Galactic Police (GalCop)


Overview

The Galactic Police (GalCop), is the law enforcement organization of the Galactic Co-operative of Worlds. Its task is to ensure safety and prevent crime on the space lines of member systems. Any event on a planet or moon is in the jurisdiction of the local government.

While officially controlled by the council of justice it is common practice to patrol in a team with local space police or navy units. For troubled systems GalCop deputies could be sworn in, some of these deputies are actually hired mercenaries. Some local governments replaced GalCop nearly entirely with their own law enforcement troops.

A strict rotation process is trying to prevent that officers are becoming criminals themself. However, especially in undeveloped areas corruption is widely spread and it's not unheard that members turn into pirates themself.


Divisions

A special unit of hand-picked GalCop officers who have shown exceptional ability. Equipped with advanced ships and weapons they target the high level organized crime activity in sector 7.


Ships

While the ships of choice are the Viper and the Viper Interceptor the organization receives permanent donations or large discounts of several fighters so, in reality, a wide pool of crafts is available.
