Law Enforcement on Onia

Following the disbanding of the Dusklight Sheriff's Department (DLSD) in 2820, the White Belt Administration (WBA) took direct control of policing the Mirinmar system. This has lead to four distinct organizations operating within the policing and security role in and around Dusklight.

As always, sentencing modifiers are typically up to the arresting officer’s judgment.
