 = Introduction=
 Whiterapids, the right arm of the Federation. They stand proud as the first proper federation military. They’re currently the main military force combating and defending against the Syndicate. Each piece of Whiterapids functions like a well oiled machine to do the most with as little as possible, a necessary act, due to it's hopelessly tiny budget. Whiterapids continues to prove themselves to be extraordinarily clever with resource management and tactics, always using the cutting edge of experimental technology to keep the enemy on their toes.

 =Organization=
 Whiterapids is organized in a roughly branch-like structure, mimicking [[Nanotrasen]]'s makeup in principle.

 ==Strategic Command==
 At the very top, is a semi-independent military tribunal called 'Strategic Command', staffed by anyone including company reps, the council of grand admirals, generals, centcom advisors and officials, etc. They are the cream of the crop, and
 are the ultimate deciders when it comes to Doctrine, Budget, Strategy, etc. They are in subordination to, and in direct contact with, central command, and often get their priorities dictated by them.
 ===Fleet Command ===
 A loose conglomerate of all admirals barring grand, in direct contact with the supply corps and personnel bureau so as to facilitate rapid resource reallocation. These are the main handy-men of the whiterapids navy. They are subdevided in 3 rough groups:
 *Whiterapids QRF; The 'quick response fleets' are allowed access to EAS, and the ability to go about their missions however they want for maximum flexibility. They are often single highly specialized ships that receive their orders directly from fleet/strategic command. To prevent loss of these crews, QRF uses a newly developed technique of making mass-backups regularly, and cloning them whenever they go down. A fact that has resulted in some VERY experienced crews, that are able to in some cases, staff entire ships with less than five people.
 * Whiterapids Attack Division; Here we find those fleets that are constantly on the offensive, often being recalled to change targets or refit their ships.
-* Whiterapids Defense Division; The saving grace, the defensive division is in charge of maintaining our front lines even if the attack and QRF divisions are out spearheading some insane offensive.

 ===Supply Corps===
 The logistical center point of Whiterapids. In charge of keeping everyone well fed and ships well maintained.
 ===Bureau of Personnel===
 Sentient resources, in effect. Handling all staffing across all of Whiterapids. In constant headache over QRF's propensity for mass-cloning, which muddles up staff records tremendously.
-=History=
+=History =
 Whiterapids was formed in response to the beginning of the second syndicate war. [[Solgov]] was not interested in fighting what amounts to a long war of attrition, and brought up the creation of a federation-wide naval force. Though their initial budget was less than stellar, [[Nanotrasen]] decided that it would be a great way to get their hands on their own navy, and discreetly flooded Whiterapids with bribes, personnel, resources, and money. This has resulted in a sort of split-allegiance of Whiterapids, where [[Solgov]] is getting concerned that [[Nanotrasen]] may be trying to bypass the regulations keeping them from building their own navy to overthrow them.

 *'''Watch Security:''' Double-check that security is complying with Space Law and Standard Operating Procedure. This means double-checking every sentence (both timed and perma) that security gives to prisoners, and verifying that they got the timer right. It also means making sure they don't violate it in other ways, such as harmbatoning prisoners. Bad behaviour by Security should be reported to the HOS. If they are not available, or do not listen, contact the XO.
-*'''Ascertain guilt or innocence.''' When a suspect is brought in, check the stories of officers. You may be able to convince them when they either have the wrong person or if they committed a lesser crime than thought. Ask the Detective for his forensics scanner to get physical evidence that supports your client ("your client" being any suspect brought in).

 The Staff judge advocate is tasked with the thankless job of providing legal aid to the crew. This tends to involve defending [[Traitor|Traitors]] in trials, suing [[Security Officer|Security]] or the [[Backstory#Nanotrasen|company]] or [[xenos|aliens]] or anyone else they can think of for endangering the crew. Other duties include hassling the [[Station Engineer|engineers]] and [[scientist]]s over health and safety violations, and general ambulance-chasing.

 Their main tasks on Whiterapids naval vessels are the following:

 SOP violations should be reported to the Head of Staff for the relevant department, and Space Law violations to Security. If the Head of Staff is not present or not receptive, contact the Executive Officer, failing that, take the matter to the highest rank; the Captain. SJA is a roleplay oriented job, and it requires that you either know SOP & Space Law well, or that you are willing to look it up often while playing. You are effectively much like a safety inspector/lawyer hybrid - you do inspections of ship departments and report your findings to their supervisors, as well as investigating matters that people report to you.

 == FAQs ==
 * '''How do I check a department is following SOP correctly?''' Pull up the wiki SOP page for that department's jobs, then check, for each item, whether or not it is being done. E.g. if the SOP for Medical Doctor requires they put synthflesh in the cloner, set up the cryo tubes, and label corpses, check that these things are being done. Then report any that are NOT done to their boss (the CMO).
-* '''What are the limits on what a SJA can do?''' SJAs cannot act against the ship's interests. So, they can't demand SOP be followed even if doing so would be against the ship's interests, e.g. during a major emergency. They are not allowed to do anyone else's job for them. They are not allowed to violate Space Law in any way. They cannot, in short, be detrimental to either the ship or to Whiterapids/Command overall.

-* '''What happens if a SJA abuses their authority?''' SJAs who are acting against the interests of the ship/Command can be demoted by the XO, or Captain. SJAs who break Space Law can additionally be arrested and brigged by Security. Admins hold SJA to a higher standard than most jobs, which means that an SJA who acts against the ship/Command's interests (e.g: seriously breaking Space Law) is likely to be banned from playing SJA.

 * '''Can command/sec ignore the SJA?''' In theory yes, but this should only be done if the SJA is (through their own lack of knowledge) demanding attention for a relatively small issue at a time when command/sec is busy dealing with a far more important matter. In that situation, the SJA should be told that sec/command is busy dealing with an emergency (and what the emergency is). Once they've been informed, they can be ignored until the emergency is over, at which point command/sec should come back and address the matter they raised. If an SJA refuses to stop demanding attention, even after they've already been told that command/sec is busy with a far more important matter, then you should carefully consider whether they're right, or they're being unreasonable, and potentially acting against the interests of the ship/command by distracting command/sec during a major emergency.

 You'll need to ingratiate yourself with Security personnel; otherwise your shift as Staff judge advocate will likely be fruitless and painful. You have virtually no physical power, but you can accumulate social power. Greet them when you first see them, use titles like "officer" when referring to them, say please and thank you, and generally try to roleplay a friendly fellow crew member. Don't let your speech imply authority, though: your Head is the XO, not the HoS. Make it clear that your function is to uphold justice, the welfare of your clients, and the good of the ship. Do not abuse your security headset or sec will at the least take it away or at the worst brig you for it AND take it away.
