Description
The Imperial Inquisitorial Police (IIP) are one of the key law enforcement divisions of the Amarr Ministry of Internal Order, focused primarily on maintaining law and order in direct holdings of the Imperial Throne, and any territories not coming under the direct jurisdiction of the six Royal Houses and their own police guards. Inevitably, given the complex, endlessly-shifting politics and webs of relationships between the Throne, Royal Houses, and their various vassals, there are any number of situations where the Ministry of Internal Order has some valid interest or mandate to intervene. Outright situations of unrest or flagrant criminality are often dealt with by the Ministry's feared Order Paladins, a paramilitary force given to act first and ask questions later. When investigation or a somewhat lighter touch is required the Imperial Inquisitorial Police are usually sent in. Given the delicacy of many situations involving space stations and space industrial colonies, the IIP are the preferred option in such locations, with special investigation units travelling extensively throughout the Amarr Empire.
