User blog:El Alamein/Peacekeepers vs. Combine Civil Protection



It's a battle between two brutal faceless enforcers of unflinching law as these two groups gear up for war! The Peacekeepers, Panem's ruthlessly efficient long arm of the law who cracked down hard on the dissidents inspired by Katniss Everdeen and the Second Rebellion, mobilize against the Civil Protection, the Combine's urban thought police who made their presence known in City 17 with frequent patrols and little mercy! It will be a bloody confrontation as the best weapons and hardest units two oppressive governments can muster are thrown head-to-head in unforgiving combat, but only one can be the deadliest warrior!

Peacekeepers




The  Peacekeepers  are a group of military police stationed throughout the nation of Panem. Trained and raised in District 2 (located in the southwest of the nation), the Peacekeepers employ brutal tactics and torture to regulate control. Often needlessly executing those deemed unfit by the Capital, the Peacekeepers are nonetheless an efficient method of controlling the population with fear and suppression. After Katniss Everdeen inspires a general uprising the Peacekeepers are employed in a desperate measure to restore control across the land. Their sheer brutality stems the tide of the rebel assaults, but eventually Katniss' leadership and the overwhelming public sentiment against the Capital leads to the defeat of the Peacekeeping forces and an end to the civil war.

Combine Civil Protection




The Civil Protection is the urban police employed by the Combine forces to maintain order and quash dissidence. The Civil Protection is notable as it is comprised of human volunteers (as opposed to the Combine's "transhuman" Overwatch soldiers). As a result they often receive better treatment and protection (in addition to authority over other citizens). Designed to conceal their human features, the Civil Protection is organized to intimidate and brutalize. This focus resulted in poor organization, though, as they were infiltrated by Resistance member Barney Calhoun and many were killed by Gordon Freeman (earning him the title Anticitizen One in the process).

X-Factors
|-| Training=

Peacekeepers: 75

Civil Protection: 59

The Civil Protection is primarily comprised of civilian volunteers who employ scare tactics and brutality in lieu of formal training. The Peacekeepers, alternately, came from a paramilitary-style background with heavy influence from the Roman Empire; as such, training is an integral part of their maintenance.


 * -| Combat Experience=

Peacekeepers: 73

Civil Protection: 80

The Peacekeepers fought against a popular civilian uprising, and engaged in pitched battles as well as special operations missions in search of Katniss and other high-value targets. Before the Second Civil War, however, their role was relegated primarily to policing duties. However, the Civil Protection not only deals with maintaining order daily, they also defended City 17 against Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance as they attempted to prevent the reactivation of the Citadel's containment system. They also had to deal with threats such as Antlions and Headcrabs.


 * -| Discipline=

Peacekeepers: 68

Civil Protection: 42

The Peacekeepers displayed a remarkable sense of discipline even when facing overwhelming numbers by resistance members in open combat. The Civil Protection, alternately, was quite disorganized (so much so, in fact, that enemy infiltrators made successful operations from within the group) and frequently displayed poor combat behavior such as firing from the hip.


 * -| Brutality=

Peacekeepers: 90

Civil Protection: 84

While the Civil Protection was quite fierce in their frequent raids on civilian zones and beat civilians at the slightest provocation, the Peacekeepers blatantly executed individuals in public and tortured and brutalized those they spared in order to send a message. The Civil Protection may have also killed innocents, but never on such a large or public scale as the Peacekeepers.

Battle
Will be 5-on-5.
