Overview
The Inter-Solar System Police(ISSP) is the primary law enforcement agency throughout the colonized Solar System. They act as the intermediary between criminals and bounty hunters, dispensing bounties either for crimes committed or for third party entities. The ISSP however, often engages directly in the pursuit and capture of bounty heads. Necessitated by the rise in organized crime throughout the Solar System, the ISSP have taken on a more militant system of organization and the current hierarchy is similar to the armed forces of former Earth nation states primary armed forces.
History
Early History and Formation
Previous to the gate incident of 2021, the various colonies of the Solar System had been under the jurisdictions of local law enforcement bodies, similar to regional police forces in major cities on Earth. After the destruction of the moon however, immigration to colonies increased at such a rate that these law enforcement agencies were rendered useless in combating the ever increasing crime. Several governmental task forces were established with specific objectives ranging from the regulation of inter-colonial commerce to combating the now space born mob organizations from Earth.
In 2025 the 3rd session of the Universal Congress passed legislation that effectively merged several of these task forces together and named that collective the ISSP.
2050's
During the initial years after it's creation the ISSP was able to secure several large grants from the major colonial governments who understood the strain placed on maintaining order across the Solar System. These grants allowed the ISSP to purchase a large Capital Ship now known as the Omega Behometh. The vessel was designed much like large capital ships from the World War II era were, complete with a battery of primary gun's capable of not only engaging other large vessels but also raining artillary fire down on terrestrial areas if the need arose.
