Starliner Security Forces — Organization

Description

The auxiliary security detachment stationed aboard the Starliner performs routine law enforcement and crowd control. Clad in dark uniforms with silver insignia, they respond to breaches with immediate detention protocols, prioritizing containment over interrogation. Acting on the reception hall’s protocols, they swarm the unauthorized TARDIS materialization within seconds, subduing any resistance and detaining the Outlers—Keara, Tylos, and Varsh—before they can disperse. Their authority appears absolute within the ship’s environment but does not extend beyond its boundaries.
