Imperial Republic Central Nexus _ High Council Chambers _ PSA - Palace Security Agency

Posted by: James Stratus Jun 30 2008, 12:59 PM

I want to make the Palace Security Agency a formal organization. Discussion is open for where it should be placed. They wiill use army ranks and be trained similar to RG/IRSB. They are responsible solely for the security of the Royal Palace on Coruscant. We should come up with a better name for the palace on Coruscant and for the one on Kuat - but that's another discussion. The security of the Kuati palace is up in the air - perhaps an independently hired Stratus Security force, local military or IRSB unit, or PSA dept.

Chief of Palace Security - Colonel Bremen (currently NPC)

Functions/depts:



Securing the following areas in the palace on Coruscant

I would have to say that they should be placed as a sub-unit of the IRSB. They are the police of the Empire, so it would be logical for them to police the Imperial Palace. Of course, the other alternative would be to make them subordinate to the RG.

I concur about PSA being a sub department of the IRSB.

I do not think they should be subordinate to the RG though, the RG set up was that they all have one sole purpose, though to be honest... I don't see why the PSA and the RG can't be the same thing? RG are mean't to protect royalties, and such it seems the PSA will do the same thing..

Concur - PSA seems to be very similar to IRG. Maybe just make the PSA a department of the RG (as has been suggested by others). After all, the vast majority of Royal Guards do a lot more than just protect VIPs. It's just the most visible aspect of their duties.

Well as it stands now, the Palace is already protected from what I remember, back in my days as Second Executor, on a variety of different ways.

Currently Palace Security is compromised of a mixture of Royal Guards and IRSB's agents that patrol the Interior and Grounds of the Palace and the Palace District. Then there is a Security nerve center type area in the palace, that I assume would be manned by IRIS, IRSB, Royal Guards, and Military personnel, that coordinate Palace Security and make any changes to the current security levels.

Then there is a Military Defense Force if I remember correctly that patrols the border and the outskirts of the Palace District and provide air support over the palace district.

And then there is some sort of elite SWAT force that is present too. The exact composition has never really been determined, but thats another story.

But basically the actual protection of the Interior Areas of the Palace as of now is a responsibility of IRSB. The War Room, there could be some Military personnel on security detail there, its up for discussion, it has never really been talked about or anything.

Now the Palace District also compromises other government buildings directly around the Palace like the Ministry of Public Affairs Tower and I assume the MOD has one too along with other COMPNOR agencies, and they are free to have their own security units inside the building, but all security and even all personnel working in the Palace District would have gone through an extensive security check by IRIS. And the security outside of these buildings would be a mixture of security systems of the building mixed with IRSB agents and maybe military.

So I mean the Palace Security Agency could be created, but then it would mostly just transfer the assets already in place under the command of a new agency, and then the boundaries between IRSB, IRIS, the Royal Guards, the MOD and the new PSA would have to be redefined.

Either way though, I think we need to actually designate one of us to be in charge of Palace Security. I know I kind of took on that role in regards to the Coruscant Palace when I was Second Executor, and rearranged the security of the palace a few times. And Revan kind of took on the role of being in charge of the Security aspects of Coruscant as a whole. But one of the Agents of the Throne should be in charge of Palace District Security not just on Coruscant but at the Imperial Republic Palaces on Kuat, Hapes and any other IR palace locations. Though Hapes might be up in the air, I don't really know the status of our feelings with Hapes, I know that due to a family dispute between Layha and her aunt, we did place economic sanctions and other restrictions on it, so.... That's about it.

Security (civil security at least) is coordinated primarily through IRSB and therefore COMPNOR. The only exception is where security is coordinated directly by a member of the throne (typically an Executor or a direct Agent of the Throne) through the Royal Guard. IRSB (or any civilian organization not directly controlled by the throne having primary jurisdiction over any 'royal' facility is just not a good idea. It leave too many middle men in a position to adversely affect the security of the 'highest spheres' of government. So...that would be my suggestion on that front.

With regards to Hapes, Layha and I are 'resolving' that issue right now. That way it's accomplished before we start all of this good stuff for Jim's return. Long story short, I don't think any IR personnel are going to have jurisdiction within any Hapan areas unless they're part of the Hapan Government. Obviously the fail-safe to that is being able to practically cut Hapes off from the rest of the galaxy (like the way Layha did).

Already posted my vote.

Posted by: James Stratus Jan 28 2009, 04:14 PM

If there are no further votes, this issue will be decided upon and the PSA, as it stands currently, will become an official department of His Majesty's Royal Guard.

Posted by: OVERMIND Jan 28 2009, 08:27 PM

Are we only six members of the High Council?

Posted by: James Stratus Jan 28 2009, 08:52 PM

There is Locke, Revan (no longer here), Tavria, Dene, Raithos, me, you, who else? Can't think of anyone else.

Posted by: OVERMIND Jan 28 2009, 09:04 PM

I thought we were more, that is all. I guess you are right, I was probably counting Benson and Layha, who do not count.

This vote is in favor of the PSA being subordinate to the Royal Guard, however due to the nature of the split I am considering allowing this matter to go before the Senate for a higher vote count.
