What are CentCom Jobs?

CentCom jobs are "jobs" played exclusively by admins. They are effectively a way for admins to react to events in the round, and guide the round in a direction that will be more fun for players. ICly, they are the people who answer command and IAA faxes, who are sent to investigate incompetent Captains, who dispatch ERTs and Deathsquads, and who make the decision about whether to authorize station self-destruct. They outrank absolutely everyone on the station, no exceptions. They have almost unlimited IC authority, including issuing directives that change, modify or nullify space law and/or SOP. While it is possible to disobey an order from a CentCom officer and get away with it, it isn't likely, and mutiny is one of only two crimes in Space Law for which capital punishment is allowed. They are the source of the well-known CentCom phrase: "violation of this directive is grounds for termination of your contract and life".


Job Examples

The most common CentCom job is Nanotrasen Navy Officer. Essentially, this is the default title for any CentCom character. They typically spend their time doing administrative work, though officials specializing in other fields, like diplomacy, intelligence, or internal affairs, are not uncommon.

The second most common is Nanotrasen Special Operations Officer. These officers tend to spend their time in the office next to the ERT/Deathsquad deployment area, and brief outgoing ERT/DS teams. They're also the ones who (ICly) make the final call about authorizing ERTs, Deathsquads, and nuclear self-destructs.

Finally, a third, rarely-seen type of CentCom officer is the Nanotrasen Navy Captain. Officially they command military ships of Nanotrasen. Unofficially they are often called in to be ambassadors, diplomats, etc. These sorts of officers almost always have a permanent bodyguard assigned to them, and are frequently considered high-value targets for the Syndicate.

Strategy: If possible, let security handle it. If that is not possible...
Description

The standard sidearm of Nanotrasen Navy Officers. A multi-mode, pocket-sized, pulse-based handgun with low ammo capacity. It is impossible to recharge. Thus, it tends to be a common self-defense sidearm for important officers.

M1911-P

Strategy: The default setting on these things is 'DESTROY'. That should tell you all you need to know.
Description

The standard sidearm of Nanotrasen Special Operations Officers. A multi-mode, pocket-sized, pulse-based handgun with extremely high ammo capacity. Has similar destructive power to a Deathsquad pulse rifle, but fits in your pocket, fires more than pulse rounds, and has almost unlimited ammo. Special Operations Officers have been known to destroy military-grade mechs with this pistol.

Combat Stimulant Injector
