The Spartacus Legion of Tarper is one of two federal police forces of Tarper, along with the Federal Police. It is a branch of the Tarperti Armed Forces placed under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense, with additional duties to the Ministry of the Interior. Its area of responsibility includes smaller towns, rural and suburban areas, and serves alongside the Federal Police, a civilian force, in the cities and downtowns. Due to its military status, the Legion also fulfills a range of military and defense missions. The Legionaries also have a cybercrime division. It has a strength of more than 100,000 personnel as of 2014.

The Spartacus Legion is heir to the Royal Guard, the oldest police force in Tarper, dating back to the Middle Ages.
