Description
Riot Control units are used, quite obviously, for riot control, although the means of doing so depended upon which state they served. Within the Blake Protectorate, these "Pacification Units" of the Protectorate Militia were created with public relations in mind, knowing full well how the enemies of the Word of Blake could use their brutal tactics against them. Armed only with non-lethal weaponry and riding in special transports, these units often operated in sub-platoons in order to more easily flank a difficult mob or clear a structure.[1]
Armament
Pacification Units carried only Tranq Guns and Stunsticks in order to subdue civilians and, more importantly, minimize casualties.
