A very important role with the Vigilistum, one that pretty much keeps order within the Empire when it comes to disputes, that would be the Role of Arbitrator.

Arbitrators are in a sort off way 'Minor Judges' who are able to act within the same rules as a judge and pretty much be 'The Law' while judges try and punish those who do crimes the Arbitrator settles disputes whether it is a small thing like land rights to corporation mining rights.

Just like Judges they are split into a variety of branches and ranks for varying affairs. Some are dedicated to business affairs while others land rights and so on.

Basic ranks are:

Street Arbitrator:

Wandering Arbitrators who can be summoned by quarreling parties

Arbitrator:

A more official Arbitrator for more serious affairs

Grand Arbitrator:

Arbitrators for whole planets and only brought when some disagreement is threatening the stability of the Empire

Arbitrators are summoned for what ever the issue is and solve it. Either totally agreeing with one side or doing a compromise. Either way there word is law and there is no appeals process (Unless a Arbitrator could be proven to be horribly bias or the out come lead to serious damages to one party).

Arbitrators can also be summoned at court cases if the court needs a mediator (During a hung jury is when a Arbitrator is summoned although trial by jury is very rare within the Empire most court trials are rather swift, like 5 minuets at most)

Arbitrators wear golden/yellowish armor with red and white trim and a crimson cape/overcoat. they carry the power maul (As it is the symbol of the Vigilistum)

Arbitrators like judges are trained at the Schola Lex and generally are considered very wise and 'noble' when it comes to rulings (Noble for Rin standards)

Arbitrators like the whole of the Vigilistum believe in swift justice with most cases being solved in a matter of minuets. Although you would think "What about errors and messing up sentences?" like the whole of the Vigilistum they are although fast they take everything into consideration, although if new striking evidence is too show up at a later date a re-trial can be made (Only if the evidence would tip the trial in the favor of one party) although these are rare indeed.
