I'm wondering what, specifically, this means. It's a statement that applies to every occupation, mission, or command in the Star Army; the statement is so general that it shouldn't be there at all.... this division works closely with SAINT assets if applicable to their duties.
I never participated in such roleplay and my character never said that. If this is something you'd like a character to ask Shida so that Shida can give a real IC answer, then we can arrange an SP or JP.The Director of SAINT went on record during the reformation of the Investigators into the Military Police in YE 39 they never had and never would have the power to arrest and charge soldiers, even spies and defectors.
I do think it's very redundant, but that's your choice, Wes's choice, or the reviewer's choice (not sure in what order) to reconcile. I'd appreciate it if it were removed, yes, but if you can't see the reasoning behind what I'm saying then there's nothing to be done.I added that specific mention of Special Branch working with SAINT because their relationship will be much closer than many corps are with SAINT however I can remove this mention if you think it redundant.
I am generally fine with the part about the director being liaised with. But I don't think Shida would have ever gone on record talking about what SAINT does or does not do, especially because the question's answer goes without saying. "Of course Star Army Intelligence can't charge people with crimes. I suppose it's a high complement that other members of the admiralty don't even know what we actually do." So I am fine with the liaising going on and being included, but not the other part, which sort of flows into my next point...I mentioned the Director saying that because you've gone on record OOC in Discord several times stating the fact and I thought it would save time.
And that isn't accurate. SAINT gathers intelligence. But it also acts on that intelligence in some cases. In most cases, intelligence is used to inform another organ of the Star Army that it's most pertinent to, at which point that organ acts. Fleets wage space war. Rikugun conquers and garrisons planets. SAINT pursues clandestine missions and targets. Logistics uses intelligence to alter their supply routes in cases where the Star Army's might can't guarantee safety. MPs police the Star Army and perform formal arrest duties.SAINT gather intelligence. We act on this information if it regards citizens or soldiers of the Star Army, SAINT does not.
In sum, I don't think that SAINT should really be mentioned at all in the OOC section because it appears the inclusion and focus is unnecessarily addressing another part of the Star Army (all of the Star Army is all of the Star Army's counterpart).I aimed to clarify specifically because it seems like a misconception which continues to be perpetuated despite you going on record saying they don't.
"Jaegerbomb".Promise I'm not trying to Jaegerbomb you, bro.
Do the SAMPs assigned to the Rikugun work as individual actors, or do they form whole MP battalions and do traditional MP stuff during war? How does the court martial process work? Are there Judge Advocates? Do captains and XOs have any judicial powers or trial powers on their own ships? Are there special MPs who look at or monitor freight safety for SA Logistics? Is there a part of the SAMPs that works with SA Operations to plan occupation law enforcement for invasion operations?
Chest candy, imo, means less than anything that could be learned at a specialized school/training regimen for close protection. My initial thought was to say "make it so being Advanced Infantry qualified is sufficient," but that'd be a different skill set.They could have a extremely high criteria such as mission success, confirmed kills or total medals now I think about it, which might solve the issue of accessibility? I maintain they're incredibly rare and responsible though so it still needs to be damn high. Thank you for the input.
This part is just a note, but Ketsurui Samurai were never supposed to guard anyone but members of the Ketsurui Clan, and beyond that were only supposed to appear in the Ketsurui Samurai Detachment (which, as I recall, could be seconded out to other units as a special forces kind of thing and not as yojimbo for an officer, but was mostly just Yui's oversized bodyguard, anyway). GMs do what GMs do, but it's never been right for Ketsurui Samurai to guard officers outside of members of the Ketsurui family with any sort of prevalence.It needs to be a station as hard to reach as the previous guards, the Samurai, who must have had to reach some level above Journeywoman to oversee the other Samurai guards if someone could verify that for me.
