Republican Guard
The Republican Guard is the federal police force of the Federal Republic, it ensures the security of citizens throughout the space of the Republic with the help of the sectorial police, except on planets where the planetary or municipal police take over. However, if the case affects more than one planet, the Republican Guard automatically takes charge, making it the largest police organization in the Republic.
Structure
The leader of the Republican Guard, the Director of the Guard, is appointed by the Secretary of Civil Security from a candidate chosen by the Office of the Federal Civil Service, his headquarters is in Paris on Earth. It is divided into four branches: the Space Division, the Planetary Division, the Cyber Division and the Governmental Division. All these divisions have a major general who take orders from the General of the Guard, the head of the field forces and the highest in the hierarchy, except for the Governmental Division which is independent of political power. Other services are under the authority of the Director of the Guard, these can handle administrative matters, such as human resources, public affairs, internal affairs that had an independant nomination process and many others.
Space Division
Each sector is subdivided into several zones which include one or several systems, these areas are each covered by many division's capital ships who can host smaller vessels and several space stations which allow the maintenance of these said vessels, the two are directed by captains. The area as a whole is headed by a major who assigns patrol routes and assignments for personnel. These are under the orders of a colonel who direct each sectors and takes the orders of the major general who reports to the General of the Guard. This division has several specialized units to be able to face any type of mission. For example, tactical units specializing in boarding and low-gravity operations to deal with particularly difficult situations or intelligence units to collect information on suspects. Also, to support the division, the sectoral police units responsible for enforcing the law in space are placed under the command of the Republican Guard to respond to calls, but it is the latter which takes care of the investigation.
Planetary Division
The Planetary Division is responsible for crimes committed on planets that cannot be dealt with by other police services or who falls under federal jurisdiction. It also supports the related services of each police station that it manages, such as the scientific analysis of each of its crime scenes or electronic investigation. She is also responsible for investigating interplanetary affairs for seek as well as prosecute the criminals attached to it with their Special Agent and Supervisory Special Agent who are under the orders of the Special Agent in Charge, which is under the order of the Colonel. An other rank is Junior Special Agent, these are new recruits who are starting their career.
These ones are under the orders of a commissioner, they are in charge of local investigations which fall under federal jurisdiction. Most important cities on a planet has a commissariat of the Republican Guard where a commissionner is assigned who takes the orders of the major directed the planet, who is under the orders of the colonel directed the sector who takes the orders of the major general who reports to the general of the guard. This division has several specialized units to be able to face any type of mission. For example, tactical units to deal with particularly difficult situations or intelligence units to collect information on suspects.
Cyber Division
This division is in charge of monitoring activity on the Republican Space Network, the infrastructure that hosts most of the Republic's digital activity, to detect anomalies that might indicate violations that are under their responsibility or that need to be transferred to other agencies, such as financial crimes. The division is directed by a major general who has under his responsibility colonels whose purpose is to direct the antennas of the division in a sector, these last are under the direction of a captain. The antennas are generally juxtaposed with a police station of the planetary division to take advantage of their equipment and their personnel.Governmental Division
It is responsible for investigating all members of the federal government who have committed political crimes. As a result, the law requires the President to spend enough money to function properly to avoid blackmail by the executive. The law also requires the commanding officer to swear that he will be completely independent during his term of office. The major general must be appointed by an independent commission which will choose a candidate and have it approved by a vote at the Federal Court of Political Crimes. Each sector is then managed by a major who is responsible for distributing these teams across the sector according to the current business. The teams are led by a lieutenant who takes charge of the investigation. This one uses the infrastructure of the planetary division and can claim all the means necessary for its investigation to the colonel of the planetary division. Once the investigation is completed and the charges laid, the suspect is tried by a political crimes court.
