"They spend a lot of credits on crime prevention in the Sector. That means extensive checks and scans everywhere you go. Weapons scanners up the wagyx, citizenship IDs, ship waiver checks, the whole drill. Most of the weapon-detection equipment is passive so most people never even have a clue. Compare that to a standard Imperial security barricade or identiscan post. Then again. in the Empire, nobody gets vaped on account of a mistuned kilo-erg potentiometer. Take your pick.

What was needed for these jobs were rank and file troops. The Authority learned from the Empire just how important fear could be in forestalling trouble, so it wanted front line enforcers who could instill fear. Across the Empire, the Authority recruited the meanest and most ruthless beings, sometimes even hiring (and brainwashing) ex-convicts. hired goons and former terrorists. The Authority bought their loyalty with perks and the opportunity to indulge their darkest whims. In some cases, the Authority purchased critninals from Imperial prisons, indoctrinated them and put them in uniform as Espos. The Authority keeps this last point a secret. What the Authority can't hide, of course, is just how twisted and brutal the Espos are. But then, they say a gram of prevention . . .
The Authority takes considerable pride in its private army of Espo troopers and officers. Their personal equipment is state of the art. Espos often get prototype gear from munitions companies. This equipment often gets its first testing under real fire situations with Espos. Generally, Espos prefer to use stun weapons, but when that isn't sufficient, they dont hesitate to pull out blasters.
Espos aren't soldiers and aren't looking to be heroes. If a "scenario" proves more than they bargained for, then they call in the heavy weapons. Most Espos are trained in anti-insurgent or special weapons tactics; some practice small-unit assaults.
Typically, an Espo squad will resort to more excessive force than other police forces. Only Imperial stormtroopers are as likely to use heavy weapons. Most of the Espo heavy weapons are anti-personnel and therefore can be used with impunity around delicate structures.
