Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Ouroboros Peacekeeper Division

The Ouroboros Peacekeeper Division, known as the Ouroboros military police force, are one of the twenty-four factions in Kalran: Tales of the four nations.

Tactics
The Ouroboros is an elite faction specializing in counter-insurgency, consisting of the peacekeeper volunteers, an elite but expensive force costing harder to gain mandate, fast and powerful artillery, though most of them lacking in ways of razing structures, and the penitent legion, which are cheaper in supplies and can be revived who acts as meat shields. With their battles relying scouting out the enemy for their weakest point before sending in the penitent legion to take the hits while the volunteers and their artillery strike at their foes. Also their air units, consisting only of helicopters or airship, have unlimited ammo to compensate being only a support force to the infantry rather than a combat force, since a police force doesn't need much of an airforce.

Mechanics

 * Specialization: Specializations are required to advance beyond Tier 1 for Ouroboros, unlocked by the Precinct. They do not require a build time, but are not reversible; once selected, that is the specialty for the entire battle.
 * SWAT Razzia: Trained for putting damage on a single point to break an enemy advance or defensive line, the SWAT Razzia specialty creates a hard-charging, death-dealing Ouroboros force. All units gain an increase in both damage and rate of fire.
 * Logistics Base: Holding the line against enemy forces, the Logistics Base specialty involves tougher defenses and improved logistics to wear down the enemy advance. All buildings and defenses built or occupied by Ouroboros forces gain additional health and armor.
 * Intelligence Network: Relying on government agents to subvert foes with covert tactics, the Intelligence Network specialty emphasizes supportive capabilities and a greater focus on 'conditioning' enemies and recruiting civilians into allies in due time. Units gain an increased range of sight and are stealthed when not moving or attacking.
 * Veterancy: As enemies of Ouroboros dies, whether by the volunteers, the penitents, or the defenses, experience are granted nearby volunteers. If there are no nearby volunteers when an enemy is killed, the experience is instead split between all volunteers in the field, as volunteers gains experience they gain a rank, up to six times, which improves their damage, armor, health, and gains health regeneration
 * Governors mandate: While the government has one of the more powerful protocols, upgrades, and the deadliest infantry in the peacekeeper units. They are limited by the people's support, with the higher up refusing to grant the commander use of a protocol or a unit unless the people see it as necessary. Most of the protocols, Peacekeepers, and their upgrades require to pay a secondary price, known as mandate, to cast their abilities or purchase them. But in turn they’re significantly more powerful. But it generates slowly through time, but can be accelerated by indoctrinating their forces through the Government witness, numbers of volunteer units on the field, and among each of the commanders passive
 * Tech tree:
 * Suppression: Through their use of riot gear and equipment for the volunteers. This tree grants commander access to Ouroboros more powerful, if considered controversial, weapons for the volunteers, from potassium k rounds to napalm, to further supress and eliminate any opposition and dissidents
 * Surveillance: Tasked to root out sedition and watch for sabotage. This tree grants the commander Ouroboros advance surveillance systems, defenses, and rapid response. Making it so that their enemies can't evade they sight and that that they are hunted down like dogs once spotted
 * Propaganda: Using the power of media and control. This tree allows the commander to not only access to Ouroboros more powerful protocols but also increase the ways and amount they can generate mandate. Allowing them to both call protocols and volunteers more frequently
