They have the absolute authority to execute any officer found guilty of treason or conspiracy against the King or Empire, though only the Lord Commissariat-General has the authority to execute Marshals, with the permission of the Prime Minister, Only Lord Commissariats have the to execute Generals, with the permission of the LCG or PM. They have authority to remove any officer from command if he is found lacking in morality or loyalty, and to take command if necessary.

They work tirelessly to purge the Empire of traitors and malcontents, and will take any man they find guilty of treason straight to their Top Secret Base, for either interrogation and torture, or execution by drowning, few prisoners ever leave the Commissariat HQ alive, even fewer remember what happened to them..

They are led by the Lord Commissariat-General Richard Venables.

No one knows who they are and no one dares ask for fear of the retribution of the Prefects.

Uniform
"It Isn't the scarlet sash or fancy hat that makes you a Commissariat, It's the way you wear them."

- Lord Commissariat Crane to a group of Cadet Commissariats

Commissariats need to stand out on the field of battle and to do so they wear distinctive black long coats with tall red collars and lapels that stand out amongst the red of the British Armed Forces and EITC, they wear two golden epaulettes on their shoulders and they wear distinctive black dress uniforms with gold and silver trim under their long coats, as well as scarlet caps, with a skull surrounded by a wreath. They typically wear skulls and laurel wreaths as added embellishment to their uniforms on top of their caps.
