=General Crew Policy=
While Nanotrasen put their name on the station, it doesn't mean that everyone is loyal, or even employed by them!

* The 'Frontier' is [ WAITING FOR LORE ]
* This means, in short, don't expect all of the crew to be 'NT', especially not for departments such as security, and cargo, who are usually if not always entirely outsourced workers!
* The station is more than just a place for mining and research.
* It's a transit hub where travelers, contractors, and so forth stay in between trips. While you could be an NT employed workman, you might just be a vagrant, or an independent contractor, trying to get by on a station with a dwindling amount of government oversight!
* Below is a list of guidelines and rules to detail what is expected out of your IC and OOC behavior as a non-antagonist crewman.

===Don’t needlessly involve yourself.===
It's all too common where people involve themselves too much in situations, they should either observe or step back from in ways where they can become a detriment to roleplay. Examples include:

*Watching an arrest occur is usually fine. Randomly running into one, just to start shoving the officers over while they're cuffing, isn't.
*Seeing an argument between two command staff and butting in when you have no context, and then physically intruding on it.
*Seeing someone use a Stealth Implant and without prior context, opting to viciously hunt them down while not security.

Try to use common sense and judgement to figure out when you should get involved. If you have reason to suddenly jump in, like someone getting beat to death, then it's fair game!

===Do not go beyond your scope===
In short, this means stick to what your character would, and should know, and don't involve yourself for the sake of it, for examples:

* Don't rush into the SM room mid-surge as a janitor, to start 'saving it.'
* Don't start doing surgery in the medical lobby, in spite of the doctors just for the sake of 'well, I can do it.'

tl;dr: keep your actions, and choices to what's within scope of your character!

===You are not perfect===

* To help favor a roleplay friendly environment, we expect people to limit their mechanics knowledge to some degree when possible.
* A cargo technician shouldn't know how to do an ultra-secure and safe plasma SM setup, but if there's no one else available, the pipes are straight forward enough to get it rolling on a basic set up.
* Use your best judgement and try to let others do their job before you jump into things.

===Not everyone is Nanotrasen===
The station isn't entirely NT owned and will be very-prone to contracted, or elsewise outsourced workers,

'''Important:''' As a non-antagonist, your on station character can not be a double agent without an approved app!

Be realistic with your allegiances remember to lean towards 'small fish' instead of main character!

'''NOTE:''' <u>This does not give you a license to grief or self antag.</u>
