Rogue Members
Rogue Members are individuals of our faction that go against their own, this is not allowed and will result in harsh consequences, these individuals will promptly receive a KOS order for the duration of the event, and later they may receive other punishments.
Area Restrictions
A Inquisitor and above may issue an Area Restriction for as long as they are representing the faction. Commanders may issue these during events and for the duration of the event. These are designed for when an area is overcrowded and may only require higher ranks of our faction. (E.g alot of people overcrowd the yellow house for no reason and chaos erupts, as a result the Commander issues an Area Restriction only allowing Operative+ there, averting the chaos.)
These may also be used against non-faction members and can serve as KOS zones during patrols.
