Sanctioned Operative (Shadowrun)

This article is imported from the Hastur wiki. See the import log for details.

You have a lisence to conduct security or mercenary operations. Such licenses are nation-specific, but you might have one covering several nations. You can only use these powers in nations who cooperate with your own on law enforcement, although you can often use your legal credentials as a a diplomatic starting point even in formally hostile nations. However, a member of the Church should not expect much cooperation from officials in Aztlan.

You must have at least an Ordinary SIN to take this quality. This allows you to bye restricted and forbidden gear legitimely, ignoring the street, but all such purchases will be registered.

Anyone with these powers must occasionally report on your activities and are under constant supervision; violation or abuse is grounds for censure and punishment.
