Chain of Succession

If the Captain is missing, authority falls to the next in the Chain of Succession, usually the Head of Personnel.

If the Captain and the Head of Personnel are missing, and it is suspected they were taken out of action by a hostile force, authority usually falls to the Head of Security, as missing the top two command positions is deemed as an emergency, and the Head of Security has authority in dealing with station wide emergencies.

If the situation stabilizes itself, a new Captain and a new HoP should be assigned ASAP. It is suggested that the HoS remains in his position to prevent wasting his military training and so the crew doesn't get ideas. (To spell it out, the crew isn't going to like a military putsch for whatever reason.)

If the Captain, HoP and HoS are all missing, then you're pretty screwed either way, and anarchy rules the station then it's a vote between the CE, RD and CMO as how to deal with it, either by assigning a new Captain, by one of them assuming the role, or calling an evacuation as things may be getting pretty bad by then.

So when things are going normal, but a few positions haven't been filled:

Captain -> Head of Personnel -> HoS/CE/RD/CMO (Voting is usually done at this stage).

And in the case of a security emergency:

Captain -> Head of Personnel -> Head of Security -> CE/RD/CMO (Voting is usually done at this stage).

Demoting a Head of Staff

Any head of staff can be demoted by the captain.

If there's no captain, or you wish to demote the captain himself, an unanimous vote of all other non-SSD heads of staff is necessary. If there are two or less heads of staff, there is no official procedure for demoting either of them.

Heads of Staff and Criminal Offence

A Head of Staff proven to have committed a crime can be arrested, but not demoted without going through Demoting a Head of Staff. Arresting the captain based on suspicions is not legal, solid evidence is required.

Summary

The Captain has absolute authority. No other non-captain Head of Staff can overrule the other, except in extreme cases (e.g. criminal activity, mental instability). In the event of missing Captain, authority follows Chain of Succession.
