Security
I. Purpose
The Security Department exists to protect all assets, personnel, infrastructure, and operations across static and mobile installations. In the ever-hostile environment of Star Citizen, where every outpost is a potential target, security isn’t a luxury—it’s the foundation of operational continuity.
Security operates not only as a reactive force but as a preemptive shield. It is the watchful eye, the ready hand, and the hard counter to threats ranging from pirates and wildlife to corporate sabotage and full-scale invasion. In base building, Security ensures that what’s built stays standing—and that those within it remain in control.
II. Core Functions
- Perimeter Defense & Patrols
- Secure boundaries, conduct routine patrols, and man defensive positions to maintain a physical deterrent presence.
- Threat Detection & Surveillance
- Deploy sensors, drones, motion detectors, and quantum signature scanners for early threat detection and situational awareness.
- Rapid Response & QRF (Quick Reaction Force)
- Maintain on-call fireteams capable of responding to breaches, raids, or system failures within minutes.
- Access Control & Internal Security
- Monitor access points, maintain security protocols for personnel and visitors, and detect internal threats such as infiltration, espionage, or mutiny.
- Asset Escort & Protection
- Provide armed protection for high-value transport convoys, VIPs, sensitive operations, and mobile acquisition units in hostile territory.
- Defensive Infrastructure Integration
- Coordinate with Infrastructure to place turrets, shield emitters, bunker points, kill zones, and emergency lockdown systems.
- Intelligence & Recon Operations
- Conduct scouting and recon missions to assess external threats, monitor factional movements, and gather intel for strategic planning.
III. Strategic Objectives
- Maintain total threat readiness through layered defense systems and active force deployment.
- Provide deterrence through presence, reputation, and overwhelming response capacity.
- Support base integrity by preventing disruption of operations, supply chains, or personnel.
- Develop adaptive protocols to counter both conventional and asymmetric threats, including cyberwarfare and stealth incursions.
