Do not try to understand the RoS. They're as much a 4.8something holdover as the NovaPG would be if they still existed today. They exist in the form they do with the toys they hold because Loh did mod work and because Joe is an admin. They're the HF of your corner of space.
In a nutshell: To promote peace they will kill anyone they see fighting. But that's boring so now they'll just kill anyone they see undock. For peace.
