Controlled Items¶

Controlled items are dangerous items whose use on stations should be monitored carefully, and may be authorized to select groups or individuals. Possession of these items without a license is a crime, with varying prison times depending on the severity and risk of the item.

Contraband Technology¶

The following technology is controlled and requires authorization from the listed department head:

Nuclear materials, weapons, and technology. (HOS)
Telecommunication or signal jamming technology. (CE)
Hypodermic spray tools and injectors. (CMO)
Cloaking, chameleon, and IFF-inhibiting technology. (HOS)
Bluespace materials, alloy, or technology (MG)
Teleportation and portal technology. (MG)
Powered or cryptographic equipment designed for the electronic or mechanical bypass of secure-access systems. (CE)

Additionally, any equipment or technology providing insight into the development, production, or procurement of a controlled item is also controlled in and of itself.

Chemicals¶

All controlled chemicals are to be stored safely within chemistry, or as directed by the Chief Medical Officer. The Chief Medical Officer is authorized to write prescriptions as medically necessary. The Chief Medical Officer may also write licenses for the use of controlled substances as necessary for the wellbeing of the station.

Class I - 20 minutes¶

Chemicals may not be authorized, and are to be securely stored separately or destroyed where possible, and incur a criminal possession charge of 20 minutes.

Romerol, or any other viral contaminants
Lexorin, or other rapid-acting poisons

Class II - 10 minutes¶

Chemicals may be licensed for specific application, incurring a criminal possession charge of 10 minutes.

Phlogiston, and other explosive and/or pyrotechnic compounds.
Amatoxin, and other toxic and/or poisonous compounds.
Mindbreaker Toxin and Cryptobiolin
Nocturine, and similar sedatives.

Class III - 5 minutes¶

Chemicals may be prescribed for therapeutic use as found appropriate, incurring a criminal possession charge of 5 minutes.

Desoxyephedrine, and similar stimulants.
Blissifylovene, Soretizone, Tranquinase, and all similar psychoactives used to aid in mental wellbeing.
Lotophagi Oil and other psionically altering chemicals

Armaments¶

Possession may be charged for each separate and distinct weapon, with varying times depending on severity.

Category A: 2 minutes¶

Any object or instrument specifically designed, adapted, or used to cause physical harm in close combat
Any object or equipment specifically designed or adapted to protect against physical harm caused by weapons, projectiles, or other forms of direct assault
Any object or instrument specifically designed or adapted to incapacitate or disorient by using light or sound without causing permanent injury
Any object or equipment specifically designed or adapted for explicitly training purposes that would otherwise fall under another category

Category B: 5 minutes¶

Any object or instrument specifically designed or adapted to cause physical harm in close combat, which employs a powered system to enhance performance, or which may slash or pierce the victim
Any single action or manually loaded rifles, with either an internal magazine or no magazine at all

Category C: 10 minutes¶

Any manually-operated ballistic arms that use an external magazine or feeding system
Any semi-automatic ballistic arms that are easily concealed within a pocket or coat
Any object or instrument specifically designed or adapted for explicitly less-lethal or nonlethal purposes that would otherwise not fall under another category

Category D: 15 minutes¶

Any semi-automatic ballistic arms that are not easily concealable
Any fully-automatic ballistic arms
Any laser, plasma, or energy based arms, including ones designed, intended, or used for melee combat.
Any object or device specifically designed or adapted to cause physical harm through detonation of an explosive charge
Any object or equipment specifically designed or adapted to protect against both a space environment and physical harm caused by weapons, projectiles, or other forms of direct assault

Category E: 20 minutes¶

Any emplaced weapon, such as a turret
Any object or instrument specifically designed or adapted to launch large-calibre explosives or projectiles for offensive or defensive purposes
Any object or instrument specifically designed or adapted to employ chemical, biological, esoteric, radiological, or nuclear hazards for offensive or defensive purposes

Licenses¶

Any individual requiring any controlled item in the course of their job, or for regular function, may request a document of authorization, or license, from the relevant departmental head. Weapons and armor may be licensed by the HOS or warden, chemicals may be licensed by the CMO, and most other items may be licensed by the CE or MG as relevant. A license must have an itemized list of the approved Controlled Items, the name and position of the holder, and a signed and stamped statement by the authorizing party.

Should the holder commit crimes through the use of such authorized items, the authorizing party may be found guilty of Accessory to said crimes, in addition to Endangerment and Abuse of Power where applicable. The Commanding Officer is also authorized to supervise the approval and revocation of documentation as they see fit.

Departmental Dispensation¶

Some jobs may require certain Controlled Items in the course of their duties, and as such are provided exceptions.

Any department member with access to a controlled item via their department area, including their departmental lathe, is assumed authorized for its possession and use.

Additionally, tools and equipment located within emergency lockers are not considered Controlled Items.

Medical staff are authorized to administer controlled substances with direct approval by the CMO. Any class I or II chemicals are to be given to chemistry for safe disposal, and are not to be stored without an explicit license from the CMO.
