Fewer vessels have posed as much of a headache for [[Ageira|Ageira's]] Universal ID system than this line of craft.

Encompassing the Junker spirit of ingenuity and manufacturing genius, each of these ships are hand tailored to meet, more or less, schematics passed down generation by generation within respective Junker clans and families.
While the traditions surrounding the forging of these ships vary from family to family, from being made to assemble the vessels using parts scavenged by the rest of the clan to being made to find the components of their own accord through barter and clever "liberation" of components.

No two vessels, even made of the same 'plans' are ever completely the same. Each vessel made with pride to serve as a unique hallmark of the Junker who forges it. Even so, the universal characteristics achieved are generally revolve around nimble craft designed to slip through junk fields and ship wrecks to settle in locations where even [[Combat Service Vehicle|CSVs]] cannot tread, with generous combat and salvage capabilities to ensure that any Junker's first foray into space will be a profitable one.

When the [[Bounty Hunters Guild]] focused its capital fleet on the Omicron systems, the [[Order]] needed a bomber that was both capable of fending off these attackers and efficiently engineered due to the Order's limited resources. The '''Sekhmet''' represents the pinnacle of Order engineering and allows the Order to deal heavy damage to attacking capital ships at minimal risk.

With her shores under constant strain by pirates of all stripes and nationalities, the Liberty Navy was forced into a position of pressing beyond the solid delivery of the Havoc class bomber towards something universal, something agile, something that would look good on a recruiting poster.

The '''Upholder''' is a masterfully crafted vessel utilizing the height of Ageira drive and reactor technology to form a craft capable of unleashing devastating power in sizes thought unimaginable for the maneuverability offered. An adaptable design more than capable of handling any threat, from darting Xeno fighters to the heaviest foreign armor.

This vessel is amongst several new developments by engineers claiming to work for a resurgent Coalition.
This ship is in fact a variant of the easily modified KRP-C9822 "Insurgent" Very Heavy Fighter. Being of a modular nature, it allows for extra armour to be fixed to the fuselage, as well as an expanded power core in order to support antimatter weaponry. Whilst this does slow the fighter to slightly more expected speeds for a bomber, it does allow Coalition pilots to combat enemy capital support.
Possibly the most feared of Coalition snub-vessels, those that have fled at the sight of such ships whisper of them as 'Demons', for obvious, terrifying, reasons.

As the Junker presence has spread farther throughout Sirius, they have faced greater threats. Junker shipyards supplemented the venerable CSV with the Collector fighter but in the world of ever increasing ship power the need for a bomber able to inflict damage on larger vessels has come to the fore. Enter the Recycler.
Designed and constructed at Vieques Shipyard in Puerto Rico, the Recycler utilizes readily available components from several criminal combat ships as well as some "borrowed" design elements from a well known Liberty light fighter. The result is a sustainable mass-produced ship that can be built and maintained with salvage and spare parts found at most Junker bases or common smuggling points

As each progressive stake exhausted itself and house corporations continued to expand on their heels, the men and women of the IMG were made to venture deeper afield, pushing into wild and remote systems of the borderworlds to seek the fortunes that sustained their way of life. Some worried that they might have dug too greedily, and too deep.

Within the Taus the IMG encountered the Outcasts, whom they were ill equipped to face. Their mining ships were prepared to repel the stings of borderworld brigands, but the warships brought down upon their freighters and space superiority fighters took a heavy toll in life during some of the bloodiest years in the history of the guild.

Wrought from those lessons, and upon the design experience garnered from the development of the Nyx, is the Pytho. A monstrously powerful assault bomber capable of slipping amongst cluttered asteroids with grace and finesse to bring down murderous ruin upon the cumbersome capital vessels of their foes.

The Farmer's '''Mamoru''' or "Mama" bomber was designed by Samura for the [[Farmers Alliance]]. Built at the small shipbuilding facility on [[Cape Soya Station]], the Mama gives the Farmers a ship capable of quickly stripping transports shields while retaining enough agility to defend itself from hostile fighters. Its twin turret weapons setup is designed to give the Mama the ability protect its blind spot with more firepower than other ships of the same class. The Mamoru is quickly developing a fearsome reputation amongst [[Synth Foods]] pilots flying in [[Kusari]] and the Sigma systems. The Farmers have also sold Mama's to their allies amongst the [[Gaians]] and [[Hogosha]].

Ironically labelled a 'civilian' bomber by its Libertonian designers, who also developed such classics as the 'Eagle' fighter, there is little civil about this piece of kit.

This ship is now being used by various civilian corporations that find themselves being pirated by gunboats and similar, who purchase this ship from construction yards or build it themselves after acquiring the rights to its patent. Also of note is the rather large amount of these ships found in the possession of criminal organisations such as the Xenos in Liberty and the Golden Chrysanthemums in Kusari space.

This may indicate that these groups are able to cannibalise the hulls of their Eagles and modify them to make them into bombers, or that they have more financial support for their military machines than lawmen would have previously imagined.

Seen all over Sirius, in the hands of corporations, criminals, Zoners and Freelancers, this bomber is a versatile piece of equipment, handy for those that all-too-often find themselves on the wrong end of big guns.

