Incidentally, thinking of unappreciated things and crimes:
…while there is a crime going by the name of “misuse of Imperial authority or resources”, that’s for things like skimming off the top of projects or requisitioning a battlecruiser for a personal space-jaunt. This sort of thing, where you’re using your authority to deprive people of their Contractual or Chartered rights, is charged there as treason.
Everyone involved gets a trip to the lethal chamber.
(Relevant to the Joining the Party thread, 'cause there is so much of this shit going on that they’d run out of morgue space real fast. Or, I suppose, hold a zero-day.
Now, chaps, you have a week to go confess all your crimes under color of authority to the nice gentlesophs from the Office of Service Security. You want to do this. Because anything we find out about during that week, sure, you’ll have to pay recompense and weregeld, and will be barred from future work in, for, or with the Service, but at least you’ll live to complain about it. Anything we find about afterwards, however - and we will - is treason, and you don’t want to know how that goes.
