Order Overwatch

The Order Overwatch Protectorate

[Image: Tu6ztEZ.png]


Section I. Introduction

The Order Protectorate by itself does not claim to have ownership of neutral systems such as Omicron Delta / Kappa and will not break local faction’s laws unless they are in direct violation with the Order’s own mission and morals. The Order - as an independent entity - has neither agenda nor any form of civil government to impose actual civil laws upon the residents of the Omicrons. We trust and rely instead on the self-determination and common sense of local inhabitants to govern themselves in the way those communities see fit.
The Order Protectorate is the region neighboring the Blood Dragon Shogunate from the galactic north-west, the Maltese Commonwealth from the north, the GMG sovereign space from the west, and the Corsair Empire in the galactic south. It encompasses several stars under full or partial control or influence of The Order. The intention is to safeguard the few civilians out in the lawless Omicron systems.

1.1. Definition of The Order Protectorate
The Order’s Overwatch Protectorate encompasses the following star systems. For specific information concerning entry and visas, please refer to The Order space regulations.

Controlled systems:
⧫ Omicron Epsilon
⧫ Omicron Mu

Partially Controlled systems:
⧫ Omicron Beta
⧫ Omicron Minor
⧫ Omicron Zeta

Contested:
⧫ Omicron Delta
⧫ Omicron Lost
⧫ Omicron Nu
⧫ Omicron Rho

Vested Interest:
⧫ House Space
⧫ Inverness
⧫ Kansas
⧫ Omega-48
⧫ Omega-55
⧫ Remaining Omicron Systems
⧫ Sigmas
⧫ Tohoku

Military Quarantine:
⧫ Omicron Iota
⧫ Omicron Major
⧫ Omicron Psi


1.2. The Order Overwatch
The Governing circle of The Order as a whole, individuals ranked as such are given responsibility in deciding gray areas, exceptions and permissions within confines of established regulations.

Grand Admiral Michal Golanski
Admiral Xander Parothia
Commodore William Storgen


Section II. Dissent

2.1 Contraband
Following commodities are restricted due to connotation with hostile organizations and alien forces:

⧫ APM Advanced Hardware
⧫ Slaves
⧫ The Order captives
⧫ Nomad materials:
⧫ All types of Artifacts, including Xeno Relics
⧫ Nomadic organic remains
⧫ Liquid Cardamine
⧫ Nomad Power and Fuel Cells
⧫ Ingenuus Power Cells
⧫ Azurite Gas

2.2. Trespassing
Access to The Order’s home systems (Omicron Epsilon and Mu) is restricted to all pilots except those permitted as exceptions by The Order Overwatch. This restriction is for the security and safety of the inhabitants of those systems. Violators, depending on the extent of their incursion, may face escort to the nearest exit, be arrested or have their vessel destroyed.
Authorized individuals and organizations are listed separately in the Order’s Protectorate visa program.

2.3. Unauthorized settlements
Modular base construction, without receiving approval from the Order, will be recognized as a hostile act. Any illegal installation will be targeted for immediate destruction. Permission can be acquired from the Order Overwatch on a case-by-case basis, with location, purpose, security measures, and IFF in mind.

Authorized Bases:
⧫ Damascus Research Station - belongs to the Order Overwatch and deployed in Akabat’s orbit
⧫ Kadesh Orbital Colony - belongs to Phoenix, located in the Omicron Zeta
⧫ Athens Stations - belongs to Freeport 11 Outworlders and is controlled by Phoenix
⧫ Delta Mining Corps. - Outworlders Iridium depot, belongs to Phoenix

2.4. Worship of Nomads and other extra-terrestrial beings
Organisations and individuals suspected of serving, worshiping, revering or otherwise glorifying alien entities or their artifacts are widely recognized as a threat to the survival of mankind. Those who follow these ‘heresies’ will be investigated, arrested, or otherwise dealt with.
Mainstream identified cults of noticeable space-borne presence are as following:

⧫ Aoi Iseijin - presumably remnants of the first Nomad War infected agents acting aggressively across the Sirius
⧫ The Commune - the cult of nomad sympathizers well-known due to the wild and aggressive behavior “in name of the Light”
⧫ The Oracles - Cult of Sirius, based in Omicron Alpha

2.5. Quarantine
The star systems bearing the following designations: Omicron Iota, Omicron Psi, and Omicron Major, are under military-enforced quarantine for the safety of the people of Sirius as a whole. Attempts to breach these systems may result in arrest and even outright extermination to prevent the Nomad spread.


Section III. Treason

3.1. Hostile factions
Individuals caught in trade, assistance and/or affiliated to Core PMC and Nomads, will be considered hostile targets and will be eliminated with lethal force by The Order.

