The Selunite Watch
The preeminent Law Enforcement agency of the Selunite Alliance; the Watch acts under a strict code of conduct and employs well-trained operatives, making it one of the most trusted enforcement agencies in the Galaxy. The purpose of the Watch is not only to enforce the law but also to ensure the well-being of Selunites.
The Watch itself is overseen through a centralized command, led by the Commander of the Watch, who in turn supervises and delegates tasks to three Watchlords, or Senior Commanders. The Selunite Alliance is subdivided into Wards, with each Ward being patrolled by a Division of the Watch.

ACTIVITIES
The Selunite Watch is responsible for performing everyday policing duties; They never act beyond the boundaries of the Alliance. A peacekeeping force, they are responsible for solving crimes, apprehending criminals, and deterring further crimes. The Watch is also employed as Custom Wardens, stationed at important Starports to prevent and curb smuggling.
TACTICS
Typically patrolling in groups of four; with two Constables, one Armar, and one Civilar; in calmer regions, these detachments are even smaller, often consisting of only two officers. Conversely, locations with higher crime rates are often patrolled by groups of eight during the day and twelve during the night. As the preeminent law enforcement agency, and considered a peacekeeping force, the Selunite Watch is often equipped with non-lethal or less-than-lethal armaments; with only specialized detachments utilizing lethal arms and deployed at the discretion of Senior Civilar or Ward Civilar.
BASE OF OPERATIONS
The Watch's main base of operations is the Twilight Sanctuary on the Moon of Selun.
There are multiple Watch Posts maintained throughout Alliance Territory; not usually located on main streets, all are identified easily by a gold lantern that hands outside. These posts serve as local headquarters, armories, stations for individuals to report crimes, and temporary jailhouses to hold prisoners. Each Watch Post is always commanded by a Senior Civilar.

THE WATCH
The Selunite Watch was founded with the understanding that not only with the people need to be defended from threats without, but they also needed to be defended from threats within. Officers are well-trained in a number of civil fields and are held to a strict code of conduct to secure the faith of the everyday individual in Officers of the Watch. No Officer of the Watch is above reproach and is held to a higher standing due to their position of power over their fellow citizens.
As Criminal Influence continues to grow, the Watch has begun a renewed focus on securing not only the Moon of Selun; they have extended their Law Enforcement Operations to neighboring Systems and Alliance Members to provide additional support in curbing these criminal enterprises.
