Peacekeepers

The **Peacekeepers** were a military force in the Delta Quadrant, holding a territory bordering the Uncharted Territories and the Scarran Empire. Several other factions in the region recognized the authority of the Peacekeepers, including the Hynerian Empire and the Luxans. Although the Peacekeepers were primarily made up of Sebaceans, there were a handful of members from other species who made their way into the ranks.

## History

The Peacekeepers were originally created to act as guards for the Eidelons, who fostered peace in the regions of space around them. The Eidelons took humans from Earth around 30,000 BCE and engineered them into Sebaceans. The Peacekeepers became trusted acolytes of the Eidelons, and worked closely alongside them for thousands of cycles. They gracefully enforced the peace that had been brokered by the Eidelons.

Around 10,000 BCE, the Eidelons vanished. The Peacekeepers were left behind, but struggled to maintain peace without the help of the Eidelons. Though they sought to remain true to their purpose, they could only determine one way to enforce the peace they had been created for: through military might.

To become the fearsome military force they now needed to be, Peacekeepers restructured entirely. They held Peacekeeper space with an iron fist. Though they engaged in frequent military action, few had the lasting impact of the Peacekeeper/Scarran War. This war, which led to the reemergence of the Eidelons, led to a stalemate in the conflicts between the Peacekeepers and their nemeses in the Scarran Empire.

## Peacekeeper Culture

The Peacekeepers had a strict, militaristic culture. All bonds of family or friendship were frowned upon. These emotional connections were considered illogical. Recreational release of bodily fluids was encouraged, although forming emotional bonds with partners in these activities was severely discouraged.

Though some Peacekeepers were recruited from Sebacean colonies, most were bred through careful programs and raised on command carriers and raised in teams. Sebaceans raised in this environment found loneliness to be utterly intolerable. They were also raised to unquestioningly accept and obey any command from a higher ranking officer.

Genetic purity standards were upheld, which were only occasionally waived -- typically for scientific personnel rather than soldiers. Very few outside of the Sebacean species ever advanced to any meaningful ranks, although Scorpius was one notable exception to this. To maintain this standard, any Sebacean who spent significant amounts of time with an unknown species was executed or exiled after being labeled irreversibly contaminated.

For recreation, Peacekeepers engaged in activities that would enhance their combat prowess. Command carriers included recreation centers, including parks, for children to play in. These "playful activities" would all be carefully engineered to help them develop useful skills for careers as Peacekeeper officers and soldiers.

Peacekeepers did not have a specific religious creed they followed, although they did tell a legend about a deity called Djancaz-Bru -- a goddess who destroyed her worshipers simply because she could.

### Hierarchy

*For more detail, read about Peacekeeper Ranks.*

The Peacekeepers were led by one Grand Chancellor, who was supported by a council called High Command. Below High Command was a myriad of officer ranks who led units of varying sizes. Below those were elite soldiers, who may have led small squads but had mostly earned titles by their skills, abilities, and accomplishments. Soldiers and combat personnel made up the biggest number of Peacekeepers. Doctors and technicians were considered to be lower than combatants, but ranked higher than civilians and scientists.
