Chapter 11 - A background interlude - Vehicle Designations and the Code-10 Penal System

Vehicle Designations

As with all military units, the 1st Penal Air Offence Regiment numbers its vehicles. In the case of the 1st PAOR, this then gives the planes assigned to it, designated call signs that never have to change. Even if the plane and crew are destroyed multiple times.

Craft Numbering is reg/wing/squadron/flight/craft e.g. 1-1-3-4-6, broken down as 1-1346. Unit badges are squadron emblem surrounded by regiment name with wing and squadron number below the emblem e.g. 1/3

Code-10 Penal System

Schwarz was assigned to the regiment under the Code-10 Penal System. Every crime in the European Republic is assigned a specific number from 0.5 (exceedingly minor) through to 10 (major crime). Every crime committed by a person is kept on record, and a running total assigned to that record. As soon as a person hits the maximum total of 10, they are sentenced to either life imprisonment (if their record contains no major crimes, or crimes of violence) or death. Crimes themselvese also have a minimum/maximum amount of fines/length of imprisonment, but once 10 has been hit, there is no chance of appeal, no chance of parole. 

Scwhwarz, a well-known Me2U reality show star and childhood crush of millions, killed a fellow star in a duel. This murder (a 7-point) was added to a further 12 minor crimes he had committed, bringing him to a total of 13 points. All of the minor crimes were 0.5 raters; speeding, drinking, fights, minor vandalism etc, but because they were on his tally, this immediately meant that his total exceed the maximum allowed.