3.2. Banned technology
Any ship equipped or carrying technology manufactured by the Core or derived from Nomads will be considered targets of opportunity to destroy by Order operatives. The following vessels and equipment will be confiscated or destroyed on sight:

⧫ Nomad Hybrid equipment (weapons, shields, cloaking devices et cetera)
⧫ APM equipment and ships
⧫ Auxesian equipment and ships
⧫ Nomad adapted weaponry

Worth noting, capital vessels not belonging to hostile organisations are universally accepted, provided the ships remain in approved zones.

3.3. Obstruction of duty
Interrupting Order vessels by following operatives despite being asked to change course, bribery, malicious use of disruptors or obstructing them from doing their mission in any form will be met with lethal force.

3.4. Assault
The assault (inc. piracy) of any non-hostile ship - not in violation of any other directives - will result in summary termination with lethal force by The Order.

3.5. Espionage
Attempts to gather intelligence on aspects of the Order that are classified, for a third party or otherwise, is a categorically illicit action and will result in summary execution. Examples of such actions are using classified information for personal gain or sharing intelligence to our enemies for their benefit.

Independent Miners Guild

10-10-2016, 12:11 AM

Independent Miners' Guild
Stellar Regulations



These stellar regulations have been written to:

  1. Reflect the ideals that we adhere to
  2. Protect the life and hard work of all Guildmembers
  3. Inform the public about the way the Guild operates



A. Areas of Applicability


  1. Tau Cluster:
    The Independent Miners' Guild maintains installations in most known star systems within the Tau cluster, and as such, these regulations apply to all of Tau space.

  2. Omega Cluster:
    The Independent Miners' Guild maintains numerous installations in the Omega systems. This sector of space faces numerous threats from pirates and terrorists alike. In the interests of peaceful and sustainable development, these regulations thus apply to all of Omega space.

  3. Elsewhere:
    An exception is noted for the system of Newcastle, in which the laws of the Kingdom of Bretonia take precedence over Guild regulations. In case of conflict, Bretonian law will overrule Guild regulations within Newcastle.



B. Illegal Actions & Contraband



1. Base Construction:
No unauthorized construction is allowed within a 20K radius of any IMG installation without prior permission from the Guild. This prohibition extends to other parts of space which are the property of the entire Guild, namely IMG-owned mining fields and Planet Pecos.

1.1 Modular Station obligations:
All installations in Areas of Applicability must provide docking to all mainline Guild ships (vessels tagged IMG|) and if requested allow inspection. (/shop password.) In special cases, installations may also be required to provide docking access for subgroups of the Guild. Those found in violation of this regulation may have their installations forcibly deconstructed.

1.2 Non-Guild refineries:
Installations using refineries to smelt ore mined from fields in Areas of Applicability must purchase a license from the Guild, priced at 3 000 000 Sirius Credits. The valued allies and partners of the IMG will be given leeway on this requirement on a case-by-case basis. Those found in violation of this regulation may have their installations forcibly deconstructed.

1.3 Guild Defense Contracts:
All installations in Areas of Applicability have the option to purchase protection by Guild ships. The fee will be negotiated starting from a minimum baseline of 3 000 000 Sirius Credits for one month.


2. Mining Permissions:
Only Guildmembers are permitted to mine in the deposits in Taus and the Omegas. Any other vessels and mining operations will be driven away, and their illegally-mined materials confiscated.


3. Enemy transports:
Cargo vessels belonging to organizations declared hostile by the IMG, caught in a system where there is an IMG base, will have their cargo confiscated.


4. Malta Embargo:
No transport or freighter class vessels filled with a significant amount of cargo are allowed to head to Omicron Alpha. The captain will be asked to turn around and sell the goods at an installation owned by or friendly to the Guild.


5. Human Trafficking:
In the past, thousands of slaves were transported to Omicron Alpha every month. As the IMG promotes equality and freedom, such acts are considered crimes against humanity. The Guild is firmly committed to preventing the reestablishment of slavery as an institution in Sirius. Therefore if a slaver is intercepted, they are obliged to free their captives at a Guild base. If this is not possible due to docking restrictions, IMG transports will be dispatched to rescue the slaves.


6. Cardamine:
Cardamine, an extremely addictive drug, is produced on Planet Malta and distributed by the Outcasts. Any vessel transporting any form of cardamine (except in quantities clearly for personal use) will be asked to jettison their cargo. The recovered cargo will be destroyed or returned to an IMG installation for use by rescued slaves who are dependent upon it.


7. Alien materials restriction:
Pilots that have been found with alien materials of any kind in their possession are to comply with inspection. If deemed necessary, Guildmembers are authorized to confiscate these materials, as they may pose a danger to all of humanity. Guild pilots on-scene are authorized and advised to apply their discretion to this regulation, including the dispensation of temporary exemptions.



Repeat offenders against these regulations will be declared enemies of the Guild.
