its actually quite easy imo...

1) the polices' role is to maintain freedom and stability - they deal with day to day piracy and their authority extends up to a point where their power becomes insufficient or their local authority does not cover an involvement.

the police is often in DIREKT contact with the civilians and kind of relies on civlians to call them for help. - they DO however act on their own when an obvious involvement happens.

2) the militaries duty is to maintain national security and stability. they spot national disruptions and usually act on their own without being directly called in by civilians.



so what happened?


- a station popped up that poses a threat to civilian, lawful trade
- such a station is usually considered too much for the police to deal with
- it all happens in CLEAR sight of the authorities, even more .. it happens in clear sight of a capital planet, so we MUST assume that the KNF knows about it ( the hit on the reputation for the KNF NOT knowing might be greater than anything else - incompetence is not viewed as a virtue in kusari )


what RPs are possible:

- the KNF does nothing, claiming that they have not been called by the civilians .... ---> thats clear incompetence
- the KNF acts ( late ), claiming it took them a while to prepare to ambush that base. questions WILL be asked why they even allowed the contruction though.
- the KNF does NOT act at all... at which point the public press might publicly ask for the reasons why the KNF does not act; questions that might be uncomfortable and might hit the future trade with kusari ( which kusari still requires ) so much that the KNF might become a target of a public campaign.

all that does not quite require a civilian to report anything - but it does involve "players" to roleplay the "public" interest - and someone of the KNF to deal with it.



most of that is not particularly "bad" for the roleplay enviroment for disco - but it does show that factions and consequences are rather complex and a "deal with it" attitude is just the lazy way out.
