Space Police IV: Welcome to the Dark Side of the Moon

[Murdoch17]

Background for the Space police version 1 -4:

In the original Space Police, they were just that, a police force in space. They would round up bad guys and put them in jail to await trial. After the prisons became full and the Blacktron Wars got really close to home, they turned into a SPII, an army of police men & women ready to fight any battle any way that it took to win. After the war was over they were scaled way back in terms of power and influence. By 2007, the Space Police had been put under the control of the Universal Space Congress and turned into their third incarnation, which was basically SPI but more refined. Instead of throwing them in jail, they put them in stack-able, easier-to-maintain cyro-pods to await trial. Then the Black Hole gang (secretly under the sway of the Blacktron) arrived. They destroyed several SPIII stations, and sent many convicts free. Meanwhile, Blacktron officials officially denounced the Black Hole Gang and spread rumors of police corruption and gang / police cooperation conspiracy throughout the Congress via their agents. The SPIII were able to stop those rumors and put the Blacktron's plans in the spotlight, but at great cost. With Congress' eyes opened to the Blacktron's plan of severing the ties between themselves and it's only protectors - the Space Police- the congress gave everything they had to the police who then stopped the war by vaporizing the Blacktron home-world . Unfortunately, the all-alien Black Hole Gang led to some anti-alien polices to be installed in the Space Police, now in their 4th Incarnation. This has led to clashes between the Police and Alien Rights groups.

As of January 1st 2014, The Space Police have made the Universe more like a military state under their control. Even the space congress unofficially serves them as payback for the SP saving the known universe in the war. Everyone officially denies it, but at the same time they know who pulls the strings and what will happen to them if they talk. Some people try to stop them, but they almost always disappear - another loose end severed.

It is almost as if the Space Police had turned into the very thing they sought to destroy.

The fourth incarnation of the Space Police has high tech gear everywhere. From high powered engines to hidden weaponry that is used to "protect the innocent civilians" (read: protect the police officers & their assets) The center vehicle was specially built to handle crowd control duty (note the large "stun" cannon), while the other two vehicles are regular squad cars. Their is another Police vehicle not seen here, a quite large drop-ship. (AKA the Summer LEGO Movie drop ship)

Yes, the space police have fallen far from the lofty perch from which they started from...

After the third era of Space Police ended with the demise of Brick Daddy and the merging of the Black Hole Gang into the remaining Blacktron forces, Space Police has become increasingly military-like. They show arms openly, and and often wrongly target aliens as the cause of problems as a result of the alien-only Black Hole Gang's brutal warfare against mainstream society. The Space Police IV's leader is Sgt. Rodney 'Ironlegs' O'Brien seen here with four regular patrol officers.

Fourth wall:

I built these for fun while writing a dystopian-like LEGO society story you see here. These models are 100% build able in real life, and I will get to them someday (hopefully!)
