SKY WATCH OFFICERS are the protective force of the Pangarian archipelago, tasked with enforcing the peace across all of the floating islands and their territory. They carry a fine shortsword and wear a black leather uniform that doubles as a Leather Jack, as well as a peaked hat with protective adjustable goggles. Sky Watch Officers will also have a lantern and backpack as extra equipment. The badge of the Sky Watch, which adorns their uniform, is a black sword with white wings on a blue and silver shield.

If three Sky Watch Officers are encountered, one will be a CAPTAIN (SKILL 8 STAMINA 8) who will also have a pair of Hovers. Hovers are lightweight metal wings whose flight is powered by a rechargeable Storm Crystal; as per a Flight spell for up to one hour before the Storm Crystal runs out of power. Each island has a Watch House with one Captain and 2-12 Officers, of which half will be present at any one time while the rest are out on patrol. Overall command of the Sky Watch is based at the citadel on the central island of Nimbus, where the senior officers reside. 

Due to the hidden and peaceful nature of the Pangarian isles, most duties, particularly for new recruits, are fairly menial, and involve finding lost pets and mediating disputes between neighbours about overgrown shrubs. Occasionally, Sky Watch officers will have to deal with something more dangerous, such as the presence of an aerial predator, or some of the more aggressive wildlife. There is a separate division of the Sky Watch also based at the Citadel, that deals with contact with the rest of Titan, including Air Brigands or any sea monsters that may appear below, but their work is largely shrouded in secrecy from the rest of the Pangarian populace.
