The Red Detachment of Women (Sororitas Rubicans), officially known as the Honor Guard, is an elite platoon of soldiers created to protect the life of the Comrade Premier. First formed several hundred years ago during the Revolution as an elite strike force to battle against the monarchy that ruled Dornalia beforehand loyal to the Premier and General Shimura, it has remained a symbol of the Premier's status as the commander-in-chief of the Workers State.
Red Detachment soldiers are now mostly tasked with guarding the Premier's Residence, their role mostly subordinated to ad hoc Honor Guards and People's Acolytes bodyguards in recent times. However, owing to their expert ability, the Red Detachment has recently been reorganized and has been now reinstated as the Premier's main bodyguard unit, following him around New Dornalia.
Red Detachment is trained from the best of the best of the Red Army and the People's Navy Marine Corps--it maintains a 50/50 ratio of each.
Combat gear is Clan-derived, utilizing Clan purchased Nano-Muscle Suits. Ceremonial gear is somewhat fanciful. Otherwise, duty uniforms are as standard.
