The Cenataurum Royal Guard serve the Emperor of the Centauri Republic in many different ways, acting in any role from bodyguard to elite trooper on the front lines of battle to an expedient assassination in the dark if such is the Emperor's will. The temperament of these finest members of the Centaurum largely dependds on the personality of the Emperor during their service, though certain facets of their training and skills ahve remained the same for generations. Since the glorious days of the old Republic, when the Centauri stretched forth their hand and saw it close around a hundred star systems, the Centauri Royal Guards have been the proud arm supporting that grasp.

Each Centaurum Royal Guard is one of the greatest assets of the Imperial Court and none are spent lightly. In exchange for their expensive training and exquisite arms of service, the Royal Guard sears a life long oath under th administration of telepathy to forever uphold the will of the Emperor. As such, they can never be bought or bribed and will never yield to any force that could turn them against their recognised regent of the Centauri people, no matter who sits on the throne. This lyalty is absolute, which can be a grave detriment to the Guards in service when someone wishes to move against the Emperor. More often than not, Royal Guards in the way have to be eliminated during the course of this ambition.

The Royal Guard of the Centaurum have a great deal of cross training, allowing them to serve on starships, in gound vehicles, as escorts and warriors and even as diplomate o the rare occassions when a Centauri noble is not present to act in that capacity. As such, their value is not lost on others of their kind and members of alien races with any cause recognise their station. The authority they wiel as the right hands of hte emperor often places them in positions of command, although they do not technically hold any rank in the centauri military unless they held one prior to their appointment to the Royal Guard.

Cenataurum Royal Guards are appointed by the Emperor directly, though political manoeuvering and currying favours among the nobility on Centauri Prime can go a long way towards being noticed for such as honour. Because of royal guards telepathically bound to the will of the Emperor, it is a security risk for any member of the Royal Guard to possess telepathic powers. As such, only in the most extraordinary of circumstances would a telepathic Centauri become a Cenaturum Royal Guard.
