Engineering SOP

Starlight Engineering SOP

Power Generation

1. Non-atmospheric engineering personnel must set up the AME and/or attach the solar network before moving to other power sources. Failure to do so will be considered grounds for immediate dismissal.

2. The tesla ball, singularity, and supermatter crystal may not be started without explicit permission from the Chief Engineer.

3. The supermatter crystal's chamber must incorporate an emergency venting system to reduce the pressure in the chamber to 0 kpa in the event of a potential delamination.

4. Atmospheric personnel may start the TEG and/or supermatter crystal after both the distribution and waste air lines are completed.

Station Damage

1. Damage to the Bridge, Evac, Arrivals, and Secure Areas should be prioritized for repairs. Following these areas is the Medical and Security departments.

2. Should repairs be required with no appropriate personnel around, engineering personnel may hack doors to repair the area. These doors must be returned to their original condition once repairs are complete.

3. Should no station damage be present, Engineers may take on solo projects, reconstructions, or shuttle building.

4. Security should be contacted to establish a perimeter around especially damaged areas of the station.

Chief Engineer

1. The Chief Engineer is responsible for training, or assigning trainers to any Technical Assistants on shift.

2. The Chief Engineer must ensure an advanced station engine (Singularity, TEG, Supermatter, Tesla) has been set up before moving on to other matters.

3. The Chief Engineer must ensure that the atmospheric distribution and waste networks are set up properly and turned on at the start of shift.

4. The Chief Engineer is responsible for the operation and integrity of all station engines. Catastrophic engine failure will be considered grounds for immediate dismissal.

5. The Chief Engineer is responsible for the maintenance of the Station's Atmospherics System. Catastrophic failure of these systems will be considered grounds for immediate dismissal.

6. Should an area of the station become too damaged to repair fully, the Chief Engineer may declare the area condemned, and prohibit access to the area permanently.

7. The Chief Engineer is solely responsible for distributing building permits to station crew. Those found building without a permit shall be found guilty of Vandalism or Damage of Property.

8. The standard Command SOP applies.

Atmospheric Technician

1. Atmospheric Technicians report directly to the Chief Engineer.

2. Atmospheric Technicians must set up the distribution and waste gas systems before moving onto other matters. Failure to do so will be considered grounds for immediate dismissal.

3. Atmospheric Technicians should prioritize atmospheric emergencies over station integrity. Atmospheric technicians may assist engineering in their duties if no atmospheric emergencies are present.

4. Atmospheric Technicians may not retrieve the axe from its case unless their life is under threat, or entry to a crisis location is required.

5. Atmospheric Technicians are permitted to assist in the creation of specialized areas for non-human crew members with special atmospheric requirements.

6. Atmospheric Technicians must check on the TEG, Supermatter, and atmospheric alerts console every 30 minutes or less.

7. Any mention of "independence" or "Atmosia" shall be grounds for immediate contract termination.

Station Engineer

1. Station Engineers report directly to the Chief Engineer.

2. Station Engineers must construct the AME and/or solar network before moving onto permanent station engines.

3. Station Engineers must establish permanent station power before moving on to other duties, or confirm Atmospheric Technicians have established permanent power.

4. Station Engineers must check the singularity, tesla ball, and power monitoring computer every 30 minutes or less.

5. It is recommended that at least one Station Engineer remain in the department during non-emergencies to assist other crew members and respond to potential department emergencies.

Technical Assistant

1. Technical Assistants report to their trainer and the Chief Engineer.

2. Technical Assistants must travel with another member of the Engineering department at all times.

3. Once trained, Technical Assistants may perform simple duties such as setting up of the AME or deploying of solar panels.

4. Technical Assistants may assist in any normal station repairs, but must be closely supervised during any power generation duties.

5. In emergencies, Technical Assistants may perform simple repairs without supervision.

6. Technical Assistants may not make major station renovations or changes without direct supervision.
