Groups and Roles within the SGA

Before explaining the organizational structure, explaining the different groups and roles within the SGA might be helpful.

## 1.Corporations

The Alliance obviously consists of the different Corporations that founded or joined the Alliance. Every corporation is a unique legal entity with its own structure, community and goals.

Every corporation inside the alliance is equal. There are no “higher” or “lower” corporations. Some may serve a special purpose like the “bootcamp” and are therefore only a restricted legal entity owned by the SGA whereas other corporations are a full legal entity and have the right to leave the SGA should they not feel comfortable anymore (although we would hope that this can be avoided).

## 2.Leaders

Leaders of the SGA can be individuals from any corporation. Their goal is to bring up ideas towards the goals, organize and control the processes within the SGA and represent the highest authority of all groups.

## 3.Officers

SGA Officers support the Leaders in their responsibilities. They might get special assignments, e.g. leading a disciplinary action against someone or organizing contests. They are also moderators in the SGA channels upholding the Code-Of-Conduct. They can be approached with questions, doubts, problems, conflicts and similar. They will handle these with the appropriate confidentiality and bring it up to the SGA leadership if necessary.

## 4.Founding Fathers

This group will likely not grow and shall not be forgotten. They founded this Alliance or were crucial to its creation. They might not be active anymore, have no leadership positions or even have left Hades Star for good.
These are the ones we recognize as Founding Fathers: <please help me fill the list>

## 5.Admirals

Admirals are the ones coordinating the White Stars. Every corporation has its own Admirals that lead the participants in battle. They have a difficult job but no responsibility or rights in the organizational structure. They do however deserve our support and respect for the tough job they are doing.

## 6.First Officers

Every corporation has at least one First Officer. These are the owners of a corporation and therefore have the responsibility for their corporation and members. They might also be a part of the 3 previously mentioned groups and they are the voice of their corporation (if they don’t appoint someone else for this job).

## 7.Corporation Officers

As every corporation is its own legal entity, it is free to appoint its own Officers. These might serve different purposes in different corporations. On an alliance level a corporation officer doesn’t serve any organizational purpose and doesn’t hold a special rank. He can of course be part of the groups 2 to 4 granting him special rights, rank and foremost responsibilities and tasks.

## 8.Corporation Senior Members

As one goal is to make it possible to run RS in every corporation, every SGA member has to be a Senior Member in their home corporation so he can accept participants into his Corporation. RS participants don’t need to get the rank “Senior Member”. However if SGA members are part of a WS, they are to be given “Senior Member” status so they can run RS in that corporation without waiting for participant approval by other Senior Members or higher ranks.
