Comms Load 9 - Further art!

The UN law officers don't always go around in their armor. In places like the flotillas of Alpha Centauri, or Orion, or some of the middle aged colonies, the locals consider themselves a proud part of the UN. In such places, police still wear their white jump-suits, but without the armor, they are somewhat less menacing.

Still, the white uniform has came to mean that the UN is in charge where ever it is seen. I should note that in places that are not at risk of "secessionist activity", the UN tends to send nicer, more complacent police, with attitudes akin to those of 20th century police.

On wilder worlds, or worlds that have attempted secession, the UN deliberately sends rougher, less tolerant police. They do so as a show of force. this approach has had mixed results. It helps them hold onto colonies, but does not usually go a long way towards building good will.

Also, this a challenge to any artists out there, I'm hoping to get some pics of a "Biggie", a 7 foot tall Chimera, essentially a giant Asian person, with lot of muscle and bulk. It does not have to be a soldier type, though the original Biggies were bred for war. Let me know, and email any submissions to me here at the blog!

Thanks for reading,

J

    2. The "biggies" were a product of the 2080's, (its 2393 in this universe) and are probably the least refined of the 4 "established" Chimera species.

      Originally, the Chinese government created several thousand of them to be used a special shock troopers, as they can carry a lot more gear than a base-line human. obviously, it's been a long time since then, and while many do become mercenaries, many live civilian lives as well.

      Typical biggie is about 7 feet tall, and cashes in above 350 lbs.

      so, think very large Asian in futuristic combat armor, guns still shoot bullets in this world though.
