Conduct for solo operations within the Shoals: Difference between revisions

As platoons of Starfleet marines or rangers are generally frowned upon when operating in the Shoals for longer then a temporary basis due to the political climate between the Federation (and, by extension, Starfleet) and the Colonial Coalition, it may be necessary to send individual officers on long-term placements. Without a ship's CO to report to, officers must uphold the highest standards of Starfleet. Placements in the area may be for as short as a few days or for several years.  

Small groups, or away teams, in the area temporarily do not usually fall under these guidelines, as they operate under a readily available commanding officer. Crews of Starfleet vessels operating in the area are also exempt from these guidelines, unless in the unlikely event that small groups of officers are without immediate contact to their commander.

Though many of these points already exist as Starfleet General Orders, an emphasis on certain areas may prove useful for officers going extended periods of time without immediate contact with other Starfleet personnel.
