GATO Corp Guide to Station Laws
OOC: (Remember use everything in this document to try and create or enhance possible roleplay scenarios and how characters can be roleplayed in relation to respect, or lack thereof, of laws. If you believe it is instead taking away from a scenario, talk it out in OOC/LOOC. If you find an issue with these, you are encouraged to start or participate in discussion over them.)
This document contains information pertaining to workplace laws, their application and standard procedures on GATO Corp owned space stations. Employees are expected to follow these laws and respect the Chain of Command. Security and Command also hold the additional responsibility of making sure they are being followed.
Chain of Command
The Captain holds responsibility for a station's operations during a shift, while the responsibility for the individual departments and their members is given to the other members of Command, also referred to as Heads. These are the Head of Security for Security, Head of Personnel for Service, Chief Medical Officer for Medical, Chief Engineer for Engineering, the Quartermaster for Cargo and the Research Director for Science.
Command members besides the Captain do not hold authority over other Heads or crew from departments outside their own. The same goes for any Security member over departments that are not Security.
Departments hold authority over their own activities, no department has to comply with the request of other departments that do not fall under the scope of one's duties, that are considered potentially harmful to others and to their discretion.
Should no Captain be on duty during a shift but someone is required to fill in the position, an Acting Captain can be assigned from between the present members of Command. This position gives them the same authority as a Captain, but the position is relinquished as soon as someone is assigned to the position proper. Democratic vote can be used, if need be, to decide who should hold the position and to revoke it should the majority of Command deem one unfit for the role.
CenterCom Commanders, while not part of the standard crew present on station, hold authority over the Captain. All station personnel must follow their orders.

Immediate evacuation of all untrained personnel.
Fire alarms to be used to control the hazard.
Atmospheric Technicians and Station Engineers are to remove the hazard.
Pump air back into the area when fixed. Ensure the damage is repaired.

All infected crew are to be isolated in Virology or Medbay.
Sterile masks/Internals and gloves are mandatory for medical personnel and recommended for crew.
Quarantine must be maintained until the outbreak is contained and resolved.
If the Emergency Shuttle is called, medical and security are to ensure no infected crew board the shuttle.
Meteor Storm
All crew to move to central parts of the station.
Engineers must employ, if available, either anti-meteor turrets or shields to protect the station and its personnel; along with repairs of any salvageable damage to the station.
Shuttle must be called if the station becomes unsalvageable.
On Security Activities
Arrest and actions are only to be taken if they are in active transgression of any laws, other actions require authorization from relevant authority (Captain or Heads). Suspicion without probable cause, as in there is no legitimate reason to take any action, is not, usually, reason enough to search or detain crew members.
An officer should apply a sentence to arrested people proportionate to the severity of the crime, the intent behind them, their number and it should be influenced by any applicable modifiers. Sentences reported here are suggestions, not hard rules.
Use of force should be applied carefully and proportionately to the threat law transgressions represent and unlawful applications can represent Abuse of Power. Always avoid force and taking a life whenever circumstances allow.
Minor Crimes
101 Resisting Arrest, to not cooperate with an officer who attempts a proper arrest.
102 Minor Contraband, to be in unauthorized possession of not dangerous contraband (drugs, chemicals, ect...).
103 Indecent Exposure, to be intentionally and publicly unclothed.

For Minor Crimes, consider verbal reprimands. If certain items, areas or actions were involved, also consider a ban from said item, area or action. Discuss bans with Heads.
Medium Crimes
201 Obstruction of Authority, to willfully interfere with Security ongoing activities or to go against a superior's authority without proper cause, that would cause damage to the crew or station.
202 Contraband, to distribute contraband without authorization (drugs, dangerous chemicals, items that would need an Head's or Command's approval. The Head of a different department can't approve in place of a relevant Head.).
203 Creating Workplace Hazards, to endanger the crew or station through negligent but not malicious behavior.

