Knights and Dames are not always combat-oriented: the current head of Albion's R-AIR joined the organisation PA244 as an intelligence officer, and Knighted in PA252 for foiling a plot of treason against King Charles Lysander II by his step-brother, Anacredes.+To guard its towns and cities, individual city-states employ their own police forces to ensure the safety of the civilisation at the most local level. The reputation of the various police forces boil down to being shaped by their surroundings and the threats they most often face, but they generally project a helpful image first towards citizens. These police forces may coordinate with each other internationally to work on particularly heinous or far-reaching cases, such as roving bandits or criminals from outside of Aleph Cluster.

 For coordinating against political and internal threats like coups, treason, and direct threats to the Crown, the intelligence and spy network **R-AIR**((Royal Albion Intelligence & Reconnaissance)) and their Special Operations Branch step in to watch the watchmen. The venerable spy network has had a reputation for bastardry and 'ungentlemanly conduct' towards Albion's traitors large and small, as well as subversive threats from the tyrants of the Greater Cluster. For coordinating against political and internal threats like coups, treason, and direct threats to the Crown, the intelligence and spy network **R-AIR**((Royal Albion Intelligence & Reconnaissance)) and their Special Operations Branch step in to watch the watchmen.

-In addition to this force, Albion is also in control of a strange superweapon, orbiting [[planet/albion]], known as [[planet/albion/null]]. The possession of this supermassive object enables the Kingdom of Albion to maintain oversight, launching from the mass-driver to the reaches of the Aleph Cluster. The object possesses a strike range of 300 AU, enabling it to snipe hostile targets. Closer threats are monitored by a network of sub-defence satellites, and the ability to fire close ranged lasers itself. In general, its non-military capabilities, coupled with its immense civilian and Navy throughput make it a poor target, as it is always occupied.+In addition to this force, Albion is also in control of a strange superweapon, orbiting [[planet/albion]], known as [[planet/albion/null]].
