The Inquisitors were the local law enforcement and security forces of the Kinshaya within the worlds of the Holy Order.
History and specifics[]
The Inquisitors are members of the priestly classes, marked by tattoos on their wings. The Inquisitors are commanded by a Grand Inquisitor, which was Bishop Rasec in 2382. The Inquisitorial Palace serves as a facility for the force's use.
- It is unclear if the Grand Inquisitor or Inquisitorial Palace oversees the city's forces, the planet's forces, or the entire force across the Holy Order.
In 2382, Inquisitors faced off against the Devotionalists and members of the Romulan Unification movement in several clashes on Janalwa. The Devotionalists held a public rally protesting the regime of the Pontifex Maxima in Niamlar Circle at the heart of the capital city Rashtag. The Inquisitors were ordered by Rasec to disperse the crowd, which they attempted using clubs and force field projectors to carry out the orders. When these measures were insufficient, a garrison of Breen troops fired upon the protestors with disruptors. Inquisitors continued to clash with faction members of the Devotionalists who did not ascribe to non-violent methods.
A second rally was held the following day, with a much larger crowd gathering before the Inquisitors could blockage the entry points. Again the crowd was ordered to disperse and Rasec ordered the Breen to fire upon the protest leaders, leading to panic with many fleeing for the blocked exits which the Inquisitors were hastily trying to clear. When footage of the massacre was discovered to be broadcast across the Holy Order, Rasec ordered the Breen to cease fire, but their leader refused, insisting that the firing should continue until the resistance was neutralized. Rasec had Inquisitors then train their weapons on the Breen leader, forcing the end of the violence. (ST - Typhon Pact eBook: The Struggle Within)
