Operations FAQ
Part 1 - General Information
ISOC Divisions:
The Imperial Special
Operations Command has three divisions and new members
will be assigned in one of the three divisions according
to their preferences:
Ground Company Operations:
All Ground Combat class characters can choose this division no matter
if they prefer PVE or PVP style game play. The character must be a loyal Imperial
in good standing. ISOC Ground Ops personal is expected to wear Imperial gear
when on duty.
Navy Pilot Wing Operations:
Any Imperial pilot can choose to join the Navy operations regardless
of their Ground Profession if flying is their main focus. The Navy will also accept
Freelance pilots as Transport pilots, Mining Operations or heavy combat support,
however, the Freelance pilot must be an Imperial in good standing and all
freelance pilots will be limited to enlisted and NCO ranks
(no Navy Officer career).
Quartermaster Support Unit:
Traders and Entertainers who focus on supporting the Space and Ground Division with
their work enlist in the Support Unit under the Quartermaster. All members of the Support
Unit must be loyal Imperials in good standing even if they stay as
civilian workers.
Participation in
activities:
Once assigned to a division one
can still participate in activities of other divisions,
but will not be part of the command chain. I.e. in Space
Operations the chain of command is considering Navy Pilot Wing
members by rank above ground ops members
and vice versa for Ground Operations.
NCO or Civilians Transferring
from one division to another:
When the focus
of the activities changes one can also apply to transfer
from one division to another. For this transfer one
needs the approval of both Commanders (the CO of the
Unit one is leaving and the CO of the Unit one
wants to join). In case that only one CO agrees and the
other does not the Chief of Staff will decide about the
transfer request. When transferring from one division to
another the former rank will be converted into an
equivalent rank of the new division, if the requirements for that rank are met.
Civilians (who have been in active service for over 1 month) transferring
into a combat division will start at E4 level (i.e.
Corporal in Ground Forces). Typically request are
granted, but multiple transfer request in a short time
frame may be denied or will be approved but with a lower
rank.
Joining the Imperial Special
Operations Command
In order to join the Imperial Special Operations Command one must first
fill out the pre screening survey and send it to the ISOC Recruiter.
After reviewing the answers with a Commissioned Officer of the Command Staff the
Recruiter will invite the to the ISOC boot camp where the Training Officer and his Stafff
will prepare the new recruit for an Interview where several ISOC members and at least one Commissioned
Officer will be present. When the Recruit passes the interview and fulfils all other Training requirements he is considered
fit for serving in the Imperial Special Operations Command.
Once accepted as a full enlisted member of the Imperial Special
operations Command by a Commissioned Officer former Recruit needs to choose a
division and will receive a rank according to his skills.
Every new member will be placed into service as a
Recruit in Training with one month probation.
As the Empire consolidated several
former divisions into the Imperial Special Operations
Command former members of Mortis Insurrectum (MI)
Tyranny (TRYNY) and the Naboo Imperial Front (NIF) who have served on Wanderhome will
not go though the interview and pre-screening process
and will be accepted as Recruit with one month probation
and placed into the division of their choosing by a
Commissioned officer or a Senior Recruiter.
During the probation time or at the latest after
completing the training new members are expected to move
into Wrixwood Imperia, where the militia can
provide the citizens a new small house if needed.
Players and
Characters
In the Imperial Special
Operations command every Character is treated according
to the character history and is not judged by actions a
different Character of the same Player (the real person
behind the character) does. The only expiations are
violations of the Code of Conduct, Espionage, Sabotage
or Treason. Also, each Player can only have one senior
Commissioned Officer within the Imperial Special
Operations Command and only one Commissioned Officer within one Unit
(see Part 2 / Commissioned Officers).
Officer on Deck
When ever higher ranking commissioned officer enters
the room the first to see this officer will shout
"Officer on deck" and everyone present will show their
respect by saluting the officer. This procedure applies
to the Guild Chat as well as any meeting or when seeing
a higher ranking officer while on duty. The salute is
always directed to the highest ranking officer present.
Weekly Guild
meetings:
Meetings are held in Wrixwood Imperia ISOC HQ building, weekly,
Sunday at 3 pm EST – 8 pm UK – 21:00 CET
Everyone who is online during
a guild meeting is expected to attend the meeting.
Additionally every member is expected to attend at least
one of the weekly meetings once every month.
When attending a meeting the dress code is as
follows: a) Wear the ISOC Standard Dress Uniform
b) Wear a standard (grey) Imperial Uniform
Weapons, Hats or Helmets are not permitted during
the meeting.
If you have neither of these
available be sure to attend the meeting anyway, take a
seat in the back row and contact the Quartermaster to
obtain the correct gear before the next meeting.
Pre Combat Inspection and
Group Operations
Highest ranking
member is in charge, no questions asked.
Conduct
a PCI (Pre Combat Inspection)
1. Should be conducted
Via Group Chat
2. Establish what the Operation is.
3. Rolls of present Operators.
4. DOs and DO
NOTs.
Do not rush the situation, remember the 7
Ps:
Proper Prior Planing Prevents Piss Poor
Performance.
SOP on how to request Guild
assistance for future Operations: 1. Post request
for assistance on the ISOC
Forums(What>When>Where).
2. Forward a copy of
your request to Merlyn, and she will in turn forward it
via Guild Mail.
In game chat systems and Roleplay
ISOC stands for Imperial Role play, but instead of acting a scenario ISOC personal is treating other characters according to their role and rank.
What does this mean in details?
Guild Chat = Like Sergeant Punp on the Holonet it is where ISOC members hang out. All ranking members are addressed with due respect and salutes due, but also other topics make it into this chat.
Group Chat = The Group leader decides, but typically on Ops this is stickily mission related and in character
Tells = well, that is off the books and typically private
Spatial chat shall always be in character and personal will salute a higher ranking officer comming in visible range
Voice Chat = Typically not in character, but when used during Ops it shall be following the above rules for type chat
All ISOC personal should check the Holonet for further SOPs and internal orders.
