First Imperial Docking Procedure.

[RIP Carlyle Rausgeber]

In the aftermath of the hot mess which was the Yalara Heist thread, I think it's important to have a standardised docking procedure, and this thread will hopefully act to out line it.

Here is my draft for it:

The first act for any unaccounted vessel is for it to transmit to the fleet above the planet the ships name, registration, cargo, destination and purpose for being on the planet.

If the fleet is satisfied with the excuse, it allows the ship to land. If not, then the ship is boarded, its crew detained.

Once on the planet, ships have to undergo extensive inspection. This is lead by dirtside naval personnel and half a platoon Planetary Defence Force personnel then inspect the ship. The crew are then asked to declare any possibly illegal items, which will be taken without any punitive punishment. After the crew are hauled out and searched, half the platoon walk into ship. The other half ensure the crew don't run.

The crew inside search for biological contaminants, contraband materials and other illegal items. If there are any found, the ships crew are arrested, and immediately questioned, and dependent on the answers.

If everything passes the inspection protocol, then the crew are allowed to go about their business.

Most ships that are coming to a planet would already have a pre-arranged reason, I.E, cargo ships and military ships would already be registered with the order and would transmit their landing code. Example being, in Rogue One when the Rebels got onto Scarif.

If they're not scheduled, then they are inspected.

He's right.

Most offical ships would be given clearance codes to match with a planet and if they don't match then yeah, they get boarded. Not to say we can't tighten security but yeah, just a thought.

At least how I assumed it worked.

So I've got an idea for a ship but it's not formal yet. Shall I wait until the thread starts and just tell you then? [member="Carlyle Rausgeber"]

I think the point he's trying to make is that we need to have some standard Protocols defined, so that if people are wanting to play it legit, it allows for a more complete story rather than simply saying "Yep you're on the roster or No you're not". I can see that people might do this OOC anyway during a thread, but having a clear set of procedures might be some fun flavor to add as opposed to the standard "We detected a 'suspicious' vessel" etc.
