Sirius Research and Development/Ranking

Basic info

The very first rank is rookie. Once a rookie gets promoted, he/she may choose to go into one of the three divisions of ranks //this should be based upon, A. The type of roleplay you like. B. Your characters background and what they are best at. The three divisions are: Science; the Science division focuses on research and development, Fighting; the Fighting division focuses on protecting all members of Sirius and Development and enforces the Act of Secrecy, Commerce; the Commerce division deals with trade, and selling information and technology and sometimes developing technology out of the Science division.

There is a basic rank within each of the divisions. Scientist for Science, Mercenary for Fighting and Merchant for Commerce. These three ranks are allowed fewer ships than the ranks above them and these ranks are in place so that the members may prove themselves and have time to think about which focus they want to move to.

Each of the three divisions are split into three main focuses.

The Science division is split into: Biology; the Biology section focus on researching about life within Sirius and spend a lot of time investigating planets. Chemistry; the Chemistry section focus on researching and developing medicines and chemicals. Physics; the Physics section focus on researching about the atomic structure of things within Sirius and can often be found near space anomalies.

The Fighting division is split into: Escorting; the Escorting section focus on escorting the traders and scientists within Sirius Research and Development and preventing them from being harmed. Hunting; the Hunting section focus on seeking out those who have betrayed or caused harm to Sirius Research and Development, they often act in secrecy and are rarely seen in public, they are the main enforcers of the more serious violations of the Act of Secrecy. Patrolling; the Patrolling section focus on patrolling Sirius and making sure there is nothing preventing Sirius Research and Development from carrying out their goals, they also deal with enforcing the less serious violations of the Act of Secrecy.

The Commerce division is split into: Trading; the Trading section focus on financing Sirius Research and Development by trading goods throughout Sirius. Information; the Information section focus on gathering information and selling it on to other factions in exchange for Sirius Credits, they too often act in secret as the information they gather is not always legal, or wanted sold by the faction it belongs to. Technology; the Technology section focus on trading technology, often in the form of weapons, between faction in order to make a profit, they also often invent technology using research from the Science division and are the head section of the invention of weaponry. At the top of each of the divisions is an Overseer. They make sure their division is running smoothly and often end up doing the paperwork.

Above these ranks, at the top of the faction is the Sirius Research and Development Overseer (Head Overseer). He/she acts as the faction leader and makes the most important decisions.

Contributing

To contribute towards the faction, and thus make more research possible. Transfer Sirius Credits from your Neural account, the recipent being [SRD]MBRS (our station/juggernaut), then take guncam footage of this and post it in our private channel on the Neural Network (the message dump). This will then be recorded and count in your favour. Note, when a rank states that you must have contributed a certain amount, it means on top of what was required for previous ranks. Note, the 30% of the Commerce “Tax” counts as contributions.

Clearance

Clearance comes in four levels.A, B, C and D. D being the lowest and A being the highest. The sectional and basic ranks in each division start with Clearance level D, but they cannot upgrade their clearance level until they have at least reached the sectional rank. They must work hard and contribute towards the faction in order to access higher clearance levels. As your clearance level gets higher, you recieve more privileges and gain access to better stuff.

Early Promotions

Any Divisional Overseer may recommend a member within their own division for an early promotion/access to clearance. The member must have fufilled all the requirements except the minimum time served. They would do so fomally through the message dump with the member’s name, rank, clearance level, division, section, rank/clearance they are trying to gain and current time served towards the minimum time served. They will then take responsibility for the member’s actions until they have reached the minimum time served. NOTE: The Head Overseer may promote members at his own discreetion.
