Guild of Adjudicators

The Guild of Adjudicators, (PROSE: Original Sin) also called the Adjudicators Bureau, (TV: Colony in Space) Adjudicator Intelligence, or simply the Ravens, (PROSE: GodEngine) was an organisation dedicated to promoting the law among the colonies of Earth. (PROSE: Original Sin, TV: Colony in Space)

Their motto was "Justice by your side. Fairness be your friend." (PROSE: Original Sin)

Structure
The Guild of Adjudicators was led by the Adjudicator in Extremis. (PROSE: Lucifer Rising, The Dark Path) Its base and training location was Ponten VI (PROSE: Lucifer Rising) and later Ponten IV. The Adjudicator (and companion of the Seventh Doctor) Chris Cwej graduated from the latter in 2974. Chris and his partner Roz Forrester worked on Earth, where they patrolled the Overcity. (PROSE: Original Sin)

Adjudicators were uncommon in the Earth Empire. They were used for their investigative and intelligence skills, though they did have some military power. (PROSE: The Dark Path)

History
The Guild of Adjudicators was founded in the 21st century and was then known as Adjudicator Intelligence. In the lead-up to the 22nd century Dalek invasion, Adjudicators were sometimes called Ravens, (PROSE: GodEngine) a name they kept until the 25th century. (PROSE: Lucifer Rising)

By the 25th century, they were known as the Adjudicators Bureau. Adjudicators were sent from planet to planet and resolved disputes using Earth law. This was a tedious process and frequently lasted for months. posed as an Adjudicator on Uxarieus in 2472. (TV: Colony in Space)

Over time, the Adjudicators became more like a police force than a judicial system. (PROSE: The Dark Path) The Book of the War described them as a high-risk, heavily-armed law enforcement agency. (PROSE: The Book of the War)

When the Galactic Federation was formed, the colonies developed their own rules and laws, which led to a lack of purpose for the Adjudicators. They were replaced in the Galactic Federation by the Arbiters. (PROSE: The Dark Path) They evolved into the Knights of the Grand Order of Oberon, a group of secretive assassins.
