The Price Of Freedom establishes Character Creation guidelines for FIS agents, but does not give a rank system. The following rank table is adapted from the DTI rank table in All Our Yesterdays, and is intended for use with both FIS and FIPA characters. PC agents must take at least one level of promotion. There are only two Deputy Directors and one Director in each Service at any time.

Federation interstellar law is enforced by the Federation Interstellar Police Agency. The FIPA has the following mandates: investigate violations of Federation interstellar law; assist local and planetary law enforcement agencies when requested; coordinate interjurisdictional law enforcement activities within the Federation; and conduct counterintelligence operations in cooperation with the Federation Intelligence Service.

Federation Interstellar Police Agent Character Generation Character generation for FIPA characters follows roughly the same procedure as that for Starfleet officers. Choose a Species Template, apply the FIPA Overlay, select an Early Life History, Academy Life History, and one or more Tours of Duty. FIPA characters do not serve a Cadet Cruise.

If Starfleet Security can be considered the Military Police equivalent within Starfleet, the officers of the Criminal Investigations Division are the detectives.They investigate major crimes committed by Starfleet personnel or on Starfleet property. These crimes may range from murder, to smuggling, to treason. CID officers are not normally assigned to starships, but may be found at starbases and planetary facilities. CID officers often work alongside JAG officers, interviewing suspects and witnesses preparatory to judicial proceedings.