Bearing only a vague resemblance to the original craft that grandfathered itself and its counterpart, the Umibozu, each Nodachi is a tailor crafted vessel passed through family lines with history as rich as any Samurai sword of old. While favoring maneuverability and deftness of control over sluggish fortitude the exact specifications of each craft is melded to fit with that of its pilot. Refined and refitted time and again to meet the styles, thoughts and will of its pilot these craft provide a stunning and unearthly show of martial prowess upon the battlefield.
The sanctified nature of these craft dictate that they pass from father to son, from family to family. Each ship is a treasured tribute to battles fought and lives lost. To find one outside Blood Dragon hands is unthinkable and the deaths of those whom try is undeniable.

Freighters

2009-07-09T21:58:53Z

Sleipnir: Added Tarvos

{{Template:Outdated}}

Freighters are trading vessels of the caliber available in the original Freelancer game. They range from the Liberty Rhino to the Camara heavy freighter, and are used by many NPCs.

Rules-wise, a freighter is a trade vessel marked as a freighter by the Freelancer ship types, but with less than 650 units of cargo space, larger ships are [[transports]]. [[Capital ships|Gunboats, Cruisers and Battleships]] are also not freighters, despite being marked as such in the ship purchase window.

Another oddity about freighters is their shields, freighter shields range from class 1 to class 6, instead of class 1 to class 10 like fighter shields, This is because freighter shields classes 7 - 10 are reserved for transports and capital ships. But don't start hyperventilating thinking you will be stuck with that class 6 Advanced Sentinel Freighter Shield because freighter shields keep progressing even though they are still marked "class 6". Really, this is a good thing, it means if your freighter can handle a class 6 shield, it can handle any freighter shield. If you want to know what class your freighter shield really is, just look at the shield of the same name sold for light or heavy fighters.

This vessel is amongst several new developments by engineers claiming to work for a resurgent Coalition.

The Storm, designed for autonomous reconnaissance missions deep within hostile space, maintains a slender profile replete with the firepower to quickly dominate any would be pursuers. Built under the Coalition philosophy of inexpensive utilitarian reliability, the Storm is a feared compliment to the Coalition armada.

The first days of mankind's exploration of the Sirius sector employed enormous vessels to traverse the dark spaces between neighboring stars. These large and imposing vessels were extremely utilitarian and provided little in creature comforts, placing instead emphasis on self-sufficiency and the fortitude to endure.

With the advent of modern travel systems near the end of the fourth century, the use of such vessels quickly fell to the wayside leaving drifting husks to the vast debris fields that marked the epochs of space expansion. So they remained until came a time where men again had use for them. Slavers. With their vast holds, massive life support systems and robust armories, these mammoth fortress vessels made ideal platforms for which to ply a trade in human flesh.

The ''Ragnar'' follows same basic design of Rheinlan's transport ships. However, increased power core capabilities, advanced hull plating and powerful weapons array make this vessel unique among transports. Although its main purpose is transporting classified or precious cargo, lately police utilizes several of these ships in effort to cut smuggler routes.

Dissatisfied with the war time performance of conventional civilian transports for the movement of truly vast stores of cargo required to maintain Bretonian efferts in the Taus, shipbuilders at Scarborough Station designed this transport to better survive Kusari raiders, and parasitic unlawfuls in the Omegas.

The realities of a true theater of war making laughingstock of a conventional transport armaments, the Shetland instead is designed to ferry her load under thick slabs of armor, designed to absorb the pinpricks of her adversaries with impunity.

This ship is constructed by Borderwolds Exports for use by Bretonian firms when large amounts of cargo need serious protection. It follows the Bretonian tradition og relying on heavy armour and powerful armaments to defend itself, as opposed to any sort of finesse or delicate handling. This works extremely well, its cast size allowing for a generous cargo hold as well as a power core and armor suite that is nothing short of terrifying for those pirates that may think of robbing it.

The Shire is used on all major trade routes frequented by Bretonian corporations, not being so common on the minor ones as other, lighter, vessels due to it developing a reputation for being somewhat ankward and clumsy in asteroid fields. However, in space is seen as one of the most difficult to attack in all Sirius.

The aptly named Atlas class transport is the foundation upon which the the next generation of IMG efforts stand. With conventional transports being increasingly reliant upon an ever more closely linked sector the demands upon interstellar performance have all but vanished. Confronted with increasing political pressures within the systems linked by house trade networks and jumpholes, the IMG crafted a vessel capable of serving its needs between houses and in the black between stars.

Boasting impressive armament atop a hull designed to suffer intense stellar radiations, the Atlas is the lifeline between the fledgling groups of struggling outcast miners of the past, and the industrial empire of the future.

Based in many ways upon the design philosophy employed by the GMG Kujira class transport, the ZBT is effectively a hardened radiation shell providing support for her massive engines to ferry her spacious cargo with unmatched agility. Forgoing traditional arms and armament, the Zoners rely instead upon their studiously cultivated diplomatic ties to assure the safety of the vessel.
Sales of the ZBT are explicitly prohibited to non-Zoners and those vessels encountered flown under any other flag are assumed to have been acquired by nefarious means... And their destruction rewarded appropriately. Technology of its internal frame is held under a strict protection and the ships engine power that ensures it almost unmatched agility is jealously guarded.

When men and philosophers first dreamed, they dreamed of the stars. To visit their gods residing with the heavenly kingdoms they had fashioned from their imaginations. Once that had been taken care of, they needed something of equal grandeur upon which to focus their fevered imaginations. Now when men dream, they dream of the Democritus, of pools laid beneath the stars, of bar service, of Zeus's chariot with their name on the deed, of Aphrodite admiring the trim, while Eris charts the party's course.

