Hale Aerospace Dynamics / HAD

The main focuses of our organization are Technology and Trade, and the facilitation thereof. Our Mission is to provide a group to join where:

• If you want to feel safe, you have the most loyal members in the black on your team.
• If you want danger, you have the best engines and systems to take you far and wide and feed your adrenaline requirements.
• If you want Role playing opportunities, we have science, exploration, trade negotiations, racing, bounty hunting…the sky isn’t the limit, the stars are.

We want to be inclusive rather than exclusive, a group that people would be proud to call their own, a home to small groups and large, loners and socialites alike.

____________________Code of Conduct____________________

We will be a large group of diverse individuals from many backgrounds, cultures, and upbringings. To ensure that intra-corporation conflict is kept to a minimum, the following tenets are expected of every member.

• Piracy, as defined by Cloud Imperium Games, will not be tolerated.
• Corporate property is not to be re-painted in any colors but the Corporation colors and logo unless called for during a specific mission.
• Always remember that you are the face of the Corporation; therefore, when dealing with non-members, unsportsmanlike conduct is deeply frowned upon. Name calling, taunting, gloating, and otherwise rubbing faces in the proverbial mud is bad not just for your individual image, but for the Corporation as a whole.
• We are a unified front as far as non-members are concerned. When dealing with conflict with another member, do not allow non-members to see it. Quietly bring the matter up to your chain of command if you can not solve the issue yourself, and loud displays and tantrums will not be tolerated.
• Support your Team, Division, and Corporation whenever you can. If you are free and another Team needs warm bodies for a mission, volunteer. If a member sends out an SOS, go to their rescue.
• If someone treats you poorly, do not answer in kind. The full might of the Corporation is behind each and every member, and as such there is no need to resort to baser solutions. This does NOT mean that you are not allowed to defend yourself. If attacked you are free to retaliate, using deadly force if needed, but the Corporation’s honor does not need defending, so if someone badmouths us as a whole, the best way to deal with it is to prove them wrong.
• If you see a problem, have a concern, issue, or grievance, bring it up to the chain of command. If your Manager can’t solve the problem, bring it up to your Senior, then your XO, then your Division Chair if necessary to get things taken care of. We are here for all of you, just as you are here for us.

____________________Division Mission Statements____________________

Science
Three tenets support the Science Division: Imagination, Innovation, and Industry. There are numerous disparate facets: refinement of raw materials, research and development of new products and product lines, mapping and exploration, and retrieval and reverse engineering of technology. In the end, though, SciDiv strives to push the boundaries, allowing every other division to succeed more efficiently.

Security
The purpose of the Security Division is to first be the Shield of the corporation, and if needed, to also be the Sword. All aspects of combat strategy are under the purview of SecDiv, from protection escort, to bounty hunting, to large scale pirate fleet assault, and from boots-on-the-ground marine firefights up to capital ship combat.

Commerce
The mission of the Commerce Division is to grease the wheels of the universe. All aspects of trade relations from supply route analysis to trade blockade running, and from raw material transport through finished product demonstration are the specialties of those in ComDiv. From peaceful systems to war torn worlds, the Commerce Division will be there, to increase company profits.

Marketing
The Marketing Division’s job is to have the most fun possible, and to make sure everyone knows about it. From bar hopping, to racing, to parties across the universe, the MrkDiv will be there spreading the word about Hale Aerospace.

____________________Division Example Missions____________________

Below are a list of actual and potential missions available to members of the Corporation. These missions will be led by members of the Division identified, however members from all Divisions are allowed and encouraged to participate. Cross-Division cooperation is essential to the growth, stability, and success of Hale Aerospace and its members.

Science
A few designated survey sectors have been identified that require investigation for profitability in materials, research, or connections. These survey missions range from peaceful (mapping of the Brenan Nebula), to tense (exploration of northern Xi’An space), to outright hostile (exploration and mapping of northern Vanduul space).

Security
Spaceborne missions will be plentiful for those that choose that path, from Protection Patrols within UEE space along the Vanduul border, to Escort Missions accompanying Commerce and/or Science Division vessels entering Vanduul or Xi’An space, as well as Deep Incursion recon missions to gather intel on ship numbers and movement deep within Vanduul or Pirate space.

Commerce
Supply Runs will run the gamut from peaceful to hostile, depending on the client and cargo in question, and may include pirate blockade running, inter-corporate informational gathering, and inter-species trade futures investigation as deemed necessary by the team on mission.

Marketing
Monthly or weekly mixers, as determined by interest, availability, and locations available, to provide a safe and fun place for anyone within or without the Corporation to gather, drink, chat, and possibly find an opportunity to talk (RP), join a pick-up mission, or compete in friendly contests and competition for trivial prizes and bragging rights.

____________________End of Employment Terms____________________

In all below cases, all company property must be returned within 48 hours of departure from the company or the former employee is assumed to have sold or otherwise destroyed the materials, and thus they will be reported stolen.

If an employee chooses to leave the company amicably at the end of their contracted time, they shall receive a bulk payment worth 3 months pay (UEC) as severance. During the following 3 months, the former employee may not be re-hired, unless the employee is willing to forfeit the balance of their remaining severance. After 3 months, employees of this category may be re-hired as normal, with previous rank within the company on the table for negotiation.

If an employee chooses to leave the company agreeably before the end of their contract, they shall receive a bulk payment of the balance of pay for the month in which they quit, as well as one month’s full pay as severance. These employees may not be hired for one month, after which time they may be hired back on as a Junior Associate, beholden to all rules and regulations of that rank.

If an employee is asked to leave the company under less than agreeable terms before the end of their contract, they shall receive a bulk payment of the balance due for that month’s pay and no severance. These former employees will be blacklisted in the Corporation, and not considered for rehire. Multiple character references from current employees would serve to facilitate a re-evaluation and interview process, if the desire to return is sincere.
