Idris-P "Indiana" / INDIANA

The Idris-P “Indiana” aims to explore and uncover new information across the galaxy. While its primary goal is that of exploration, it will explore opportunities as they arise; it even has a small, mobile racing team within its hangar.

1. All crew members must act in a civil and mature fashion. We are an intelligent and motivated crew that will not tolerate abusive language in any form. All members of the crew are judged and ranked by merit regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation.

2. We are primarily a research vessel and as such we don’t put as much weight on rank. However, the nature of the galaxy makes the Indiana a target – so during combat all crew are expected to respect the chain of command or face expulsion.

3. Any major discoveries uncovered as part of the Indiana’s crew or direct support fleet are considered to be discovered by the Indiana’s crew as a whole. The Captain has executive control over any decisions that need to be made as a result of any major discovery.

4. Financial rewards for any activity or discovery made by the Indiana, its crew and its support fleet during its operation are to be distributed by the Captain. His word is final in this regard. Default is ‘job-to-job’, with no guaranteed pay. Crewmen will be paid from any reward earned during operation once running and repair costs have been deducted. Pay will be based on rank, but the intention is to be generous with the percentages to all crew.

5. Crimes committed while aboard are taken seriously. Any crew member suspected of a crime will be immediately confined to the brig, pending a hearing. Evidence will be presented to at least two of the following: Captain, First Officer, Acting Captain, or Acting First Officer. If a crew member is judged as guilty, he or she will be handed a sentence fitting the crime. This will range from time in the brig, expulsion from the crew, immediate ejection with life support, or in extreme cases immediate execution. Attempted mutiny will always be punishable by death, unless the defendant was sufficiently coerced by another crew member. Crimes committed as an essential part of official operations (i.e. traversing restricted space) will not be punished.

6. As a member of the IOC, the Indiana is pledged to support any reasonable request for aid from another member.

7. Any crew member may request control of the helm for a barrel roll. This request is likely to be denied.

8. If the Captain is unavailable, control of the Indiana moves down the chain of command. This may be as a result of hostile action, or it may be prearranged. For example, it is the intention for there to be several Acting Captains for voyages outside the UTC+0:00 standard operating window. In all cases, crew payment and decisions surrounding major discoveries remain in the hands of the Indiana’s main Captain unless otherwise stated.
