APU Dragon Bone Division Organization in World Behind the Veil | World Anvil

APU Dragon Bone Division

A division dedicated to the protection and retrieval of unauthorized dragon bone pieces and talismans. The funding of the operation comes from various sources.   Jeremy Walker is the director of operations for the division and runs the day to day. He reports directly to the board of directors of APU Security. The division is largely autonomous within the wider company.

Division Structure

The division is headed by a small management layer that coordinates each of the teams and units. They are assisted by small administrative team that takes care of various administrative tasks.

Analytics Team

A team of analysts and researchers that collects data and uses this data to determine potential locations of unauthorized dragon bone pieces and talismans. Once a potential piece has been tracked down a retrieval team is sent out to determine the exact location. The team contracts various other intelligence services and field agents to provide them with potential information. Whenever someone comes with credible information a bounty may be paid out of up to $10'000 dollars.

Retrieval Team

The field teams are specialized in retrieving localized dragon bone pieces and talismans. Usually the teams will attempt to covertly retireve the pieces from wherever they are stored. When things go south they do have the fighting power to subdue any single person who wields a powerful talisman. When direct confrontation is expected they always field one or more agents that specialize in fighting magic users. There are a total of six teams usually named after the city they headquarter in.

Protection Unit

The protection unit fields between 400 - 600 guards worldwide. They are deployed as smaller teams where needed and have some fixed assignments to guard dragon bone storage facilities and auctions. Beyond that they escort dragon bone talisman transports and guard dragon bone excavation sites.    

Dragon Bone Detection Stations

The purpose of these stations is to detect the presence of dragon bones in a wide radius. Dragon bones have a specific mystical signature that can be picked up by dedicated supernatural detection arrays. These arrays are operated by a spell caster who can perform a wide range mystical signature detection spell. Each station requires at least 4 pracitioners to guarantee full 24h coverage of the area. However, it is not easy to recruit these practitioners.   The stations are placed in major cities around the world where many illegal dragon bones have been found in the past. The maximum range of a single station is around 200km, but mostly it will just cover the city it is in.   Station Locations:
