Colonial Wardens
Articles of the Code of Conduct
Second Revision 2301
(adopted from 17 System Guard
Corps Operations Manual)

ARTICLE I

I will always remember that I am a Colonial citizen, fighting in the forces that preserve my world and our
way of life. I have resigned to give my life in their defense.

ARTICLE II

I will never surrender of my own volition. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my
command while they still have the will and/or means to resist.

ARTICLE III

If I am captured, I will continue to resist by any and all means available. I will make every effort to
escape and to aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

ARTICLE IV

If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information nor
take part in any action which might be harmful to fellow Colonial citizens.

If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and
will uphold them in every way.

ARTICLE V

Should I become a prisoner of war, I am required to give name, rank, and willingly submit to retinal and
DNA analysis. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability and will not
consciously submit to cerebral scans of any kind. I will make no oral, written, or electronic statements
disloyal to the colonies or harmful to their cause.

ARTICLE VI

I will never forget that I am fighting for freedom, that I am responsible for my actions, and that I am
dedicated to the principles that make my world free. I will trust in my god or gods and in the Colonial
Alliance forever.
