RSS Affinity Hangars

There are two main sections to the Hangar Deck on the Affinity. The starboard section includes the Silverwings hangar and Freighter hangar. The port side section includes the shuttle bay, visitors bay, and cargo bay.

## Protocols

### General

Hangar bays are to be kept clean at all times. Due to the volatile nature of the fuels and cleaning fluids used in and on the ships, the necessity of keeping these areas clean and free from spills cannot be stressed too much. Any spills are to be cleaned immediately. Cleaning rags and materials should be disposed of in the appropriate, marked containers.

All walkways are clearly marked and edged with green tape. At no time should any crates, containers, or equipment be stored in a walkway. These areas must be kept clear to allow for free and safe movement of personnel and equipment.

#### Visitors and Guests

For their own safety, all visitors and guests to the area must be escorted by a member of the hangar bay staff. Long, flowing robes or other such attire is not recommended as this could become entangled in equipment posing a hazard to both the wearer and the equipment.

### Cargo Bays

Anti-grav lifters and cargo carts are available for moving all containers. Only crew members trained in their proper use should utilize this equipment. Contact the hangar bay supervisor for assistance with moving supplies.

At no time should containers, crates, or other materials be removed from the cargo bays without the proper, signed documentation. The cargo bays are security monitored (video and voice recorders) and logs are kept of all incoming and outgoing items.

### Freighter Bays

Freighter Captains must provide information on their ships including weapons, sensors, jammers, and engine specifications. The purpose for this information is to provide hangar bay techs with the information they need to service these ships. This information will be kept in a secure, encrypted database. Only approved personnel will have access to this information.

Every freighter has been assigned a docking location appropriate to the size of the spaceship. These areas are clearly numbered, and edged with yellow-black tape. There is some space in the back of each ship's slot for supply storage. It is the responsibility of the freighter Captain to ensure that any items stored here are not hazardous and are stored in a safe and secure manner. Strapping and cargo nets are available for use to secure all containers.

No munitions should be stored out in the open. Unless securely installed in the freighter, they are to be placed in the shielded munitions cargo bay adjacent to the freighter bay. This area is security monitored (video and voice recorders) and logs are kept of all incoming and outgoing items.

### Silverwing Squadron Bay

This is a restricted area. Only authorized personnel are allowed to enter. Should you need to contact a pilot or flight-deck personnel, contact the hangar bay supervisor or the Silverwing Squadron leader before entering the area.

Candidate pilots are restricted to the area where the flight simulators have been installed. They must be escorted to other areas of the fighter hanger bay by someone of pilot or above rank.

## Uniforms

### Hangar Staff

Appropriate work gear is required. Safety shoes, goggles, and head gear must be worn at all times.

### Silverwing Squadron Members

Republic Flight suits are required. There are several styles available to select from. Because the members of the squadron come from all branches of Argent Watch, pilots should wear the colors of their affiliation as a secondary color. The primary color is grey or white.
