The Guard of the High Council

The Guard of the High Council, also referred to as The Guard, the IF Guard, Green Guards, the Defenders of Freedom or the "Guys in Green," was an elite security force of the Interplanetary-Fleet. Its duties were to protect the Fleet's High Council. The Guard was centred in Takoradi on Earth and as it was also responsible for protecting the District of the Council, it shared policing jurisdiction with the IF Security Force. Next to the IF Special Forces, the Guards of the High Council were seen as the defenders of democracy and symbols of security. Green Guards were a frequent sight in the halls of the High Council Building, their ceremonial uniforms and robes helping to blend in with the formal settings.
