To possess a pet, one must fill out the claim form below. Describe the pet in a separate biography. The maximum is one pet per role player, unless the problem is one of 'the cat just had kittens'. If this is the case, you may keep the kittens/puppies/hatchlings/etc for a maximum of one and a half months, whereupon they must either be re-homed to someone on the ship or given/sold to another character. Fish are the only acceptable violation of this rule, as they are so docile. Still, having fifty fish is not acceptable, and the line is drawn at fifteen.
Animals that are essentially dogs, amphibians, etc, and are known to be essentially harmless, even if not listed are acceptable, as they fall beneath one of the species listed. If said new species is different in appearance (such as Alfa 177 Canine versus a dog), it will be listed here.
Notes are placed beside each potential animal. If animals do have offspring and they need to be claimed, they will make a post on this thread, naming the species, breed, etc, and asking for takers. In the case of adopting a pet born aboard, age minimums are not in effect. DESTRUCTIVE ANIMALS OF ANY SPECIES ARE NOT PERMITTED.
Note: Rules seem to be made to be broken by characters; your character might sneak a pet on board against the rules, but will be punished by the command staff in such circumstances.
