17. When conducting trade, exploration or simply moving from A to B we will conduct ourselves as if we are always operating in a “High threat” environment. By operating this way we reduce our security threats and project our willingness and resolve to be successful and not a walkover by any hostile entity. When aggressive action is needed we will act violently and decisively with skill and controlled aggression. We do not stop until the threat is totally destroyed. However when a threat is judged too large we withdraw in good order and remain operational to carry on.

18. When we Fly

a. Don’t forget nothing.
b. Have your ship clean as a whistle, lasers scoured, ammo charged, ship refueled and be ready to fly at a minute’s warning.
c. When you’re on the fly, act the way you would if you was sneaking up on the Vanduul.
d. See the enemy first.
e. Tell the truth about what you see and what you do. Our Corporation depends on us for correct information. You can lie all you please when you tell others about the IVC, but don’t never lie to a fellow Pilot or Officer.
f. Don’t never take a chance you don’t have to.
g. When we’re on the fly we fly dispersed, far enough apart so one shot can’t go through two ships.
h. If we strike overwhelming unexpected danger we spread out , and get the hell out of there , regroup and act accordingly.
i. When we fly, we keep moving till we dock in safe territory, so as to give the enemy the least possible chance at us.
j. When we dock in strange locations, half the party stays on station while the other half gets on the booze.
k. If we take prisoners, disarm, search, restrain and blindfold them , give all the booty, documents and intel to Strut. He likes gold watch’s. All payoffs, bounty’s and ransoms go to IVC.
l. Don’t ever fly home the same way. Take a different route so you won’t be ambushed.
m. No matter whether we fly in big groups or little ones, each group should keep a scout ahead, on each flank, in the rear so the main body can’t be surprised and wiped out. If your by yourself you deserve to be caught. Never fly by yourself.
n. Every flight you’ll be told where to meet if surrounded by a superior force and have to bug out real fast.
o. If somebody’s trailing you, make a circle, come back onto your own tracks, and ambush the bastards that aim to ambush you.
p. Focus fire using fire commands from the Flight Commander, you will kill them faster.

19. When we are Planet-side:

a. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
b. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.
c. Have a plan.
d. Have another plan
e. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won’t work. And probably the second one too.
f. Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
g. Do not attend a gunfight with a Blaster whose caliber is smaller than your head.
h. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice.
i. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend.
j. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. Watch your back, and your mates back.
k. Flank when possible. Protect yours.
l. When in a fire fight always do what you have to – to always win. Winners are grinners.
m. If you are not shooting, you are already dead.
