Editing Palanite Enforcers (section)

==Organisation==
===Recruitment===
[[File:Palanite art.jpg|right|250px|thumb|These aren't your average bucket-heads.]]
Enforcers are selected from individuals within the Hive population who demonstrate particular strength of will and initiative, often from those who were once criminals or rebels themselves.

Such individuals are gathered up, sometimes forcibly, and subjected to a grueling regime of training intended to strip the candidate of all sense of self; even forgetting their own names. They are subjected to this regimen over and over again until the trooper that comes out the other side is harder than anything they can encounter within the depths of the underhive, or they do not recover from breaking point and are discarded. Sounds like a good way to recruit Arbites to boost their much-too-low-to-do-their-jobs numbers. And it’s horrible 40k is bad enough for this to be a thought at all.

Successful candidates are given new names and assigned to positions far away from the place from their initial recruitment to limit any connections they might have had with their old lives. Instead they come to treat their new squadmates as family, but are encouraged to continually police themselves and eradicating any weak links within their own chain of command.

===Hierarchy===
The lowest official rank is simply '''Patrolman''', though rookies are afforded even lower status and not trusted with specialised equipment until they have proven themselves with time spent in the field. Patrolmen and Patrolwomen may eventually develop into more specific roles like Sniper, Beast Handler, or Counter-Insurgence as they gain experience and progress in training. The most prevalent specialisation is '''Subjugator''', who are heavy enforcement troopers ''(basically the riot squad)'' that are equipped with heavier flak armour and get deployed in response to excessive instances of gang violence.

The smallest organisational unit is called a '''Squad''' and contains half a dozen patrolmen and is led by a '''Palanite-Sergeant''' or '''Subjugator-Sergeant''' depending on their squad's particular role. Additionally, there are other specialists who technically hold rank equivalent to sergeants, notably the '''Haunts''', who are dedicated psyker hunters.

Any number of Squads are gathered into the next organisational unit called a '''Patrol''', commanded by a '''Palanite Captain''' or '''Subjugator Captain''', though other individuals hold equivalent rank to Captains such as '''Scrutinators''' ''(presumably forensic specialists)'' and '''Proclamators''' ''(maybe lawyers or negotiators)''. Captains are often given the autonomy to command in any way they seem fit, so there is [[Codex Astartes|no fixed arrangement of squads]] and can be equipped and assigned based on whatever the Captain decides he requires.

Above Captains are the '''Proctors''', who don't see tabletop field duty and instead oversee command of the Precinct Fortresses within a hive sector.
