Ooh, ooh, ooh, I can help! At around 11:00 you express confusion about why the Arbiters would be called "Arbiter-General" in addition to other, seemingly inferior ranks. It's because the use of "General" as a suffix has historically denoted someone with a broad, rather than a specific, remit as opposed to the modern use of General which denotes a very high rank. So it's "General" as in "General purpose" as opposed to "General Custer".

@@Arkume8Beltz You could play arbitrators in old Necromunda. Proper ones acting on the Lex Imperialis, not a goon squad from Helmawr. They had some funky rules. Most of all, they were outside the normal economy rules. You get a squad of ten, no less and no more. Each start with free gear. Pretty good gear too, carapace armour, bolt pistols, boltguns and special arbites shotguns across the board. They had no territory. They do not work territory. They don't visit the market or pay upkeep. They get free medical. Each time a vacancy from injury, promotion or death happens a brand new arbiter with basic kit gets assigned. They can kick other gangs from territory but does not take it themselves. Each game, you can only bring five models. Once a model has participated in two games, they must sit one out. Models out of the fight are manning the front desk of the fortress and suppressing citizenry. Only when the enemy gang is double the value of the five-man patrol do they leave the precinct-fortress on a ten-man reinforced patrol.

This is the most informative and comprehensive Adeptus Arbites video I've seen on youtube, very nice work! You've done a great job outlining their structure and role within the Imperium. I think too many people compartmentalise their role down to "space cops" without really understanding their function. I cannot help but get the feeling this is why they've slowly been relegated to background lore where they once stood on the tabletop. We need more lore scholars like yourself to tell people why the Imperium needs the Adeptus Arbites, how they differentiate from Inquisitors, and how they're more than just planetary beat cops. Their role in Imperial governance and enforcement might be paramilitary in nature, but their ready access to arms and armour is one of the greatest among all the Imperium's armed forces. Enough so they at least shouldn't remain relegated to 'general PDF' in casual mention.

An arbitrator gang in old Necromunda played a little different. Arbitrators don't have turf. Or they have a single piece of turf, the precinct-fortress the squad mounts patrols from. The arbitrators had their upkeep paid and in case an arbiter was retired from wounds, killed or promoted up the ranks and out of the squad (as all gangers were when they capped out their level) you got a free replacement with the basic kit. They are effectively outside the economy system, one arbiter at a time can sit in the medical room free of charge. They might loot stuff from gangers they arrest but they never go to the market, never work territory, never pay upkeep. Instead of freely recruiting juves and gangers, the enforcers come in a standard squad of ten. One of whom is a sergeant/gang leader, a couple can carry support weapons and one is a cyberdog-handler who controlled an 11th model (technically a piece of gear), a cyber-mastiff. The downside was that only half the full squad would be out on patrol, meaning you normally had five enforcers during a skirmish unless the opposing gangs were high-level. After two patrols outside they had to sit out a shift manning the front desk at the precinct. If the enemy gang was double the value of the arbitrators, they would roll out the entire garrison. They have no juves and no specialist characters, they are only defined by holding a piece of special gear. They all got basic gear from the administratum and lord Helmawr instead of having to root around on the underhive market for starter equipment. The entire gang had carapace armour, the heaviest stuff you could get in a Necromunda game plus respirators and photo-visors in the helmets. Lowered their Initiative, but at least they all had effective armour. They had bolt pistols, boltguns and enforcer shotguns across the board or suppression shields and powermauls. The cyber-mastiff was a bit beastly in close combat but didn't have any ranged weapons.

Since cover and concealment were so useful in 2e, it was better to fire a volley of shotguns at concealed targets but if they were in the open a targeter was the better option. With the rules changes, shotguns got nerfed hard.
