Artemis Colonial Constabulary
The Artemis Colonial Constabulary (ACC) serves as the paramount military and law enforcement entity within the the Multilateral Base Control. Tasked with dual mandates, the ACC functions concurrently as the primary military garrison safeguarding MBC assets and as the comprehensive law enforcement agency maintaining public order and legal compliance across the Artemis colony.
Structure
The highest ranking decision maker for the ACC are the MBC’s Council Members. The ACC Command has a direct link with the Council of MBC in Sol. Any memos sent by the Council of MBC becomes an unbreakable mandate that the ACC is trained to follow against the odds.
Within the colony, the Governor General and Deputy Governor General delegate oversight over the ACC to the Chief of Security. However, should the Governor General or Deputy Governor General issue a mandate, the ACC is obligated to follow it.
The ACC then resorts to a highly-structured rank system, with military and police doctrine and training in play. In the ACC, an order from a superior must be followed at all costs, without question.
While the ranking structure below is present, many of its ranks are not occupied until the troops escalates in rank.
Senior Command
High Commissioner (HC)
The supreme authority in the ACC, responsible for all military and law enforcement activities under the jurisdiction of the Multilateral Base Control (MBC).

The second-highest rank in the ACC, the Deputy High Commissioner assists the High Commissioner in overseeing the entire organization. They are responsible for translating strategic goals into actionable operations across all divisions.

Constable Trainee (CST-1)
Entry-level position for recruits in training. Personnel at this rank undergo foundational training in law enforcement, public order management, and basic military tactics.
Known Departments
Each department complies with the rank structure detailed above. However, transferring from one department to the other tends to require the individual to enter at a lower rank.
Several divisions conduct internal recruitment calls before calling to the wider public. For example, an armed police department might offer Constables and Senior Constables of the Public and Community Support Division the Constable Trainee rank, since it requires them to go through additional training certificates.
Public and Community Support Division (PCSD)
The Public and Community Support Division (PCSD) of the Artemis Colonial Constabulary (ACC) is an unarmed police force within the ACC, led by the Captain of the PCSD, which is the highest ranked member in the PCSD.
It is one of the only department that handles recruitment calls to the public without looking for candidates within the ACC first, since it is considered to be an entry-level division.
Day-to-day duties usually include patrolling, dealing with minor offences, crowd control, gathering criminal intelligence and supporting armed forces.
It is possible to transfer to armed forces or other divisions of the ACC after service in the PCSD.
Their enlisted ranks comprise of frontline officers responsible for day-to-day community support tasks such as patrolling, engaging with the public, and assisting in minor incidents.

- Implementing initiatives to prevent crime, such as safety campaigns, watch programs, and public education.
- Assisting in managing public events, demonstrations, and maintaining order in public spaces.
- Assisting during incidents, conducting preliminary investigations, and performing administrative duties.

Assets
The full extent of the Artemis Colonial Constabulary (ACC)'s force composition remains classified under the highest security protocols of the Multilateral Base Control (MBC) government. Due to the strategic importance of the Artemis colony, the true size and operational capabilities of the ACC are deliberately obscured, with only select individuals within the Executive Branch granted full access to this information.
It is widely speculated that the MBC maintains a significant reserve force in cryogenic stasis, designated to be rapidly mobilized in the event of a large-scale crisis or existential threat to the colony. These reserves reportedly include entire combat-ready divisions, specifically trained for high-stakes scenarios that require immediate and overwhelming force projection.
