THE SERVER IS NOW PRIVATE AND WILL ONLY ALLOW PEOPLE WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE STEAM GROUP TO JOIN. AS MEMBERS YOU CAN INVITE FRIENDS TO THE GROUP... PLEASE DO INVITE FOLKS

I will be changing our announcements to reflect this new protocol

The CIE is now offering insurance and Banks

The Sector 11 Station now offers insurance and banks:


Insurance:
For a one time fee of 100 credits/1000 blocks, The CIE will insure a ship against pirate attack, collision damage, random SE detonation, long term storage (Breaks in play). Insurance does not cover mutual PvP loss or admin action.

For the one time fee the admin will blueprint your ship and restore it upon request. Subsequent restorations will be provided at the rate of 100 credits per. The CIE assumes no liability for the contents of any containers merged ships or any other contents. The insured ship will be maintained for 6mo or the duration of the server whichever is less.

Bank:
The CIE will now lease container space on Station 11 for 10 credits/mo for a small container and 100 credits for a large container. Your leased container will be transferred to you by a CIE representative. The CIE insures the contents of these containers for up to 1000 credit/sm and 10,000 credits for large. In the case of temporal distortion, unforeseeable loss or damage the CIE will provide lessees with a payout of the determined value of the container or the amounts above whichever is less. The CIE reserves the right to place containers into long term storage based on external factors and some colonists may not have immediate access to their containers after extended absences...
(These containers are protected by an admin grid protector and cannot be destroyed/hacked or otherwise opened)

<<<Public Notice1>>>
Caxian Law
Right of Territory Law 1: Only Stations can claim territory, all Factions may have 1 Station (1000 block) which serves as their base. From the Faction Base Beacon 10,000m in all directions is considered that Factions territory. Factions are responsible for this territory other factions passing through are subject to the will (and firepower) of the owning Faction. The CIP will always intervene on the side of the owning Faction so long as that Faction is up-to-date on their taxes. All ships must be powered and operating a beacon. Ships that do not operate a beacon will be confiscated (Deleted from the server)
Caxian Imperial Protectorate Law 2: The CIP will accept peace from all who apply for it from the 1st to the 7th of the month. During this time the CIP will conduct presence patrols and audits on the citizenry. Firing on CIP will immediately incur a fine of 100 credits for the first offense, 500 credits for the second offense in a tax period. Third offense will declare the offender rogue forfeit all taxes and property within Caxian Space and be dealt with accordingly... The offenders faction may treat for terms from the CIP once the immediate situation is resolved. Allegations of misconduct by the CIP must be brought before an Imperial Official (Admin) for adjudication and reparation. The CIP is considered to own 10,000m from their carrier's Beacon {this is considered as close to a PVP free zone as possible, PvP in this region will be met with HARSH Justice}
Right of Salvage Law 3: Ships found outside an area of Control shall be rescued intact when possible if an owner can be identified the Salvor will return the salvaged craft to the owner who may purchase the craft back at 30% of its deemed salvage value if the owner does not respond within 24 hours to requests to resell the vessel (made on Steam Group) the salvor becomes the owner. (Salvage value is the total mass *.25 in credits) if the owner chooses not to purchase the craft it becomes the property of the Salvor to sell or scrap as desired.
New Players Law 4: Respawn ships and new players will be given every benefit of the doubt when resolving conflict and priority defense by all CIP agents even over bribes. New players lose their protected status after paying taxes, mounting a weapon system, attacking another player or joining a faction, adding a production block (Refinery/Arc Furnace) to their ship or after 30 days in game whichever comes first.

Caxian tax law:

As a newly established sector opened for colonization certain services may be limited or unavailable but the Empire will be offering Insurance, ship purchases/storage and events such as bounty hunts, design competitions and more. All colonists are advised that any claims staked within Caxian imperial space are subject to the following taxation:
All ships must possess a beacon or be found in violation of Caxian law:

Colonist Factions are permitted up to 3 x 1000 block Beacons for a total of 3000 blocks with no taxation:
(Your block count can be found under the info tab of your utility menu "K")

Additional Beacons can be purchased from the CIE as available at prices based on market demand. (Initally do not expect many additional permits to be available).