The final culmination of personal glory and accumulated wealth, the Democritus ferries her charges with agility, security and unmatched grace. With dual countermeasures, a slim profile and enough firepower to knock a small moon out of orbit, as once demonstrated against a hapless Maine by one furiously intoxicated Jay Simon of Interspace Commerce, there is no greater combination of style and security within the colonies of man.

*Systems claimed by the Crown ([[Inverness]], [[Chester]], [[Dundee]], [[Salisbury]]) (only under certain circumstances)
*The BPA home system ([[Poole]])

==Synopsis==
As the name states, the [[Bretonia Police Authority|Bretonia Police Authority (BPA)]] is the official police force within the [[Bretonia|Bretonian nation]].

Widely held to be a bastion of justice throughout Sirius, the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is respected by friends and foes alike. It is responsible for the public safety of all [[Bretonia|Bretonian]] citizens and foreign visitors, provided that they are not hostile towards [[Bretonia]], it's allies, or itself. Typical tasks include scanning [[transports]] for [[contraband]], collecting fines, and operating the important [[Nomad Transportation Licensure Board]]. As [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] constables are also responsible for the safety of the public, they will engage pirates, terrorists, and other enemies only when they are a threat to them and the public.

The [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is a lawful, police faction, with certain distinct differences with the lawful, [[Bretonia Armed Forces]] (BAF) faction.

Unlike the [[Bretonia Armed Forces|BAF]], which is aggressively dedicated to the defense of [[Bretonia]] from external powers, such as the [[Kusari Naval Forces]], the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is not interested in such matters. In fact, pursuing these matters is completely out of it's jurisdiction. The [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is dedicated to the defense of [[Bretonia]] from within. The primary concern is that Bretonia does not break down from rampant crime within while the nation is subjected to multiple attacks every day from [[Kusari|Kusarianese]] Forces.

Thus, the BPA has a [[Zone_Of_Interest|Zone of Interest]] that is restricted to Bretonian space. Only when escorting [[VIPs]] will the BPA temporarily leave Bretonia space for a [[Border Worlds|Border World]] system.

Due to the confrontation with more and more criminals piloting [[capital ships]] and the [[Bretonia Armed Forces|Armed Forces]] being occupied in the Kusari-war, the BPA under former Commissioner Sir Alan Lauderdale created a special sub-division within itself: the Special Response Division (SRD). The SRD consists of a team of [[Challenger]] pilots, acting as the ultima ratio when the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is confronted with [[capital ships|capital vessels]].

Also, partially due to the Tau-31 Blockade, the BPA was and is confronted with violent smugglers and blockade runners on a daily base. In [[Timeline of Sirius history|816 A.S.]] it was decided to fight fire with fire and the Commerce Control Division (CCD) was introduced by former Commissioner Joshua Cooper. CCD Captains are senior BPA pilots, entrusted with a [[Freighters|freighter]] or [[Transports|transport]] class ship, able to oppose hostile transports and seizing illegal cargo.

==Organization==
===Chain of Command===

''Police Commissioner''

The supreme leader of the BPA, the Police Commissioner, is responsible for the actions of the BPA in general, as well as the distribution of tasks to lower ranked constables.

''Chief Constables''

There are a total of five section chiefs and equivalents who are Chief Constables in command of particular regions. In those areas, the Chief Constable's Jurisdiction is supreme, excluding the Leeds-Newcastle Sectional Chief who shares authority with the BAF in Leeds. Chief Constables in other Chief Constable's regions are subject to the authority of the home Chief Constable.
The Chief Constables are: the New London Metropolitan Section Chief, the Leeds-Newcastle Sectional Chief, the Warden of Newgate, the Sheriff of Edinburgh, the Cambridge Section Chief and the Dublin BPA-BAF Liaison Officer.

''Commanders''

The most loyal, devoted and skillful constables of the BPA rank Commanders. They have a certain authority over lower ranked constables and are a welcomed sight throughout the realm.

''Captains''

When an officer is known to have leading qualities, has served the BPA for a remarkable amount of time and shows exceptional responsibility and seriousness in duty, he is promoted to Captain rank.

''Senior Constables''

Senior Constables are experienced pilots who have spend a longer amount of time in the BPA. They are entrusted with more important tasks and are expected to serve as guides and paragons for other constables.

''Constables''

Constables are the firm base of BPA pilots. They are taking care of the every-day work in Bretonia and can, as AFO-licensed, assist the BAF in combat.

''Junior Constables''

Junior Constables are fresh recruits, and pilots without AFO license. After a certain time in training on patrols, the Junior Constable will be promoted to Constable rank and receive his or her AFO license.

===AFO Policy===

Weapons of lethal nature should not be used by the BPA. The BPA is a peace-keeping police force, and intends to respond to actions in a peaceful manner.
It is recognized, however, that certain individuals do not possess the same dignity or respect for human life as the BPA. As a result, Constables and Officers alike can apply to become AFOs, or Authorized Firearms Officers, and mount weapons and nuclear mines.
Regardless of status, however, all Constables should have some ability to disrupt tradelanes in order to apprehend fleeing criminals. As a result, Non-AFO Constables and Junior Constables may mount one Adv. Debilitator(Available on Planet Leeds) to assist in the disruption of tradelanes.

