Description: Narkina 5 Floor Manager Prefix: DZ Detachment: Underworld Detachment Context: Andor The inmates of Narkina 5 served their sentence in a facility that functioned both as a prison and as a factory. In Narkina 5 Prisons, the inmates were split into groups of seven, with seven work stations per work room and tasked with manual labor. Each level and work room is supervised by an inmate, known as the floor manager. The floor manager maintains order among his fellow inmates, barking commands to ensure a quality performance that will benefit everyone on the cell block. Each floor manager competed with each other, whilst managing inmates and productivity levels. Narkina 5 is home to nearly 5,000 criminals, per facility, many of whom had their sentences doubled as a result of the Public Order Resentencing Program (PORD), with new inmates imprisoned after any criminal act being branded a Class One Offence, even with indirect effect on the Empire.
