A major business sector of the Distant Fringe.
A catch-all term describing commercially available armed or paramilitary forces operating within the Distant Fringe. Any Security organisation should hold a licence to operate that is recognised by at least two interstellar states, and it should adhere to regulations and guidelines laid down in the Rissa Accords.
In an area as vast and as unregulated as the Distant Fringe, security is a huge industry. There are all manner of civil policing forces, quasi-military political organisations, mercenary units and StarMerc squadrons and flotillas. There are security agencies, private detectives, bodyguards, independent forensics, and bounty hunters. Private companies generally also manage prisoner detention and transfer. Some organisations function as intelligence agencies, employing agents and engaging in covert espionage. Security organisations often hold vast amounts of confidential data about all manner of subjects.
