Guild of Adjudicators

The Guild of Adjudicators was an organisation founded to spread law among the colonies of Earth. The Guild's Motto was "Justice by your side. Fairness be your friend". (NA: Original Sin)

The Adjudicators were sometimes known as Ravens in the mid-21st century, during the lead up to the 22nd century Dalek invasion. (NA: GodEngine) They retained this name until the 2400s. (NA: Lucifer Rising)

Structure
The Guild of Adjudicators was based on Ponten IV and was led by the Extermis. (NA: Lucifer Rising, MA: The Dark Path) Adjudicators were trained on Ponten IV; Adjudicator (and companion of the Seventh Doctor) Chris Cwej graduated from here in 2974. He and his partner Roz Forrester worked on Earth, where they patrolled the Overcity. (NA: Original Sin)

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

History
The Guild of Adjudicators was founded in the 21st century and was then known as Adjudicator Intelligence. (NA: GodEngine) The Adjudicators were sent from planet to planet and resolved disputes using Earth law. This was a tedious process and frequently lasted for months. (DW: Colony in Space) As time went on, the Adjudicators became more like a police force than a judicial system. (MA: The Dark Path)

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