Below are the standing orders for the Research & Development department, in addition to the standing orders for the Galactic Anthropology Committee, which was absorbed into R&D. These standing orders are currently pending a rewrite in order to fully merge the departments; until such time, the standing order relevant to the area of the R&D department in question shall be used - however the R&D standing orders shall have primacy for any conflicts.
The GAC chair is no longer a PFA position.

Research & Development Standing Orders
- The Research & Development Department (R&D) will have the primary responsibility for researching and developing new technologies for use by the Fleet.
- The R&D Team shall be a loosely organized unit whose membership (Excluding the Director) shall be determined at the discretion of the Director of R&D, subject to the laws of Pegasus Fleet. In the case of the Director and Deputy Director, the procedures of the Selection Policy must be followed. This membership will consist of:
- Director of Research & Development
- Deputy Director of R&D
- Tech Team Members
- The Development Process is simple and follows this framework:
- The new technology (Including Temporary tech on a one mission bases) is sent to The Director of R&D for review, editing and framing into a proposal for review.
- Reasonable proposals will not be refused except on the following grounds:
- Goes against canon Laws or treaties
- Is too powerful for consideration
- Reproduces existing technology without significant advantage or reason
- Where the idea is a temporary one, the Director of R&D will respond to the request to the CO within 7 days of when the request was made with a Yes, No or modified answer. Unless the idea is something that would benefit the entire Fleet, temporary requests will stop at this step.
- The Director of R&D will post the new technology for public review on the Research & Development Forum.
- The discussion shall remain open for the greater of 1 week or 3 days after discussion has stopped, but no longer than 2 week's time.
- If the discussion does not reach the 2 week time limit, then the new technology will be considered to have passed by "Unanimous Consent"
- If the discussion would extend past the 2 week time limit, then the new technology will be presented to the PFA for vote as if it were a "Standing Order"
- If a technology is rejected by the PFA, then it will either be completely dropped or revised and reintroduced into the process, at the discretion of the Director of R&D.
- Technology that has passed will be entered into the appropriate Fleet IFS Database or Wiki, as well as the discussion topic moved into the Approved Technology Forum.
