Background
Loyalty. That is what the Gallic Royal Police once stood for. Now, today the Gallic Royal Police face numerous corruption charges and has greatly fallen in numbers. However, there was a great change oncoming. The former Directeur de Police, Eloise Coudert, was quickly disposed of on pending corruption charges based on associations with Libertonian and Bretonian figures and treason against the royal monarch. Along with his cronies that corrupted the Royal Police, Royal Police faced public outrage and a disapproval among the people. This was soon to change with the immediate arrival of interim Directeur, Fran Dugetegelcois, who advocated for a new change within the Royal Police. Those before him were not above the law and he expected the same in every officer. Treacherous feelings of the King were to be cleansed and gone. The purity of Gallia was to be maintained and protected. Directeur Dugetegelcois gave every last remaining officers a test. They had the option of being discharged from the Royal Police at no repercussions or to stay in the Royal Police to maintain its once title as the police figure of Gallia.
Later those that took the first option were promptly executed under Dugetegelcois's orders. There are to be no traitors in the Royal Police. There can never be another incident similar to what happened during the First Gallic War again.
History
The foundation of the Royal Police dates back to the early years of Gallic settlement. Three years after the sleeper ship Gallia touched ground, the Royal Police was formed. Consistent of the descendants of former Alliance soldiers, the organizations primary aim was to supervise the security of colonial establishment first on New Paris, then as Gallia's explorers made progress, on universal levels.
During the hundreds of years, the role of the Police changed. The Royal Navy took charge of supervising the extension of Crown's influence, the elimination of pirate bases and the jurisdiction of the Police itself, while the latter was trusted simply with keeping the core systems under control. Since all larger hostilities were treated by the Navy, the Royal Police soon had very few things to worry about, giving room for laziness and the failure to carry even those few tasks out efficiently. All that eventually gave room for developing corruption within the Police force, mostly Corse members kept officers under their influence to gain access to Government and Navy contacts.
The darkest period within the Police was shortly before and during the First Gallic War. A lot of officers left the force and joined the Council or the Corse, using Royal technology to fight against the system they were sworn to protect. Most of those who remained didn't cease to be corrupted; officers were supplying information, refused to open fire on Council targets and kept terrorizing the civilian populace. After the war, the Royalty realized the line has been crossed. The King issued the Navy to commence the event called "Le Grand Nettoyage" (The Great Cleansing), which resulted in the elimination of 126 Royal Police officers and 38 Government officials and another 500 arrested, without open Council defectors counted.
Following the retaliatory actions, the corruption within the Force lowered, but didn't cease. The Royal Police became the symbol of injustice and mischief, no matter how a lot of new members tried to fight against the image. The Navy was issued to supervise the Police between the two civil wars, they were rewarded with radical privileges, such as destroying Police ships if caught during committing piracy and they often lived with the occasion to do so. With the new order established and new leaders in power, the corruption, back alley deals, and general terrorization of the Gallic populace has been quelled or simply pushed to an area where no one can find it. Certain records go missing, accounts are doctored, and certain officers simply disappear. The Royal Police has learned from its mistakes.
The general opposition between the two factions was gone when the Second Gallic War erupted. The Council's reopening of the Gallic borders towards Sirius and therefore the fear from the unknown that waited beyond succeeded in restoring the will to co-operate between the Navy and the Police Forces. Only a very few Police Officers joined the Council when the war erupted, some say it's because the corruption has ceased, others say it's because the officers see a new business to be made from Sirian ships, either way, most policemen and women became radical haters of the Council and the Sirians.
Right now, that the inner systems have been sealed, the Royal Police outside works in co-operation with the Navy to win the war and gain access back home. Even though the Navy has priority on the frontlines, the Police also have to encounter a lot of Council ships during their patrols. As the battles are getting more and more violent, corruption is yet again returning in minimal doses to the force. Secret deals and back-alley exchanges are rare, but not unheard of. The people who tend to hear of it, suddenly disappear adding to the suspicion of the Royal Police.