In order to become an AFO, the Constable or Officer must prove themselves to be excellent individuals in the Bretonian community as well as the BPA as a whole. AFOs are expected to act with maturity and restraint when using their weapons. Stray fire and play-shooting are discouraged, as these weapons are to be taken seriously.

A Hussar should only carry the following equipment in order to classify as unarmed: 1 Adv. Debilitator, 1 Train Cruise Disruptor, 1 Counter Measure.

'''Duties:''' Scanning traders for contraband, protecting civilians and allies against pirates and terrorists, assisting the Armed Forces when needed.

'''[[Zone_Of_Interest|Zone of Interest]]'''
*All Bretonian systems ([[New London]], [[Cambridge]], [[Manchester]], [[Leeds]], [[Edinburgh]], [[Newcastle]], [[Dublin]])
*Systems claimed by the Crown ([[Inverness]], [[Chester]], [[Dundee]], [[Salisbury]]) (only under certain circumstances)
*The BPA home system ([[Poole]])

==Synopsis==
As the name states, the [[Bretonia Police Authority|Bretonia Police Authority (BPA)]] is the official police force within the [[Bretonia|Bretonian nation]].

Widely held to be a bastion of justice throughout Sirius, the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is respected by friends and foes alike. It is responsible for the public safety of all [[Bretonia|Bretonian]] citizens and foreign visitors, provided that they are not hostile towards [[Bretonia]], it's allies, or itself. Typical tasks include scanning [[transports]] for [[contraband]], collecting fines, and operating the important [[Nomad Transportation Licensure Board]]. As [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] constables are also responsible for the safety of the public, they will engage pirates, terrorists, and other enemies only when they are a threat to them and the public.

The [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is a lawful, police faction, with certain distinct differences with the lawful, [[Bretonia Armed Forces]] (BAF) faction.

Unlike the [[Bretonia Armed Forces|BAF]], which is aggressively dedicated to the defense of [[Bretonia]] from external powers, such as the [[Kusari Naval Forces]], the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is not interested in such matters. In fact, pursuing these matters is completely out of it's jurisdiction. The [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is dedicated to the defense of [[Bretonia]] from within. The primary concern is that Bretonia does not break down from rampant crime within while the nation is subjected to multiple attacks every day from [[Kusari|Kusarianese]] Forces.

Thus, the BPA has a [[Zone_Of_Interest|Zone of Interest]] that is restricted to Bretonian space. Only when escorting [[VIPs]] will the BPA temporarily leave Bretonia space for a [[Border Worlds|Border World]] system.

Due to the confrontation with more and more criminals piloting [[capital ships]] and the [[Bretonia Armed Forces|Armed Forces]] being occupied in the Kusari-war, the BPA under former Commissioner Sir Alan Lauderdale created a special sub-division within itself: the Special Response Division (SRD). The SRD consists of a team of [[Challenger]] pilots, acting as the ultima ratio when the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is confronted with [[capital ships|capital vessels]].

Also, partially due to the Tau-31 Blockade, the BPA was and is confronted with violent smugglers and blockade runners on a daily base. In [[Timeline of Sirius history|816 A.S.]] it was decided to fight fire with fire and the Commerce Control Division (CCD) was introduced by former Commissioner Joshua Cooper. CCD Captains are senior BPA pilots, entrusted with a [[Freighters|freighter]] or [[Transports|transport]] class ship, able to oppose hostile transports and seizing illegal cargo.

==Organization==
===Chain of Command===

''Police Commissioner''

The supreme leader of the BPA, the Police Commissioner, is responsible for the actions of the BPA in general, as well as the distribution of tasks to lower ranked constables.

''Chief Constables''

There are a total of five section chiefs and equivalents who are Chief Constables in command of those particular regions. In those areas, the Chief Constable's Jurisdiction is supreme, excluding the Leeds-Newcastle Sectional Chief who shares authority with the BAF in Leeds. Chief Constables in other Chief Constable's regions are subject to the authority of the home Chief Constable.
The Chief Constables are: the New London Metropolitan Section Chief, the Leeds-Newcastle Sectional Chief, the Warden of Newgate, the Sheriff of Edinburgh, the Cambridge Section Chief and the Dublin BPA-BAF Liaison Officer.

''Commanders''

The most loyal, devoted and skillful constables of the BPA rank Commanders. They have a certain authority over lower ranked constables and are a welcomed sight throughout the realm.

''Captains''

When an officer is known to have leading qualities, has served the BPA for a remarkable amount of time and shows exceptional responsibility and seriousness in duty, he is promoted to Captain rank.

''Senior Constables''

Senior Constables are experienced pilots who have spend a longer amount of time in the BPA. They are entrusted with more important tasks and are expected to serve as guides and paragons for other constables.

''Constables''

Constables are the firm base of BPA pilots. They are taking care of the every-day work in Bretonia and can, as AFO-licensed, assist the BAF in combat.

''Junior Constables''

Junior Constables are fresh recruits, and pilots without AFO license. After a certain time in training on patrols, the Junior Constable will be promoted to Constable rank and receive his or her AFO license.

