History of the Union Police

The Union Police was officially founded in 2107 as the Trilateral Law Enforcement agency. From three societies originally, it now has members from nearly all societies who are a part of the United Stars of the Galaxies.

Trilateral Law Enforcement Agency
In 2107 the Trilateral Law Enforcement Agency was founded. It included a portion of the "national" law enforcement agencies  of United Earth, Sarans, and Pan Sarans.

Originally it's purpose was to pursue criminals who sought to escape the law of one of the three original societies by going to one of the other ones. It gradually was given more authority, basically being allowed to enforce laws that were similar in all societies represented.

Even though it was founded thirteen years prior to the United Stars of the Galaxy, the Union Police Department considers that event to be it's birth-date.

Quadrilateral Law Enforcement Agency
In 2108, the Ult requested and were allowed to participate in the joint law enforcement agency. Initially named officially Quadrilateral Law Enforcement Agency, (a name no one liked) it started being referred to as Union Law Enforcement Agency or Union Police by the Ult news media. That name became official when a fifth society presented interest in joining.

United Stars Law Enforcement Agency
After several years functioning as simply Union Police, when the United Stars of the Galaxy was organized it was renamed United Stars Law Enforcement Agency, but for the most part still was called Union Police or Federal Police.
