ROM Organizational Structure

[ROM Agent]

Historical Background

See Background and History: ROM.

Command Structure

Assisting the Precentor ROM are the State Administrators, one for each of the six Successor States and the four territories currently occupied by the Clans. Each of these ten administrators oversees operations within his or her respective jurisdiction and keeps the Precentor informed of foreign agents' activities within each region. The administrators also enforce official policies to ensure the continued security of the service in each region, including the recently enacted mandate that all Word of Blake agents discovered within ROM suffer immediate execution. Many ComStar members consider this policy unnecessarily harsh, but most ROM agents believe that only such drastic measures can ensure the protection of ComStar as a whole.

Each world still containing an operational, ComStar-administered HPG facility maintains a ROM base, normally located within the HPG facility. Under the command of an administrator, ROM personnel assigned to these bases protect the families from enemy agents and carry out all intelligence operations on the planet. To support these planetary ROM operations, Precentor Parrdeau maintains a standing core of fast-response groups who, with the aid of a fleet of JumpShips, can respond immediately to any crisis situation.

Rank Structure

ROM ranks its members according to a system similar to that of the ComGuards, using classifications based upon the Greek alphabet to identify ROM's various divisions. Each of the branches listed below also shows its operatives' standard classification.
