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 This order is rescinded in time of war in light of the lengthy time to reload ordnance.

Berlin IIS: 6 Exocet, 12 Eagles, 30 Hornet-C, 90 Mosquito-B.
Berlin IIM: 13 Exocet, 30 Eagle.
Surigao: 5 Hornet-C, 30 Mosquito-B.
Samar II: 25 Hornet-C, 10 Mosquito-B.
Capetown: 10 Eagles.
Capetown B: 13 Eagles, 1 Hornet-C.

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.

UNIN

-------CURRENT ACTIVE ORDERS-------- To: GFTF From: UNGF Command Subject: Additional Infantry Training

Upon completion of the currently ordered engineering brigades, begin training of a further 12 battalions of Mobile Infantry, using cadres whenever possible.

MEDAL In addition, recognition of the fine legacy of those who have given their lives in the service of the United Nations will awarded to all family members and students of fallen officers (rerolled characters) as the UNIN Legacy award worth 25 PP.

To: UNS Aristarchus From: UNIN Intelligence Subject: MINOTAUR Tracking

In anticipation of the deployment of survey vessels and commercial ships into Klondike-Kagayan, you are ordered to take your ship into K2 - accelerating at 2000 kps until reaching 500million km from ACROPOLIS (Klondike-VI), then slowing to 500kps for close approach until MINOTAUR is detected. Once MINOTAUR is detected, hold position along a DDL between the hostile task group and the Sol Jump Point under emission control. Report all alien movement.

To: WAYFARER From: UNIN Survey Re: Batavia (SAFEWAY)

Minesweeping Protocol is as follows:

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 until the body or point in question is verified to to not have mines present in orbit.

To: WATCHTOWER From: UNIN Subject: Operation FALSE TRAIL

Upon completion of the MIND gate, UNS Edwin Armstrong should transit and form up with WATCHTOWER 2, currently in Roanoke. In the event of MIND transit, WATCHTOWER 2 will wait for the Giza to orient itself, and then depart at 2512kps for the Uwazi jump point in forward escort formation. WATCHTOWER 1 should follow the gateship through and form up in standard side escort formation. Should the gateship not transit into Roanoke, WATCHTOWER 2 will hold position while Edwin Armstrong departs for Uwazi to assist exploration there. Should the gateship transit but break for the Sol jump point, WATCHTWOER will form up to escort it, with Armstrong departing for Uwazi. In all cases, UNS Samar will remain as picket for the Hakahaka-Roanoke jump gate. In every case other than escorting the Giza, Armstrong should travel at maximum speed.

To: WAYFARER, Uwazi Station From: UNIN Ops Subject: Batavia/SCYLLA

The presence of SCYLLA in the Batavia system represents a clear threat to further operations in that system. As such, and in light of your overextended fuel supplies and maintenance clocks, UNIN will be withdrawing from Uwazi for the time being. UNS Turing will transit back Caloocan and Boomtown and return to transit them into Roanoke. UNS Turing will then travel to the unexplored jump points within Uwazi in order to pull astrographic data, once it has begun these surveys, UNS Shambhala will complete its current survey and head for the Roanoke Jump Point for the journey home. All ships will return to Sol for repair, overhaul, and leave.

To: BuTrain From: UNGF Command Re: Further Training

Upon completion of our run of Mobile Infantry, UNIN has requested training of 4 Reserve (Replacement) battalions to streamline our ground logistics. These units should be drawn solely from new recruits, with an emphasis on UNIN initiatives in Africa and Southern Europe as part of an operation to train officers from these nations in TN Logistics and Supply capability.

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.
