Colonial Rangers

A small but significant United Nations law enforcement exists on Poseidon as well as the Marshals and the Patrols. The primary mission of the newly established UN Colonial Rangers (UNCR) is to enforce the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and to investigate its possible violations by individuals and governments.

Backed by the United States government, the Rangers are typically Americans. This has caused rumours that the US has placed its own police force on Poseidon.

Regional Headquarters are located in Atlantis and Harmony, while several small Ranger Posts can be found in independent settlements scattered around the archipelago. The staff at each post consists of a captain and the supporting Ranger troop, with ranks including private, corporal, sergeant and lieutenant.

Rangers are authorised to carry weapons and use necessary force in self-defence, or if armed persons attempt to prevent them from carrying out their duties. There have been a few clashes between GEO law enforcement and the UNCR, but no major showdowns over territory have broken out.
