The Glabetovan Security Service was the secret police of the Glabetovan People's Republic during its period of governing the colony of Glabetov and up through the Outer Colonies Crisis. Formed almost immediately upon the creation of the GPR, the Security Service soon developed a fearsome reputation for hunting down UNSC sympathizers, Office of Naval Intelligence agents, and threats, real and perceived, to the Glabetovan government. This reputation led to them becoming the proverbial gold standard for Insurrectionist government secret services, with members of the GSS being heavily involved in training the Victorian Independent State's 1st Intelligence Battalion.
Despite the view of the GSS as the standard for enforcers of rebel rule, their actions were oft-brutal. From the GPR's formation in 2536 to its dissolution in 2554, personnel of the security service were responsible for carrying out extrajudicial detainments, killings, and even overseeing the usage of forced labor at Camp Omega. Those few who survived Omega and other camps reported barbaric conditions and actions carried out by their guards and interrogators, especially against those reported to be affiliated with the Office of Naval Intelligence. Their claims were proven by corroborating ONI and GPR records, indicating that no agent captured by the Glabetovan government survived captivity.
After the fall of the Republic, the Security Service continued to operate alongside guerrilla formations, carrying out operations against those who cooperated with the UNSC government at random to ensure a constant state of terror.

Operations
Post GPR
After the failure of the 2555 Glabetovan Uprising, the GSS, for the most part, went underground. Its lists of personnel, many of which had been captured by the UNSC before it could be destroyed by Glabetovan authorities, formed the basis for the list of most-wanted war criminals in the aftermath of the GPR. As a result, a great majority of those in the GSS who remained alive continued their operations of terror in collaboration with what guerrilla groups remained. Conducting operations against collaborators and government officials, personnel continued to perpetrate the terror that the mere sight of their caps had elicited in the years of the GPR. Despite remaining in plainclothes under most circumstances, during an operation, they would don their caps just before initiating it in order to make it clear to all who saw that the GSS was still active and that they could be next.
Employing the same carrot and stick approach as they had during their years of operation prior to 2555, the Security Service offered generous rewards for those who gave them actionable and truthful intelligence, and threatened those who had such intelligence but did not share it with being deemed a collaborator and rounded up themselves. Unlike the times of the GPR, these bounties were exclusively monetary, meaning that they had to up the amount of funds for bounties. These bounties would range from a few hundred Credits for outing a local collaborator or enforcer for UNSC, to over a million for an Office of Naval Intelligence agent involved with war crimes who was captured alive. With funds tight in the post-uprising reality, the actions of guerrilla groups began to revolve around these operations, robbing banks in order to supply the necessary funds to fulfill the bounties. Although many rebels were initially unhappy with this state of affairs, once they began receiving cuts of the money from successful raids and the GSS's activities began to bear fruit, this quickly faded.
Although the UNSC and ONI attempted to infiltrate the GSS many times, each attempt ended in failure, with the agent usually captured and found dead with evidence of torture weeks later. As most field personnel were relatively young and that security operations rarely involved any serious level of danger, recruitment was extremely limited, and when it was done, it was done in-house through those guerrilla units closely affiliated with the group. Even among leaders of these units, contact was limited.
Atrocities
- "They came in early in the morning, before the sun was even up, and turned the lights on in the room. I was chained to a starship's chair that was bolted into the floor, and had been there for at least a day, maybe more. I had a bag over my head, so I couldn't tell who was who. One, I'm guessing the commander of the group, asked me if my meditation had convinced me to cooperate with them. I said no, that I needed more time to think it over. Saying no flat out would land you in the poppy fields or on the edge of a pit. He responded that maybe some exercise would clear my mind. And then what they called the triathlon began. First, the guards beat my legs with truncheons, then they ordered me to stomp my beaten and broken legs on the ground as they continued to beat them, then submerged my head in water, hitting my abdomen to knock the wind out of me each time they put me under. And so it went on, for hours, and hours, and hours, round and around."