Factions are also taxed on Production capacity at the following rate:
Refinery 10 Credit / mo / refinery
Arc Furnace 5 Credit / mo / Furnace

Factions are responsible for paying their taxes and identifying what they owe. Faction leaders are responsible for paying the taxes if another member of the faction pays the factions tax they will be given control of the faction. Faction leaders have from the 1st of the Month till the 7th of the month to pay their taxes. Any member of the faction may pay the taxes during this time and it will not result in leadership change all taxes must be paid in full, no partial payments. After the 7th of the month any colonist may pay the owed taxes. If taxes are not paid by the 15th of the month the faction will be considered rogue and the Imperial Empire will determine appropriate steps to take. Likely the faction will be deleted and any resources destroyed or confiscated for Protectorate use or sale. Factions wishing to downsize must do so before taxes are paid. Once paid there are no refunds.

Factions may purchase additional Block permits from any Imperial Representative (Admin).

Taxation in Sector 11 is designed to preserve quality of life in the Sector by providing for the Imperial forces that will be patrolling the area and limiting Facton growth to maintain economic stability (server). Taxation rates are subject to change based on economic and political climate within Sector 11. All taxation changes will implemented with at least 30 days notification through announcement at Starbase 11 (and on the steam group). Colonists are responsible for checking notification boards at Starbase 11.
Colonist Factions are encouraged to donate to the Protectorate in addition to regular taxation rates to ensure their area trade lanes are maintained and the known pirate threat is kept in check.
Factions based outside of Caxian space or tax evaders will be considered rogue and treated as such by Imperial forces. Organizations may contact Imperial representatives to negotiate trade or passage through Caxian space in advance.

-Your Imperial Tax Collector

Caxia is a RPPVE/PVP server....

The Caxian Imperial Empire is seeking colonist for Sector 11 of the colonial Empire.
Recent suppression of the pirate fleets in Sector 11 have opened the area to colonization. The Imperial Protectorate Navy have declared the sector safe for colonization. Safe for colonization does not imply free of pirate threat. There be dragons beyond these borders...The asteroid belt of Charis and surrounding space is now open for colonization.

You, have the opportunity to claim a piece of this fertile and rich territory. Sign up today at [Steam Group]. Your signature offers you the chance to claim a galactic parcel (galactic parcel = radius from Station beacon = 10km).

Colonist are expected to be resilient as Sector 11 is untamed and the Caxian Imperial Protectors are spread thin across this sector. Each colonist will be furnished with any one of four standard colony ships and released to make their way amongst the cosmos in vicinity of Caxian Starbase 11. Starbase 11 serves as the economic, social and political hub for Sector 11. The starbase will trade canisters of processed and raw materials for hard Caxian Credits.

Colonists are advised that the Caxian Empire extends 250k from Starbase 11 and encompasses all of asteroid belt of Charis the Imperial Protectorate Navy operates within these boundaries. The Caxian Imperial Protectorate Navy patrols this region providing basic protection, conflict resolution and peacekeeping services in this area. Colonists who occupy the territory beyond these borders will not receive the benefits of Protectorate protection. The Protectorate are stretched thin but the Caxian Government has moved the IV Battle Group into sector to secure peace and stability to all new colonists.

NON-RP
In short:
This server will be regularly admined. There is a trade station that belongs to the Caxian Empire players must be allied to approach it. The station is the center of Admin control, the closer you are to the station the easier it will be for the Admins/Protectorate to intervene. THERE is NO PVP SAFE ZONE but the Protectorate will protect new players then special friends(big bribe), friends(bribe) then tax payers(no bribe)..

In an effort to preserve server stability players will be taxed based on the size of their footprint. This serves to limit growth and preserve stability. As the server evolves these rates may change. The admin's will serve as the Imperial Goverment and the Caxian Protectorate will serve as police in the Sector. The CIP will be chosen from players details later, but they are and will be limited and may not be able to respond to all requests for aid, therefore areas of economic prosperity (close to the stationt) will receive the most attention from the Imperial Navy. If you want the Navy to protect you pay your taxes plus a little extra. If you really want the navy to pay special attention to you pay a little more.... Or if you want the navy to look the other way while you do a little piracy pay a little more... If you don’t want to pay, ok with us do so at your own peril...

This server will not tolerate griefing of any kind, general chat is to be kept clean, violators will be warned, then fined then banned.
No derogatory language will be permitted, this means: no cussing, no griefing, if you couldn’t say it in church don’t say it in global chat.
The following will get you perma banned without notice:
Sexist/Sexual remarks
Racial Remarks
Remarks against America or her Allies
Remarks against Religions (any)
Faction chat is up to your Faction leaders to police.

How will we track all this we will maintain an electronic sheet of who has paid for what: there are only a few admins so we will compare notes this is intentionally designed to cut away inactive accounts/factions and players. This will be actively admined If we start to slack we will recruit from the CIP then the community to take over.
