Thanes

The Thanes are a paramilitary force that works under the power of the Council of Nimonea, they are specifically separate from the military as they frequently have dealings with the the civilian population and work within the government. In most areas in the galaxy, civilisations are placed on bodies in a stellar system, each of these bodies should have up to 5 Thanes assigned to it though depending on certain circumstances (such as population density, range of threats, terrain, etc.) this can be much less. Thanes will be deployed in response to a range of problems, from supernatural threats to organised crime and are given a wide range of permissions in order to carry out their given task.

Recruitment
Potential Thanes are scouted out from a range of sources, sometimes recruited from under warlords (though this is quite rare) or taken from specific Thane training academies. All Thanes undergo rigorous training, psychologically and physically, this process often takes 5-6 years and even with all that a place as a thane is not guaranteed, causing many to go into other areas of work that would suit their talents.
