| - The Angry Rancor has established agreements of different types, creating a status of independence and neutrality with the Empire, New Republic and Caspian Democratic Union. The ship does not have such an agreement with the Corporate Sector Authority, therefore it currently does not travel or do business in CSA space. Points of these agreements are as follows:
* Regardless of where it flies, the ship remains independent and under its own jurisdiction. This also applies to the ship's shuttles, while flying in space (so they can fly from the Rancor in and out of a system, to pick up guests, etc).
* When a Rancor shuttle lands on a planet or station, that shuttle and the crew and passengers aboard come under the jurisdiction of the local authorities, including such matters as weapons and armor restrictions.
* When the Rancor is docked with another ship or a station, the Rancor continues to be autonomous and the other ship or station continues to fall under the same jurisdiction that it would if the two were not docked together.
* With this setup, someone considered an enemy or a criminal by a faction can be on board the Rancor or its shuttles in that faction's space without immediate consequence (ie, an Imperial soldier can be on board while it's flying in NR space, or vica versa). If that person chooses to venture out onto a planet or station, they're on their own.
* If a faction has a strong reason to pursue someone on board the ship, they must speak with the Rancor management about clearance first - and then the situation can be played out. This is meant for the worse criminals/enemies of state... not "any and every" bounty that passes through.
* The parties agree to neutrality and non-aggression. The Rancor will not initiate an attack on another ship or planet (it will defend itself if attacked by pirates, or anyone else), and the local authorities will not attack or board the Rancor "in force" unless they gain clearance to do so first.
* The Rancor is not to be used by members of any faction, to gain improper access to or launch an attack against any other faction. The ship will not be involved in the military struggles between factions.
* Because it is still a warship in its technical design, the Rancor will stay out of weapons range of any major shipping lanes, orbital installations, or other faction warships while flying in a faction's space, unless it has arranged clearance to approach. All of this is designed to allow the ship to do business and be an open area for RP, for all characters from all factions, and not be restricted in where it can fly.
