, при условии, что клиент не отказался от этой конфиденциальности. Доказательства, полученные в результате нарушения конфиденциальности клиента, не могут быть использованы в суде для осуждения человека или предъявления ему обвинения в совершении преступления. Обязанность соблюдать конфиденциальность сохраняется даже после того, как адвокат перестает представлять клиента.

Если существует конфликт между обязанностями адвоката перед судом и своим клиентом, то адвокат должен отказаться от участия в деле и прекратить представлять интересы клиента. Примером может служить ситуация, когда клиент признается адвокату в совершении преступления, а затем настаивает на том, чтобы адвокат сказал суду, что клиент невиновен.

= Обвинение =

== Правовой статус ==

=== Служба безопасности сектора Фронтира ===
Служба безопасности - основной правоохранительный орган сектора Фронтира.

Служба безопасности имеет право ''задержать'' лицо по подозрению в совершении преступления. Во время задержания, члена экипажа удерживают на месте, или перемещают в более безопасное место. По усмотрению офицера проводящего задержание, задержанный остается задержан в течение времени, необходимого службе безопасности для выяснения обстоятельств инцидента, и определения, проводить арест или нет. Задержанный может быть отпущен на месте, или арестован.

Служба безопасности имеет право арестовывать людей за совершение тяжких (уголовных) преступлений. Арест может произойти сразу после того, когда задержанному будут предъявлены обвинения в совершении преступления. Обвинения должны быть оглашены любым сотрудником службы безопасности или членом экипажа на свободе. Кроме того, шериф или, при его отсутствии, член командования станции может выдать ордер на арест, при наличии достаточных оснований на это, взяв на себя ''полную ответственность'' за законность ордера. При аресте преступник доставляется на охраняемое судно для допроса и дальнейших действий.

Служба безопасности имеет право владеть снаряжением 2-го класса, и имеют право применить летальную слиу при серьёзном тактическом превосходстве противника, или при угрозе жизни себе / окружающим, или при угрозе сектору целиком. Служба безопаности имеет право патрулировать весь сектор, и должны предотвращать любую нелегальную активность, угрозы по отношению к станции Фронтира, экипажу, сектору, Nanotrasen в целом.

Сотрудники Службы безопасности которые были обвинены за тяжкое (уголовное) преступление, или действовали неподобающе офицеру СБ должны быть уволены до позиции стандартного персонала Фронтира. (Авантюрист)

=== Синтетики ===
Все синтетические сущности, включая, но не ограничиваясь роботами, киборгами и дронами, выпущенные Nanotrasen или созданные сотрудниками Nanotrasen, или созданные на борту судна Nanotrasen считаются собственностью Nanotrasen, вне зависимости от их происхождеиня или мыслительных способностей. Повреждение и уничтожение синтетиков считается порчей имущества, и наказывается соответствующе.

=== Компаньоны ===
Все служебные животные, фамльяры и питомцы включая, выпущенные Nanotrasen или созданные сотрудниками Nanotrasen, или созданные на борту судна Nanotrasen считаются собственностью Nanotrasen, вне зависимости от их происхождеиня или мыслительных способностей. Повреждение и уничтожение компаньонов считается порчей имущества, и наказывается соответствующе.

=== Контрабанда ===
Любые взрывчатые вещества, включая, но не ограничиваясь химическими, биологическими, электромагнитными или термоядерными, когда на борту судна или на борту судна пристыкованного к судну Службы безопасности, или пристыкованного к станции Фронтира незаконны к хранению, обмену и применению сотрудниками Nanotrasen, за исключением случаев когда они хранятся для передачи Службе безопасности, или используются сотрудниками Службы безопасности для выполнения служебных обязанностей.

Любые наркотические вещества, включая, но не ограничиваясь космическими наркотиками, дизоксиэфедрином (метамфетамином), стимуляторами, или другими наркотическими веществами схожего действия незаконны к хранению, обмену и применению сотрудниками Nanotrasen, за исключением случаев, когда они были произведены лицензированным химиком, одобрены Командованием станции, и выданы пациенту по рецепту, или находятся на хранении у химика. Только тот, кому был выписан  рецепт, или лично химик имеет право хранить перечисленные вещества.

==== Классификация контрабанды ====
Контрабанда 1-го класса это любое летальное и нелетальное вооружение, не находящееся в других классах контрабанды. Контрабанда 1-го класса включает в себя, но не ограничивается: пороховым оружием, холодным оружием, лазерным и магическим оружием.

Контрабанда 1-го класса разрешена к покупке, хранению и применению членами экипажа, в законных целях. Любой предмет, не попадающий под классификацию контрабанды, если был использован для совершения тяжкого преступления классифицируется как контрабанда 1-го класса, и должно быть изъято навсегда.

