= Starlight Engineering SOP =


The responsibilities of the Engineering Department includes:
== 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.


- Power generation
2. The tesla ball, singularity, and supermatter crystal may not be started without explicit permission from the Chief Engineer.
- Atmospherics control
- Repair station damage
- Additional constructions


# Initial Setup
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.


The start of the shift is the main time for engineering to shine as multiple things have to be done at the same time which are station critical, which are Power Generation and Atmospherics Control.
4. Atmospheric personnel may start the TEG and/or supermatter crystal after both the distribution and waste air lines are completed.  


## Power Generation
== 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.


1. AME shall set up first, sometimes even before gearing up
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.
2. After AME setup, either a Singularity or Tesla can be built, depending on the station layout
3. Turning off AME


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


1. Main air supply generation as primary responsibility
4. Security should be contacted to establish a perimeter around especially damaged areas of the station.
2. Air exhaust/waste should be set up afterwards, filtered or unfiltered


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


All Members of the Engineering Department are surmised here under the term Engineer
2. The Chief Engineer must ensure an advanced station engine (Singularity, TEG, Supermatter, Tesla) has been set up before moving on to other matters.


- Damages on the Bridge and Evac are to be treated as high priority, followed by Medical and Security.
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.


- Engineers are permitted to hack doors to gain unauthorized access to locations if said locations happen to require urgent repairs
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.


- Engineers are permitted to carry out solo reconstruction/rebuilding/personal projects if there is no damage to the station that requires fixing
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.


- The station safety and appearance can be improved by installing additional lights. While Janitorial replaces broken lightbulbs, Engineering can quickly install a whole wall socket including bulb with the RCD tool
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.


# Roles
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.


The roles are in a hierarchical order, from top to bottom:
8. The standard Command SOP applies.


1. Chief Engineer
== Atmospheric Technician ==
2. Atmospheric Technician
1. Atmospheric Technicians report directly to the Chief Engineer.
3. Station Engineer
4. Technical Assistant


Atmospheric Technicians include the duties of a Station Engineer. But in case there is atmospheric work to be done, their specialization has priority
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.


## Technical Assistant
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.


The Technical Assistant, in the following abbreviated as TA, is the Assistant role equivalent of the Engineering Department
5. Atmospheric Technicians are permitted to assist in the creation of specialized areas for non-human crew members with special atmospheric requirements.


- The TAs primary responsibility is to learn
6. Atmospheric Technicians must check on the TEG, Supermatter, and atmospheric alerts console every 30 minutes or less.


- The TA shall be aware of the additional duties of being an engineer. As TAs often have been mere passengers in the past, they are used of free roaming. Now they are under the oversight of the engineering department
7. Any mention of "independence" or "Atmosia" shall be grounds for immediate contract termination.  


- TAs must remain with a Station Engineer or Atmospheric Technician at all times
== Station Engineer ==


- TAs may work alone in deploying solar panels if they are properly trained
1. Station Engineers report directly to the Chief Engineer.


- TAs may not remodel, rebuild or move major station components without engineer supervision
2. Station Engineers must construct the AME and/or solar network before moving onto permanent station engines.


- TAs are recommended to tell the department at every shift about their current training status. This includes their knowledge of being on a Space Station but also regarding their knowledge in engineering. This helps to train the TA better but also protects the TA from harsh treatment
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.


## Station Engineer
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.


The Station Engineer, in the following abbreviated as Engineer, is the general role of the Engineering Department
== Technical Assistant ==


- Engineers must properly activate and wire the AME at the start of the shift, before any other actions are undertaken
1. Technical Assistants report to their trainer and the Chief Engineer.


- Engineers handle the initial power setup of Singularity or Tesla and are advised to ask the CE for their preference
2. Technical Assistants must travel with another member of the Engineering department at all times.


- One Engineer should be at the Engineering front desk at all times. It is also advised that this person is supervising the monitors of engineering and handles status updated for the engineering departments
3. Once trained, Technical Assistants may perform simple duties such as setting up of the AME or deploying of solar panels.


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


The Atmospheric Technician, in the following abbreviated as Atmos, is the specialized role of the Engineering Department
5. In emergencies, Technical Assistants may perform simple repairs without supervision.


- An Atmos must properly set up before these doing anything else:
6. Technical Assistants may not make major station renovations or changes without direct supervision.
 
  - the air distribution network and
  - the air exhaust/waste
 
- Atmos should build a TEG or a SM if reasonable possible on the station and within the capabilities of the Atmos
 
 
## Chief Engineer
 
The Chief Engineer, in the following abbreviated as CE, is the command role of the Engineering Department
 
- The Chief Engineer handles the initial setup of power generation and air management
 
    Depending on the performance of his staff, they can choose different approaches:
 
    - They can instruct the team from the bridge, monitoring the team via the console
    - They can supervise the setup in person
    - They can work together with their team to ensure a correct setup
    - They have to do the tasks by themselves
 
    The CE as a commander, is advised to guide their team verbally. In case the team cannot perform the setup in a timely manner, the CE is recommended to solve the problems first hand
