As I'm reviewing a WoWL challenge submission Im reminded of this:<br /><br />"The Royal Marines are in charge of station security. Although the characters responsible for this police work are in a separate branch of the Service, all Royal Marines in the area can be called in to help when trouble breaks out."<br /><br />Has anyone ever tackled detailing this branch?<br /><br />Some thoughts/questions:<br /><br />1. Should it be called a branch? in American service different branches of service are usually Army, Navy, Air Force, etc. <br /><br />Options: Station Security (SS- all sorts of interesting historical conotations to that)<br />Station Patrol?<br /><br />2. Seems its a "division" that funcitons as the MPs or SPs (referred to as Security Police but technically called Security Police Squadron- Air Force)- Royal Marines without KHs skills certainly these individuals have recieve preferential consideration for transfer to the "boat crews"<br /><br />3. While most police forces are simply reactive to crime and do not prosecute it in the tradition of JAG services of militaries everywhere there might also be a JAG section as well. lawyers that could investigate and presecute/defend in court.<br /><br /><br />Also I think its obvious that the above statement was included in the module to allow the GM to "rail road" the players a little and involve them in action on the station. "You just happen to be present when a fight breaks out at the Dance and Dice; two Royal Marines SPs are badly outnumbered in the riot, what do you do?"
