Imperial Marhsals

A branch of the MoJ, the Imperial Marshals are one of the most publicly visible forces of the Imperial Government. They guard the Imperial Courts, pursue Imperial Criminals such as pirates or rogue bounty hunters, work on extradition cases, and are the subject of countless media dramas. At least as many young boys and girls dream of growing up to join the Imperial Marshals as ever dream of becoming a heroic Navy sailor or Marine soldier, and it is a well-known fact that knighthood may be granted through this service just as through military service.

Imperial Marshals only work at the Imperial level, and cannot interfere in violations of the law on most worlds. However they are often called in by local world police organizations (via the Local Noble) to assist on difficult cases, both for their high level of training and education, as well as for their access to high tech forensics gear. In these cases, by long standing tradition, they gain full local police powers and jurisdiction in these cases. It then becomes up to the Imperial Marshals (or their superiors), as to how long they remain on the case (but no longer than it takes to solve the case).
