Formed in 1148 by the Triumverate Council the Revenue Guard was a royal institution commanded by a Lord Commandant who oversaw three Sergeants known as the ''Sergents della Maréchaussée'' (Sergeants of the Marshalcy), responsible for collecting taxes and arresting highwaymen, and three Captains known as the ''Capitaines della Guardacostes'' (Captains of the Coast Guard), responsible for collecting tariffs and suppressing smuggling and piracy | Formed in [[1148]] by the Triumverate Council the Revenue Guard was a royal institution commanded by a Lord Commandant who oversaw three Sergeants known as the ''Sergents della Maréchaussée'' (Sergeants of the Marshalcy), responsible for collecting taxes and arresting highwaymen, and three Captains known as the ''Capitaines della Guardacostes'' (Captains of the Coast Guard), responsible for collecting tariffs and suppressing smuggling and piracy. The revenue guard grew in size from its original 7 men to 156. | ||

Following | Following [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] unification in [[1875]], [[Burgundie]] again become a world class trading nation. The maritime capabilities of the [[Revenue Guard]] were bolstered and expanded to protect this new status. [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] shipping lanes sprung up all over the world and the Revenue Guard was tasked to protect not only ships of the [[Merchant Marine of Burgundie]] but all ships from piracy and peril. To meet this expanded mission, the Revenue Guard was granted a large coastal land tracts on [[Ayersee]], [[Alcairet]], [[Torlen]], [[Medimeria]], [[Equitorial Ostiecia]], [[Sudmoll]], [[Wintergen]], and [[Nauta Normand]] to fight pirates, collect taxes, enforce maritime soverignty, and to escort trade ships. These bases turned many of these remote islands into key focal points of [[Burgundie]] which had been inwardly focused on the [[Burgoignesc Metropole|metropole]] for the last 50 years and reinvigorated the concept of the united and co-equal [[Burgoignesc thalattocracy]]. It is also the start of [[Burgundie]] taking a leading role in the enforcement of the concept of the [[Freedom of the seas]] with its harbors being considered safe harbor for all ships conducting legitimate business and the waters patrolled by the Revenue Guard as safe passage. | ||

Batallions Peniels (Eng. Penal Battalions) is the [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] term for its collection of military penal units, supervised by the Penal Service Department of the Revenue Guard. Soldiers and civilian criminals are given the option to be sentenced to these units, in exchange for reduced sentences, time served at 1.5 times the normal rate. Military members are stripped of their rank and redesignated as ''volontes reluctee'' (Eng. recruited volunteers). These units are divided into ''sindicates'' (Eng. labor companies), one is usually assigned to each overseas province, colony, or crownland in [[Burgundie]] and provide additional labor on large infrastructure projects. These units are held to a very strict ''codex de comportament'' (Eng. code of conduct), which if breached, extends the sentence in the Batallions Peniels considerably. | |||

They are trained in all matters of maritime law, maritime rescue, maritime navigation, and ship handling. They can volunteer to go on Revenue Guard missions free of charge but are tasked with menial work, hence their title Galerien ([[Aenglish language|Aeng]]: galley slave). | ||
