Liberators Army
A Paramilitary Peace keeping force that originated from the Regular Army and became an independent armed force after the Regular Army was dissolved.


 * Badass Army They are the only Army that can wear Orange and still look good fighting.
 * Battle Cry De Oppresso Liber which is Latin for Liberate the oppressed.
 * Bulletproof Vest: The standard infantry now wear these as standard issue and it doubles as a tactical load bearing vest.

 * Loads and Loads of Characters