===AFO Policy===

Weapons of lethal nature should not be used by the BPA. The BPA is a peace-keeping police force, and intends to respond to actions in a peaceful manner.
It is recognized, however, that certain individuals do not possess the same dignity or respect for human life as the BPA. As a result, Constables and Officers alike can apply to become AFOs, or Authorized Firearms Officers, and mount weapons and nuclear mines.
Regardless of status, however, all Constables should have some ability to disrupt tradelanes in order to apprehend fleeing criminals. As a result, Non-AFO Constables and Junior Constables may mount one Adv. Debilitator(Available on Planet Leeds) to assist in the disruption of tradelanes.

In order to become an AFO, the Constable or Officer must prove themselves to be excellent individuals in the Bretonian community as well as the BPA as a whole. AFOs are expected to act with maturity and restraint when using their weapons. Stray fire and play-shooting are discouraged, as these weapons are to be taken seriously.

A Hussar should only carry the following equipment in order to classify as unarmed: 1 Adv. Debilitator, 1 Train Cruise Disruptor, 1 Counter Measure.

'''Duties:''' Scanning traders for contraband, protecting civilians and allies against pirates and terrorists, assisting the Armed Forces when needed.

'''[[Zone_Of_Interest|Zone of Interest]]'''
*All Bretonian systems ([[New London]], [[Cambridge]], [[Manchester]], [[Leeds]], [[Edinburgh]], [[Newcastle]], [[Dublin]])
*Systems claimed by the Crown ([[Inverness]], [[Chester]], [[Dundee]], [[Salisbury]]) (only under certain circumstances)
*The BPA home system ([[Poole]])

==Synopsis==
As the name states, the [[Bretonia Police Authority|Bretonia Police Authority (BPA)]] is the official police force within the [[Bretonia|Bretonian nation]].

Widely held to be a bastion of justice throughout Sirius, the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is respected by friends and foes alike. It is responsible for the public safety of all [[Bretonia|Bretonian]] citizens and foreign visitors, provided that they are not hostile towards [[Bretonia]], it's allies, or itself. Typical tasks include scanning [[transports]] for [[contraband]], collecting fines, and operating the important [[Nomad Transportation Licensure Board]]. As [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] constables are also responsible for the safety of the public, they will engage pirates, terrorists, and other enemies only when they are a threat to them and the public.

The [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is a lawful, police faction, with certain distinct differences with the lawful, [[Bretonia Armed Forces]] (BAF) faction.

Unlike the [[Bretonia Armed Forces|BAF]], which is aggressively dedicated to the defense of [[Bretonia]] from external powers, such as the [[Kusari Naval Forces]], the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is not interested in such matters. In fact, pursuing these matters is completely out of it's jurisdiction. The [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is dedicated to the defense of [[Bretonia]] from within. The primary concern is that Bretonia does not break down from rampant crime within while the nation is subjected to multiple attacks every day from [[Kusari|Kusarianese]] Forces.

Thus, the BPA has a [[Zone_Of_Interest|Zone of Interest]] that is restricted to Bretonian space. Only when escorting [[VIPs]] will the BPA temporarily leave Bretonia space for a [[Border Worlds|Border World]] system.

Due to the confrontation with more and more criminals piloting [[capital ships]] and the [[Bretonia Armed Forces|Armed Forces]] being occupied in the Kusari-war, the BPA under former Commissioner Sir Alan Lauderdale created a special sub-division within itself: the Special Response Division (SRD). The SRD consists of a team of [[Challenger]] pilots, acting as the ultima ratio when the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is confronted with [[capital ships|capital vessels]].

Also, partially due to the Tau-31 Blockade, the BPA was and is confronted with violent smugglers and blockade runners on a daily base. In [[Timeline of Sirius history|816 A.S.]] it was decided to fight fire with fire and the Commerce Control Division (CCD) was introduced by former Commissioner Joshua Cooper. CCD Captains are senior BPA pilots, entrusted with a [[Freighters|freighter]] or [[Transports|transport]] class ship, able to oppose hostile transports and seizing illegal cargo.

==Organization==
'''Chain of Command'''

''Police Commissioner''

The supreme leader of the BPA, the Police Commissioner, is responsible for the actions of the BPA in general, as well as the distribution of tasks to lower ranked constables.

''Chief Constables''

There are a total of five section chiefs and equivalents who are Chief Constables in command of those particular regions. In those areas, the Chief Constable's Jurisdiction is supreme, excluding the Leeds-Newcastle Sectional Chief who shares authority with the BAF in Leeds. Chief Constables in other Chief Constable's regions are subject to the authority of the home Chief Constable.
The Chief Constables are: the New London Metropolitan Section Chief, the Leeds-Newcastle Sectional Chief, the Warden of Newgate, the Sheriff of Edinburgh, the Cambridge Section Chief and the Dublin BPA-BAF Liaison Officer.

''Commanders''

The most loyal, devoted and skillful constables of the BPA rank Commanders. They have a certain authority over lower ranked constables and are a welcomed sight throughout the realm.

''Captains''

When an officer is known to have leading qualities, has served the BPA for a remarkable amount of time and shows exceptional responsibility and seriousness in duty, he is promoted to Captain rank.

''Senior Constables''

Senior Constables are experienced pilots who have spend a longer amount of time in the BPA. They are entrusted with more important tasks and are expected to serve as guides and paragons for other constables.

''Constables''

Constables are the firm base of BPA pilots. They are taking care of the every-day work in Bretonia and can, as AFO-licensed, assist the BAF in combat.

