Westport Guard

Structure

Captain of the Guard - The official leader of the guard and representative between the lowly officers and the nobility that runs Westport.

Chief Officer - Veteran officers that train recruits, as well as planning of interventions and missions.
Officer - The title of an average guardsman.

Public Agenda

The Guard exist to protect and serve the average citizen of Westport and to keep their streets safe and clean from crime, or at least to keep criminal gangs, shady business and unwarranted groups of people away from the eyes of the middle class and aristocrazy. They are also direct representatives of the Vargas family and at times serve as their personal bodyguards or henchmen.

Assets

The guards have two uniforms depending on duty. For average patrols or calls of petty crime, they are usually armed with just electric batons, regal uniforms, a plate helmet and radio to call potential backup. For raids, they have a full plate and gambeson armour combined with riotshields, military grade weapons and often Custodian units to serve as meatshields.
Each district of Westport is also home to three different command centrals for the guard and they also own a university and headquarters within the finest parts of the city. Every different district is also spread into subsections which all own a different toolset to best serve the potential situations they might encounter. Hence the coastal regions own a few ships, while the the ones in the outskirts have a small cavalary.

History

The guard is one of the oldest organizations to exist within Westport. Their roots go as far back as a thousand and twohundered years, with their members having been pirates and freebooters of the old bay. As the pirate free city grew exponentially from a mix between traders, adventurers and migrants from the Golden Empire, the old watch of pirates meant to keep the peace had to evolve into their own unit to keep up with the potential security threats.
Thanks to their idolization by the high and middleclass, accompanied by their adventurous roots, the Westportian guard has never seen a dark day for either their economics, manpower or influence. They were and have always been one of the citystates most powerfull groups linked to the old Pirate Captain - Daniel Varga's crew, which in the modern day have evolved into the third most powerfull family within the country. This also makes the guard directly tied to it's old roots and the bloodties between the Captain of the Guard and the Vargas family must always remain pure to the point anyone not of the current Patriarch's own blood can only ever climb to the rank of Captain if they are loyally married to one of his sons or daughters.
