LEX ASTRA ACADEMY FD 120 / Authority, safety and the exercise record Lex Astra · Foundation teaching team Teaching edition 2956.3 / Tabletop ———————————————————————————————————————————————— LEARNER WORKSHEET For crew members who need to question an instruction and preserve a fair record. This is a private working copy. Downloading submits nothing and records no completion. Use exercise identifiers, not private player information. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— SESSION DETAILS Learner identifier: ____________________________________________________________ Instructor / assessor: ____________________________________________________________ Session date / agreed role or variant: ____________________________________________________________ Vessel, configuration and equipment: ____________________________________________________________ LIVE build / capability test date / tested by (if practical): ____________________________________________________________ Stop signal / recovery contact / communication arrangement: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— PURPOSE Check an instruction against its authority, stop an exercise when needed and write an accurate incident note. COURSE CONTEXT The Academy Ordinance makes honest reporting and review part of service. This case tests those duties without asking a learner to guess another person’s motives. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— ENTRY Complete: FD 100 Equipment: The current Charter, Academy Ordinance and the course case below. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— CASE: An instruction beyond its authority 1. The session brief permits any participant to stop the exercise. 2. A participant says “Stop”; the exercise leader orders another attempt. 3. One witness reports the words directly. Another heard only the final instruction. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND GAME SKILLS Mission permission and the game’s law system Practical instruction revision 1 / 9 October 2026 Read the contract before entering Identify the employer, objective, location, permitted targets and failure conditions in the mission journal. In a Defend Occupants mission, friendly security personnel occupy the same space as hostiles; harming an ally can fail the shared mission. Share and verify the contract with every participant rather than assuming the leader’s access protects the entire party. Separate access from permission to fire An open door, an unlocked ship or a missing marker does not establish a lawful target. Stop on a trespass warning and check the active objective, location and departure requirement. Treat an armistice indicator as a game restriction, not a general promise that nobody can harm you. Academy permission to run a drill never overrides the game’s jurisdiction or another player’s participation. Preserve the useful evidence After a disputed shot, record the active contract, identified target, location, warning and observed result. A HUD colour alone is weak identification evidence. Stop further firing, get the party to a safe location and check the mission and legal state before deciding the next movement. Avoid repeatedly entering a restricted area merely to recreate the incident. PRACTICAL DRILL Compare a lawful bunker objective with an unrelated restricted-site visit. Mark who is allied, what establishes access and when the team must leave. Run the stop call without firing at any uninvolved character. OBSERVED-SKILL CHECKS The learner identifies contract-specific allies and access conditions. My action / observed result / assistance / evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ Live, simulated or unobserved: ____________________________________________________________ The squad stops on an unresolved identification or trespass conflict. My action / observed result / assistance / evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ Live, simulated or unobserved: ____________________________________________________________ The incident account separates the game warning from assumptions about intent. My action / observed result / assistance / evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ Live, simulated or unobserved: ____________________________________________________________ Apply the technical checks in the agreed role. Discussion and simulation do not certify live handling; Crew Support evidence does not confer Pilot qualification. GAME REFERENCES The linked pages were read for this revision. Community references mix release eras; each source note identifies what is used and what is excluded. Technical explanations below are an Academy synthesis, and drills and performance checks are Academy-designed. Before practice, compare the named actions with the installed LIVE build and actual equipment. Bind actions by name rather than copying old default keys. Research is not an in-game validation. Star Citizen Wiki — Defend Occupants https://starcitizen.tools/Defend_Occupants A specific lawful bunker mission, shared access, allied NPCs and friendly-fire consequences. Other contracts have different conditions. Squad drills below are Academy teaching methods, not claimed game rules. Star Citizen Wiki — CrimeStat https://starcitizen.tools/CrimeStat Consequences of assault, prohibited cargo and restricted access. Historical thresholds and clearance instructions are not relied upon; jurisdiction and contract text govern the exercise.

Find the Charter, Academy Ordinance or exercise instruction that covers it, then identify who may make it. A title is not a substitute for the relevant provision; where the text is silent, ask rather than invent permission. Distinguish four questions: what the game permits, what the participating organisation authorises, what the exercise brief allows and what the player has agreed to do. These are different sources of permission. A game interaction being available does not settle the other three, and a fictional office cannot grant real access to another player’s account. Practise: Mark the source and limit of a disputed instruction. Ready when: You cite a retrievable provision or clearly identify the missing authority. My action and observed result: ____________________________________________________________ Evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— METHOD 2: Act on a stop request Acknowledge a participant’s stop request and pause the exercise. Check privately what is needed before discussing a restart. Scenario rank cannot cancel that request, and nobody must explain personal circumstances to the whole crew. A pause is an operational action, not merely a spoken acknowledgement. Halt the drill, establish a safe holding arrangement and avoid leaving a participant exposed while everyone discusses procedure. Resume only after the organiser confirms an agreed scope; a participant may leave without presenting a private explanation to the group. Practise: Respond to a stop request while an exercise leader wants to continue. Ready when: You stop the activity and identify who will arrange a safe, agreed next step. My action and observed result: ____________________________________________________________ Evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— METHOD 3: Write what the record can support Separate what you saw, what someone reported and what you inferred. Include the action taken and any question still open. Leave out private details that do not help explain the decision. Use a short chronology: time, source, event, immediate response and unresolved question. “No reply received on the working channel after two calls” is evidence; “refused the order” adds an unsupported interpretation. Preserve corrections as additions so a reviewer can reconstruct what was known when the decision was made. Practise: Write an incident note from conflicting accounts. Ready when: The reader can distinguish observations, reports and unanswered questions. My action and observed result: ____________________________________________________________ Evidence reference: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— WORKED DECISION The exercise leader orders another attempt after a stop request. The observer pauses the session and records both statements without guessing why either person spoke. 1. Pause the attempt and acknowledge the stop. Arrange the immediate next step privately with the participant. 2. Record the instruction, stop request and response in order. Attribute the second witness’s account rather than presenting it as your own observation. 3. Refer the disputed instruction using the Ordinance and session brief. Do not enter a disciplinary finding into a learning note. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— YOUR EXERCISE Write a six-line incident note that a reviewer can follow. Include the source of authority, action taken and one question still requiring evidence. WHAT CHANGES A senior role claims that an exercise order overrides a stop request. My decision and reason: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— YOUR WORKING RECORD Instruction / issuer / cited authority and limit ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Observed sequence / attributed reports / uncertainty ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ Immediate action / referral question / review contact ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— CHECK YOUR REASONING Can a record say that someone deliberately disobeyed when all it shows is a missing reply? My answer before consulting the explanation: ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— EVIDENCE TO KEEP A source check and a short incident note with a review contact. Criterion 1: You cite a retrievable provision or clearly identify the missing authority. Individual evidence / finding / assessor's reason: ____________________________________________________________ Criterion 2: You stop the activity and identify who will arrange a safe, agreed next step. Individual evidence / finding / assessor's reason: ____________________________________________________________ Criterion 3: The reader can distinguish observations, reports and unanswered questions. Individual evidence / finding / assessor's reason: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— FINDINGS AND NEXT ATTEMPT Demonstrated: observed work meets the criterion. Further practice required: an observed gap needs a specific practice task. Interrupted: conditions prevented valid assessment; not a failure. Not assessed: enough evidence has not yet been collected. All three criteria need individual evidence. A team result or quiz cannot replace an unobserved practical. Practice variant for a fresh attempt: Use a missing acknowledgement rather than a stop request. Separate a possible communications failure from an unsupported misconduct claim. My next practice task: ____________________________________________________________ Review contact: ____________________________________________________________ ———————————————————————————————————————————————— COMPARE AFTER ANSWERING No. Record the missing reply, your contact attempts and their effect. Intent needs evidence; it cannot be inferred from silence alone. ———————————————————————————————————————————————— SOURCE AND EDITION Academy Ordinance /academy/archives/academy-ordinance Governs instruction, individual assessment, conduct and review.
