Fort Weyr's guard serves to defend the weyr and act as peacekeepers. In accordance with military structure, the guards are ICly divided into the ranks of trainee, private, sergeant, corporal and third to first lieutenants under the command of the captain, all who ultimately must answer to the Weyrleader. Guards who Impress may be encouraged to continue their work in policing or to join the emergency response wing following weyrlinghood.

Fort's guard captain is NPC at this time, but other ranks are open to be reasonably obtained with the proper background and amount of IC experience by contacting staff.
