{{Shoals}}
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.

Rangers must also be prepared for their area of operation to include an entire star system, if deemed necessary by the Rangers program.

===[[Starfleet Marines]]===
Companies, squadrons, platoons or individual marines (unless acting for the Starfleet Rangers division) are not generally permitted long-term active deployment within the Shoals, and thus cannot be considered. However, marines may be deployed if Starfleet Command deems it necessary.


===[[Starfleet Intelligence|Starfleet Intelligence officers]]===
===[[Starfleet Intelligence|Starfleet Intelligence officers]]===
As the [[Colonial Coalition]] represents seven Federation colonies, anything more then gathering information that may impact Starfleet operations in the area through official sources, is strictly prohibited for intelligence officers. However, it is feared that intelligence officers may be specifically targeted by pirates or anti-Federation groups once the nature of their duties has been revealed. Though such an event is unlikely, requirements for intelligence officers to potentially operate alone in the Shoals include:

#Must be prepared to work with a minimal Starfleet team and with civilian contractors.
#Must have successfully completed first aid training.

===Medical officers on deployment===
Companies, squadrons, platoons or individual marines (unless acting for the Starfleet Rangers division) are not generally permitted long-term active deployment within the Shoals, and thus cannot be considered. However, marines may be deployed if Starfleet Command deems it necessary.
Though the seven colonies of the Shoals are Federation members, officers should consult Starfleet Medical for conduct outside Federation territory.

This usually falls under the purview of Starfleet captains. However, in the event a civilian agency requests training from Starfleet administration, or the Starfleet units in the area cannot providing requested training, officers (from all divisions) must meet the following requirements:

Line 71: Line 67:
Starfleet officers will not respond to orders issued by military or militias operating in their designated area. No sole officer is permitted to enter a region under martial law unless there is an emergency.

All officers on long-term placement must send monthly reports to a Starfleet body located either within the Shoals or outside of the Shoals. Due to tetryon interference, delayed communications and travel time should be factored into report writing. ''Current vessels in operation are the [[USS Veritas]] and the [[USS Montreal]].''

===Intelligence operations===
Domestic surveillance falls under the purview of [[Federation Security]] - consultation with FedSec is required before any such action is taken, to which they may send their own officer to oversee or assist. Intelligence officers should note that the following is also '''not permitted''' within the Shoals:
*Covert operations;
*Use of surveillance technology;
*Use of cover identities;
**Providing false or misleading forms of identification to Shoals authority is also strictly prohibited.
*Failing to provide Colonial Coalition governors reports when requested;

All Starfleet officers active within a single star system of the Shoals should be made aware of one another. Though these officers are by no means required to work together, specific officers have a duty to assist their fellows when need be.
====Specific requirements of duty posts====
====Active Intelligence officer====
* If an '''intelligence officer''' is active, it is their duty to relay information between the other active (and in some cases, inactive) officers.
It is their duty to relay information between the other active (and in some cases, inactive) officers. As travel time into and out of the Shoals may cause considerable delays between deployment orders and officer arrivals, intelligence officers should also keep a roster of active and inactive officers in the area.
* If a '''medical officer''' is active, the health of officers within their region falls under their purview. They must be available for the civilian agencies to contact them in the event of another officer's injury or hospitalization.
====Active Medical officer====
The health of officers within their region falls under an active medical officer's responsibility. They must be available for the civilian agencies to contact them in the event of another officer's injury or hospitalization.
====Officers on leave====
Due to the low number of officers per colony territory, any officer on leave in the Shoals must be prepared in the event they're called back for active duty at a moments notice. This will also apply to officers taking a leave of absence ''outside'' the Shoals, as tetryon interference causes considerable travel delays.
 
Officers on a leave of absence may also be called to brief or work with traveling Starfleet vessels when necessary.