''Junior Constables''

Junior Constables are fresh recruits, and pilots without AFO license. After a certain time in training on patrols, the Junior Constable will be promoted to Constable rank and receive his or her AFO license.

'''AFO Policy'''

Weapons of lethal nature should not be used by the BPA. The BPA is a peace-keeping police force, and intends to respond to actions in a peaceful manner.
It is recognized, however, that certain individuals do not possess the same dignity or respect for human life as the BPA. As a result, Constables and Officers alike can apply to become AFOs, or Authorized Firearms Officers, and mount weapons and nuclear mines.
Regardless of status, however, all Constables should have some ability to disrupt tradelanes in order to apprehend fleeing criminals. As a result, Non-AFO Constables and Junior Constables may mount one Adv. Debilitator(Available on Planet Leeds) to assist in the disruption of tradelanes.

In order to become an AFO, the Constable or Officer must prove themselves to be excellent individuals in the Bretonian community as well as the BPA as a whole. AFOs are expected to act with maturity and restraint when using their weapons. Stray fire and play-shooting are discouraged, as these weapons are to be taken seriously.

A Hussar should only carry the following equipment in order to classify as unarmed: 1 Adv. Debilitator, 1 Train Cruise Disruptor, 1 Counter Measure.

==Used equipment==
'''Weapons and mountings'''

[[Bretonia|Bretonian]] and [[Civilian]] equipment and weapons only.

'''Ships'''
*[[Hussar]]
*[[Paladin]] (AFO-licensed members only)
*[[Challenger]] (Special Response Division members only)
*[[Armored Transport]] (Commerce Control Division members only)
*[[Clydesdale]] (Commerce Control Division members only)

==Naming convention==
*BPA)GivenName.LastName (for individual constables, e.g. ''BPA)John.Doe'' )
*BPA)GivenNameInitial.Lastname[SRD (for Special Response Division bomber pilots, e.g. ''BPA)J.Doe[SRD'' )

Bretonia Police Authority (player faction)

2008-06-22T14:59:28Z

Sleipnir:

This page contains information about the [[Player Factions|player faction]]. For the NPC faction, see [[Bretonia Police Authority]].
==Overview==
'''Tag:''' Bretonia Police Authority

'''ID:''' Bretonia Police Authority ID

'''Duties:''' Scanning traders for contraband, protecting civilians and allies against pirates and terrorists, assisting the Armed Forces when needed.
==Description==
As the name states, the [[Bretonia Police Authority]] is the official police force within the [[Bretonia|Bretonian nation]].

Widely held to be a bastion of justice throughout Sirius, the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is respected by friends and foes alike. It is responsible for the public safety of all [[Bretonia|Bretonian]] citizens and foreign visitors, provided that they are not hostile towards [[Bretonia]], it's allies, or itself. Typical tasks include scanning [[transports]] for [[contraband]], collecting fines, and operating the important [[Nomad Transportation Licensure Board]]. As [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] constables are also responsible for the safety of the public, they will engage pirates, terrorists, and other enemies only when they are a threat to them and the public.

The [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is a lawful, police faction, with certain distinct differences with the lawful, [[Bretonia Armed Forces]] faction, [[Queen Carina's Royal Fleet]].

Unlike the [[Queen Carina's Royal Fleet|QCRF]], which is aggressively dedicated to the defense of [[Bretonia]] from external powers, such as the [[Kusari Naval Forces]], the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is not interested in such matters. In fact, pursuing these matters is completely out of it's jurisdiction. [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is dedicated to the defense of [[Bretonia]] from within. The primary concern is that [[Bretonia]] does not break down from rampant crime within while the nation is subjected to multiple attacks every day from [[Kusari|Kusarianese]] Forces.

Thus, the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] has a [[Zone of interest|Zone of Interests]] that is restricted to [[Bretonia]]n space. Only when escorting [[VIPs]] will the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] temporarily leave [[Bretonia]] space for a [[Border Worlds|Border World]] system.

Due to the confrontation with more and more criminals piloting [[capital ships]] and the [[Bretonia Armed Forces|Armed Forces]] being occupied in the Kusari-war, the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] has created a special sub-division within itself: the Special Response Division (SRD). The division consists of a team of [[Challenger]] pilots, acting as the ultima ratio when the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is confronted with [[capital ships|capital vessels]].

Suggestions?

[[User:Sovereign|Sovereign]] 05:05, 27 May 2008 (GMT)

Is Coronado considered Liberty? Its a way into Liberty, but it only links through Cortez, and is named accordingly for independent worlds. I'm going to pull it off the list, if you think otherwise we can discuss this and figure it out.

Also, is Puerto Rico, the Junker Guard system, considered part of Liberty?

[[User:Sovereign|Sovereign]] 20:12, 27 May 2008 (GMT)

As for Puerto Rico, I am pretty sure it does not belong to Liberty. A guard system is owned by the residing faction - and the Junkers are not (only) Liberty citizen.

As for Coronado, I thought it'd be belong to Liberty (due to the name), hence my edit. I'm not sure about it though. Best would be to get Igiss' knowledge on that part

Mates, an important matter, since Praetyre re-corrected the capitals for "System".
I think it should either be capitalized for '''all''' articles or left lower case for all articles. Currently, it is capitalized, as in [[New York System]]. It should be the same for all systems, it'll look quite strange otherwise. Please discuss.