Контрабанда 2-го класса включает в себя: любые взрывчатые вещества, не находящиеся в других классах контрабанды; предметы, которые могут быть использованы чтобы неразрушительно или без вторжения получить доступ к защищенным зонам Nanotrasen; стандартное оружие, снаряжение, униформа, ЭМИ, и транспорт Службы безопасности.

Контрабанда 2-го класса разрешена к использованию исключительно командованием и службой безопасности, или персоналом получившим разрешение Командования станции. Иначе, незаконное владение, хранение, применение контрабанды 2-го класса это преступление.

Контрабанда 3-го класса включает в себя, но не ограничивается: такая взрывчатка как:

* скрытая (мина, горячая картошка, взрывная ручка);
* с таймером, или с возможностью удаленной активации (c4);
* особо разрушительная (ядерная бомба, бомба синдиката).

Так же, включает в себя любые технологии вражеских корпораций (такие как аплинк синдиката, телекристаллы, ID-карты, ключи шифрования, генераторы помех, суда). Не зарегестрированное службой безопасности автоматическое или крупнокалиберное оружие (c-20r, L6-Saw, пиратская пушка). Скафандры вражеских корпораций и скафандры не принадлежащие корпорации, или особые/засекреченные скафандры. Суда с чёрного рынка. Голопаразиты (или аналог).

Никто из членов экипажа не должен иметь при себе Контрабанду 3-го класса. Автоматическое или крупнокалиберное оружие найденное в арсенале Службы безопасности считается Контрабандой 2-го класса. Владение, хранение или применение контрабанды 3-го класса считается тяжким (уголовным) преступлением. С целью удаления голопаразита, Служба безопасности имеет право убить владельца голопаразита летальной инъекцией, сразу же применяя все необходимые меры для реанимации и лечения убитого.

== Warrants, Stops, Searches and Seizures ==

=== Searches ===
A personnel search is a seizure of the objects in a person's vessel, backpack, hands, coat, belt and pockets. If any contraband is found during a search the officer may choose to further the search into a detainment or simply confiscate the restricted items. After the search is conducted all legal items are to be returned to the person.

The right of the employees to be secure in their persons, vessels, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized. Potential grievances and suspicions of unlawful proceedings and maltreatment are to be directed up the Chain of Command and resolved judicially, enlisting legal counsel, if available.

=== Warrants ===
A warrant is a signed document stating security may search a specific person or place, and must contain things to be seized.. A warrant regarding a personnel requested by an officer may be approved by the Station Representative, Sheriff or the Captain of the person being searched. A Captain may give permission for security personnel to search their ship, but must sign a warrant if they wish to authorize security personnel to search their crewmembers. An authorized person may only sign a warrant if they are satisfied, on the information put before them, that there is a reasonable basis that the execution of the warrant would assist in the investigation of a crime. The authorized person signing the warrant takes full responsibility that the warrant is lawful, and may be subject to demotion or a pecuniary penalty if the power is abused. The process of physically writing a warrant may be disregarded if the appropriate command member accompanies the officers throughout their search.

=== Reasonable Basis ===
Security personnel have the power to stop and search personnel without a warrant if they suspect, on reasonable grounds, that the person is carrying stolen items, class 2 or class 3 contraband, or any item recently used in the commission of a crime. This power only extends to the search of vessels if the security personnel suspect, on a reasonable basis, that a crime is ''actively'' being committed aboard a vessel, otherwise a warrant or alert level is required. (Example: a known pirate ship cannot be stopped on the mere suspicion of carrying goods recently relieved of their prior owners.)

== Maritime Legal Status ==

=== Foreign Vessels ===
''None of the below provisions, or any other provisions of Space Law, apply to vessels under the flag of an [[Antagonist|organisation]] at war with Nanotrasen, parties that have attacked a Nanotrasen facility or vessels engaged in blatant criminal activity of a capital degree, except in cases where they are operating within Nanotrasen space.''

The station is encouraged to allow non-hostile visitors permission to dock or otherwise come aboard during normal operating conditions. They may be searched upon arrival and escorted at the discretion of the NFSD. The visitor may request asylum, which is at a Station Representative's discretion to decide, and they will be given as much or as little access throughout the vessel as a Station Representative deems fit.

All visitors aboard a Nanotrasen vessel are subject to Space Law, and should a visitor break the law and flee aboard their own vessel, The NFSD is authorized to board it in pursuit. Nanotrasen employees aboard a foreign vessel are subject to their laws and policy.

