CHARTER OF RIPSAW STATION TECHNOLOGIES
Ratified 2952, Stanton System
PREAMBLE

We, the engineers, builders, operators, and defenders of Ripsaw Station Technologies, unite under one mission:

To design, construct, and maintain the most resilient, advanced, and strategically capable space stations and habitat modules in the known Verse.

Born in the frontier and tempered by the dangers of deep space, RST exists to push the limits of orbital engineering while upholding unbreakable standards of security, precision, and discipline.

ARTICLE I — ORGANIZATIONAL PURPOSE

Ripsaw Station Technologies (RST) is established to:

Construct orbital stations, surface outposts, and modular habitat systems for internal operations and contract clients.

Acquire, refine, and transport resources necessary for large-scale industrial engineering projects.

Provide infrastructure support to allied organizations, planetary authorities, colonial ventures, and frontier expeditions.

Defend construction sites, convoys, and RST personnel through a coordinated, militarized security framework.

Innovate, test, and deploy next-generation building methodologies and modular expansion technologies.

Maintain and upgrade all RST-built structures across the Verse.

RST operates in compliance with UEE law where required, and outside jurisdiction where necessary.

ARTICLE II — FOUNDING PRINCIPLES

RST is guided by the following principles:

1. Resilience Above All

Every station, module, corridor, and connector must endure the harshest conditions and the most determined threats.

2. Precision Through Force

RST combines brute industrial capability with meticulous engineering discipline.

3. Security Is Infrastructure

A structure that cannot defend itself is already lost. Every RST project incorporates integrated defensive considerations.

4. The Frontier Must Be Built

Progress requires boldness — RST will build where others refuse, from remote asteroid belts to war-torn systems.

5. Honor the Craft

Every member, from trainee to architect, upholds excellence in their tools, conduct, and workmanship.

ARTICLE III — MEMBERSHIP
Section 1 — Eligibility

Any pilot, engineer, miner, technician, builder, or defender with skill, discipline, and loyalty may apply for membership.

Section 2 — Initiation

All recruits begin as Trainee Engineers or Apprentice Ripsaws and must complete foundational training in:

Zero-G safety

Station module handling

Emergency reinforcement procedures

RST Code of Conduct

Mission protocols

Section 3 — Conduct Expectations

Members must demonstrate:

Professionalism

Compliance with RST directives

Protective behavior toward fellow Ripsaws

Zero tolerance for sabotage, theft, or dereliction of duty

Respect toward the chain of command

Violation results in disciplinary action, demotion, or removal.

ARTICLE IV — DIVISIONAL AUTHORITY

RST is structured into four primary divisions:

1. Ripsaw Construction Corps (RCC)

Responsible for all station and habitat builds.
Led by the Corps Foreman.

Duties:

Orbital frame assembly

Module installation

Structural reinforcement

Outpost deployment

Engineering oversight during emergencies

2. Hab-Mod Systems Division (HMSD)

Responsible for all modular fabrication and integration.
Led by the ModTech Commander.

Duties:

Habitat pod construction

Power and life-support installations

Storage, command, and utility module fabrication

Testing and certification

3. Extract & Supply Network (ESN)

Responsible for mining, salvage, refining, and material logistics.
Led by the Resource Marshal.

Duties:

Bulk ore, fuel, and salvage collection

Refining and distribution

High-capacity freight hauling

Supply chain continuity

4. Zero-G Security Operations (ZSO)

Responsible for safety, defense, and rapid response.
Led by the Security Captain.

Duties:

Escort and convoy protection

Anti-boarding defense

Security patrols

Quick-reaction combat teams

Site lockdown protocols

ARTICLE V — COMMAND STRUCTURE
The leadership hierarchy of RST shall be:

1. Chief Ripsaw Engineer (CRE)

Supreme authority. Defines long-range goals, approved projects, and operational doctrine.

2. Operations Director

Coordinates inter-division cooperation, schedules projects, allocates resources.

3. Station Architect-General

Leads design, innovation, blueprint approval, and engineering standards.

4. Division Commanders

Foreman, ModTech Commander, Resource Marshal, Security Captain.

5. Operational Specialists

Senior Constructors, Module Technicians, Resource Officers, Escort Pilots.

6. Apprentices & Recruits

Entry-level members in training.

ARTICLE VI — CODE OF OPERATION

RST follows these operational commitments:

1. No Structure Unfinished

RST does not abandon a build unless forced by catastrophic conditions.

2. No Crew Left Behind

RST recovery teams respond to all member distress calls.

3. Controlled Force

Security engages threats only to neutralize dangers and protect assets.

4. Material Efficiency

Collected resources must be used responsibly and tracked accurately.

5. Engineering Integrity

Every weld, bolt, conduit, and seal must meet or exceed RST certification.

ARTICLE VII — CONTRACTS & CLIENT RELATIONS

RST may accept contracts from:

Industrial corporations

Colonization initiatives

UEE-aligned groups

Independent orgs

Private clients requiring secure construction

All contracts undergo risk, material, and security assessment before acceptance.

RST reserves the right to decline any contract that endangers the org’s integrity, neutrality, or strategic interests.

ARTICLE VIII — AMENDMENTS

This charter may be amended by a 2/3 vote of:

Division Commanders

Operations Director

Chief Ripsaw Engineer

Amendments must be documented and distributed to all members.

ARTICLE IX — DISSOLUTION

Should RST ever disband, all stations, habitats, modules, and assets revert to a Central Engineering Trust, to ensure the legacy of Ripsaw-built structures endures across the Verse.

By this charter, Ripsaw Station Technologies stands as a fortress of industrial strength, engineering precision, and unbreakable resolve.
Every member pledges to cut through the void, build the unbuildable, and leave behind structures that will outlast stars.
