Authority Starship Code Safety Regulations
known as "askers" by the outlaw techs of the Corporate Sector, these regulations define specific attributes that all starships operating in the Sector must adhere to. These regulations affect all aspects of starship modifications, including weaponry, shielding, hull plating, sensors, escape mechanisms, landing gear, power plants, communications, propulsion and braking, cargo space allocation, and passenger accommodations. Starships that didn't meet the code were impounded, unless the owner carried an Authority Waiver that noted those systems not up to code.
