Standard Operating Procedure
Follow this flight plan to activate a Traveller mission: session clock, hulls, crews, counterparties, costs, income, mortgages, and the annual budget strip.
Step 01
Name the operation, write a brief, and set the session calendar (day/year). Referee Authority: You have total control over the session clock. The system provides advisory alerts for timeline verification but never blocks saves.
Step 02
Enter Ships, Bases, or Teams. Mandatory Ledger: Every asset is strictly linked 1:1 to a Financial Account. The system automatically provisions a ledger for every new asset to ensure financial coverage from the first day of service.
Step 03
Add counterparties with roles and tags — these companies remain cross-mission, so every new hull or contract can reuse the same provider plus its Local Law baggage.
Step 04
Link each asset to the mission so every date tracks the same session clock. The session day/year will drive asset PDFs, mortgages, and contracts automatically.
Step 05
Add crew, assign bridge roles, and bind people to their assets. Payroll is automatic: The system tracks the 28-day Imperial cycle and handles pro-rata calculations for new hires automatically.
Step 06
Record costs per asset. Location Intelligence: Fields use a 2-level picker (Sector -> World). Existing partial data is automatically matched with the official UWP label. Defines New Vendors on-the-fly.
Step 07
Add income streams. Supports Location Intelligence for signing locations and Hybrid Resolution for Payer/Alias. Normalizes positions to Sector // World automatically.
Step 08
For Ships/Bases: set rate and insurance. Form parity ensures that choosing an existing financing account or provisioning a new one on-the-fly is a strictly validated transaction.
Step 09
Signed assets change only via Amendments. Link each amendment to a technical cost with payment date; that date becomes the effective amendment day/year.
Step 10
Define sector waypoints + hex, then validate jump distances and fuel burn. Map links open TravellerMap and start/dest hexes seal the first and last waypoint.
Step 11
For each asset: aggregate income, costs, and payments in the current year and read the balance strip + timeline. Use it to plan the next jump or sector operation.
Step 12
Use integrated filters and paging on assets, crew, costs, income, mortgages, budgets, missions, and routes to keep the table flowing during play.
Step 13
When a job is ready, export the contract PDF and keep counterparty and local law visible at the table. Each PDF carries a template version marker for audit and reprints.
Step 14
Initiate Nav-Link for real-time travel. Each Jump advances the clock by 7 days. Integrated with Cargo Hold for quick access to trade inventory during transit.
Step 15
Access the Cargo Hold from Tactical Cards. Register Loot specifying origin and Liquidate goods using sector-filtered world pickers to track sales and legal context.
Nav-Fi³ prioritizes narrative flexibility and Referee control. The system provides advisory alerts for data chronology verification, but all records remain fully editable regardless of signed/paid status. The Referee maintains complete authority over data consistency.
