Standard Operating Procedure

Operations Flow

Operations Dossier: from mission clock to signed credits. This briefing details the entire administrative flow: Mission, Company, Crew, Asset, Mortgage, Income, Costs, Annual Budget and the rules that keep them consistent.

Consistency is purely advisory: the Referee has total tactical control over all data.

Mission Directive

Mission

The mission is the master clock. Set the starting year and session date (day/year) and keep it updated as game time advances. Every downstream date, limit, and PDF reads from this clock.

A Mission can be an entire campaign or a single adventure: use the scope that fits your table.

  • Session date drives form limits and PDF "generated on" stamps.
  • Assets inherit the mission calendar for all day/year fields.
  • Every update is logged as a session timeline entry with a JSON snapshot.
  • The mission is the anchor for costs, income, and mortgage signings.
  • Dates are normalized everywhere as DDD/YYYY.

Counterparty Registry

Company

Companies are cross-mission entities. Register them once with roles, contact data, and Local Laws; reuse them in any mission without duplicating legal metadata.

  • Local Law data flows into Cost/Income/Mortgage PDFs.
  • Company roles clarify counterparties in all contracts.
  • Cross-mission reuse keeps signatures consistent.

Manifest Protocol

Crew

Crew status is a timeline. When assigned from the "unassigned" pool, the crew member is set to Active and stamped with the session date.

  • Status: Active, On Leave, Retired, Missing (MIA), Deceased.
  • Unassigned lists exclude MIA/Deceased by default.
  • Detaching a crew from an asset clears Active/Leave/Retired dates and status.

Asset Manifest

Register Assets

Assets (Ship, Base, Team) are the core accounting units. Every asset automatically gains a Financial Account (Wallet) to store its credits and link to the Ledger.

  • Wallet Core: Assets cannot exist without a linked financial account. The system provisions one automatically if not specified.
  • Ownership Bond: Financial Accounts tied to an asset can only be removed by decommissioning the asset itself.
  • Technical specs and crew hierarchies are anchored to this entity.

Patch Log

Asset Amendment

Signed assets change via Amendments. Link each amendment to a technical cost with a payment date; that date becomes the effective day/year of the amendment.

  • Cost ref is mandatory and must have payment day/year.
  • Costs already used by other amendments are excluded.
  • Amendments are recorded in the Asset PDF for audit.

Nav Dossier

Tactical Navigation

Routes are built from waypoints and linked to Asset + Mission. The Asynchronous Navigation HUD allows real-time transits without page reloads.

  • Real Distance Log: Distances are calculated in real parsecs between sector coordinates, driving precise fuel burns.
  • Temporal Auto-Sync: Every Jump-Transit automatically advances the Imperial session clock by 7 days.
  • HUD HUD Interface: Map links open `TRAVELLERMAP.COM` with sector/hex sync for visual tactical confirmation.

Pledge Files

Mortgage

Mortgages are signed using the mission session date. Documentation parity ensures that existing accounts are reused or new ones created on-the-fly with Strict XOR Validation.

  • Signature stamps day/year + location and locks PDF metadata.
  • Smart Visibility: Ledger fields appear only after Asset selection.
  • Payments follow the Traveller 13-period year.

Revenue Docket

Income

Record all revenue with automated handling of deposits and payouts. Features Location Intelligence for signing locations and Exclusive Selection for receiver accounts.

  • Normalizzazione Geografica: Tutte le posizioni (Signing Location) sono salvate nel formato standard `Sector // World`.
  • Dependent Selects: La scelta del mondo è vincolata al settore tramite lookup OTU dinamico.
  • System auto-splits Deposits (Signature Date) vs Balances (Payout Date).

Freight & Salvage

Cargo Hold

The Cargo Hold tracks all non-financial assets (Trade, Loot, Items). It integrates directly with the Ledger for purchases and sales.

  • Loot Protocol: Permette la registrazione di bottino indicando settore e mondo di origine.
  • Liquidation Engine: Converte merci in crediti (Income) calcolando profitto/perdita legale basata sulla posizione di vendita.
  • L'inventario è filtrabile per asset e sincronizzato con le Tactical Card.

Expense Ledger

Costs

Costs are time-aware events. Every credit spent is deducted on the Payment Date, with Location Intelligence ensuring destination accuracy.

  • UWP Matching: Inizializzazione automatica delle label estese per dati legacy nel PRE_SET_DATA del form.
  • XOR Validation prevents selecting an account AND typing a new one simultaneously.
  • Line items feed the calculated amount field (read-only).

Balance Strip

Annual Budget

The Annual Budget is the asset's fiscal strip for the session year: it aggregates Income, Costs and mortgage payments into a single operational view.

  • One budget per asset, tied to start/end Imperial day/year.
  • The timeline merges payments, maintenance, and debt across 13 periods.
  • Use it to forecast solvency before the next jump.

Referee Tactical Control

Advisory Validation & Referee Control

Nav-Fi³ uses an advisory validation model. The system provides guidance via alerts but never blocks "hard" records based on signed/paid status or session dates.

  • Advisory Alerts: Timeline inconsistencies (e.g. payment before mission start) show informational alerts without blocking saves. The Referee maintains total control over data consistency.
  • Tactical Override: Use the dedicated Financial Accounts page to manually adjust starting credits, change banking institutions, or ricollect accounts independently from the session ledger.
  • Cascade Cancellation: Removing a primary object (especially an Asset) will automatically cancel all linked history: Mortgage, Installments, Costs, Income, and Routes.
  • Permanent Data Removal: Exercise tactical caution when deleting assets; once confirmed, the associated ledger cannot be recovered via standard UI.