If an individual commits a crime aboard a Nanotrasen station and then flees to an unaffiliated party's vessel, the Captain of that vessel is authorized to grant or deny asylum. Foreign vessels' sovereignty must be observed and any decisions of their command to deny or restrict entry are to be respected.

=== Merchant Vessels ===
Merchant vessels are defined as those, regardless of origin, that are unarmed and operating in space for the intents and purposes of conducting lawful trade. An unarmed vessel should not be attacked without warning. It can be fired on only if it repeatedly fails to stop when ordered to do so or resists being boarded by an attacking vessel. The armed vessel may only intend to search for contraband (such as war materials, Nanotrasen contraband, etc.) when stopping a merchant vessel. The ship may be allowed to leave, if not affiliated with enemies of Nanotrasen, after removal of any contraband.

However, adequate steps must be taken to ensure the safety of the crew. In cases where a merchant vessel's crew is harmed in an act of boarding, efforts must be made to rescue, resuscitate, and clone them. This would usually mean taking the crew on board and transporting them to a safe port. This can only be done if they can be expected to reach safety by themselves and have sufficient supplies and navigational equipment to do so.

In essence, a non-hostile vessel that surrenders, cannot be killed, left for stranded, completely bankrupt, or otherwise.  The safety of non-hostile merchant vessels is to be guaranteed by all parties.  All vessels being boarded in a hostile manner must first negotiate before any hostile actions.

=== Belligerent Vessels ===
A belligerent vessel, or one operating under the banner of an enemy of Nanotrasen, is not protected by the same cruiser rules as merchant vessels. These banners include but are not limited to, pirates, syndicate, wizards federation, or any imminently dangerous alien species, and these vessels would be classified as belligerent if within Nanotrasen space and conducting hostile operations.

Anything involving the unlawful assault of Nanotrasen employees, property, or vessels will result in a vessel being classified as belligerent, and the NSFD are authorized to use full force to stop the vessel as required.

== [[Trial]] ==
In criminal prosecution, a trial cannot be requested when only Misdemeanor charges are being pressed. The defendant may request a trial when Felony charges are being pressed but are called to order '''at the discretion and ability''' of the potential Judge. If the defendant is accused of a Capital Crime, they are entitled to trial. Legal counsel ''is not required'' to stand trial.

The format of the trial is to be an '''Arbitration court hearing''', presided by a Judge that is typically a Station Representative or Sheriff. Should no Frontier Command Staff be available but a trial needs to be held, it is permissible to grant a temporary promotion to the position of '''Head of Courtroom''', with the access and privileges equivalent to Sheriff, who shall preside over the trial and shall be granted this commission for the time and purpose of holding the trial.

In this hearing, the Judge directly examines the defendant and a representative of the prosecution best familiar with the case to present their case on why the defendant should be cleared or convicted of their charges. The trial is expected to last '''''no longer than 20 minutes''''', with either party not being allowed longer than 6 minutes to present their case.

Extensions may only be requested with reason and are granted at the discretion of the Judge. Conflict of Interest may only be applied when the Judge can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to obtain strictly ''personal'' gain from either verdict or when the Prosecutor may be proven such gain from a Not Guilty verdict.

In the event that the defendant is held in contempt of court, the necessity of a trial may be waived and judgement may be passed by the Judge without a hearing.

Trials may also be held for civil disputes, requested by any crewman against any other, preferably presided by the Sheriff or any Station Representative. In cases where the civil dispute is in regards to a total value of 50,000 Spesos or greater a trial by jury must be utilized.

== Pressing Charges ==
A person may be charged with a crime if and when it can be argued beyond a reasonable doubt to have committed an act in the nature and fashion described by a particular criminal charge.

Multiple counts of one crime can be charged. For illegal actions against the station abroad, each incident separated by a reasonable period of inaction, lawful conduct, or another crime is interpreted as one count. For crimes directly bereaving a person (violent acts, theft of personal property etc.), the same applies in addition to ''each'' victim being one count.

Charges that are a direct escalation of one another in nature cannot be simultaneously held against the perpetrator if they pertain to the same incident ''and'' the same victim/item (if applicable). Then, only the most severe of these charges apply.

= Sentencing =
In sentencing a crime, it is recommended to defer to the Bailiff or Sheriff, however, any NFSD Deputy is authorized to pass a sentence. If ''none of either'' are available, any Station Representative may pass a sentence.

The precise sentence is determined by the person passing the sentence and is at their discretion, though may be overruled by one higher up Chain of Command. They are encouraged to use common sense in weighing the punishment against the severity of each charge separately as it is being applied, taking into account the broader circumstances of the crime and the modifiers further below.