Liberty also contains a significant amount of [[Outcasts]] and [[Lane Hackers]] on the border areas, as well as being the home of the [[Junkers]].

==Overview==
'''Tag:''' Bretonia Police Authority

'''ID:''' Bretonia Police Authority ID

'''Duties:''' Scanning traders for contraband, protecting civilians and allies against pirates and terrorists, assisting the Armed Forces when needed.
==Description==
As the name states, the [[Bretonia Police Authority]] is the official police force within the [[Bretonia|Bretonian nation]].

Widely held to be a bastion of justice throughout Sirius, the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is respected by friends and foes alike. It is responsible for the public safety of all [[Bretonia|Bretonian]] citizens and foreign visitors, provided that they are not hostile towards [[Bretonia]], it's allies, or itself. Typical tasks include scanning [[transports]] for [[contraband]], collecting fines, and operating the important [[Nomad Transportation Licensure Board]]. As [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] constables are also responsible for the safety of the public, they will engage pirates, terrorists, and other enemies only when they are a threat to them and the public.

The [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is a lawful, police faction, with certain distinct differences with the lawful, [[Bretonia Armed Forces]] faction, [[Queen Carina's Royal Fleet]].

Unlike the [[Queen Carina's Royal Fleet|QCRF]], which is aggressively dedicated to the defense of [[Bretonia]] from external powers, such as the [[Kusari Naval Forces]], the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is not interested in such matters. In fact, pursuing these matters is completely out of it's jurisdiction. [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is dedicated to the defense of [[Bretonia]] from within. The primary concern is that [[Bretonia]] does not break down from rampant crime within while the nation is subjected to multiple attacks every day from [[Kusari|Kusarianese]] Forces.

Sleipnir: /* Errors */

== Page intro ==

I removed the hint about where to seek for info on faction approval. Link is included below, and needs updating anyway, so for now I'd wish to control the issue manually.

Talk to me if you think that your faction got into the wrong category.

[[User:Igiss|Igiss]] 14:30, 16 May 2008 (GMT)

== Allied/neutral/enemy/etc. ==

I think the information about who is ally/enemy/neutral towards whom would be better placed on the pages of the factions themselves.

[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 08:05, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

Not sure about the format yet. Will add info from http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1304 to make this more precise.

[[User:Igiss|Igiss]] 12:21, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

Please have a look at [[Liberty Player Factions]] for a format proposal. I took the time to format the factions that were there into a sortable table.

I like the idea to put Affiliation there instead of Alignment, that would make the Outcasts/Corsairs easier to classify.

Is the list you put up composed of official factions only, or does it contain unofficials, too?

[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 08:40, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

Table is better. But I'd suggest to add a new page for it like [[Factions Table]] to keep the current list. We (admins) may have certain use for it later.

Also, separate page with table will allow to make it all sortable (include all 32 factions without separating them into houses).

I'd suggest the following table column order: Name, Tag, Affiliation, Home system, Description. Area is nice, but won't work for Hispania factions (which are not only in Hispania) and for factions like Junkers, Zoners etc.

Reference info for official factions is here: http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7453 most current. I used only factions listed on this page.

[[User:Igiss|Igiss]] 12:49, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

Having the data redundant is a bad idea, I think, because in the long run, updates won't be done in both. That will either leave one massively outdated and the other one current (better case) or both in a very inconsistent state (worst case).

About the columns, those seem good, I'll update the pages as soon as I find the time.

[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 09:01, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

How do you put the time stamp here? :)

Anyway, the list of approved factions is quite consistent, and admins would probably prefer to update it on forums instead of here. So, there will be a slight delay anyway. If the table will be compiled, it can be used as the main resource for factions, while my list will be used as backup (possibly for adding more info/admin notes). I'll just move current Player Factions to a new location, then move [[Factions Table]] to [[Player Factions]].

Also I'd propose to remove links for NPC factions (if I'm not mistaken, they are placed in the "description" column, right?), most probably no one would ever add any detailed info on those.

[[User:Igiss|Igiss]]

I just sign with 4 tildes (~) and the wiki fills in the rest. :)

NPC factions should get their own pages. They will probably be quite short, but that shouldn't stop us from adding them. After all, there is the page Defender (original), which is mostly interesting for people who don't use Discovery or who want to compare it with the Discovery version. I'm on the 'Wikipedia is not paper' side in this case.

http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7453 - if faction's not here, then it's not official.
So no, all those should be moved to player groups.

No reason to create separate pages for systems.

And not the best idea to put descriptions that would appear longer than 1 line for 1280x1024 monitor (which is about 90 symbols).

Otherwise looks good.

[[User:Igiss|Igiss]] 12:12, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

One more thing (a bit offtopic for this talk section, but anyway): can we just remove the "system, house" part of the system column? Would be shorter, more understandable, and it's clear to which region the systems belong anyway.

Mandalorians are part of "others" group.

[[User:Igiss|Igiss]] 12:15, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

I think I stated it before, I'd like the description to be empty all the time, and have the information on the page of the faction. The description here is just 'inherited' with the merge and by no means my work. Just didn't want to loose something.

About 'System, Hose' (sp?) - you're right, we can just put the system there. But I'd be happy to see systems to have a page, or maybe have the link lead to a map. That would especially help newbies.

