Ming Cha

The Ming Cha is the secretive and elite police force of Zion who work to capture, interrogate, and imprison political dissidents. The organization was founded by Grand Secretariat Cha with the aim of "protecting the cultural heritage of Zion", effectively protecting the Dragon Emperor's interest against subversive individuals and groups.

The Ming Cha became corrupt over time and did not fulfill the purposes proposed and intended by its founder. During the Huo-Long Dynasty, Ming Cha Chief Cha was able to conspire with the Ming Cha and effectively rule Zion, reducing the position of the Dragon Emperor to nothing more than a figurehead. The Ming Cha's corruption and decadence was so advanced that they later came under the command of Prince Asa, relinquishing any loyalty to Zion, and assisting Azaria in the capture of Zion. After the war, however, they regained the trust of the government of Zion and began to serve again as the monarchy's secret police, only this time with direct loyalty to the crown itself. They became Dragon Emperor Dragases' trusted enforcers, supporting his regime and aiding his plans.

After the coronation of Anthony and the election of Chief Martinez as the new Chief of the Ming Cha, the organization slowly became more of a police-like force, opening up to the public and openly acting as the protectors of Zion. However, corruption within the Ming Cha remained and slowly spread to all of its members. After the reforms made by Henry, the Ming Cha was reformed into a police system and corruption ceased.