Capital Crimes apply to active threats to the station. Enemies should be put in brig or labor permanently, sent to CC or outright executed if they are believed to be too dangerous. Executions can only be sentenced by the Captain or, if no Captain is present, the Head of Security.
Crime Modifiers
- Dire Need, to perform unlawful activities due to the threat inaction would cause to the

Additional notes (tied to GS13)
Disruptive Behavior may contain many sorts of minor infractions, enforcement should be applied with reason. Taking a pen for a minute to write down something does not cause an actual disruption, neither does leaving a single O2 closet open or ignoring orders that would clearly cause harm to others or the station. Do not use this as an umbrella law to arrest or act against crew members who are doing no actual wrong, especially if the behavior is not being repeated or has caused no actual disruption.
Dereliction of Duty implies that, through willful inaction, damage was inflicted on the station or its personnel. Simply not doing anything can be considered, AT WORST, Disruptive Behavior. A doctor hanging by the bar is not Dereliction nor Disruption- It is Dereliction if they decide to not do their job when a medical emergency is happening.
In case of “skeleton crew”, as in there are very few people present and many of the roles are not covered, apply Dire Need generously. If, for example, someone really needs a chemical from Chemistry to do something related to their job, give them a pass for sneaking in to get it when no Medical Staff is present. This is all to favor roleplay after all.
GATO Industrial Concern is a corporation that operates in every sector known to all sapients. Agriculture, luxurious goods, R&D, pharmaceuticals- if it exists, we make it! Your current employment is upon a....:
GENERAL STATION
Lucky you! A General Station is one that does not specialize in any particular type of production, and profits off of whatever it can manage to export. You've heard us! So long as the crew can attain profitable goods and ship it off to Central Command, you're doing your job! Here at Gato, we understand how autonomy for stations can improve both the conditions of workers and stimulate both creativity and innovation. As a result, we have permitted you to have nearly free reign over your activities, far from bureaucracy and regulation. That's much better than Nanotrasen, right?
Gato's story begins around the beginning of the 22nd century. It was a truly hard time, indeed! Between the troublesome and expensive startup process of making a small business, and the crushing weight of bigger corporations, one would think that setting up a business was financial suicide. But our founder, ~~-`11@#\[ERROR\] , thought otherwise! So, GatoMart was founded, and we were instantly known for our creativity. Cute designs and friendly service built us the profit and recognition we needed to expand! And expand we did, taking on more and more corporations under our wing until we became the way we are today. Now, you can find Gato products all across the galaxy, ranging from simple things like cheese slices to more complex heavy artillery platforms! Isn't it grand to participate in maintaining such an awesome corporation like ours?
Many people have begun to circulate bad rumors that Gato is beginning to decline. Dear employees, as honest, loving, and trustworthy employers, we must deny those claims! The Syndicate does not pose much of a threat, and we have continued to profit despite the odds! So do not fear, neither your wages nor your employment are currently at risk. We would never think of doing something that would cause such anguish to the members of our beloved company! Perhaps it is time to go onto a more pleasant topic... how the corporate hierarchy works! At the bottom, we have common workers, above that are your Department Heads, and above that is your Captain! And your Captain answers to our Central Command teams, who are subordinate to the Head of Central Command, who reports to the Branch Manager, who answers to the Executive Officers, who answer to the CEO(Chief Executive Officer!), who answers to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors equally listens to the input of our most trusted shareholders, and the Head of the Board!
(GS13 SECTOR PRINT EXCLUSIVE SECTION) As an employee of our thirteenth General Station, you've chosen (or have been chosen) to become a pioneer in some of our R&D projects! GS13 has been located in a relatively peaceful area of one of the rim-systems, home to immensely rare mineral known as "Calorite", exclusive to this sector! You'll get a chance to make your name in history by helping us furthen our knowledge of this strange material. Additionally, please be aware of employee shortages: GS13's location makes it a challenge to properly deliver supplies, but GATO assures you - you have nothing to worry about!
Got it? Good! Now you understand all that you might need to know about Gato Industrial Concern!
With this crate, you will be able to protect the station's solar arrays from constant barrages of space sand. The set-up is simple. Drag around all the satellites in front of solar panel arrays, preferably in direction open to space (the best spot is near the solar tracker and outside of the grilles), as that is where the space sand will come from. It's advised to set down just 1 satellite for each solar array. Once you set the satellite down, you can activate it by flicking on the switch. The crate also provides you with an OPTIONAL computer board to keep track of your defence satellites. Voila!
