Every level of government has at least one law enforcement agency, and virtually all private organizations or individuals with sufficient resources have an independant security force on call. Starports and Space Stations, due to their importance in interstellar commerce, always have a substantial security presence; similarly, all but the smallest private Starships have shipboard security to deter pirates, shipjackers, and mutineers.

Security Specialists act as bodyguards for VIPs and crisis response teams for cities and starports. Starports, in particular, are dangerous assignments due to the large crowds, constant movement, and intermingling Species, maximizing the chances of a terrible misunderstanding due to a language barrier or differences in local customs. Worse, starports might have to deal with a hostile Starship if a smuggler, pirate, or outlaw decides to blast his or her way off the planet. As a result, Security Specialists tend to be heavily armed (often using heavier Vehicles, such as gunships) and paired with Sharpshooters (as Expert Assassins).
