Universal Police...

[Mal Nova]

Well while I was writing...I thought about it and figured, that perhaps there be a Space type police...

I called them: Galactic Imperial Law Enforcement. And guess I wonder if everyone wants to go along with it or what not?

Its basically an Interplanetary Law Enforcement Agency and what not...

Thoughts?

[Dou]

I was actually thinking about being a Space Pirate so that would work perfectly!

[Mal Nova]

Space Pirate as a Profession?Call it a Smuggler like Cain...

[Sage]

Why would they be imperial?

Who could possibly sustain a force that spread out?

Who controls them?

Under what law do they function?

I would think there would be localized police or military forces around settled worlds and systems but across the entire galaxy?

I mean, yeah, this is DBZ but it's borderline impossible. Still, whatever. I'm not gonna shoot the idea down or anything, but I can't exactly support it either.

[Mal Nova]

Well I just chose the name just because... but I'm using it as a Law Enforcement that tracks down/ jails/punishes/studies criminals that are considered real dangerous and are known to be so in multiple planets.

I bring this up because..I'd hate for others to have something similar... and all have different names for it.

You could just have them be some galaxy security force subordinate to the Kais or w/e, since they seem to kind of but not really rule the universe

[Rem-13]

The only way I see this working is like a sort of guild or organization. Maybe kind of unofficial (and functional) UN.

It could run on volunteers from all different kind of planets who seek either to do or at least enforce good. By which I mean a set of standard intergalactic laws agreed upon by those planets that agreed to allow them into regions. Sort of a group of Space Paladins.

In fact I'd call'em that. Paladins.

Robots. A galactic corporation of powerful men from different planets founded with a dedication to philanthropic endeavours. As it often happens, they are quickly corrupted by the opportunity of power and, through the use of their mass supply of private funds, man power and influence, they build an army of robots and a fleet to carry them. Quickly national governments and wordly governments throughout the galaxy begin to notice this opportunity for efficent, effective, mass protection and, at some sort of galactical summit, they jointly hire the private security firm and charge them with dealing with the most extreme threats to the galaxy.

[Tamsin]

Sage has a point. Each planet has it`s own goverment and thus is likely to have it`s own law enforcement institution.

Having said that, though, I could easily imagine there being an organisation of the likes of INTERPOL (GALAPOL?). Afterall, the various police forces would probably want to cooperate (at least to some degree) in hunting down inter-galactic criminals.

[Belle Hibiki]

Yeah, what Amadeus said.

Also, I could be very wrong, but I think that Frieza managed a galactic empire of sorts. The scale of interplanetary rule is certainly not beyond the scope of DBZ.

[Psyren]

Frieza kept his shit in order by brute force. No one wants to fuck with a guy who can decimate your planet in one strike. And yes frieza had many subordinates scattered across the universe to keep order.

Now as for this policing thing. I like it. MY character is evil as fuck and I wouldnt mind having some kind of police chasing him and giveing him a reason to watch his back.

How does this fit in?

[Tyr]

How does this fit in?

It's no fun being evil if there's no good guys.

[Psyren]

With no good guys we evil guys will get bored of blowing crap up cuz the goodguys wont be there to restore it. Which means we will die off and end up in a villains retirement home playing boggle with a blind guy a jew and a atheist. So yeah. Hope thats explains it for ya.

[Belle Hibiki]

Actually, I think evil guys would eventually just get their shit kicked in by a bored Raditzu.

Or any old character still kicking around, really.

[Vad]

Yeah. The immediate response would be a comedic/angry:

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

[Psyren]

theres just no point in being a violent evil psychopath if someone in their right mind with good intentions isnt around.

[Vad]

I'm going to end my shitty replies and actually comment about that. You don't need good hearted people to be Evil. Other people wanting to be Evil can be your enemies as well and there is plenty of room for NPC competition or even player competition. Being Evil doesn't require the polar opposite to exist.

[Sage]

Well, ultimately, the question is 'is there an authority in space?'

If it were left to me, I would say 'yes, but not a single, universal authority,' since most planets are either cool or hostile to one another.

That said, I think we could at least consider this idea. Maybe it ought to be brought up in the staff forum omgz.

[Celena]

Does there need to be an authority in space?

It's not something that I think is necessary. It's no way near as important as having an authority figure on a planet that is populated with inhabitants.

I wouldn't have a problem with Frozen saying he was arrested and fined by two space police for taking a piss in the middle of outer space, but I don't feel it's something that needs to be implemented.
