+While all [[civilian]] spacecraft must be registered with the [[Colonial Administration Authority]] (CAA), any ship outfitted with a [[slipspace drive]] must have periodic inspections and licenses approved by the DCS. These vessels are in turn assigned a [[Ship Identification Number]] (SIN) at commissioning that forms a part of its permanent identification alongside an [[identification friend or foe]] (IFF) code and an administrative record.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=115}}
