| | | |
− | Technically a division of the United Planets ConStel Naval Service, Star Patrol serves as security and law enforcement across the UP. Recruits attend the ConStel Naval Academy with those of suitable skill and character being recruited into one of three areas: Rocket Recon, the Nexus Rangers, or the Constel Naval Service Fleet (commonly referred to as 'The Fleet').

− | ==Rocket Recon== | + | ==United Planets Fleet Personnel== |
| | | |
− | Rocket Recon teams are elite response and law enforcement units assigned to handle a broad array of local and cross-jurisdiction situations. Each unit has a designated number to officialy identify it, along with a possibly official nickname such as the Wrecking Crew (RR-1), Rocketeers (RR-7) or Starblasters (RR-11). A RR-x team are assigned a dedicated Patrol Response vessel, a top-of-the-line or even prototype rocketship suited to the duties of Rocket Recon.

| | | |
− | A typical RR-x team will comprise:
| + | Captain Virginia 'The Vendetta' Cartwright |
− | *CO
| |
− | *XO
| |
− | *Pilot
| |
− | *1-3 Junior Star Patrol Officers
| |
− | *1-3 Deputized non-SP personnel
| |
| | | |
− | The highest rank within a RR-x team is Commander, higher ranks are reserved for command positions within the Fleet.
| + | Lt. Aislinn 'Ace' Cartwright |
| | | |
− | Often, but not always, the XO & Pilot position will be held by the same Officer.
| + | Lt. Shayla of Tantir |
| | | |
− | Due to the high-profile nature of their work, many RR-x team members become minor (or major) celebrities within the United Planets.

| | | |
− | Nexus Rangers specialise in cross-jurisdiction law enforcement, tracking criminals across multiple systems and sectors when needed. Most Nexus Rangers operate alone or in pairs. Becoming a Nexus Ranger requires extensive additional training or experience.

− | | + | * The ''Vultura'', Raptor-class transport |
− | The United Planets draw a distinction between Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Personalities. | |
− | | |
− | Artificial Intelligence covers most adaptive computer systems, but are generally simple systems that only fulfil their intended function. These are quite common.
| |
− | | |
− | Artificial Personalities are the advanced form of AI, in which the AI has developed a sense of self and self-awareness and is no longer restricted in scope. These are quite rare.
| |
− | | |
− | Artificial Personalities are rarely created deliberately. Within the United Planets a cultural bias against them has lead to a lack of interest in such research, particularly with Empress Mechanica's reputation for 'upgrading' select individuals. Within the Empire such research is prohibited as the Empress has no desire for her Automen legions to develop free will.
| |
− | | |
− | Thusly, most Artificial Personalities are emergent properties of sophisticated AI. The United Planets are generally willing to grant such individuals full personhood once it is determined they are not a threat to galactic civilisation. The Imperium, meanwhile, treat Artificial Personalities as malfunctioning units and seek to repair the 'glitch'.
