In a special feature we look back at the history of the Dino Security Squad (SS), the brutal fascist vanguard of the Dino Empire or the guarantee of law and order? One thing is for sure, controversy is never far away.
Since the formation of the Dino Empire under the great Ecto I there have been internal security organisations operating alongside the army. These often were informal and secret groups, often the personal bodyguards of various Lords. The assassination of Emperor Wen Dobla led to calls for a formal internal security unit to act as a police force for the empire and to be a counter balance to the army. This, the Internal Security Unit (ISU), was formed by Emperor Renesoka in 1598 (Terran date). The ISU operated as a small secret police for centuries. However under the rule of Juliawaki the ISU grew greatly in power and was renamed the SS.
It was under the control of it's first Commander Telavason that the SS gained military units and much greater influence. Infact Telavason secretly ruled the Empire for several years, keeping Juliawaki drugged. Finally in 2052 Telavason decided it was time to dispose of the figurehead and launched a coup. Ronald slew Telavason in the battle that followed and became emperor himself!
Ronald considered disbanding the SS but changed his mind. Although the SS has often been a hive of conspiracy and treason the empire might well fall without it's enforcement arm. Ronald made a reasonably clean Tribune called Holun the new SS Commander though some years later Gibson rose to command the organisation.
Gibson was later humiliated in a dinosexual scandal involving the DDS, sexual blackmail and rent dino boys. Ronald promoted his son Stinkyson to command the organisation. A surprise promotion but one that made sense considering Stinky's bad reputation and shady past. Under Stinkyson's rule the SS less rebellious but also somewhat lazy. The 2nd SS Legion became a shadow unit as funding was withdrawn.
Stinkyson could not take the shame of ruling such a corrupt and sexually deviant organisation however and resigned. Lakes became the new commander, the first to be democratically elected. Under Lakes' command the SS has begun to expand it's power again and is forming a 3rd legion. The SS is the vanguard of the Empire but often can also be it's weakpoint.
