I don’t have a posted DNI for a few reasons but in this case I’ll be crystal clear:

I do not want people who use AI in their whump writing (generating scenarios, generating story text, etc.) to follow me or interact with my posts. I also do not consent to any of my writing, posts, or reblogs being used as inputs or data for AI.

Only 2 pieces of media have made a multiverse concept that I like. And that’s Everything Everywhere All At Once and Transcendental Cha Cha Cha

Reminding myself about this because it’s great and I should use it(and also I wanna know if there’s a bunch on cut off sections for other people too?? Like, some of the twice indented bullet points are cut off….)

The Universal Protectorate is an organization dedicated to keeping the peace in interplanetary space, providing a sense of order to the people of the universe and making sure that the space in between the planets is not a lawless wasteland. Originally, they were a non-profit which only used non-violent conflict resolution. Until they were bought by BLIS, the largest corprate entity the universe has every seen, they own everything... and everyone. (basically if 911 operators were owned by amazon... in space)

Control:

The Base of Operations for all sects of TUP

Space Station at Nowhere/BLIS-S/1

Officially called Universal Protectorate Command, colloquially called “UPCom” by rangers

Workplace of all TUP higher ups and major authorities

The Ranger Academy:

Directly connected to UPCom

Officially called The Universal Protectorate Academy for Ranger Trainees, colloquially called “TUPART”, “UPcademy”, or just “school” by rangers

Students must be (the developmental equivalent of) 16 years old to enroll at TUPART

The ranger educational path: a 4-step process

1 - Basic Ranger Training

For the youngest/newest of students to learn the basics of being a UP Ranger(2 years)

2 - Trainee Internships

Students who have completed step 1 are assigned as interns on various ranger stations for real life experience and to help them decide on a path for step 3. Ranger Captains are discouraged from bringing interns on potentially dangerous missions(1 year)

3 - Path Pursuit

After their internships, students decide on 1 or 2 “majors” to specialize in such as, ‘combat’, ‘engineering’, ‘public interpretation’, etc, they may also decide to step out of the ranger program and into the corporate sect of TUP(2 years)

4 - Probation

Freshly graduated Rangers are added to crews on probation to ease them into the system further(it's like the internships but more involved), after which they are either officially assigned to the same crew, or reassigned to a different crew(6 months)

Ranger stations:

The workplace of designated ranger crews

There is one assigned station per habited solar system, with number of crews and size of station proportional to the number of inhabited planets, uninhabited systems are the jurisdiction of the closest station

Unless called in by “local”(meaning local to the planet) law enforcement, TUP Ranger jurisdiction is only in Interplanetary space, areas outside of a planet’s atmosphere

Rangers are usually called to monitor traffic in and out of the system, as well as keep updated on possible large-scale disasters on the planets in their system(large scale meaning: 1000+ casualties with no end in sight), they also patrol(in FTL cruisers) the system for disturbances and respond to SOS calls from traveling ships

Because long-range teleportation is incredibly costly with its use of energy, the teleport to UPCom is for only emergencies and direct summons from Generals(and other higher ups)

Ranger Station Command Structure:

Each Ranger Crew has a variety of roles to balance out the specializations of each crew member,

When an Emergency Response is called for, all applicable crew is released from their individual tasks and put into the Response Team

Captain (1)

The captain is the final and main decision maker of the crew, they dish out the orders, assign crew members to tasks, communicate and report to command, and make sure everyone is doing their role effectively

Clones(1-4)

When a ranger is chosen to be a captain, they receive a clone to act as a right-hand and as a balance for decision making. Clones are specialized by the captain to support their weaknesses highlight their strengths(example: If the captain is prone to violence, their clone may be suited to finding non-violent solutions), Full-Cloning(the creation of an identical, complicated organism, with customized traits and skills) is incredibly expensive, so more clones of the captain are only received as gifts for years of service(1/decade)

Clones are legally not considered people, but as extensions of captains. They don’t receive pay, and are entirely at the whims of their sources

Clones can be distinguished from their sources via a separate uniform, as well as several identifiers on their bodies that are grown into the clone

Clones are officially referred to as [Source’s Surname]-[Clone #], ie. Wevice-1

Clones are destroyed by security when their Sources die

If a clone dies, the Captain will have to pay for a replacement if they require one. The reason for a clone’s death is not required to be disclosed when submitting replacement paperwork

Pilots/Patrol Officers (4)

Pilots of FTL cruisers for patrolling their system, they travel in teams of 2, and are usually on duty for multiple cycles at a time

Not summoned for emergency responses

Security(2)

On ship security, monitor cameras, always one on duty

Summoned for emergency responses

Communications(2)

Monitors and responds to communications from system planets, as well as watching for SOS messages, there is always 1 on duty for 24/hr support

Not summoned for emergency responses

Maintenance(1)

Keeps the station in working order, engineers, fix broken appliances, etc

Summoned for emergency responses

Relief Organizers(1)

In charge of organizing and keeping the captain informed of relief operations on planets(things such as offworld help, physical supplies, evacuation efforts), only exist during an emergency response, otherwise they assist with communications and inventory management

In charge of organizing emergency responses(along with the captain)

Sanitation(1)

They’re the janitors and in charge of making sure there’s minimal spread of disease aboard the station

Summoned for emergency responses

Medical Staff(2)

Operates medical equipment on board the station, also in charge of prescribing and procuring any medications that crew members need, off duty during the night but can be put back on duty if a crisis arises

Summoned for emergency responses(unless there are life threatening injuries in the station, in which case only one is summoned at a time)

Interpreters(1)

Respond to non-emergency communications, such as, directing someone who got lost, settling disputes, etc

Summoned for emergency responses

Inventory Management(1)

Keeps track of ship inventory, including food, weapons, medical supplies, etc, keeps the captain informed on what needs to be ordered, in charge of meal preparation for the crew

Not Summoned for emergency responses, but in charge of keeping Emergency Response Teams supplied

i keep getting fines for “excessive water consumption” it’s not my fault that the basement prison cells all need their own toilets and showers. and like the prisoners are not pulling their weight AT ALL. all they do is sleep and be scared of the rats all day instead of painting with the easels i provided so the fines are really putting a financial strain on the household. if i didn’t need them for their plasma i would have killed them all already because this is nottt as financially lucrative as i thought it would be
