Editing Captain (section)

===[[File:NTlogo.png|32px]] Those Assholes From Corporate===

With your fancy title, medals, and luxurious excesses it's easy to forget that there is an outside, [[Admin|higher power]] scrutinizing your every move. 

Contact with [[Central Command]] may be few and far between, but you're expected to follow any directives issued by them. CentCom will usually issue directives and updates on activities in your sector through the Communications Console located on the Bridge and your office.

If you're unlucky, you might have to deal with a visit from a [[CentCom Official]] or Commander. Official visits vary from standard performance reviews, internal investigations, or some other kind of corporate meddling. Whatever the case may be, it is important that you try and keep the Official happy throughout their visit. If all else fails, just make sure you can't be blamed for anything that goes wrong. 

However, keep in mind that you still hold authority over any Officials on your station. That is, as long as you're still the legitimate Captain.  If you piss off the wrong guy you might find yourself relieved of command. If the official is causing trouble, though, you are well within your right to have them arrested, and then contact THEIR superior with a complaint.

If you somehow really piss both them and the crew off, do start worrying. Many a Captain has been [[Station Goals#Bluespace Artillery|vaporized in their own Quarters]] for acting like a complete [[Clown|lunatic]].

Contacting CentCom on your own is possible through the use of Communications Consoles, but unless the transmission is urgent it will likely get caught up for weeks in CentCom's notorious bureaucracy. Even then, it'll be a crapshoot.
