Overview
Reeves’ Star Security (RSS) is a private security service agency contracted by STAG Industries who has governmentally contracted for primary and special law enforcement authority with the now former WBA and currently the McCandless planetary administration. RSS focuses on maintaining peace and order, ensuring community safety, and collaboration to further create a secure environment within the Dusklight Colony.
Etiquette & Uniform
RSS members are expected to act professionally and are held to high standards during their on-duty shifts. Given the serious environment in which they often operate, camaraderie among fellow RSS members is expected and greatly encouraged. Demonstrating respect towards your fellow officers is not only a matter of courtesy but also a reflection of commitment to your safety and the quality of life within Dusklight. Our duty extends beyond just protection; It’s about maintaining excellence and discipline as a protector of the colony.
Regarding uniforms, the RSS places a strong emphasis on professionalism and attire that avoids provocation. Acceptable options encompass dress shirts, slacks, shorts, and polo shirts, with a preference for darker hues in personal clothing choices. The department’s primary color palette revolves around Dark Grey and Gold while White and lighter shades of Grey are reserved for pauldrons and underlying garments.

Emergency Response Vehicles
The Fencer Hover Bike
By harnessing an exclusive iteration of Amon and Sons' 8 KW High-Frequency Self-Oscillating Repulsion Drive, the Gunnersberg Dynamic Fencer achieves unmatched mobility across diverse terrains.
Through a revamped internal structure that incorporates advanced composite materials, the Fencer successfully sheds excess weight without compromising its load-bearing capabilities. This combination allows effortless navigation through the colony's narrow passageways while still bearing an RSS Officer and his equipment safely to the operation zone.
Savings gained from the redesigned frame has allowed Reeves' Star Security to install a custom-fitted plasma induction vent, allowing for short term gains in both acceleration and top-speeds that exceed the performance of the shelf models of the standard Fencer Bike.
The Pegasus Hover Truck
The Gunnersberg Dynamics Pegasus, a specialized personnel carrier crafted for emergency response and capable of carrying multiple passengers and detainees, provides nearly impenetrable security.
Its formidable defense system includes an intricate armor configuration, featuring a composite polymer lattice beneath alternating layers of steel and ceramic plates, all coated with highly heat-resistant Kevlar.
Furthermore, it can comfortably seat up to six occupants, including the driver. Its High-Frequency Self-Oscillating Repulsion Drive generates intense air vibrations, enabling effortless drifting and movement on any terrain.

Rank Structure
RSS has a structured ranking system that begins with Cadets, who undergo training and probation. Successful Cadets become Deputies, responsible for colony security. Experienced officers can advance to Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs), assuming leadership roles. The highest leadership positions are held by Members of RSS Command, responsible for strategic decisions and policy implementation.
The RSS ranking structure begins as follows from the beginning:
- Cadets undergo a probationary phase where they learn and train to become a fully initiated officer within the RSS. After a trial, the probationary phase would end and they would be promoted to Deputy.
- Cadets are paygrade D-0.
- Deputies and their respective classes will gradually have more responsibilities and expectations placed upon them, as they are trusted and fully vetted officers who have proven past cadetship. As the backbone of the RSS, they handle most duties including Colony Security.
- Deputy paygrades extend from D-1 to D-4.
- Cadet Graduates are promoted to Deputy Basic (D-1)
- Subsequent promotions in order are Deputy Third Class, Deputy Second Class, and Deputy First Class.
- Experienced Officers will have opportunities to advance into leadership positions in either an operational or technical manner as Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) in paygrades past Deputy.
- Aspiring leaders start as Corporals.
- Subsequent promotions in order are Sergeant, Senior Sergeant, Master Sergeant, Sergeant Major.
- Paygrades of D-8 and D-9 get alternative titles when in administration. Respectively, First Sergeant and Command Sergeant Major.
- The paygrades for above start from D-5 through D-9 respectively.
- Higher leadership positions such as commanding officers of units and divisions are usually commissioned and encompass the core of RSS Command as a body. The body is responsible for overall strategy and policy implementation throughout RSS.
- Commissioned Officers such as Lieutenant, Captain, and Major.
- The paygrades are O-1 to O-3 for the respective titles above.
- The Security Director and their Deputy Security Director are the highest-ranking executive officers within the RSS.

OOC Information
As the law enforcement group within New Frontiers, the RSS often confronts various criminal and/or disruptive organizations.
Consequently, it is considered a PvP oriented faction, allowing players to engage in combat with each other with mutual consent.
It’s important to note that all hostilities are to be kept in-character, and there should be no out-of-character animosity.
If players ever feel personally targeted or attacked by any RSS member, we encourage them to contact the group’s leadership or open a support ticket on the NF Discord Server.
Our primary goal is to ensure a fair and welcoming role-playing environment for all players.
