 Insurance companies certainly don't have the money. 1000₢ for an escape capsule and a new ship was a pretty good idea when witchspace-capable ships were rare and most pilots with them stuck to milk runs. Nowadays, with expensive Boas being lost all over the place, even the cheaper ships costing a six-figure sum, and SAR operations significantly increasing the number of people surviving to claim on the insurance at all, the majority of insurers are heavily dependent on GalCop's dwindling subsidies.
-It therefore comes down to independent companies finding the right approach, and RRS Group (founder: Jara Alsthen of [[Sector3/Ceanbibi]]) has been by far the most successful at filling the gap. Starting with a few prototypes flown from an old Bulk Hauler in [[Sector3/Lezaer]], the RRS Group now has [[RRS_Waystation|Waystations]] near the spacelanes of stable systems throughout the Eight Galaxies. Lezaer is the overall HQ for the entire [[Octant]].

 Rescue Stations makes extensive use of the Advanced Space Compass in some missions, and many objects have an ASC letter of 'R'. [[Talkative Space Compass]], MilHud 4000 or another OXP that extends the Advanced Space Compass to announce full beacon names is therefore almost essential to avoid confusion.

 The following OXPs will either allow the use of some bonus content, or improve the existing content:
 * [[Asteroid Storm]] or another asteroid-enhancing OXP is strongly recommended to make the asteroid fields more interesting.
 * If the [[Snoopers]] OXP is installed, your escapades as an RRS contractor may make the news. Or they may not. The press are fickle like that.

-The Rescue, Recovery and Salvage (RRS) Group is the leading specialist group for official retrieval of damaged and derelict craft, and rescue of crew and passengers. Installing this OXP adds their stations and ships to some safe systems, where Commanders with a suitable reputation may find a variety of employment offers. [[Image:Arafura1.png|right]]

 ==Background==
@@ Line 5: / Line 6: @@
 Modern spaceships are fairly tough, and it's fairly common for a space battle to leave a few drifting hulks behind, along with the usual clouds of monoatomic vapour. Likewise, while major equipment malfunctions are rare on well-serviced ships, there are plenty of old and badly-maintained ships kept in service out of desperation, one component failure away from drifting into deep space. Shipping companies were very keen to retrieve these derelicts where possible, as were their insurers. Paying out 450,000₢ to replace a Boa is not something even a large company can afford to do very often.
-The technology to do this has been around a while, and Salvage Gangs with their Hognose tugs, and the Deep Space Dredgers with their giant carriers have been making a good living (or at least next week's meal) for decades. However, neither of these groups has a business plan that involves "making money for companies", and so over the years there have been many failed attempts to deal with the problem.

 The shipping companies don't have the money. Margins were already tight - taking fighters off escort duty to try to recover derelicts generally resulted in a net loss in freighters.

 It therefore comes down to independent companies finding the right approach, and RRS Group (founder: Jara Alsthen of [[Sector3/Ceanbibi]]) has been by far the most successful at filling the gap.

Lezaer is the overall HQ for the entire [[Octant]].
 Key to their success are two factors - their custom-built [[Arafura_Rescue_Boat|Arafura Rescue Boats]] equipped with the latest in medical and rescue technology, and their generous independent contractor scheme.
 ==Independent Contractors==
 RRS Group's rapid expansion throughout the Eight Galaxies wouldn't have been possible without the employment of numerous independent contractors and mercenaries. While much of the group's equipment is highly specialised engineering or medical technology, getting that equipment to the right place and back is usually a much simpler task. While the Waystations do have a small number of escort ships and pilots these are mainly employed escorting the Arafuras and defending the station, and so for other jobs RRS runs a well-organised outsourcing department.

 As an incentive for skilled Commanders to stay with RRS, they offer significant discounts on fuel, repairs and equipment to contractors with a consistent record of success, in addition to the basic pay.
