Editing Enforcer Security Force

[[File:Palanite Enforcers.jpg|300px|right|thumb|The Palanite Enforcers, the most well known of skull breakers in the Imperium.]]
The [[Imperium]] of Man [[Grimdark|is not a good place to live in on the best of days]] but needs must and the [[Imperial Tithe|Tithe]] must be met even lest the planetary rulers heads be placed on the chopping block, this is where the Enforcers come in. Enforcers are an Imperial Planetary Governor's heavily armed security forces, that are charged with maintaining law and order on their Homeworld. Essentially speaking, they are the planet's police department. Despite this, they are not related to the [[Adeptus Arbites]], but due to their similar nature, they are the Arbites first line of communication and allies; often working together as a result.
==Overview==
They will rarely act in the pursuit of justice though and are far more often an extension of their Governor's will. In order to keep the Imperium's grip on a world secure, Enforcers will discipline, capture and execute those who go against the Governor's proclamations, using a heavy hand to crush any rebellions or seditious elements they learn of. They are distinct and separate from the forces of the Adeptus Arbites, however, who are concerned with any violations of the Lex Imperialis. Enforcers, meanwhile, only have as much authority as they are granted by their Planetary Governor.

The [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] have their own version of Enforcers, known as the Astynomia.

Enforcer armaments vary, but they are similar to the ones used on [[Necromunda]]. As such [[Grenade Launcher#Grenade Launcher|Grenade Launcher]]s, Assault Shields, and [[SLHG Pattern Assault Ram]]s are their standard breaching equipment. Conversely, their standard equipment includes [[Imperial Boltgun|Enforcer Bolters]], [[Solo Boltgun]]s, [[Sniper Rifle]]s and [[Concussion Carbine]]s. Although if you are a cheapskate, you can still equip them with regular old [[Stub Rifle]]s, [[Combat Shotgun]]s, [[Pump-Action Shotgun]]s, [[Autopistol]]s and [[Arc Weaponry#Shock Baton|Shock Batons]]. They all wear [[Flak Armour]] for protection.
