Droid Enforcement & Safety Agency

## Background

The *Droid Enforcement & Safety Agency* (DES) was an Agency set up by the Required Evidence of Operational Need for Droids Act (REOND) of 30 BBY and oversaw the implementation and provided governance & oversight to the Right to Work & Droid Safety Act (RWDS Act). DES also provided governance & oversight of the Government Sale between an Agency & Jod Military Forces and either a private citizen, private company, or public company.

## DES Technicians

DES Technicians were the public face of DES, manning both DES Monitoring Sites and providing home & business visits in pairs (2 Technicians), ensuring the Right to Work & Droid Safety Act (RWDS Act) is being followed.

DES Technicians were not armed with lethal weaponry, but did carry a Ion Stunner Pistol for protection against droids during home & business visits. The stunner pistol was provided through the Re-Acquisition Product Program.

### **DES Manager Technician**

A DES Manager Technician is a DES Technician who has risen up the ranks to run a DES Monitoring Site. DES Manager Technicians are skilled in both public relations and business, as well as having to be a DES Advanced Repair Technician for at least 2 years beforehand (making them very knowledgeable about droids).

### **DES Advanced Repair Technician**

A DES Advanced Repair Technician is like a Master Mechanic, extremely knowledgeable about all types of droids and the highest rated repair technician for a droid in the Kingdom of Jod. DES Advanced Repair Technicians can do complete rebuilds and structural repairs to a droid, in addition to the most technical software and hardware repairs and upgrades.

### **DES Technician-Basic**

A DES Technician is like a Computer Repair Technician, able to diagnosis and fix most basic to moderately difficult problems with droids' software and hardware. For more advanced repairs, such as complete rebuilds and structural repairs to the droid, a DES Technician has to move the droid repair order up to an DES Advanced Repair Technician.

## Droid Hunter

Droid Hunters were the dirty muscle of the DES and were ruthless in hunting down illegally owned droids, as well as malfunctioning droids and rogue droids. They were typically former or retired Reconnaissance Snipers, Special Tactics Troopers, Maritime Ops Troopers, Naval Extravehicular Troopers, or Naval Reconnaissance Troopers, all which passed rigorous training & evaluations by DES, as well as both criminal & career background checks by the House of Royal Intelligence.

Droid Hunters were given a wide range of powers, authority, and tools to accomplish their ends, sometimes those ends more questionable than not. They are armed with the best weaponry available to take down their targets, most notably Tac Series Strategic Weaponry---and their personal torso armor is a *lighter armored variant* of the Strategic Assault Trooper's, being a vest of armorweave & beskar armor reinforced with visible durasteel plates infused into the beskar armored vest. The combination created reinforced medium armor (instead of the standard reinforced heavy armor); despite the medium armor, the Droid Hunter had great flexibility & range of motion.

## DES Monitoring Sites

DES Monitoring Sites (DMS) were set up on every Major World, Minor World, and Backwater World within the Kingdom of Jod; sometimes up to 5 could be found in a major city, while some Backwater Worlds may only have one site on the entire planet. They were single level buildings with 8 DES Technicians: a DES Manager Technician, a DES Advanced Repair Technician, and two DES Technician-Basics at the monitoring site 5 days a week, 9 hours a day; then 4 DES Technician-Basics traveled in teams of 2 for six days a week, 9 hours a day, conducting home and business visits. Droid Hunters were granted unlimited access to DMS locations around the clock and every day of the year.

Each DMS location featured a manager's office and staff lounge with mini kitchen & refresher (in the back of the building, directly back from the entry door; manager's office to left, lounge to right). To the left of the entry door (with the vertical cylinder roof piece) is the basic greeting desk & diagnosis center. To the right of the entry door (with the horizontal cylinder roof piece) was the droid repair shop, where advanced repairs & upgrades took place with an operating table, multiple tools, and other repair equipment (essentially an emergency room for droids).
