Distress Calls

Information
In the event that a Terran vessel is unable to sufficiently defend itself a distress call may be generated. These emergency signals are encrypted with a special carrier wave which allows other friendly ships within the vicinity to respond. As per the Charter of the Imperial Starfleet of The Holy American Empire all Imperial ships are bound by honor to investigate these occurrences and are authorized to use whatever means necessary to help any endangered parties.

Task Force Alpha strictly adheres to the values and principles of Starfleet, and as such rewards those Captains who come to the aid of their fellow officers. Alpha Marks are awarded on successful completion of these random occurrences to all participants involved.
