The Judges or the Judicial Order as it is called by it's members, is either a relatively new organization or an exceptionally old one depending on ones view of the history books. While the current incarnation is only around 16 years old, the core pilots have traces dating back to the first days of contact between the original four great houses.

Liberty Interplanetary Defense Force (122 A.S. to 230 A.S.)

The earliest traces of the Judges can be dated back to 122 A.S. in what was slowly becoming the Liberty Republic. Originally a local planetary police force formed to deal with problems in orbit of planets and later to oversee the security of the Valhalla Research operations, the organization would slowly develop into the underlining, if only temporary, military arm of Liberty.

By 155 A.S. this military (Now officially named the Liberty Interplanetary Defense Force or L.I.D.F.) while officially was tasked with protecting the steadily increasing supply of pilots now moving between the worlds in their star systems, unofficially they were tasked with the protection of the recently implemented "Jump Innovative" being developed by the now renamed, Ageira Technologies.

Over the next 60 years, with the development of the first fully functional jumpgate, and the rapidly expanding contact between the four houses, the L.I.D.F. would begin to see an influx of memebers as the mandate was slowly changed from being a military arm for the house of Liberty, to a multi-house defense force. Their job was now to oversee the successful construction of jumpgates throughout the four houses. By 230 A.S. with the creation of the Liberty Navy, the L.I.D.F. would go from a government controlled military, to now a private defense contractor being funded directly through several corporations as well as the four house governments all wanting to see jumpgates built throughout their systems. No longer directly controlled by any one government they were now tasked with the protection of all ships working on jumpgate construction. Seeing themselves as the direct promoters of human progress, they renamed themselves the Civilian Progress Protectorate (C.P.P.).
