Count Hertwig is Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary for His Imperial Majesty for the duration of the tour. Commander Callam Lero is the commanding officer of the INS Deimos, and as such, the primary military and ship commander for the duration of the tour. Both have broad authority to act according to what he sees advances His Majesty’s goals. Upon their death, incapacitation, or other inability to serve in their function, acting rules of command inheritance are to be observed, including acting ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary. 
The INS Deimos is to conduct itself according to the Rules of Engagement as documented in the Imperial Naval Manual, section 133.1.2b. Lacking clear guidelines and being far from Imperial territory, you are commanded to protect your ship and crew from deadly threat.
You may recruit for replacement crew from non Zhodani-Consulate aligned systems, following all Imperial protocols as set forth in the Imperial Naval Manual, section 203.32.3c.
The INS Deimos is to be served by a standard complement of crew and a company of marines.
In all matters, you are to conduct yourself to the highest Imperial standards.
His Imperial Majesty Strephon Aella Alkhalikoi

Solo Traveller Setting Part 2: Carcharoth and the Resistance

Image
President Rica Breson Carcharoth (C630776-B) was invaded in the early hours of 1089.134 (Imperial) by the the People's Supremacy's crack 35th Drop Ranger Battalion. In accord with the People's Supremacy doctrine, numerous psionic agents were infiltrated into the governmental and military structure months and years in advance. However, President Rica Breson, aware of the People's invasions of Jora and Uryuom, had taken some measures to protect the government. Widespread use of psionic-shields and rigorous recruitment of loyal psions provided a thin line of defense. In this case, it was enough to allow Breson and the members of her cabinet to evade capture in the openings hours of the invasion. Nonetheless, the People's Army and Navy smashed the Carcharoth defense forces. Remnants of the army now form the nucleus of the Carcharoth Freedom Army (CFA), the primary resistance movement on Carcharoth. Breson and her cabinet found refuge in Blerreon (B547524-7) in the Piah

Solo Traveller Setting Part 1: Klebe and the People’s Supremacy

Image by  Gerd Altmann  from  Pixabay   From the History of the Harem Sector in Foreven by Dr. Hatishiv Logius Once a Zhodani aligned state, even the Zhodani Consulate has distanced itself since the People’s Revolutionary Party seized power in a hard coup in 1082 (Imperial). The genesis of the People’s Supremacy was a growing perception that those empowered with psionic abilities were innately better than non-psionic enabled people. While largely inline with Zhodani philosophy (reference the position of the proles), Minister Andyr Fualiz positioned the then People’s Party--a vaguely communist-anarchist oriented group--into a more aggressive, psion superiority party. When slapped with the term supremacist movement, Fualiz embraced the term. In the early hours of day 1082.53 (Imperial), Fualiz and Admiral Habix Villous (a secret psion who had for years ensured the rise of fellow psions to high military ranks) seized the capital city, Nolar, and secured the system with cruisers under Vi

Chapter 1, Part 15: Krenshawz

History of Hubble Space Telescope, NASA, MSFC, 2001 If you want to start at the beginning.... Rules for this referee-less, play by post game. Chapter 1 Part 15 Krenshawz Zernov ambles into the room. Late night emergency meetings like this are when Zernov's age and preference for lower G is the most evident. He's stiff, and quicker to find his chair. The morning routine of stretches and warmups had to be skipped, and without combat there was no adrenaline to clear out the cobwebs. Sitting deeply in his chair, Zernov focuses on reading ahead in the report before the briefing starts. Maybe no one will notice him falling behind while he's still waking up. Lero steeples his fingers together and tells Perez to begin. Perez stands up. “After extensive searches, we found nothing of use at the Kopan base. This, in itself, is telling and lends credence to the XO’s suspicions regarding Kopan’s seeming preparedness. Raiders would not have scrubbed and destroyed e
