Starship (the Ship)

Shipboard Governance and Authority — enforcement of onboard protocols, resource access control, and command-based social order

Description

A shipboard governing authority that defines and enforces official systems, protocols, and conduct aboard the vessel. It operates through a clear chain of command centered on the ship's captain, who authoritatively controls access to communications consoles and institutional resources. The organization balances procedural enforcement with onboard welfare, intervening in disputes, limiting personal use of official systems, and shaping moral and social norms among passengers and crew through both rulemaking and discretionary, compassionate leadership.
