RSS Affinity Research and Development

The Research and Development lab is located behind the Armory to the right side on the Command Deck.

Protocols and Procedures
All crew and staff aboard the Affinity are welcome to submit ideas for new technologies in order to better the functionality of the ship, or better the lives of the citizens of the galaxy.

The submissions are sent directly to the following groups: Senior Staff; Engineering Department; Operations Department; Science Department.

Senior Staff is to determine if the project is reasonable to being on board the Affinity.

Operations is to properly supply approved projects to facilitate prompt completion.

Engineering is to develop and build approved projects. Staff should prioritize Ship maintenance and repair over any projects in the queue.

Science will be consulted for proper supply and functionality of approved projects.

Hazardous materials required for construction are to be cleared by the Science Chief and Senior Staff before being brought on board.

If relevant, the implementation of these projects will commence after joint recommendation of the Operations Chief, Engineering Chief, and Science Chief. After approval from Senior Staff, implementation may commence.

All completed projects are to be tracked through the first year of use for study. Any changes from expected operation are to be investigated and corrected by Engineering and Science immediately. Such instances must be reported and all traces of the project must be pulled from active use immediately. Failure to do so will result in disciplinary action.
