Receiving a visit from the department head of the Enforcement Department was a big deal.
The Enforcement Department played the same role as its counterpart in the Red Association.
It was the military arm of the Red Collective.
Every department of the RC fielded its own troops, but the Enforcement Department was special because it organized all of the real military units and made important strategic decisions.
Its department head was a big deal.
The Red Collective was set up as a decentralized superorganization courtesy of Ves, so it explicitly lacked a single absolute leader or a small group of people who held all of the reins of power.
Even so, the department heads held much of the power of the RC by virtue of their executive authority.
Unlike the councilors who could only exercise their power indirectly by voting on different bills, the department heads could decide how to implement the acts that the two councils had passed.
