Administration of Post and Checks

“Where the Empire expands, the post will follow”
The Postal Administrations motto
The Dalmer post office is an immense Imperial institution, it is the only organization allowed to transport and deliver checks, cash and post, making it incredibly influential in the Empire. 
== First Era: ==
During the first era of the postal service its missions were ensuring the transportation of people, goods, post and checks. Given the immense responsibility, the PFTC were in charge of fleets of trains, boats, vehicles and basically owned all of the vehicular transportation services in the Empire. When the PFTC grouped these four it was at its most powerful, but its role became lesser in the later years.
== Second Era: ==
The second era is marked by the proliferation of Grepan, robotic trucks found all over the Empire. These autonomous units were rounded up by the Dalmer and domesticated. The Empire had no use for the Grepan but couldn’t afford to release them as they were obviously of Dalmer make, being able to enter Dalmer holds without being attacked by automated security. They were obviously Dalmer machines yet no schematics for them appeared on the Aether web. The problem for the Empire was that if they were released the other races could possibly use the technology against the Dalmer, and soon most if not all of the Grepan were herded and kept under lock and key. 
Using cunning political tactics, the PFTC bought the rights to these machines and instituted immense domestication programs in order to use them as beasts of burden that would be more efficient at transporting goods than trains or animals. 
The idea was noble in the sense that it would mean less strain on the local wildlife which the Dalmer had trouble maintaining intact despite intense breeding programs. This was because the other races who depended on the local creatures for the local ecosystem to thrive were beginning to suspect the Dalmer of the disappearance of their beasts (they were right). 
So the Grepan breeding and domestication program seemed like an excellent idea. The problem was that the Dalmer had no idea how the Grepan reproduced and entire herds of them were lost in the study process. Before long a part of the Grepan escaped and multiplied in the wilds, leading to them eventually becoming part of the wildlife of Welt (with the consequences of the Grepan being used in the fashion mentioned above happening). The PFTC fell largely from grace due to its inability to master the Grepan despite the positive results when one was properly domesticated.
Retribution for this failure came when the PFTC was broken down and became the Administration of Posts and Checks. The High Kingdom of Pentagon decided to separate the PFTC and create new civil services, the railways and transportation administration and the Civil freight and haul administration. 
== Third Era: ==
With the advent of electronic messenger services, the Administration of Posts and Checks retained its position as check carrier and package distributor, as little to no letters were used past that point. 
Despite its lack of services, the Administration of Posts and Checks (or Postal Administration) remains an incredibly influential organization as it is the only service allowed to transport checks throughout the Empire. Today it also provides the transportation of governmental funds (alongside banks), banking services and telecommunications. It is also one of the rare institutions to be used Empire wide, and not have national denominations. The postal administration responds directly to imperial measures and uses S.T.A.M.P. soldiers for protection when carrying checks and currency. 
The postal administration is special as only it can deliver checks from the Empire to the Elected Kingdoms, this is why their protection by STAMP is so important. Recently there have been talks of creating a PMC that would work exclusively for the Postal Administration
The Postal Administration will lose its position the very second the Dalmer adopt a dematerialized form of payment.
