A Peacekeeper was a special civil servant of the United Outer Colonies who was dedicated to the protection of their fellow citizens and were subordinates of other civil servants that made up the Government of the United Outer Colonies. They were not soldiers, they were citizens who had dedicated themselves as an arm of the commonwealth. They served in the manner as outlined in the Peacekeeper Charter of YE 30 which included functions of defense, protection, diplomat, exploration and colonization and intergalactic peacekeeping and humanitarian efforts. As citizens they were subject to the law, and answerable to the commonwealth of the colonies as any other civil servant.
