 Security Officer |
Superiors: Head of Security
|
NanoTrasen has developed a state-of-the-art research station, and in the same breath, they signed a clown onto the payroll. It henceforth falls to you to protect the station from threats, real or perceived. Your fundamental role is to ensure crew safety. This may mean putting yourself at risk, but that’s why we wear the badge.
It is important to note that Security is one of the most mechanics-heavy roles on the station and requires a reasonably high degree of proficiency in the game’s basic controls. For this reason, getting a good deal of experience in other roles is suggested before attempting to play as Security.
Security Officer Expectations
- Keep the peace under the guidance of the HoS, enforce Corporate Regulations to resolve disrupting behavior severe enough to warrant it.
- Patrol the station to make sure that the crew is not at risk.
- Handle cases as you are instructed to by your superiors.
- Detain criminals, collect fines, and administer corrective behavior.
- De-escalate situations to the best of your ability
The Peacekeeper
As an Officer, your job is to ensure peace. You have been tasked to provide peaceful resolutions. The ability to arrest, protect, and counsel the crew and solve problems comes with great responsibility. Your actions and choices will have consequences. Expect to be judged by everyone, including your peers. Don't forget that you are not alone; always ask for help, even if it's not coming from a fellow Officer. You will get to know your expectations that way. Lastly, review the Security Policy, which details said expectations.

Assess - ICWhen arriving on a scene, the first thing any officer should do is assess the situation, get an idea of what really happened past the initial report, and piece together a story in order to figure out what your next move should be.

Arrests - ICArrests are when someone involved in a situation, be they the suspect or not, is detained and brought to the brig for further actions:

Tools for Peacekeeping
You need to be equipped to conduct your duties. The brig will have most of your equipment necessary to perform. If they are unavailable, check with the Warden for anything to spare. You may need to get your supplies from Cargo.
- The lockers in the brig will contain your peacekeeping belt and all your essential tools. There are also Security Hud Sunglasses and a flashlight for your disabler.
- You can attain other equipment from the Equipment vendor. One of the notable ones is the Energy Bola.
- A Universal recorder can be applicable when conducting an investigation. This can be used as evidence should anyone question your claims.

Communicating Proper Channels
Being a Peacekeeper means you will gain access to the security channel on your radio: ,s
The Chain of Command is as follows. Above you is the Head of Security, and above them is the Captain. You will primarily be operating this chain of command aboard the station. Central Command directs the Captain outside the station, meaning some orders passed down to you may be from CentComm. Should the Head of Security not be present, the Warden can act as your direct supervisor.
Mechanical Minds, Silicon SecOffs
One of your most useful tools is your small friend, Officer Beepsky. Your Sec HUD can be used to set someone’s arrest status on the fly, and for those you can’t see you can call in to the Warden, who can set this status on their console. Once he finds a target, his on-board radio will let you know when he finds the no-good criminal! It cannot be overstated how useful this can be during a manhunt. An extra pair of eyes is nothing to scoff at, so be sure to call in reports of criminals frequently.
Dealing with threats
As a Peacekeeper, there will come times when you will need to deal with serious threats. The most important thing is to remember that most situations can be resolved by working together and that more chaos will lead to worse problems. Communication is vital, and it will be essential that you maintain contact with your peers when the alert is raised to deal with these threats. Regular check-ins are highly recommended. Provide information that is clear and concise. Do it regularly and whenever possible. Let everyone know where the threat is and what the threat is doing, and note things that your peers need to know.
