Line 1:
In the '[[Daylight]]' [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] continuum, the '''United States Marshals Service''' is the sole remaining law-enforcement agency empowered by the existing U.S. Government. The exact number of U.S. Marshals is unknown, but (at present) the USMS is the largest known force operating on American soil. (The USMS numbers about three to four times the number of the [[United States Military Command
In addition to law-enforcement, the USMS also acts as the representatives of the government in matters of administrative duties at the local level. In addition, the USMS can be used by the government to 'carry out unusual or extraordinary missions'; this broad definition of the agency's jurisdictional scope means that in many cases, the USMS can and will engage in a wide variety of activities in the current environment.
Line 10:
It is rumored that a small contingent of [[Ringbearers]] was instrumental in the construction of the headquarters, and has helped in the creation and stabilization of the subterranean environment (this includes the underground forest preserve, and a small lake). If true, this would be the first major interaction with the Corps of Ringbearers since their arrival from off-world one week after Zero Hour, and their first major incursion in the Western Hemisphere since their arrival. {The Ringbearers first established their presence in central Asia, building a large Citadel in China near the Three Gorges Dam and remaining on Chinese territory for a full three months before actively operating anywhere else on Earth. The reason for this is still unknown.)
As of 2018 (the events of ''Daylight'' on D-1111 were time-shifted due to the events of ''The Judith Conflict'' and the ''Spoilsport Agenda''), it is known that several more cities than expected have survived. Among those cities is [http://troma.wikia.com/wiki/Tromaville Tromaville, New Jersey]. Both the cities of Toronto and Ottawa (in the Canadian province of Ontario) have survived, as have the cities of New Orleans and Las Vegas (the latter being taken over by the ''[[Arcana Federation]]'').
It is now known that the Corps of Ringbearers has expanded their presence in the former central United States. They have completed work on a Citadel which has been constructed directly beneath the remains of Olathe. They have made diplomatic overtures to the existing government for extraterritoriality, and in exchange have signed a mutual-defense treaty (which means that if called upon, the Corps will supply troops for any necessary conflict). To that end, several thousand [[Corps Security and Protection Division]] officers have been based at the Citadel to provide any necessary forces and to help with reconstruction efforts in the area.
In the mainstream [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] continuity, efforts are being made to centralize the majority of Federal metahuman operations within the U.S. Marshals Service (as opposed to military metahuman operations, which are handled through the [[United States Special Powers Command]]).
