The Unione Corse

INFO: This page is an information page on the law enforcement component of Provence.

By the Laws of Gallia,
The Unione Corse (UC/-) is hereby recognized as a law enforcement organization,
in the Autonomous Region of Provence.

Unione Corse - Law Enforcement Authority
Unione Corse - Autorità per l'applicazione di a lege
Unione Corse - Autorité chargée de l'application de la loi

This is the rewritten, corrected, recorded speech of Conseiller Amadeo Giovacchini, in charge of the Law Enforcement Authority of Provence, during the party held at Platform Borgia-3's Grand Hotel, celebrating the status of Provence, as an Independent Protectorate.

Foreword

¤¤¤¤¤We know that many of our brethren came from the streets, illiterate sometimes, some unable to wield a gun, or fly a jet, but this was the reality for Planet Marseille as a whole. Throughout the years, the Unione Corse, through its literate, influent and powerful people, did not forget their home, and not only protected it, even during the darkest hours, such as the Battleship Oblique Tragedy, but we also taught our kids how to read, how to spell, how to behave and how to dress. Nowadays, we are the polar opposite of that - we are what we dreamt of being.

The guide to the gentlemen officer

¤¤¤¤¤With the status of Provence - now an independent Protectorate, protected only by Gallia, but with our own laws, and the Unione Corse ruling the system, sheltering the Provencials from the criminals, the terrorists and the agitators from the Wild Taus next door, we have been granted the status of law enforcement in the Provence system. This is where your education comes in handy. While you know the big lines of law, you all do not know its technicalities or its loopholes as the officers do. This is why the LEA part of the Unione Corse is not readily available to the Initié or even to the Équipier immediately. You must follow a six-month additional formation with the Gallic Navy to be able to protect officially, our home.

¤¤¤¤¤While not being an officer in the Gallic Navy - this is obviously advantageous, as you won't have to be deployed in Kusari again to be killed for political reasons that goes not only above our heads, but are purely irrelevant to the safety and the sanctity of Provence. I would say this is an equal price to not be awarded regularly medals by a Navy officer - plus, we have our own.

The Corsican Code of Honor (Police version)

¤¤¤¤¤Of course, you shouldn't use the same ship you'd use when you're escorting a l'Âne with an obviously questionable cargo, but these ships are the pride of the Corsican ingenuity, and are legal, despite being based off Brigand's technology. The weaponry should be Corsican as well. The laws should be followed, but genuinely lost Freelancers, foreigners, or people that are not familiar should be given a fair and warm treatment instead of beating them down like in Liberty. If you are positive it was a honest mistake, and/or a victimless crime, explain them clearly what they have done wrong, and reminds them of the golden rule; at Rome, do as the Romans do - but contrary to the usual Gallic, we are not xenophobic, we are a hospitable people, because we too have known poverty, war and devastation.

Structure

¤¤¤¤¤The structure of the Law Enforcement Authority of Provence, or LEAP is simple.

In its entirety, this code serves as a testament to the commitment to a just and equitable society.

This Code describes, for each infraction of any article a penalty. A penalty may be:

A verbal warning issued by a member of the Law Enforcement Authority of Provence (LEAP), or any member of the Unione Corse;
A monetary fee, depending on the nature of the infraction, and the quantity for each. Same as above;
A partial or total seizure of the cargo;

Offenses

The following actions are described as offenses, which infringes on the Code of the Provence System, which will result in a penalty as explained above. The maximum fee for a fine is 100,000₣ (or 100,000 Sirian Credits), for specific infractions (such as an illegal Modular Installation), it can be increased beyond, at the discretion of the General Staff.

Offenses

Assault: the act of firing upon another ship without the express authorization or exception. (i.e. Bounty Hunters chasing after a contract).

Piracy: the act carried out by pirates to seize cargo, or demand money in an illegal manner.

Use of the system, and/or its facilities, as a staging point for military, or illegal operations.

Transit, and deployment of capital-class ships (excl. gunboats and frigates) in the Provence system (without prior authorization).

Trafficking of restricted and/or illegal commodities (see infra. for the Banned and Restricted Commodities).

Other non-violent crimes, judged at the discretion of the officer.

Restrictions within Provence

The Provence system is a demilitarized region of space. The Provence autonomous region, contrary to the rest of the Gallic Union, upholds neutrality as a core concept, and does not wish to be dragged into ideological, economical, or any sort of conflict.

It is illegal for capital-class ships (above gunboat/gunship) of any affiliation to be present within Provence. This includes Gallic Navy capital-class ships. It is, however, authorized, for the Gallic Navy, to pass through Provence with a capital-class ship - it is however illegal for the Gallic Navy, to use Provence, as a staging point for military operations of any kind. To operate a capital-class ship within Provence, the organization or House must petition in the licensing attribution center.

They must also agree not to use the capital-class ship(s) against citizens of Provence, or against the Unione Corse, any Provençal organization, or modular bases, and industry lawfully located in Provence, as well as not use Provence as a staging point for any military operations of any kind, as stated above.

It is illegal to possess, equip and/or produce restricted technological devices (i.e. Jump Drive) without a prior authorization from the Unione Corse and Provence. The full list of restricted and prohibited equipment is below. You can obtain an authorization to possess, equip, and/or produce by fulfilling a form in the licensing attribution center. (temporarily deprecated).

All Modular Installation projects must undergo prior examination by the Unione Corse before construction can proceed. Future Administrators are required to submit a NeuralNet request on a communication channel, to either The Unione Corse, the Dept. of Acquisition and Commerce (DAC), or the Government of Provence (all three are valid recipients), detailing the intent, location, and faction/IFF of the planned Modular Installation. It is also appreciated to indicate what the Modular Installation's goals will be (shipbuilding, food production, storage, ore refinement, etc.).

After reception of the request, the Unione Corse’s DAC will conduct a review, assessing the project's compliance with Provence regulations. If necessary, corrections such as adjustments to the installation’s positioning relative to the map and its designated sector. And upon approval, an official certificate in this format, will be issued either directly to the Administrator(s) or published on the communication channel used by the Future Administrators.

Once the necessary amendments are accepted and confirmed by the future Administrator(s) of the Modular Installation, the project will be granted authorization. This authorization will be formalized through an update to the official list of authorized Modular Installations within this thread, ensuring full alignment with the regulations of Provence and the interests of its people.

In case of an emergency, a comm. thread will be published in order to authorize Administrators to build Weapon Platforms. In times of peace, Weapons Platforms are not authorized to be built.

Case Study: Chateau.de.la.Mothe Chandeniers Modular Installation (Redacted comms. thread will be added in the future).

Shipyards and shipbuilding-related commodities are authorized for legal Modular Installations (that are listed in the DAC list of Modular Installations); by default if the Modular Installation is legitimate, the restriction on shipbuilding and shipbuilding-related commodities is authorized for said Modular Installation(s) Administrator(s), workers, and/or related.
