Federation Marshall Service

[Admiral Tim]

I'v made some overlays for the federation marshall service but I think they aren't sound (some have more point than others and stuff) and I don't really know how to correct them. Any input is welcome, not just on the technical stuff but also about the contents
Here they come:

Federation Marshall Service
The Federation Marshal Service, the highest civilian law enforcement agency in the United Federation of Planets, is comprised of races from all member-worlds. Their task: to safeguard Federation judges, officials and citizens, implementing the Witness Protection Program, fugitive retrieval, prisoner transport, eradicating organized crime activities and research & development.

Hereby the training package. it's not mine, I found it on this board, but I don't know the owner. so all credit goes to him.

Federation Marshalls Training
Civilian authorities within the Federation can opt to have their senior officers attend Starfleet Facilities for further training. There they attend alongside future frontier Marshalls who serve and protect often in conjuction with Starfleet and local planetary defence forces.

Cheers Mate.

I recognise that background template.

The original source material along with my original overlay are available here at;

Some interesting alternate takes you have there. A nice expansion and specialisation to Law Officer group.

I still have trouble coming to 54 dp's for the overlay's. I'm probably doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what.

Too American-flavoured for my tastes... The Federation is more like the UN than the US. Gotta file those serial numbers off, guys. It's more believable if everything in the Federation doesn't share exactly the same name as a corresponding agency in the modern US.

I see something much more like InterPol - a coordinating body which oversees law enforcement agencies throughout the Federation, albeit with more of an enforcement mandate than Interpol has.

My take on the subject is the Federation Interstellar Police Agent, which can be found at http://www.coldnorth.com/owen/game/s...es/careers.htm

Well, as I like Owen built my version as a Civilian template, it was a lot tighter with only 36 point templates available for use I can tell you!