[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 12:31, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

Description might be a few brief words on what the faction is. Like, if it's invite-only or has some special status (oldest faction on server? most numerous? etc).

Meant "system, house". Systems shouldn't have pages. I cannot allow to post system maps anywhere except for specific RP/event needs.

[[User:Igiss|Igiss]] 12:57, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

Ok, then the links should be removed. Either you do it, or I'll do when I do another change of the page.

[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 13:07, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

You may. Also, I've added an entry to your talk - can we transfer factions in the same table format? to create a single table for all player groups.

I'll get to deleting unneeded pages sometime later. At work, busy.

[[User:Igiss|Igiss]] 13:09, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

I've noticed your entry while already changing the format of [[Player Groups]]. Now it's possible to transfer a group to factions by just cut-and-paste, or create a complete table by appending them to each other.

Deletions don't have to be fast, because there might be people who object the deletion. Just take your time :)

[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 13:44, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

I think there is quite an important issue, concerning official factions:

Igiss, the thread you linked above has not been updated since September, last year. Since then, multiple factions have been "approved by Admins" (it was called that way) and have been added to the Faction Status Thread. Clearance on this issue is important, since, according to your defintion, a lot of factions that think they are official (e.g. BPA) basically are wrong.

I posted in the Wiki thread on the Discovery forums as well, regarding this subject: [http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=12931&view=findpost&p=249649]

--[[User:Sleipnir|Sleipnir]] 20:34, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

Replied on forums.

I'll get admin(s) there, hopefully including AC_Merc, so that they could edit the list themselves. Not going to trust players in what factions to consider official or not. Sorry.

[[User:Igiss|Igiss]] 07:26, 15 May 2008 (GMT)

I went ahead and posted the LPI application to that thread of AC's, hopefully that will get resolved soon.
[[User:Boss|Boss]] 19:26, 15 May 2008 (GMT)

I see your point Igiss, thanks a lot for adressing the issue, it was confusing me pretty much.

--[[User:Sleipnir|Sleipnir]] 20:39, 15 May 2008 (GMT)

==Errors==

Uh, guys, [LPI] is the unofficial group (that a lot of people loathe, I might add), LPI- is the official faction. Check the faction status thread, which is what I go by, since the other thread never gets updated.

Also, the NovaPG are now an unoffical group and have been replaced with Hideyoshi's Guard, [HG].

I'll go ahead and do these updates if nobody minds, since they can get confusing really fast.

Say, I suggest we put someone in charge of keeping Wiki factions up to date. I'll take the mantle if nobody objects, I've gotten myself immersed in forum politics and troll the place all the time, so I know what's going on.

Humbly yours,
[[User:Sovereign|Sovereign]] 02:00, 27 May 2008 (GMT)

Just saw that BPA) is listed in both, the [[Player Factions]] and the [[Player Groups]]. It should only be listed on one page and not both. Since Igiss said that even official factions require to be listed in the Quick Reference Guide on the forums, elgato will be adding the BPA's post there soon. By then, it should be only on the Factions page and deleted on the Groups page.

I think the information about who is ally/enemy/neutral towards whom would be better placed on the pages of the factions themselves.

[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 08:05, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

Not sure about the format yet. Will add info from http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1304 to make this more precise.

[[User:Igiss|Igiss]] 12:21, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

Please have a look at [[Liberty Player Factions]] for a format proposal. I took the time to format the factions that were there into a sortable table.

I like the idea to put Affiliation there instead of Alignment, that would make the Outcasts/Corsairs easier to classify.

Is the list you put up composed of official factions only, or does it contain unofficials, too?

[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 08:40, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

Table is better. But I'd suggest to add a new page for it like [[Factions Table]] to keep the current list. We (admins) may have certain use for it later.

Also, separate page with table will allow to make it all sortable (include all 32 factions without separating them into houses).

I'd suggest the following table column order: Name, Tag, Affiliation, Home system, Description. Area is nice, but won't work for Hispania factions (which are not only in Hispania) and for factions like Junkers, Zoners etc.

Reference info for official factions is here: http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=7453 most current. I used only factions listed on this page.

[[User:Igiss|Igiss]] 12:49, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

Having the data redundant is a bad idea, I think, because in the long run, updates won't be done in both. That will either leave one massively outdated and the other one current (better case) or both in a very inconsistent state (worst case).

About the columns, those seem good, I'll update the pages as soon as I find the time.

[[User:Nodwick|Nodwick]] 09:01, 14 May 2008 (GMT)

How do you put the time stamp here? :)

Anyway, the list of approved factions is quite consistent, and admins would probably prefer to update it on forums instead of here. So, there will be a slight delay anyway. If the table will be compiled, it can be used as the main resource for factions, while my list will be used as backup (possibly for adding more info/admin notes). I'll just move current Player Factions to a new location, then move [[Factions Table]] to [[Player Factions]].

Also I'd propose to remove links for NPC factions (if I'm not mistaken, they are placed in the "description" column, right?), most probably no one would ever add any detailed info on those.

[[User:Igiss|Igiss]]

I just sign with 4 tildes (~) and the wiki fills in the rest. :)

NPC factions should get their own pages. They will probably be quite short, but that shouldn't stop us from adding them. After all, there is the page Defender (original), which is mostly interesting for people who don't use Discovery or who want to compare it with the Discovery version. I'm on the 'Wikipedia is not paper' side in this case.
