The Order of Cerberus, which has two branches, is designed to deal with internal threats of Chaos and participate in anti-Chaos investigations on battlefields and other contested areas. It answers directly to the High Council, but it (as opposed to the High Council in such cases) cannot override the local Council's decisions. When an investigation on a planet is completed, it must inform the local Councils of its findings within the limits of secrecy/not spreading the very symbols one might be going out against.
-The Captain-Commander, Supreme Director of the Eyes, Heart, and Hand, will lead the organization.
-The Head of Five Eyes: They move from system to system unimpeded, on a rotation, often using scout ships and stowing aboard as passengers/etc., to be dropped off, though they can also be summoned by a request by a local Council or intelligence as to the problem. They have a central headquarters in Droma.
--The Five Eyes are made up of priests, scribes, and investigators who have proven experience but also proven religious devotion.
--The Five Eyes, whose job is to roam and find trouble local forces are not capable of dealing with by themselves, have the positions of Investigator, Analyst, Infiltrator, Censor, and Commander (administrative role). They also have an added Chief Commander selected/elected/etc. among them and subject to a term limit of one decade to prevent concentration of power.
-The Head of Five Hands: A core of the Hands remains at the headquarters. Task Groups are ready to be utilized in the Federation at strategically viable locations, alongside local branches utilizing small but prestigious and elite teams to act as the first line of defense. However, using all local assets first/as well is preferable.
--The Five Hands are made up of priests, those deemed Heroes for their actions and merit, soldiers, and potentially the local Choir when the situation calls for their involvement.
--The Five Hands include the roles of Soldiers, Medics, Specialists, Fanatics (members of Holy Orders joining into this larger structure, etc), and in charge of them, Captains. The Branch is to be led by the Grand Captain.
-The Head of Five Hearts: Local Branches exist on every planet/station, with the central Branch being the Information Office. Only proven people are allowed to join the local branches on each planet, with the emphasis being on the right mix of knowledge and empathy.
-The Five Hearts have these five positions: Educator (in charge of spreading information about the nature of Chaos, carefully controlled so that people know what to watch out for), Counselor (to help the victims of Chaos and those who have turned from it, such as a cultist who blows the whistle, as well as serve as negotiators to talk down people, a dangerous job but prestigious), Internal Investigator (designed to provide help and keep an eye out among the Hands, Hearts, and Eyes for any flaws/etc.), Chronicler (whose job is to collate the information that Hands and Eyes gather to understand the larger pattern) and Priest (designed to pray for miracles and act as the conscience of the Hearts), led by Planetary Directors.
-Extraordinary Powers and Protections: The right to appeal decisions of local Councils dealing with their work to the High Councils, should it become relevant. Pardon from all misdemeanor charges if proven they were done in the line of duty (aka speeding tickets, etc). Right to commandeer space on any Scout ship, etc. Funds sufficient for travel, infiltration, etc, are to be provided. Generous pensions, and top-notch, better than average Healthcare. Dental, even!
-Access to a through-line to Lamenters in dire situations to go above the planetary level (but strike system for abuse of this). Otherwise, top-of-the-line equipment for Hands which makes sense for internal work, so there are some tanks but only a few. An obscure by-law mandates there be at least "one cool cyborg" per local Branch of the Hands and/or Eyes, preferably with "Viewpoint character energy."
-Mandatory therapy/vacation/relaxation-time after each encounter with Chaos/etc for Hands and Eyes and Hearts. Therapy is vital to keep the mind sharp.
-After Action Reports are also mandatory.
