***`“The tragedy of conflict is that it uses our best to do our worst”`***

*`- Istaria Lirtal -`*

The **Imperial** organisation known as the **Renowned National Delegation**, or more commonly known as the **R.N.D.**, is a multi law enforcement organization and intelligence agency within the Athalmar Empire, specializing in the busting and subversion of **Organized Crime** and **Espionage**. It's highest office was always held by the ruling Athalor or Athalora of the Empire, having near full executive authority over the institution.

## History

### Founding

During the period of Athalmar history know as *'Affairs of Dominion'*, the Empire found itself with rising insurrectionist and criminal activity. The Athalora at the time, Aralana Lathau, created the *Renowned National Delegation* to **enforce the rule of law and expand the military doctrine**, that had been so successful in their new colonial domains, **into the civilian population and authorities** across the Empire. Both **Athalmar** and **Sinatu** terrorist cells and crime groups were cracked down upon with customary ruthlessness from **Athalora Lathau** and her government, as the punishment for crimes was broadened to include capital punishment and the creation of a new indentured tier of citizenship, where individuals could be classified within servitude, thralls (slaves) or even cattle.

The ranks of the **RND** were composed of ranking military officials, engineers and scientists that scored top of their class, renowned diplomats and dedicated sociologists, as well as hand picked and engineered personnel from all across the Empire.

## A Cornerstone of Society

The many aspects of disciplinary Athalmar stoicism allow for an extensive pool of candidates to be utilized by the **RND**. The institution not only specializes in purging all facets of crime, but also to report on possible issues and flaws regarding local populaces to the central government. Despite the **RND** not operating locally, it has proven itself capable at counterespionage and cyberwarfare, utilizing this not only within its own borders but throughout.

The **RND** is renowned for mounting highly coordinated surgical strikes into neighbouring Empires, deemed dangerously aligned with the enemies of Ataros. Despite not all undertakings of the organisation being public knowledge, the **RND** is especially liked and looked up to by the Athalmar people, whilst the rest of races within the Empire have mixed feelings towards them.

## The Shield and Terror

The **RND**, much like the Empire it operates under, is an institution that thrives to establish order and progress across the galaxy, but does not shy away from ruthless and methodical action to achieve their goals. To the wider Galaxy, the presence of the **RND** at any given location is a sign of constant worry, never truly understanding if the Athalmar have arrived for information or blood. Throughout its existence, the **RND** would continue to receive further funding, in order to support the growing interests and flanks of the Empire.

Besides assassinations, subterfuge, smuggling, hacking or open confrontation, the **RND** is also famous for being the main source of candidates for the prestigious Diplomatic Corps of the Athalor, an small circle of individuals hand picked by the highest authority within the Empire. These individuals are chosen for their encyclopedic knowledge and universal capabilities. Among very gifted statesmen, ruthless agents and silver tongued diplomats, they are part of one of the most capable branches in the entire Galaxy, with some even rising to become future Athalor or Athaloras.
