Standing Orders
--------CURRENT STANDING ORDERS--------
MAD:
If the Federation launches any form of attack on Earth Surface targets that isn't purely ground troops, open fire will all UN PDCs on Federation PDCs, evenly splitting all missiles and/or cannons. If we have meson cannons left over after their own platforms are dust, take care of other threats and finally their shipyards.
Standard Cruising Speed is currently set at 2500 kps for UN warships, this speed will be used if no orders to the contrary are given.
Resupply Whenever present at a depot containing sufficient fuel, maintenance supplies, or ordnance to reload or resupply, UN warships will do so. This order is rescinded in time of war in light of the lengthy time to reload ordnance.
Gibraltar: 76x Denel SSM-13A "Harrier" ASM Berlin IIM: 37x Denel SSM-13A "Harrier" ASM Berlin IIS: 180x 35x MBDA SVM-6D "Hornet-D" Multipurpose Missile, 6x Denel SSM-13A "Harrier" ASM Capetown: 17x Denel SSM-11B "Eagle-B" ASM Samar IIb: 35x MBDA SVM-6D "Hornet-D" Multipurpose Missile Surigao: 35x MBDA SVM-6D "Hornet-D" Multipurpose Missile
Jump Point Protocol
1. Jump Tenders shall remain on Jump Points with their escorts, escorts to maintain active sensors unless directly ordered otherwise.
2. Survey Vessels will begin with a preliminary Astro-Survey and then a Geo Survey of nearby system bodies.
3. Jump Tenders should immediately return to their system of origin once escorts have cleared the immediate area to report safe transit and bring through survey vessels.
4. Following preliminary astro-survey results, tenders should jump back at least once every eight hours to maintain contact with Ragnarok Fleet Headquarters.
5. All transits into unsecured systems should be squadron transits, with squadrons to form up on the Jump Point after transit.
6. In case of contact, escorts are to defend the Tender to the best of their ability until a return jump can be effected. If at all possible, efforts to disguise the location of the Sol Jump Point should be taken.
Minesweeping
Activate active sensors. Approach to within 1m km of probable field location, slow to 500kps, and move in. If a mine is detected, halt and fire a single AMM at the mine. Repeat if mine is not destroyed. If an active attack is detected, full speed away while firing all AMMs at incoming ordnance.Continue sweeping the area.
General Order to Shipyards - Whenever not ordered to perform another activity, shipyards should undergo capacity expansion.
For BuOrd, with regard to Tranquility - When UNRL orders removal of ordnance production from Tranquility, shift production of any missiles ordered to Earth, leaving only completion of the currently produced missile, since this transfer will take little time.
Thebes Aliens In the event of alien transit into Hakahaka, all survey vessels, tenders, and non-warships in Hakahaka and the systems beyond are to be recalled into Roanoke.

From: UNIN
Subject: BLOODHOUND
Survey Craft are being retasked with operations in the Thebes system to determine the point of origin for the MIND. This operation is code named BLOODHOUND. This is a high risk hazard assignment, and is classified Magenta. BLOODHOUND will be enacted in three phases.
Phase 1: UNS Avalon, UNS El Dorado, and UNS Canela will begin preliminary grav-survey of the THEBES system. While present, ships will perform weekly data dumps to WATCHTOWER of all duty rosters, security data, and computer/sensor logs for analysis of possible MIND interference. This data will be compared to backups stored on WATCHTOWER and at Ragnarok Fleet Headquarters for any inconsistency.
Phase 2: Upon completion of the next generation survey craft, UNS Carl Sagan, jump capable survey vessels will deploy and begin scouting systems detected by BLOODHOUND 1. Emphasis will be placed on gated jump points, and systems deemed likely to house MIND elements.
Phase 3: Once a probable MIND jump path has been confirmed by BLOODHOUND 2, UNIN forward fleet elements will move in to secure the system for further survey and large scale military operations.

Re: Jamestown
Courier service is available to the Roanoke System, UNFI's premier team is therefore dispatched via UNIN fast courier to Jamestown. Disband UNFI Espionage Team, wait appropriate number of days, reform on Jamestown, similar to command changes in the Roanoke Command Area.
To: UNIN Ordnance Manufacturers From: BuOrd Re: Additional Ordnance Production
As we approach the end of our current missile production orders, UNIN has elected to extend production by the following amounts.
50% production - 750x Denel SSM-13A Harrier ASM 50% production - 300x MBDA SVM-6D Hornet-D Multipurpose Missile followed by
50% production 150x Denel SSM-11B Eagle-B ASM
Once Hornet and Eagle production is complete, that capacity will be redirected to completing the Harrier order.
These missiles will be used to rearm after LABYRINTH and will see use into the future. Despite the fact that we will be developing a long range size 6 missile, we will still have use for Harriers. The shorter ranged Harrier missiles can be used by our cruisers and monitors for JP defense and provide a harder hitting alternative to the Albratross missile. They can also be used to partially arm Masada bases on Luna where they may see use against Federation targets. The Eagle will be the standard weapon of the Cape Town class well into NIKE, since the Cape Town fire control tops out at 20m km and is not likely to be refit.
To: Earth-Luna Defense Command From: UNIN, BuOrd Re: Missile Complexes
The activation of our Masada class bases on Luna and the realities of the trans-newtonian age have rendered our original ICBM bases incapable of performing their original mission of providing MAD. It is the opinion of UNIN that these bases will no longer be capable to providing sufficient fire support to aid in any conflict against Federation defenses or external threat, and are hereby decommissioned.
All ordnance currently in use by these bases is also to be decommissioned and scrapped.
From: UNIN
To: THESEUS, UNS Berlin, UNS Edwin Armstrong
Re: War Plan Gold/LABYRINTH
In order to deal with both the threat from Roanoke and secure Klondike-Kagayan, UNIN has elected to redeploy the fleet to make best use of our forces and bring appropriate weight to bear on each hostile power.
RADM Chadwick will transfer her flag to UNS Minsk.
The 4 Berlin IIMs will detach from THESEUS as TG RAMPART and continue toward Roanoke. At the same time, UNS Berlin and UNS Armstrong will depart Callisto at maximum speed and rendezvous with RAMPART at which point the whole formation will accelerate to maximum speed and take up positions 15m km at bearing 0 from the jump terminus with active on.
The remainder of THESEUS will reroute to the Klondike-Kagayan JP and resume Operation LABYRINTH according to the original schedule of operations.

