The Peacekeeper's are a police force that have extended themselves for mercenary duties in the uncharted territories. A highly rigid, meritocracy with a Grand Chancellor, High Council and High Command overseeing the government. The Peacekeeper's not only utilize the CC's for military purposes but consider them mobile cities. Peacekeeper life revolves around the CC they are assigned too. Peacekeeper caste system puts those in military service at the top of the hierarcy.
