Reviled, feared, envied, the Tarsus are the imperial police and are composed solely of human officers and inspectors. These are men and women who are born into their roles, groomed by the monarchy, and fiercely loyal in their service.

Intended to act as liaisons between humankind and their AI overlords, the Tarsus are often dispatched to investigate and defuse incidents that are germane to the safety and security of the Empire.

The Tarsus act with impunity and carry the full weight of the Empress’s support in the pursuit of both her edict and any and all investigations in pursuit of her royal judgments therein. This has caused much of humankind to turn away from the Tarsus, rather than to look to them as the mediators or protectors they were intended to be.
