Outer Reach Militia (Peacekeepers and “Enforcers”)

The Militia for Outer Reach, Dramune has two branches that
operate independent of each other:

Peacekeepers
– they are the planet-side police force. This police force is part Styrigian
Nation. They enforce all major laws (such as assault, murder, etc) and take
down any dissidents before they begin to grow.

Enforcers
– they are the police force for the space stations, moons and anything in
orbit. They are a branch of the Maltharian Confederation, and by extension part
of the Malthar Syndicate. They enforce all major laws and anything that will
disrupt or endanger the space stations of the government (Malthar).

The Enforcers also maintain a small fleet for defense of the
system and the Maltharian Confederation. This force has several active and
reserve ships.

Frigate: ORMS Drasimian

Frigate: ORMS Starhawk

Assault Scout: ORMS Hammer

Assault Scout: ORMS Fury

Reserve Frigate: Mellisian Alabar<o:p></o:p>

Reserve Assault Scout: Camarian<o:p></o:p>

Reserve Assault Scout: Zebbalow<o:p></o:p>

The Enforcers’ fleet provides multiple types of missions and
also provides a service to the public. These missions range from escort,
interdiction and “customs” inspections to standard patrols.

The
escort missions are as directed or requested. Of course, requesting an escort
is not free and is only for inside the system. (Assault Scout - 25,000 credits;
Frigate – 50,000 credits).

The
interdiction mission is a result of a “tip” and is a direct interception of
possible terrorists or “criminals”. An Enforcer ship will stop the suspected
ship and board her for inspection and interrogation of the crew. If a person or
company knows of a possible incident, they can report this. Sometimes the administration
is slow to react. A fee of 30,000 credits can expedite this process.

Custom
inspections are to prevent an illegal product from entering the system. An
Enforcer ship will stop the suspected ship and board her for cargo inspection
and then depart. If a person or company knows of a possible incident, they can
report this. Sometimes the administration is slow to react. A fee of 15,000
credits can expedite this process.

Finally,
patrols are standard patrols. This is to insure security of the space stations,
moons and the system.

The
Commander of the Enforcers is Admiral Jack McGee. He answers directly to
Malthar, the dictator of the Maltharian Confederation. Positions within the
Enforcers is not earned but, bought. Buying rank is easy if you have the
influence but, you will also need the ability to keep it. Politics is rampant
within the Enforcers as people blackmail, influence and sometimes murder the
competition to move up.

The
ORMS Starhawk is famous for this. Captain Cha’tkla was the commander of the
Starhawk until she failed to prevent a strike on Darkworld Station by the UPF
during the last Inner/Outer Darmune war. Malthar flushed her out the nearest
airlock. The XO for the Starhawk was a
Darlasite named Dlob. He bought his promotion and became the new CO. Within a
week, Dlob was found in his cabin dead. It was an apparent overdose of Ixiol. A
local boss then bought his son the captain’s chair of the Starhawk, John
Quntien. He was a lady’s man and was presumed to be caught with the wrong lady
a week later. His body was never fully, found. A Yazirian brawler named Yarl
then tried to command the Starhawk. He lasted three days before a disagreement
on the bridge turned into a deadly brawl with the XO, Sheila McClure (human). Sheila is
currently the CO of the Starhawk but, she is the fifth one in 3 weeks. This
illustrates the risks involved with command.
