Warden Corps

The Warden Corps is the diplomatic and peacekeeping agency of the Alliance. They are made up of two divisons, each with a different purpose. The Diplomatic Division is responsible for negotiations and diplomacy and the Peacekeeping Division is responsible for policing the Alliance's many planets and species. When a potential recruit is accepted into the Corps they undergo six months of mandatory combat and weapons training, as well as learning skills such as piloting a starship. After the six months are up they apply to one of the divisions and, if accepted, receive specific training depending on the division they chose with the exception of cadets who choose the Peacekeeping Division, in which case they continue to receive advanced combat training. The Corps has thousands of ships at their command, used for transport and patrol. As part of their uniform, Wardens are equipped with pistols and sabres. Each and every Alliance member planet and space station has their own Warden garrison for keeping the peace and patrolling Alliance space. The current Commodore of the Warden Corps is an Okmahl named Kirek Medlow, appointed in 2438. Warden ships use the prefix AWS (Alliance Warden Ship). During the Alliance-Somakian War (2415-2420) the Wardens saw combat just as much as the military, though they were mostly restricted to defending their respective worlds from Somakian attacks and invasion, similar to a Home Guard. As part of their training Wardens learn to use a variety of weapons, chief among them sabres, as it is a key part of the Warden's arsenal. Chief of Peace is rank given to any Warden in charge of a garrison anywhere on the galaxy, similar to Police Chief from Old Earth. Zip Faulkner was a prominent Warden who later became Chief of Peace aboard Zion Station in 2449.
