Most worlds in the Imperium maintain a body responsible for punishing those who contravene its laws, broadly referred to as Enforcers. The Vigil, as Juno’s Enforcers are known, project a demeanour of propriety and civility, yet this is known to all but the most ignorant of offworlders as a thin veneer. In reality, its officers are callous to the point of sadism, seeing crime and disrespect wherever they wish to find it. The majority of the populace of Juno know that to seek the help of the Vigil is to court punishment for wasting its time, and while on some worlds the native Enforcers blatantly favour the ruling classes over the multitudes, even the nobility appear to earn nothing more than the scorn of the Vigil. Indeed, it has existed for so long that it has become a separate class of its own, one whose members are born into its ranks and to whom almost all outsiders are rivals. To the surprise of many offworlders, the Vigil is neither corrupt nor venal, for the surest way to earn a punishment in the Excoriation Cubes is to offer an officer any sort of bribe.
