R5. Don't interfere with arrivals

The arrivals station, the arrivals shuttle, at the area immediately around the arrivals shuttle at the station ("arrivals") are off-limits to antagonistic activity or damage (even to antagonists). Do not prevent people from safely arriving to the station. Do not cause people to die immediately after arriving at the station.

There is an exemption for antagonists that are allowed to perform mass station sabotage if there is no reasonable way to limit the damage of the mass station sabotage. This exemption only applies to damage that is a direct result of the mass station sabotage.

• Releasing a singularity which damages arrivals. (This may violate other rules depending on the situation)
• Causing a station-wide atmospheric issue which also affects arrivals. (This may violate other rules depending on the situation)

• Attacking or killing someone at the arrivals station.
