The Ethics Committee[1], more commonly known as the Committee, is an independent and civilian department that takes place in SCPF: THETA, and acts as the primary body for all forms of enforcement, regulation, and authority within Research Cavern Orion, it has been with the foundation since the beginning, and has served as one of the smallest civilian departments within the Foundation for some time since 2018. It has an Overseer that represents it on behalf of all administrative departments, and features primarily on-site based duties, and off-based duties alike. This department specialises in the enforcement of the Codex[2], on behalf of the Council. In addition to adding policies, and altering them for Research Cavern Orion.
Structure
The department fundamentally has a more simplified rank structure featuring the lowest amount of ranks that a department has to date, only being larger then the Foundation Intelligence Service in terms of ranks, that being said with the Ethics Committee their ranks hold significant authority within each rank and because of this the amount of personnel allowed into these positions is very limited due to the sensitive nature of both the content of work, and the usage of work.
| Rank | Type | Clearance | Requirements | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chairman of the Committee | Directorate | Security Level-4 | Handpick | Directorate of the department, responsible for general leadership, upper management and department politics |
| Ranking Committee Member | Executive | Security Level-3 | The executive floor of the Ethics Committee is an administrative assembly that handles with the verdict on all legislative, enforcement, and precedent matters, their focus is on the Ethics Committee as a whole, and ensure the integrity of the actions of said committee are never unjust. Members also handle with all administrative matters. | |
| Special Liaison | Command | Security Level-2 | Serving as the primary body of the Committee, individuals whom are ranked as a liaison are generally considered representatives of the committees' best, despite an already extremely selective group of individuals, each one are better in their own right with different objectives, and that is reflective within the department. As more specialised individuals are introduced, the more they are promoted. | |
| Committee Liaison | Employee | Being selected by application. | ||
| Committee Associate | Security Level-1 | The entry rank into the department, serves as a temporary rank before being inducted fully into the department as a regulating official. |

The Revamp
Following the resignation of TanaAutarch from the Committee, the department was completely revamped from the ground up by a new directorate member, transferring over from the Department of External Affairs as director from both departments, during this transition they spent numerous weeks revamping all committee documentation, policies, and effective decision-making by the appointment of his tenure as Director, however there was controversy in this decision to replace TanaAutarch with another Director of the same Foundation, and in addition to this, TanaAutarch was believed to be forcibly removed from the department rather than a true resignation, however this is mostly speculation and no evidence has ever surfaced since then.
New Policies
With the revamp of the Committee, the committee decided to slash the ranks of the committee down by 3 ranks to keep the overall structure of the department smaller, as in effectiveness, the department was previously pushing nearly 30 committee members, and was barely pushing 1 person to be active, in addition to this they decided to make punishments have actual consequences and have them reflect on future cases depending on the severity of the crime. Their revamp of the Codex and policies that effectively made the regulations of the foundation on a fundamental basis are altered and utilised by the Committee on a firsthand basis as they are given the complete authority over the Codex.
