Description

As the name states, the Bretonia Police Authority is the official police force within the Bretonian nation.

Widely held to be a bastion of justice throughout Sirius, the BPA is respected by friends and foes alike. The BPA is responsible for the public safety of all Bretonian citizens and foreign visitors, provided that they are not hostile towards Bretonia, it's Allies, or itself. Typical tasks include scanning transports for contraband, collecting fines, and operating the important Nomad Transportation Licensure Board. As BPA constables are also responsible for the safety of the public, they will engage pirates, terrorists, and other enemies only when they are a threat to them and the public.

The BPA is a lawful, police faction, with certain distinct differences with the lawful, Bretonia Armed Forces faction, Queen Carina's Royal Fleet.

Unlike the QCRF, which is aggresively dedicated to the defense of Bretonia from external powers, such as the KNF, the BPA is not interested in such matters. In fact, pursuing these matters is completely out of it's juristiction. The BPA is dedicated to the defense of Bretonia from within. The primary concern is that Bretonia does not break down from rampant crime within while the nation is subjected to multiple attacks every day from Kusarianese Forces.

Thus, the BPA has a Zone of Interests that is restricted to Bretonia space. Only when escorting VIPs will the BPA temporarily leave Bretonia space for a Border World System.

Due to the confrontation with more and more criminals piloting capital ships and the Armed Forces being occupied in the Kusari-war, the BPA has created a special sub-division within itself: the Special Response Division (SRD). The division consits of a team of Challenger pilots, acting as the ultima ratio when the BPA is confronted with capital vessels.
