RANKINGS IN OUR FLEET

• All will be given the titles of Citizen upon entering the Sons of Tarsonis. R1 = Citizen.
• The remaining ranks are reserved for our military forces. R2-6 = Military.

Citizens and Military officials will both have equal opportunity to obtain Positions in our Government— As titles.
So that no matter how you play your part in our Fleet or Community, there will always be room for advancement, and we will reward proactive players.

Military

Comprised of a strong chain of command, we expect our military personnel to take a serious and active role in their work. A pride that comes with flying with your wingman and returning home to the Capital ship with your haul. With that, the Sons of Tarsonis will become a feared name among the stars.

The Tribunal

While we value freedom without any law there is chaos, and a society cannot function in that state.

Our Tribunal will be made up of our highest ranking and most trusted Officers—- Just as it was on our homeworld. In the spirit of keeping your rights in mind the Tribunal is set up to review cases where one of our Citizens has been wronged, be it by a not-so-upstanding Citizen of ours or an entirely different faction. Rest assured, they will do everything in their power to keep the peace, and right any wrongs that have been done.

Strength of Spirit

Citizens of Tarsonis were warriors, and we intend to carry that warrior spirit into this new cluster of systems. We will focus strongly on our military assets, with ample training going out to all who apply. Our tactics and fleet composition will make us the most formidable military force in the game. We will be a band of brothers in this Universe.
These trained forces will be used to protect and serve our civilian population— Escorting our merchants, patrolling our borders, and engaging in missions on a day to day basis. We will recruit and train you to be the best of the best.

General Rules for our Populace.

• —Honor any and all of your contracts—. Regardless of what your contract is— Be it an escort mission or an infiltration mission, always keep your word. Its what we do.
• We honor freedom in all things, speech among them. We do however draw the line when your freedom crosses over into unacceptable forms of communication. No one should endure another individuals stupidity. We will not.
• Be as professional as possible, whether you plan to steal cargo or turn in a criminal. (Not much a rule, more of a guideline.)
• If someone is troubling you, we urge you to seek out superiors to help handle the situation. Anyone assaulting you is in turn assaulting the Sons of Tarsonis as a whole. And we will be there to stand by your side.

Military Protocol
Upon joining our military you forfeit some of your freedoms. We will always value your word, but in order to get things done there must be a chain of command.

• You will obey your superiors at all times while in our force. They have put in the work, or shown exceptional skill at command. They cannot and will not last long is a leadership position if they show otherwise.
• If you are a recruit you will most likely be assigned to crew any of our larger ships. Not everyone will want to be a pilot, and we understand that. But for those that do, you have to put in your time as well. (In a situation where all ships are already crewed you can put forth a recommendation to be assigned a pilot position)
• Command Chains will be set in place upon reaching a set population. As it stands, we will follow military procedure.
• Military will be paid by job, paid by rank, and through continuing service— promoted.

Merchant Sector

The merchant sector, lifeblood of all civilizations.

• We will have multiple marketing overseers, and they will work hand in hand with our officers, ensuring that your cargo will safely be moved from Point A to Point B.
• It will be standard to give a portion— (Decided after game launch, and will be based off of assets assigned to you.), of your profits to your guardians. That being said, it will in no way break your bank, as your ability to grow will enhance the communities future as well as yours.
• Merchants are encouraged to make friendships with other factions, and act in a civilized manner at all times. Even if you truly hate your current dock.
• If you are raided while under the protection on our fleet, you will be entitled to full compensation. We will be planning your escort, we will shoulder the blame of its failure.
• In the case of our more affluent citizens owning their own mining dock and/or factory, the Sons of Tarsonis will ask for a weekly tax. This tax will pay into our military, and will fund protection and payment of other military personnel.

Exploration
The truest way to seek freedom in the ‘Verse.

• Any large bodies— Mineable asteroids, gas to be harvested, or stations to be taken.— Must be immediately forwarded to your nearest Officer. The following rules will cover expenses in the case of discovery. We follow a percentile guideline on exploration crews, and you are paid for the discovery of such areas. If you are wealthy enough to mine and/or set up shop at such a location, we will iron out the details with you, and help you do so.
• If you’re a civilian with your own crew, the organization will pay you for its location.

• (While this is all subject to change after the PU release.) Military recon of areas that discover any of the aforementioned bodies will be paid handsomely for their service. We would pay a total sum to each crew member that participated in the search, so that all are equally paid for their work.

Fleet and Community Guidelines.

• Represent the Sons of Tarsonis whenever applicable. We want our community to grow, and if you swell our ranks, you wlll be rewarded as well as promoted.
• You must never be an ally with a faction we are currently at war with. If one of our brothers or sisters have been assaulted, we must band behind them as a unit.
• You must never, under any circumstances, cheat or abuse any game mechanics. You’re citizenship will be immediately terminated after your case if heard by our Tribunal. Freedom is not exploiting another.
• You are encouraged to work with other citizens, but not required. If you have not joined our military, we will not dictate where you must go. Though I will say everyone profits from working together, and we’d like to see you rise.

Rescritions

• The Sons of Tarsonis are an all inclusive bunch. However in the interest of communication, we will be limiting recruitment to English speakers only. We do not require it to be a first language! But we need to be able to hold conversation.
• Age Requirement of 19. Exceptions can be made if a current member will vouch for you. But you must remember after doing so you are responsible for their behavior.
• To reiterate, we do not tolerate hatred in any form— Unless it is against a rival organization or the Vanduul.
