HUMBLE BEGININGS

Recently kicked out of a criminal mercenary org during a civil meme war, two unknown citizens applied for this new law and order department in an effort to clean up their home system of Stanton. After stalled recruitment efforts, citizens Jnc0 and Digable found themselves as Sergeant and Deputy of the newly commissioned STANTON POLICE DEPARTMENT. Little did they know that they would soon become a powerhouse duo to bring justice and stability to the galaxy.

Their first mission was to clean up Port Olisar, a shipping port in the system of Crusader after a drug cartel’s operation named “Jumptown” starting shipping illegal substances through the popular port. Even thought they were undermanned and underfunded, Sergeant Jnc0 and Deputy Dig quickly strung together multiple successful arrests and busts around Port Olisar and even Grim Hex. They even cut their teeth in on high risk negotiations during hostage and kidnapping de-escalations as part of crime scene management.

After a brief recruitment campaign gaining valuable officers, Sargeant Jnc0 and Deputy Dig of the SPD conducted their first raid in 2953 on their former criminal org setting forth a new precedent of criminal justice raid operations throughout the Stanton system. “Sarge and Dig” rose in the SPD ranks to become high ranking officers of the department.
