R228 Ship’s Papers, Personal ID, and the Wanted List

You begin the game with a set of official papers identifying yourself and your starship. Any hirelings who join you also have
official and valid identification unless otherwise indicated. You start the game "not wanted" in any of the ten star systems,
and your papers are valid in all systems.

Some events or rules indicate that you become "wanted" in that star system. When this occurs, record the fact. Once your
are "wanted" in the system, you will remain that way (the police have long memories).

Some events paragraph may permit you to obtain new (forged) papers for yourself, your starship, and/or hirelings.
When traveling under a new name, you will become "unwanted" again, until you do something in that name that causes you
to become "wanted." Of course, while traveling under forged papers you may be discovered, and that alone will be enough to
make you "wanted" again, if not arrested outright!

The use of forged papers means you must keep track of each set of papers, and whether that identity is "wanted" anywhere.
