"We are a single body, with no allegiance to anyone but ourselves. We offer one, simple service to all of our clients - we will cross contested jurisdictions for you, find who or what you’re looking for, and bring it back to you in the condition requested. Simple. Elegant. No one knows who hires us, but everyone knows they can trust us to get the job done, and we can guarantee that because our agents are guided by one principle, one code. What is that code?"
"The Warrant is all."
- Turin, RAC Officer
Background[]
The Reclamation Apprehension Coalition, commonly called The RAC, is an independent organization that operates in several star systems throughout the J Star Cluster.[1] The RAC licenses, governs, and disciplines Reclamation Agents and issues Warrants for clients. In the Quad, the RAC's local headquarters is a RAC Cruiser, which is also referred to as The Rack.

Organization[]
Reclamation Agents[]
- Reclamation Agents are responsible for carrying out warrants.[2] They are also known as Killjoys.
Warrant Brokers[]
- Most warrants are handled through warrant brokers.[3] Various warrants are handed out to Reclamation Agents based on their level allowance.
RAC Officers[]
- Officers form the management of the RAC, handling recruitment, licensing, discipline and warrant approval.
- High ranking officers are assigned to the Office of Interstellar Expansion, on Level 71 of The Rack, to handle interstellar business such as setting up branch offices in other star systems.[4]
Oversight Teams[]
- The RAC maintains Oversight Teams that are sent out to RAC Offices that are experiencing problems or have situations that require external investigation.[5]
Warrants[]
A Warrant
Each warrant authorizes an agent or team to engage in a specific mission, such as retrieving an item, capturing a criminal, rescuing a hostage or protecting a client. Warrants are subject to an approval process, and getting a level 5 warrant approved generally requires considerable money and power. Officially, the RAC is not supposed to approve warrants on political opponents.[6]
Reclamation Agents have considerable leeway in the pursuit of warrants, however they can be subject to fines for collateral damage and penalties for misconduct.
Secrets and Conspiracies[]
While the RAC officially claims to take no sides in political conflicts, they were secretly involved in the Qreshi coup conspiracy. At least one Level 6 agent was involved in the assassinations, and at least one high-ranking RAC officer was aware of the conspiracy.[7]
After the Qreshi Coup, Turin believes the RAC has been taken over by Level 6 Agents and enlists the help of Dutch and the team to investigate as he doesn't know who else to trust.[8]
