Empyrean Security

Empyrean Security, also known as E-SEC, is a private corporate security agency that serves as the civil protection and military arms for the city of Empyrea. Members of E-SEC are known as "Paralegals" amongst the middle and upper classes and "Swine" amongst the lower classes. E-SEC is most likely the largest megacorp in the Empyrea Metroplex, though have not really had success trying to expand further out of it. As many point out, the modern iteration of E-SEC, in practice, acts more like an actual government than a traditional corp, with the Genesis Group being the only people who can even remotely keep them in check. Empyrean Security is ran and owned by Zero, a blue-scaled Greater Chromatic Dragon who, again, despite E-SEC technically being a corp, acts and is treated essentially as the city mayor. Empyrean Security forces are split into a few primary sections.

### Primary Goals

To maintain the status quo and handle major threats to the city, often through rather brutal "pacification" efforts.

## Civil Protection/Patrol Officers (CPU)

Civil Protection officers are the "common" E-SEC you'll find standing on a street corner, arresting Orks for "suspicious behavior" and handing out parking tickets. Though an issue for Civilians, especially since they're usually armed, these guys are a joke to Wastehunters. Civil Protection is the lowest of the low, called in to deal with shit like loitering or burglaries.

## Special Response Unit (SRU)

The Special Response Unit is what Wastehunters actually deal with. These guys are strong, a lot of ex-Wastehunters, skilled Mages, and well-trained Stalkers. The Special Response Unit is most often sent to deal with Wastehunters, and as such the two groups have quite a lot of hostility towards each other even outside of their workplaces. This is not to say your average SRU would stand a chance against high level issues,

## Pest Management Unit (PMU)

A process done via corporate acquisition and merging caused the rather secretive "Callista's Pest Management Company" to get moved into E-SEC, though the PMU still VERY much have their own culture and are not keen on adopting the faux-patriotism of a lot of their new coworkers. The PMU are disciplined, well-armed, and terrifying. They deal with cryptid attacks and investigations, often not insignificant ones, and a large amount of their department is made up of very intelligent scientists. The PMU also hires quite a lot of Wastehunters as temporary mercenaries, since their department is kinda known for being understaffed.

## Nightline Investigation Department (NID)

Another smaller corp that was actually purchased by E-SEC and merged into each other, the NID are the detectives who deal with unnatural or unusual situations. In addition to helping with the common dusting of fingerprints and all that jazz, NID is called in a lot to deal with things that seem extraordinarily suspicious, and rumor has it are also called in to "clean up" E-SEC's incidents when they go south. Of course, these are all just rumors...

## Emergency Medical Responders (EMR)

The EMR are a tactical division of AutoDoc that has a complicated contract with E-SEC, essentially allowing E-SEC to train them and deploy them as "Street Surgeons". These guys always come well equipped, and they are by no means bound by the hippocratic oath, often carrying the same level of firepower as an SRU and having no qualms shooting at anything that makes them feel mildly uncomfortable. These guys are basically just corpos who have been taught how to use guns, and they absolutely act like it.

## Empyrean Border Control (EBC)

Despite the name, the EBC has very little to do with immigration (which is pretty much free game in the EFS), and is actually the military defense arm of E-SEC. Amongst all the departments of E-SEC, the EBC are the ones you're most likely to find, if not good people, at the very least people with *some* kind of ethics and morality intact. The EBC deal with a lot of low level cryptids and other similar problems, go-gangers out in the Greylands, and while it's not very common, they have repelled the occasional inter-state skirmish. The EBC have been massively scaled up since the Second Occult War, and while before you'd be forgiven for thinking the EBC weren't really any better than a common SRU, the modern EBC are extremely well-trained, disciplined, and often have quite a lot of disdain for other departments.
