Security
Agents
If we're going to have criminal thugs,
and we're going to feature characters like Smugglers and Con-Artists,
we should feature law enforcement as well. After all, what is it
that the smuggler is slipping past, and who are the criminals on the
run from other than the police?
Star Wars is surprisingly mum on the
topic. Wookiepedia has a terse couple of articles that say little
more than what a law enforcement officer does and offers few
examples. In the films themselves, we occasionally see storm
troopers acting in a capacity similar to law enforcement, usually
responding to crises and questioning random passerbys about droids.
Even the Bounty Hunters of Star Wars are closer to paid hitmen than
they really resemble people who collect fugitives from law
enforcement.
So, in Psi-Wars, we'll be charting our
own course, borrowing from generic sci-fi works that seem to fit, and
doing what space opera generally does, which is take the modern world
and truss it up with sci-fi gadgetry.