* In setting punishment, the charge with the highest minimum punishment is applied first (primary charge) by sentencing brig time anywhere from minimum to maximum of the primary charge, then every other charge sentenced applies at the minimum for each charge. (compounded charge).
* Punishments outside of brig time (mind break, mandatory counsel) cannot be applied partially, save for Demotion. If listed as Minimum, they must be applied, whether primary or compounded. If listed as Maximum, it is applied at discretion.
* If the total brig sentence would exceed 45 minutes, the NFSD is ''fully authorized and recommended'' to upgrade the sentence to Extended Confinement, '''''regardless of any punishment limits.'''''
* Once the sentence commences, it must be concluded at or before the agreed time. The convict may be held responsible for any crime they commit while serving their sentence.

== Sentence Modifiers ==
When applying charges, certain circumstances can apply, altering the severity of the punishment. In the event such circumstances would result in release or Extended Confinement, the sentencing should be deferred to the ranking member of the NFSD if at all possible.

=== Principals and Accessories to a Crime ===
All of the following persons may be charged for the commission of a crime. The degree of involvement is a sentencing consideration.

* '''Principal:''' Has committed a crime.
* '''Solicitation:''' Encouraging, bribing, requesting, or instructing someone to commit a crime, with the intent that the person being solicited commit the crime.
* '''Accessory:''' Assisting in the commission of a crime, without participating in the crime itself, knowing that a crime will be, has been, or is being committed.
* '''Attempts:''' Attempting to commit a crime, with the intent to carry out that crime.
* '''Conspiracy:''' Planning to commit a crime, with the intent to eventually carry out that crime

=== Self Defense ===
A person is not guilty of an offence if they reasonably believed that the offending was necessary for the following:

* To protect their life, or the life of others.
* To emancipate themselves, or another person, from unlawful imprisonment.
* To protect their property, or that of another person.
* To prevent criminal trespass onto their vessel.

A person is not entitled to rely on self-defense of property when the criminal charge is murder. If an accused raises self-defense, the prosecution must disprove the elements of self-defense beyond reasonable doubt in order to convict the accused.

If a person honestly believes their acts are necessary for self-defense but the belief is not reasonable in the circumstances as the accused knew them at the time, then it acts as a mitigating factor in sentencing or lowers a murder conviction to a manslaughter conviction.

=== Necessity ===
A person is not guilty of an offence if they reasonably believed the offending was necessary in order to avert a greater and imminent peril. This peril must have affected the accused or someone in their charge, they must have honestly believed that their offending was necessary in order to avoid that peril and the offending must not be out of proportion to the peril avoided.

=== Duress ===
A person is not guilty of an offence if they were coerced into the commission of the offence, fearing an immediate apprehension of death or serious injury from the person coercing them.

=== Aggravating Factors ===
These factors may be used to increase brig time, depending on the actions of the offender.

* '''Recidivism:''' To be arrested, charged and convicted for criminal behavior multiple times within one shift.
* '''Aggravation:''' To commit a crime with reckless abandon, clear signs of lack of regret or remorse or with particularly severe implications for the community.

Recidivism may be punished by significantly increasing overall brig time. Aggravation warrants more severe punishment on every charge where it applies.

=== Extenuating Factors ===
These factors may be used to reduce brig time, depending on the actions of the offender.

* '''Cooperation:''' Sharing actionable intelligence with the authorities, turning oneself in, confessing to crime. An early guilty plea entitles an offender to a mandatory 25% discount to their sentence.
* '''Good Behavior:''' Peaceful compliance with the NFSD, clear signs of remorse concerning committed crime, peaceful conduct in brig.

=== Fines ===
The NFSD is fully authorized to post fines for any damages caused to Nanotrasen property or employees. Should a total sentence be 20 minutes or less, the Bailiff or Sheriff may authorize a fine to be posted instead with an exchange rate of 2,000 Spesos per 1 minute of sentence. Any sentence exceeding 20 minutes may not used to give a fine. If fines are paid in this manner, no jail time should be utilized. Fines and jail time cannot be split, the sentence must either be a fine or jail time.

=== Seizure of Assets ===
The NFSD may search and seize property, belongings, papers, objects, assets, and vessels for the purpose of making victims of a crime whole or to pay for an outstanding fine or used to pay bail bonds. The total value of assets seized, if exceeding the amount necessary to make a victim of a crime whole, must be returned to the original owner.

=== Community Service ===
At the behest of the Bailiff or Sheriff, a prisoner may be granted community service as a replacement for brig time. This community service will be unpaid, overseen by a parole officer, and may only be granted for non-violent offenders.

