Law Enforcement

Bounty Board and APBs

Law Enforcement in the Federation is first a planet-level issue, escalating to the Federation only in certain criminal cases. Petty crimes, misdemeanors, or planet-specific laws being broken fall on a planet to enforce. Each planet is allowed to post wanted individuals to a Banner-wide bounty board. The more lucrative of a bounty on a person, the more likely they will be caught and returned to the original planet for their punishment. In the more heinous cases, the Federation might send their own bounty out for the arrest of individuals. These bounties are often more lucrative and dangerous.

All Point Bulletins

APBS are specific bounties that are only raised during the most urgent of crimes. The planet that placed the APB will send a specific alarm to the planet and all planets surrounding it. These alarms are not just limited to the bounty boards, but can also be shown on the Communications and Collaboration Charter universal network. These are only used in extreme circumstances, but can raise an entire civilian populace to be aware of a criminal and to report them in.

Federation Bounty Squads

If a bounty is put on your head, it is advised to turn yourself in before the Undaunted Bounty Squads hear about you. Not much running to be done once they are on your tail.

Federation Bounty Squads are self-organized units that group up to hunt down and receive bounties. Often times these squads contain the most fearsome and powerful individuals that the Federation has to offer. Some Squads even recruit from active or retired military, especially from the Undaunted Gutwrenchers. These squads typically only go after bounties that are worth their time, saving the smaller prey for individual hunters.
