Arch Vigils are  for the most part the enforcers of the law. While normally Vigils deal with more petty crimes Arch Vigils deal with threats to the empire security as a whole. Threats like, corruption, heresy, and witchery. They unlike Standard Vigils are not assigned to any world instead Arch Vigils are assigned to worlds for a short time (Enough time to eliminate the threat) and then assigned somewhere else.

They wear much heavier armor then the standard vigil and also have acess to better weapons and gear. They also hold much more power (About the same power as a judge) this power has lead to them being called 'Street Judges'.

Arch Vigils are also assigned with them 'Hit Squads' who help them take out targets and serve as guards to the Arch Vigil. These individuals are normally called 'Vigil Troopers' and are like the equivalent of the SWAT teams of our day.

Each planet is assigned a detachment of Vigils and Vigil Troopers (Not all Vigil Troopers are assigned to Arch Vigils) who reside within a heavily fortified complex called 'The Palace of Justice' from here the entire network of imperial law for a planet is planned out and the armories and housing for vigils is located.
