Honor Guards for the Coalition and NGR?

Unread post by Slimon386 »

So Im curious if any of the big tech nations have like the elite of the elite, or like honor guard to protect head officials like the secret service? If not then what could be some options for like the Coalition and NGR?

i'd expect them to have the exact same gear as any other unit, just that they'd be handpicked for their experience and loyalty. probably receive some extra diplomatic training to keep them from causing an incident.

I think they'd be members of commando units, hand picked using the commando armor with the military etiquette skill since there is no diplomacy skill. The military etiquette skill is supposed to provide all the ins and outs of military politics and traditions which in the case of high ranking officers would include how to carry yourself and act in a political/diplomatic environment.

iirc there is mention that the CS has a bodyguard unit for the proseks, as well as body doubles, special clear armor panels for podiums during speeches, etc.
