History
After the 80 years war against the GMG, the remaining members of the Rheinwehr were forced to withdraw back to New Berlin and surrounding systems. With the military weakened, a period of civil unrest followed causing an increase in criminal activity across Rheinland.
To counter the growing increase in crime against the civilian population, a council of high ranking military officers quickly formed a federal police agency. This agency was responsible for the enforcement of Rheinland law, civilian and trade protection, the staffing and management of Vierlande Prison, the suppression of subversive and rebel groups, and personal protection to the Chancellor.
After several years of hard-won experience, the Rheinland Federal Polizei are an elite police organization.
Today, the Rheinland Federal Polizei (RFP) is the left hand of the Chancellor in Rheinland Territory. They enforce all laws put forth by him and punish all those who break them. This can be anything from breaking the Embargo between Liberty and Rheinland to smuggling contraband within Rheinland space. The Rheinland Federal Police are known throughout their territory to be both strict and ruthless when it comes to enforcing their laws.
Duties of the Rheinland Federal Polizei:
- Provide police escort to ensure that necessities and luxuries are able to pass through Rheinland space without fear of pirate intervention.
- Stop and interrogate ships who might have been a witness to or involved in any criminal activity. This activity requires the development of fun and creative detective role-play in game and in the forums.
- Suppress civilian rebel groups, such as the Volksfront and LWB. If they resist arrest, use all necessary force to remove them from civilian sectors.
- Patrol Rheinland territories that include New Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Dresden, Munich, and Halle.
- Confiscate and destroy all illegal cargo. Fine the pilot of the ship (see fines below). If they flee or resist arrest, destroy the ship and tractor in the escape pod.
- Monitor the system channel for spy and encrypted transmissions. Spy transmissions typically begin with “//” or contain the letters “lol”. See below for more information on how to handle spies.
- Assist the Rheinland Military as needed.
- Eliminate all Pirates, Coalition, Nomads, Outcasts, Red Hessians, Unioners and all other threats to system security.
- Protect the citizens of Rheinland by offering assistance and other services
