The Colony Marshal Bureau is a federal law enforcement agency tasked with ensuring public safety, law enforcement, and judicial oversight across UN colonies, space stations, and outposts operating under United Nations jurisdiction. The CMB operates in frontier regions where local security forces are insufficient or lack jurisdictional authority. CMB marshals are empowered to enforce colonial, federal, and local laws and play a critical role in countering piracy, insurgency, and smuggling operations on the fringes of UN space.
The CMB enjoys a reputation for competence and professionalism, but it has also attracted significant controversy over its history. Critics within the UN government argue that the CMB wields too much power, with some accusing the bureau of overstepping its authority and interfering in colonial governance. Several investigations have been launched into allegations of abuses of power and corporate favoritism.
In response to alerts about illegal activities, the CMB may dispatch a patrol accompanied by a Interstellar Commerce Bureau Liaison to investigate black market operations aboard the Almayer or within various colonies. Occasionally, CMB patrols may also have a Interstellar Sapient-Life Rights Observer attached to them.

At Anchorpoint Station, a contingent of UN Marines stands ready to support the Marshals when needed. Though few in number, they are well-equipped—unlike the depleted stocks of the UNS Almayer. Should the Marshals encounter heavy resistance, where they find themselves outnumbered and outgunned, they can request immediate assistance from Anchorpoint Station. A Quick-Reaction Force will promptly deploy to ensure the safety of their fellow Marshals, prepared to handle a wide range of threats and situations.
