Notice of Extra Title Framework
The Notice of Extra Title (NET) framework is a programme for the civilian governments of the Yamatai Star Empire to grant temporary powers to citizens and non-citizens in pursuit of specific goals or needs.
The NET system acts as the de-facto framework for bounty hunters, citizens looking for government work, private security/military and non-citizens looking for citizenship. However, NETs are flexible in their usage as long as their requests and rewards are within the power of the issuing authority.
National or local government can issue NETs either to individuals or oftentimes leaving them as open contracts on public forums. They detail services, bounties or resources that a planet or sector's government are looking for.
The first NET, issued from Virginia regarding the bounty of a criminal.
History
The Notice of Extra Title (NET) programme was conceived by Iemochi Seinosuke, Senator for Virginia in YE 43. In his opinion, since the Military Centralization Act of YE 28, the Yamatai Star Empire could be doing more to utilize the abundance of independent manpower and resources for the benefit of Yamatai.
In his capacity during the Kuvexian War, he piloted the programme as a way to better organize and incentivse the protection and preparedness of Virginia. Once the war ended, Seinosuke promoted the programme as a way to help standardize and simplify the way civilian governments worked in this sense.
Description
A Notice of Extra Title (NET) often takes the form of a document bearing the official seal of the issuing authority along with a relevant signature. The Yamataian flag is always detailed at the top of the document.
The Notice will always include a description of the bounty, task or resource required. It also specifies who may accept the task and the conditions for completion. Finally, it will specify what rewards come from completing it.
Usage
Oftentimes, NETs are posted due to their tasks being unnaturally difficult, hard to access or having a high mortality rate. However, sometimes they are simply jobs too mundane to involve planetary forces or Star Army of Yamatai fleets.
Once a NET has been accepted, the acceptor will inform the issuing authority, who will then amend their records to reflect this. Once the acceptor has provably completed the NET, this will be noted on their records and any rewards will be provided.
Sometimes the rewards for completing a NET can even be indefinite leave to remain within a jurisdiction, a letter of marque to join a planet's defensive force, or whatever else may be detailed.
Functionality
The “title” in question refers to both duties for accepting the notice as well as any additional powers or permissions given to help complete it during the duration. “Titles” are guaranteed to be recognized by the issuing authority and valid within their jurisdiction. They may also be respected by other authorities, especially when performing necessary transit between jurisdictions, however this is not guaranteed.