== Treatment Of Prisoners ==
Prisoners still have certain rights that must be upheld by law enforcement:

* Prisoners must be granted adequate medical care. They should also be proffered counseling if available.
* Prisoners must be provided access to the common radio channel '''so long as it is not abused'''. Department encryption is not allowed for prisoners to have.
* Prisoners must be granted clothing, food, water, shelter and safety. If the brig is no longer safe, confinement must be established in another location.
* Prisoners may request legal counsel, if available.
* Prisoners should be granted freedom of movement unless there is an undue risk to life and limb. Similarly, any prisoners held in Extended Confinement should not be confined to a solitary cell unless they pose a risk to life and limb.
* Prisoners sentenced to execution via a trial may request the method of execution. These options are limited to spacing, electrocution, firing squad, or lethal injection.

=== Extended Confinement ===
Prisoners in Extended Confinement have certain rights but also more firm restrictions that must be upheld by law enforcement:

* Prisoners who repeatedly cause damage to their holding cell, to a degree that makes it unreasonable to hold prisoners and in an attempt to escape, may be executed without trial.
* Prisoners who repeatedly cause significant bodily harm to their fellow inmates may be executed without trial.
* Prisoners may request or may otherwise be given parole or bail without prompt by the Bailiff or Sheriff.
* Prisoners are allowed visitors but only one individual can visit them every 20 minutes, a reason must be provided for the visit and the visitor must consent to a search of their belongings.

= Criminal Charges =

== Punishments ==

=== Capital Punishments ===

* '''Execution:''' Termination of life. Whenever an execution is performed, regardless of trial or not, a communications console announcement must be made detailing who was executed and why they were executed.
* '''Exfiltration:''' Immediate retrieval of a High-Value Target via a Central Command dispatched prisoner transport.
* '''Decorporealization:''' Stripping of the convict’s mind off their own body into a more restrictive, less capable form.

= Vessel Operation =
Vessels operating near, to, and from Frontier Station, or are within Nanotrasen space are beholden the requirements below, regardless of origin.

=== Bluespace Anomalies ===
If the NFSD is present at a bluespace event, they may enforce a no-fly-zone up to a maximum of 300 meters for the safety of employees operating in the region. This power may only be enforced if the bluespace object is deemed as dangerous, a high value target, or people intend to use the object or contents therein for unlawful purposes.

=== Dangerous Entities ===
Artifacts, Xenomorphs, or any dangerous aliens are not permitted on the station without first properly studying them and insuring they will not cause a threat to the station, and must be cleared by the Station Representative. Artifacts must remain in containment boxes at all times when inside the station. Any damage caused by the entity is the direct responsibility of the individual who transported it to Frontier.

=== Declared Salvage ===
Any vessel 300 meters away or further from the station, which has no active crew and is unresponsive on radio signals, may be claimed as legitimate salvage after multiple attempts are made and a period of 20 minutes waiting since the first attempted call. Vessels inside of 300 meters which meet these criteria may be moved out to 300 meters and salvage operation may begin.

=== Belligerent Vessels ===
All vessels operating within 500 meters of the station are required to have their IFF enabled. Failure to enable IFF after being ordered to do so may result in being classified as belligerent. Docking to another vessel without first gaining permission from them may be seen as a belligerent action. Failure to comply with the NFSD inside a declared no-fly-zone may be seen as a belligerent action.

== Docking Rules ==

* Ships may not dock in excess of 10 minutes, although exceptions may be made at the behest of the Station Representative. A 10,000 Speso fine or forcible undocking may be used as punishment.
* Speeds within 200 meters of the station must be kept slow, such as to reduce EVA crews being marooned in space.
* Obstructing ports or safe space travel within 200 meters of the station is strictly forbidden, and may result in a reckless operation charge.

=== Docking Procedure ===
When a Space Traffic Controller (STC) is available, the following procedures will be observed by all vessels operating near the station. When contacting the STC, be sure to include the vessel's designation, such as LV-624, in your callout so the STC is aware of who is speaking to them. This communication should be handled over the Traffic Control radio, activated by using :d

==== Approach ====

* Hold position outside of 100 meters from the station and contact the STC for instructions and permission to dock, providing your intentions once aboard the station for docking context.
* Once granted permission, proceed to the dock you have been allotted as instructed by the STC.
* Slowly proceed to the docks, making aware not to strike any other ships or EVA crews and acquire a good docking contact.

==== Departure ====

* Declare departure and proceed under own advisement, clearing out to 200 meters from the station.
* OR
* Contact the STC request for departure.
* Proceed on course for the heading the STC gave you, staying clear of any possible collisions, and clearing out to 200 meters from the station.
