Preface

7th Special Operations (hereafter called Squadron Standing Orders – SSOs) are issued under the authority of the Commanding Officer (Alpha CMDR).

Squadron standing Orders are regulations pertaining to the personnel, regular operation and any relevant operating aspects of 7th SO Alpha Squadron. These orders are meant to amplify regulations issued under TIE Corps regulations and TIE Corps Pilot's Manual (TCPM), and other standard regulatory instruments issued. The Commanding Officer shall be the final authority for interpretation and enforcement of Squadron Standing Orders.

These orders are effective upon receipt and are applicable to all officers, pilots, civilian staff and cadets involved with 7th SO Alpha Squadron.

Copies of these orders will be made readily accessible to all staff members of 7th SO Alpha Squadron for review and reference, and will also be made available by electronic form to all pilots. It is the responsibility of the individual pilot to make themselves aware of the content of the orders and to keep current with amendments.

Visitors to the squadron are also subject to these orders and it is incumbent upon those members who are hosting visitors and transient personnel to advise them of those orders which apply in each case.

These orders will be reviewed annually and updated as required. These orders continue to be developed and additions and revisions may be made during the operating year. Revisions and additions will be provided to all personnel and will be effective immediately upon publication. All requests to amend the SSOs shall be submitted in writing to the CMDR.

Mission Statement

Special Operations, SpecOps or SO, are military activities conducted by specially designated, organized, selected, trained and equipped forces using unconventional techniques and modes of employment. For details on SO, see Special Operations

7th SO Alpha Squadron performs a wide variety of SpecOps under the following principles:

i. Loyalty: The expression of our collective dedication to the ideals of the New Order and to all its members. Serve the Empire above all others.

ii. Professionalism: The accomplishment of all tasks with pride and diligence.

iii. Mutual Respect: The treatment of others with dignity and equality.

iv. Integrity: The courage and commitment to exemplify trust, sincerity, and honesty.

v. Emotional Control: firm control of your emotions. While on duty, servants of the Empire do not gloat, cheer, or weep, or rage, although cold fury can be deemed an appropiate reaction to particular circumstances. Humor can also be used on certain contexts.

vi. Commitment: you're expected to do your best effort in all activities: Mission Compendium simulations, competitions, events, meetings, etc.

v. Communication and activity: Until further notice, you're also expected to fully observe TC activiity bar: 30 days of zero comms from you will result in AWOL (Absent Without Leave) status. 60 days of zero activity will result in Involuntary Reserve (InvolRSV) status. You may, however, request a LOA or, if your absence will last long enough or you feel you cannot or do not want to keep the activity bar, request your voluntary transfer to Reserves (RSV) following the chain of command.

vi. Chain of Command. CMDRs are the first contact of the pilots. However, it is a good practice to approach your FL and/or your SQXO first, as they might usually assist you most of the time with day-to-day questions. They might redirect you to your CMDR or another superior officer as part of the solution offered nevertheless. If there's no response from the FL, SQXO or CMDR or if there is a problem regarding them, you may contact your ship's COM who will address the issue.
