Hoget Marshals

The Hoget Marshals were created by Moff Quillian to do several things. The first, is to act as a ready source of trained deputies for the Sector Rangers, Imperial Customs and the military. Their second objective is to aleviate some of the drain on the forces that gaurding non-Imperial facilities create. In reality, it was done to please some of the industrial/commercial leaders in his territory, who were demanding some way of occuping thier slacker offspring.

The Marshals have grown in size to a (short) regiment-sized unit. While it origionally was a rich boy's club, it has grown to include more common folks, including some of the scum of the universe. All Marshals must be Human, male, between 18 and 30 at time of enlistment, and have taken an Imperial Loyalty oath. Several of the swoop gangs that formerly plauged Lutaro have even been able to qualify. They are trained in law enforcement and investigations, light weapons, ship handling and low intensity warfare. Despite thier peace keeping function, they are even more likely than Stormtroopers to reach for thier blasters in an emergency.

The typical Marshal is issued two blaster pistols, a blaster carbine, and a personal light vehicle. Thier uniform consists of a long, brown, pull-over cloak that is cut high on the sides, worn over a simple white shirt, light armour vest, grey pants and Imperial Army combat boots. This rather odd looking combination is topped with a broad-brimmed black hat. Their blasters are worn low on the hip,one on either side, with the carbine slung. This is completed by adding the issue knife, which is balanced for throwing, on the belt, a star-shaped badge with a holo of the Imperial crest, and a few days worth of beard growth. Thier vehicles are a hodge-podge of swoops, speederbikes and land speeders, but the one that they have the lowest stock and highest demand of is the Industrial Automaton Cybermount.

They have authority over the entire sector, but they are often assigned to one particular system. Those who "wander" are also issued a small scout ship or a hyperspace capable shuttle. They handle intra-system and low-security intra-sector prisoner transport, court room security and gaurd locations important enough to need an Imperial presense, but not real Imperials, such as concerts. In reality, they are also as corrupt as the infamous LA-LAs of the Shastrile system. This is no doubt due in part to the composition of the Marshals. Despite this, they have sparked the interest of several neighboring sectors.
