The Freedom Falls Militia is the organization responsible for defending the town of Freedom Falls from threats to its peace and stability, both external and internal.
Contents
History
In 2149, the spaceport town of Freedom Falls, then Valarmi, was hit hard by a local warlord that had sprung up in the wake of Aite's independence. The invasion was repelled, but at the cost of many lives and the destruction of much of the town. It had become woefully clear that the Syranis Foundation's small security force was insufficient to keep the growing settlement safe, and with the losses they had taken, the situation was acute. Knowing that something needed to be done, Matriarch Syranis organized the creation of a town militia, bringing in off-world consultants to train volunteers, while letting the Foundation's private security force serve as a core of professionals that could be called upon when needed.
Current Activities
The Freedom Falls Militia exists to protect Freedom Falls and keep the peace. It is funded by, and ultimate answers to, the Syranis Foundation, but operates largely under the direction of its current commander, Syram Arius, a trusted security consultant that has worked with Matriarch Syranis in the past. The primary duty of the militia is to stand ready to defend the town in case of an outside force threatening it, but they also respond to violent incidents or other disturbances in the town, and patrol to keep the peace. The militia are peacekeepers, not a proper police force - they rarely investigate crimes or perform active operations against criminal elements, unless these are deemed a threat to the town as a whole. Day-to-day activity mainly involves intervening if violence erupts in the town.
The militia will sometimes jail individuals for short periods, generally while deciding what to do with offenders, or simply to give offenders a chance to cool off if they are deemed to not be a future threat. There's no long-term incarceration in Freedom Falls - offenders may be required to pay fines or be exiled, depending on the severity of their crimes. Individuals unable to pay their fines may be turned over to the injured party. In rare occasions, where individuals are deemed a serious threat to the safety of the people of Freedom Falls and no other solutions present themselves, the militia may elect to execute the offender. This is not a common occurrence, as such individuals rarely surrender when confronted by militia personnel. The militia sometimes issues bounties on disruptive or dangerous individuals that have managed to avoid arrest.
Individuals seeking, say, the return of a stolen item, justice for a killed loved one, or protection for their establishment, cannot rely on the militia, and are expected to seek out private contractors for their needs, be that a security firm, a private investigator or a bounty hunter. Organizations operating in Freedom Falls are expected to maintain a relationship with the militia to avoid misunderstandings and ensure potential militia intervention can proceed smoothly and safely, this is especially important for mercenaries and other armed professionals.
