Code	Crime	Description	Notes
601	Murder	To maliciously kill someone.	Punishment should fit the nature of both the crime and the criminal. Murder committed by temporary emotional distress, such as fear or anger, warrants lower punishments. Cyborg candidates must have brains fit to obey relevant laws. Life imprisonment is the most humane option for the insane who might malfunction as cyborgs. Important: Shadowlings and Changelings can be charged under this law due to do how their mechanics function. Unauthorised executions are classed as Murder.
602	Sexual Assault	To molest or otherwise sexually attack someone.	ERP scenes, regardless of OOC consent by all parties, is a violation of server rules, and worthy of a permanent ban. Adminhelp it if this happens to you or you see it; it's against server rules, not just station rules.
603	Attempted Murder	To use physical force against a person until that person is in a critical state with the apparent intent to kill them.	Remember, if a person attempts to render first aid after the victim falls into a critical state they may not have the intent to kill them.
606	Mutiny	To act individually, or as a group, to overthrow or subvert the established Chain of Command without lawful and legitimate cause.	Mutiny is not as clear cut as it may seem, there may be a legitimate reason for their actions, such as their head of staff being utterly incompetent. This is one of the few crimes where it is recommended to always seek a third party opinion. If their actions are determined to be for the betterment of Nanotrasen consider a timed sentence or even a full pardon.
607	Grand Sabotage	To engage in maliciously destructive actions, seriously threatening crew or station.	Bombing, arson, releasing viruses, deliberately exposing areas to space, physically destroying machinery, electrifying doors, or turning off the gravity generator all count as Grand Sabotage.
608	Grand Theft	To steal items of high value or sensitive nature.	Syndicate agents frequently attempt to steal cutting-edge technology. Examples include: intelligence or research samples, the Hand Teleporter, the Captain's Antique Laser, the Captain or the HoP's ID cards, or Mechs. This is by no means an exhaustive list of items that are high value to the syndicate; when in doubt use common sense when you see certain items that are stolen that can cause massive problems throughout the station. Remember if something is locked up in a secure area it probably should not be taken without prior permission.
609	Priority Threat Entity	To be found as a designated high priority threat to the station.	Entities of this nature currently include Changelings, Servants of Ratvar, Blood Cultists, Nuclear Operatives, Revolutionaries, Wizards, Vampires, Gangsters, Shadowlings, Abductors, Ashwalkers, Pirates, Ninjas, and Nightmares. Note that this is one of the few crimes where you may summarily execute someone for if they present a significant risk to detain them.

Modifiers & Special Situations

Situation	Description	Modification
Brainwashed	Prisoners found to have been brainwashed or converted by illegal means.	Prisoner is to be held until they can be returned to normal state. Immediate release following deconversion. Sole exception being Shadowling Thralls: If no reasonable way exists to save a thrall, then they may be executed and cloned as able.
Self Defense	Self Defense is defined as "The protection of oneself, the protection of thy colleagues, and the protection of thine workplace". Do note however that persons intentionally getting involved in fights which occur in a department that isn't theirs is an act of vigilantism, this is not permitted.	Immediate release.
Cooperation with prosecution or security	Being helpful to the members of security, revealing things during questioning or providing names of head revolutionaries.	-25% to sentence time. In the case of revealing a head revolutionary: Immediate release.
Surrender	Coming to the brig, confessing what you've done and taking the punishment. Getting arrested without putting a fuss is not surrender. For this, you have to come to the brig yourself.	-25% to sentence time, and should be taken into account when the choice between life in a secure cell, execution, and cyborgization is made.
Immediate threat to the prisoner	The singularity eats something near the brig, an explosion goes off, etc.	Officer must relocate the prisoner(s) to a safe location; otherwise, immediate release.
Medical reasons	Prisoners are entitled to medical attention if sick or injured.	Medical personnel can be called, or the prisoner can be escorted to the Medbay. The timer continues to run during this time.
Sparking a Manhunt	In addition to Resisting Arrest, a prisoner that must be chased for at least 2 minutes after an arrest is attempted can have their sentence increased.	1 minute added to their sentence for every 2 minutes the chase lasted.
Repeat Offender	If a convict reoffends after being released they may receive a harsher punishment. Depending on the severity of the crimes committed after the third, or even second, strike their sentence may be increased to Permanent Imprisonment.	Additional brig time.
Escape from Brig	If a prisoner flees confinement for any reason other than to escape impending lethal danger (fire, hull breach, murder), reset their timer to their full original punishment.	Reset timer.
Aiding and Abetting	Knowingly assisting a criminal is a crime. This includes but is not limited to: Interfering with an arrest, stealing a prisoner in transit, breaking a prisoner out of the brig/prison, hiding a fugitive, providing medical care (unless paired with a large dose of sleep toxins).	The same sentence as the original criminal.
Paying a Fine	Paying money to the arresting officer or their superior.	Reduction to sentence time. See "Fines within Space Law" for further details.