Re: Redeployment
UNS Parnassus will remain on station with the Federation Third Moskva Squadron to safeguard Hakahaka Gate. WATCHTOWER will move in system to rendezvous with UNS Bassae and serve as escort for Belnar vessels Order & Plenty and the vessel currently designated "Ecuador".
To: UNS Akrotiri
From: UNIN, BuOrd
Re: Berlin Rearmament
UNS Akrotiri will return to Earth, fill its magazines with Harrier and Hornet-D missiles, and depart for the Outer Solar system at maximum speed, with the intention of joining and updating the ordnance onboard UNS Berlin and UNS Budapest, in particular stocks of Exocet and Mosquito-B missiles, which should be removed and returned to Callisto for dis-assembly.
To: THESEUS 2, UNS Vancouver, UNS Kharkiv, UNS Tartu
From: VADM Bareilles, UNIN 1st Fleet
Re: LABYRINTH
Due to the ongoing negotiations with the Automatons, LABYRINTH has been placed on indefinite hold, as such, UNIN is retasking our Cape Town fast reaction groups to other duties. THESEUS 2 (here redesignated BARBICAN) will depart for the Roanoke JP at 3000 kps after detaching UNS Panay. UNS Panay will continue its previous orders and join up with THESEUS at the K2 JP. Upon completion of overhaul, BARBICAN will be joined by UNS Vancouver, UNS Kharkiv, and UNS Tartu, which will depart Callisto for rendevous with the main group at 3250 kps as overhauls are completed.
To: Volvo-SAAB Shipyard
From: Simon Waverly, BuShips
Re: Gora Freighters
Since the final refits will not be able to be completed until WATCHTOWER is relieved, BuShips requests that Volvo-SAAB assist in UNRL's scrapping of its obsolete Gora-class freighters.
General Order from BuShips
As a new naval shipyard has been authorized and is scheduled to come online within the next few days, BuShips is issuing a general instruction that it should begin capacity expansion immediately to bring it up to UNIN overall shipbuilding standards.
UNSA
NEW ORDERS AS OF 25 Sep 2037:
-All single lab projects are to continue as is.
-Once Rotenkian finishes Magazine feed tech he is to resume working on Missile agility 32.
-Once Scribbleykins finishes Active strength 16 he is to take one lab and begin work on Thermal sensor 6
-Scribbleykins 17 freed labs are to be transferred to CasinoV to work on Shipyard operations.
-To avoid delays in game progress any freed up lab capacity without a task specified is to be distributed amongst current projects with the projects with the most labs taking priority until the admin capacity of the leading scientist is maxed out, this continues until the freed capacity is all in use or all ongoing projects are at max capacity.
-As new labs complete construction or otherwise become available they are to be assigned to the project with the most labs currently assigned to it that has free admin capacity on its leading scientist.
UNIEB
UPDATED ORDERS 17 Jan 2037 (http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3474164&pagenumber=388#post436728353)
For Masada construction, it is easiest to simply post standing orders shipping the necessary minerals, pausing local industry and redirecting it to construction, and then switching back once the Masada is complete. UNIEB orders this to be done for the two Masada's to be shipped to and then built on Luna and the 1 for Callisto.

PRINCIPLES OF EXPLORATION
UNRL (commercial) ships are NOT to use these principles. They have been cancelled for UNRL. When left without any orders, please ask for guidance.
1) Gravsurvey vessels, on leaving port, should immediately head to the nearest system (as expressed in kilometres) in which there is an unexplored jump point or unsurveyed points to begin exploration.
1a) On entering an unexplored system, gravsurvey vessels are to do flybys of potentially habitable worlds to verify their colonisation status. If the gravsurvey vessel is equipped with a thermal sensor, it is to approach to within a million kilometres of that system's primary to verify the presence of any other vessels in the vicinity, if the system contains any worlds at all.
2) On completing a survey of a given system, if a gravsurvey vessel still has adequate mission time available, it is to head through the nearest unexplored jump point and commence a new survey.
2a) If an unexplored jump point is not available, it is to head to the nearest system with an unexplored point or the nearest system with unsurveyed points, whichever is closer.
3) Geosurvey vessels, on leaving port, are to head to the nearest unsurveyed or partly unsurveyed system containing worlds of colony cost 3 or lower which has been verified as empty by a gravsurvey vessel and commence operations.
3a) If such a system is not currently available, vessels are to head to the nearest empty system with unsurveyed bodies larger than asteroids.
4) Geosurvey vessels are not to survey asteroids or comets except in systems earmarked for colonisation.
4a) An exception to this can be made if there are no currently available unsurveyed systems, at which point the vessel will commence surveying the nearest belt.
5) On completion of a survey, a geosurvey vessel is to proceed as if it was leaving port from its present point.
6) All survey vessels are to return to port when under 30% of their fuel capacity.
7) Any of these principles can be overridden at any point by UNIN, UNRL, UNFRAD or UNCAO.
