The Starlight Frontier Police Department

Created by Alistair Redmont

Nestled in the neon-soaked heart of the colonial settlement known as New Meridian, the Starlight Frontier Police Department stands as a monument to the region's complex history of law and order. Built in 1952 during the initial boom of frontier expansion, the station's art deco façade and chrome detailing reflect the optimistic era of its construction, though its purpose has evolved dramatically in recent decades as technology and civilization encroached upon the wilderness. The building's interior maintains its original hardwood desks, brass fixtures, and radio dispatch systems, creating an anachronistic atmosphere where officers file reports by hand while holographic crime databases flicker on repurposed terminals. The department thrives today as the beating heart of Starlight Frontier's civic infrastructure, with a well-trained force that balances traditional detective work against the emerging threats of digital crime and interdimensional smuggling rings. Vintage wanted posters share wall space with advanced surveillance monitors, and the holding cells—originally designed for common thieves and drunken prospectors—now occasionally house more exotic offenders. The building's basement archives contain decades of case files documenting the frontier's transformation from lawless frontier town to a bustling metropolitan hub, offering invaluable insights into the region's criminal underworld and social evolution. Officers and civilians alike frequent the station's ground-floor coffee counter, making it as much a community gathering place as an enforcement headquarters, while the upper floors buzz with activity from forensics labs, detective bureaus, and the newly established Anomalies and Unexplained Phenomena division.
