ROYAL ENFORCEMENT SERVICE(s): The combined law enforcement and military
services of the Kingdom Systems. Each planet's Enforcement Service
operates independently, but all are ultimately responsible to the High
King, and the only uniform difference is the planetary insigne on the
collar.

The RES is divided into the regular forces, who operate much like
police in the Empire, and Special Operations, which are most similar to
the ITMC's Special Forces. Until recently, because of the dangers of
their work (average lifespan is less than two years), Special Ops
personnel were required to be sterile and unmarried; these requirements
can now be waived if the person is a member of one of the new extended
Families.

Special Operations has recently acquired a subdivision called the
Strike Force. It is designed as a number of quick-response
anti-terrorist teams which operate under very liberal
rules--particularly its Inquisitors, who operate under Writs of
Immunity issued by the Pope and High King. Under these Writs, anything
a Strike Force Inquisitor (or the people working with @) does in the
belief it is for the Systems' protection or in their interest, except
regicide or narrowly-defined treason, cannot be punished.

Unlike Imperial forces, the RES has very few women, and at this point
only two are officers.

The highest Enforcement rank is Colonel.

RUCHAYA: (Traiti) Clan parent. Used by any of a clan's younglings to
any of its adults, though @ will generally refer to @'s birth-parents
as "ka'chaya" (female parent, mother) and "es'chaya" (male parent,
father).

S

SALVIS: (Traiti) A Homeworld plant that bears a strong resemblance to
poison oak. Its tuber-like roots are edible and highly nutritious,
though the taste is bland.
