Sky Harbor Patrol
by Chasmyr

atrols the vessels docked at any sky harbor towers, as well as the air space over the city itself. Is charged with preventing assaults on the city or otherwise using the cities airways against the city and persons therein. Also arranges patrol routes for all Naval airships patroling in the City of Mirrors area. Docking fees are collected from all civilian airships to arrive at the Harbor Tower. Fee is 5gp/line/day+2% of total cargo value in delivery tax. They also inspect all cargoes delivered to City of Mirrors for contraband. The Sky Harbor Patrol guard any vessels at dock, and will police for smuggling to and from these ships.

Offices are located at 13,16 (V,W,X,Y,Z). This is where the Sky Harbor patrol functions are run from.

Persons joining the sky patrol are equipped, free of charge, with the following items while in a duty status only:
1)Ring of Flying
2)Light Crossbow of Illusory Bolts

There are two ranking systems in the Sky Patrol. One applies while a member is assigned to a ground-based job(usually at the Sky Harbors). Thay are as follows

Pay*	Portside		On Ship
75gp	Watchman		Crewman
150gp	Sergeant		Petty Officer
300gp	Corporal*		Bo'sun*---------------------|
600gp	Watch Commander		Quartermaster---------Ships Navigator
1200gpCommandant		Captain---------------Ships Wizard

Both systems fall under the Vice Admiral, in the following hierarchy:

2400gp Vice Admiral
4800gp Admiral
Lord's Council

*All pay is on a per week rate.

*All ranks above Corporal/Bo'sun are considered officer ranks.
Ships Navigator and Wizard represent alternate rankings. They are equal in authority to the equivalent ranks, though a captain always has final say in all matters ship board. These positions may be held jointly or singly in various cases due to the size of the vessel in question.

Both commandants and captains have a great deal of autonomy in dealing with their internal affairs. Also, while all captains equal commandants, the same is not true amongst captains. The captain manning the larger vessel is always senior as he is entrusted with the most responsibility.

Another practice common amongst the officers of the Sky Patrol is something called "the finding." This is when an officer voluntarily undergoes Psychic Surgery to bring out a wild talent. This practice started as a search for any form of aid in battle.
