The Native Protection Agency, or NPA, was Manticoran law enforcement agency on Medusa - resposible for protection of the Medusans. The Agency was subordinated to the Resident Commissioner for Planetary Affairs. (HH1)
Duties[]
NPA was the main police organization on Medusa, in fact, responsible for internal security there. Before 1900 PD, instead of the Royal Manticoran Navy, the Agency provided flight control around the planet, as well as customs service.
