Free Colonies: ASDF "Night Hawks"
The Urashima Incident had profound effects throughout the Tau Ceti system, among which was the formation of the Alicanto Self-Defense Forces. Instead of the citizen militias that had existed only to assist the UMFL, the ASDF would be a professional full-time military that answers only to the local planetary government.
The Blue Raptors come equipped with the latest combat frames from Icarian Heavy Industries, though their stated purpose as a defensive force means their weapons loadouts favor less-lethal options: shock batons and frame shotguns designed to cripple or incapacitate hostile frames.
The ASDF has no love for self-styled “freedom fighters” of the APFL, and are fully prepared to bring them to trial for their crimes. Nor do they have much patience for alien squatters and their weird ideas about property rights. But these are local matters, for the ASDF to deal with. No self-respecting nation can allow off-planet militaries to tromp all over their sovereignty by sending troops to unilaterally conduct missions on local soil.
Those that do need to be taught a lesson, and the Night Hawks are prepared to teach it.
