The Referee Corps

The Referee Corps was founded on December 24, 2492, brought into being by the Council of Nations as an extranational arbitrating body with sole control over temporal technology and authority to stage temporal conflicts as "limited warfare" to resolve international disputes.

Joining the Corps
US Army Temporal Corps recruits can apply to the Referee Corps upon completion of their tour of duty. It is well known that the refs have the highest pay scale in existence and enjoy a standard of living on a par with heads of state, to whom, as an extra-national arbitrating body, they do not have to answer.

Only those scoring in the top five percent of the S.A.T.s can qualify for the Referee Corps School selection process. It is also necessary to achieve degrees in Temporal Physics, Trans-historical Adjustment and Maintenance, and Econo-political Management and Arbitration.

According to scuttlebutt, there isn't a single person in the refs under the age of one hundred.
