The Police

Crime is a serious business. It's serious, and it's a business.

Police patrol craft and reputable space stations detect and judge any crimes that occur in their sector using a complex array of cameras and intelligent systems. Assaulting ships, destroying or ejecting lifepods, murder, demanding money with menaces and other crimes are automatically logged to a public database called the central criminal computer. The system can detect crime but not enforce it and it is the job of the police, or an independent crime fighter, to locate or track down all offenders.

The Flatspace police are always on the look out for recruits. Purchase a police vessel to join the police force. Your local police station has lots more information for the budding detective. A list of the most wanted criminals is normally displayed for the general public to browse. A pilot may also view his or her criminal record and is offered the chance to repay any debt to society in cash.

Flatspace law makes attacking and killing any criminal legal. The system ensures that bounties are paid directly to anyone who captures or kills a criminal. The police and bounty hunters often use stun weapons to persuade criminals to surrender before transporting them to the nearest police station to claim a reward. Needless to say, attacking any innocent ship is a serious crime and it is important to be sure who is innocent and who is guilty.

Pirates

Some individuals profit from violence and will attack anyone in the hope of scoring a lucky bounty kill, or in order to plunder any cargo expelled from their victim. A few pirate captains adhere to the unwritten pirates code. This ancient creed states that a pirate will not attack another pirate, and that a pirate will come to the aid of another in distress. Not all pirates are so noble, many are brutes or maniacs with no honour or respect for any code or law.

Outlaws can expect little mercy from the police. The brutal nature of justice in the Flatspace galaxy means that criminals are wary of starting trouble near police stations. Conversely, unregulated sectors are often dangerous places to visit.
