The Svajone is a large space station that was salvaged by a group of Outversers in early 2650. It serves as a home for the largest known group of Outversers. It is currently located at:

• X: 8514607129365.6
• Y: -66225600007397.6
• Z: 28382400002584.4

Leadership

The station is ran by an elderly human Outverser named Mikage, serving as both station commander as well as the head of the Svajone's government. Top assistants and advisers to Mikage make up the upper echelons of the Svajone's leadership, collectively known as 'Svajone Command.' These leaders are tasked with diplomatic, cultural, legal, and military tasks of the Svajone.

Legal

In the interests of characters knowing what to expect on the Svajone, a sample of answers to the most common legal questions has been provided. An effort has been made to put this legal information in normal English, attempting to use this page to skirt the intent of the legal information provided may be hazardous.

Basic Legal Information

1. Terran Standard is the official language of government and business on the station. Note that this does not mean one is prohibited from speaking another language on the station, but rather states that those on the station have the right to be able to conduct any governmental or business transactions in Terran.
2. Citizens of the Svajone may carry weapons on board, so long as ranged weapons are kept 'two steps' from firing. (In a practical sense, this means it takes one round to prepare a legally maintained weapon to be fired). Those performing security or military service on the station are exempt from this requirement. The Command level is an exception, where those not performing relevant security or military duties are banned from carrying weapons. In some rare cases, these restrictions may be waived. Non-citizens are barred from carrying weapons on the station.
3. Citizens of the Svajone have two basic options for payment of dues to the station. The first is a direct contribution to the Svajone treasure. The other option is performing service work on the station for a set number of hours per week (on average 16-25). Citizens are permitted to perform other work privately as desired.
4. Citizens of the Svajone are required to maintain proper station identification for submission to security upon request, as well as when entering restricted areas of the station.
5. Application for citizenship is open to anyone who makes arrangements to pay dues to the station, whether via direct payment or labor, and submits to a blood or tissue sample for station records.

Other Legal Information

1. Generally speaking, in public areas assault, theft, breaking and entering, kidnapping and similar crimes will receive the attention of station personnel.
2. While the Svajone does not have an advanced commercial code, it is generally held that contracts shall be honored, and those purchasing goods and services have the right to acquire products free of defects.
3. Psionics, while not banned, are suppressed. This means any psionic activity on the station suffers a -4 modifier. While the use of psionics is not illegal, they do tend to subject one openly using them to additional scrutiny. In addition, most crimes committed with a psionic component tend to result in the perpetrator receiving a psiectomy (the removal of the part of the brain that allows one to use psionic abilities).
