Galactic Federation Security

**Galactic Federation Security**, also referred to simply as **GFS**, or as **Judicial Security** or **Triumvirate Security**, is the centralised law enforcement organisation of the Galactic Federation Triumvirate. Headquartered on the capital of Coruscant and operating across most of Triumvirate Space, the GFS was formed in the aftermath of the Second Imperial Civil War in 140 ABY. It serves in tandem with the Galactic Federation Defense Forces to keep the peace throughout the galaxy. While the Defense Forces handle military threats, Galactic Federation Security handles civil threats and criminal activity. Besides day-to-day police work and investigatory work, the GFS also operates detention centers and correctional facilities across the galaxy. Galactic Federation Security reports to the judicial branch of the Triumvirate, the Galactic Federation Tribunal. Members of GFS are collectively known as *Officers* or *Judicials*.

The GFS is separated into three main Offices, the Office of Criminal Investigations, the Office of Galactic Marshals and the Office of Sector Ranges, each with their own responsibilities but working together to ensure galactic peace. The GFS cooperates with local planetary and interstellar law enforcement agencies, such as the Imperial Security Bureau that handles the security of the Fel Empire or the Coruscant Security Force that handles policing of the galactic capital.

The New Jedi Order collaborates with the GFS, offering their help in galactic peacekeeping efforts when it is requested. This can be to aid in investigations with their use of the Force, or to capture dangerous individuals like Rogue Jedi and Dark Jedi. Jedi can be deputized as Special Enforcement Officers (SEOs), equivalent to the role of a Galactic Marshal.

## Offices

* **Office of Criminal Investigations**: Also known as *OCI*, it is the primary criminal investigative service managed by the Galactic Federation Tribunal. The OCI is charged with coordinating and carrying out criminal investigations, including data collection, forensics and interrogations, and managing the Triumvirate Enforcement DataCore, a database listing of criminals wanted by the Triumvirate. They are given jurisdiction on a case-by-case basis and follow up on interstellar crime after it has already been committed or to investigate suspected criminal activity and organisations, including smugglers, drug cartels, slavers, etc. It is headquartered at the Judicial Arcology on the planet Coruscant. The OCI is led by a Director and its members are generally referred to as Investigators or Inspectors.
* **Office of Galactic Marshals**: Also known as the *OGM*, it is office that controls the Galactic Marshals. As their name suggests, the Marshals are galactic law enforcement officers who have jurisdiction and authority across all of Triumvirate Space in order to perform their duties. Their main duties included the capture and escort of galactic criminals and fugitives, protection of important Triumvirate government officials and carrying out special operations. Unlike the other Offices, the Galactic Marshals tend to work in smaller groups and do not possess as much hierarchy. Below its Central Command are Task Forces, Squads and Patrol Units of varying sizes without any Sector Branches or Planetary Precincts. The OGM is lead by a Director and its members are called Marshals.
* **Office of Sector Rangers**: Also known as the *OSR*, is the office that controls the Sector Rangers who act as a sector-level law enforcement organization. Charged with the mandate of being a universal police agency, to apprehend galactic criminals and keep the peace in every sector of the Galactic Federation Triumvirate. While local law enforcement agencies were restricted by planetary or systems-wide jurisdictional boundaries, the Sector Rangers were able to pursue criminals anywhere within a given sector. When crime expanded outside of their given sector, they could cooperate with neighboring Sector Branches to apprehend criminals. If the situation required it, the Sector Rangers could also request the aid of the Galactic Marshals whom would be able to act in any Triumvirate sector. The OSR is led by Sector Ranger Central Command and its Director. Its members are called Rangers.
