Corporate Representative SOP

As a Corporate Representative, you are the public face of your faction in the Aurora Sector. You operate under the treaties and agreements between your faction and the Auroran Government.

Your primary responsibility is to advance your faction's interests while maintaining a profitable relationship with Aurora through diplomacy and responsible authorization of restricted equipment. Exercise discretion in your dealings, uphold these agreements, and ensure that competition does not jeopardize continued cooperation or disrupt sector operations.

Conduct

Maintain a cordial public appearance and favor negotiation when resolving disputes. Exercise discretion in pursuing corporate interests, and keep rivalries and personal disagreements from becoming disruptions that jeopardize your faction's standing or business in the sector.

Maintain working relations with Colonial Command, and Sector Law Enforcement. You are expected to work with parties whose interests may differ from your own. **Your position does not place you above Space Law.**

Permits

You may authorize possession and use of your own faction's restricted equipment. To issue a permit:

Have the applicant present the equipment for inspection. Confirm their identity and that the items fall within your authority to authorize.
Complete the appropriate corporate permit. Record your name, the recipient's name, the date and time (bottom left of your PDA), and every item being authorized.
Collect the required fee. ***(TODO: how should we determine fee?)***
Have both yourself and the applicant sign the completed permit.
Give the holder a copy, retain a copy for your records, and fax a copy to SLE.

The permit applies only to the signed holder and listed equipment. It does not replace any required Contraband Handling License or excuse unlawful use.

Refuse authorization where there is reason to believe equipment will be misused. Cooperate with SLE over criminal conduct and provide relevant permit records when needed.

Accountability

Address misconduct by anyone acting in the name of your faction, especially permit holders. Make it clear that affiliation carries an expectation of responsible conduct, and direct them to stop behavior that harms the company's reputation or relationship with Aurora. Protect your faction's interests with the Auroran Government.
