The Riot Agent Corps is a Kirkwall-based unit that was brought into existence during the darkest days of the Alliance theater of the Voshkod Invasion of Aquila. As Voshkod forces closed in on the Ferelden Isles, the civilian population began to panic and the threat of a complete breakdown of order became prominent. Riot Agents, equipped with grenade launchers and flash-bang grenades, were deployed to counter this threat, and within weeks the threat had diminished to almost nothing (though a spike in police brutality incidents was noted by the media, an inevitable result of deploying military units to keep order with civilians.)

While not actually armed with any sort of weaponry that can directly cause harm, the nonlethal weaponry of Riot Agents are no less effective at dealing with enemies on the battlefield as they are at dispersing riots. Their flash-bang can incapacitate infantry with a blinding flash of light, leaving them stunned and unable to attack. While less effective than an Attack Dog's incapacitating bark, the flash-bang grenades can be fired far more often and can be used from a greater distance. In addition, the grenades can force out occupants when used on garrisoned buildings, causing anyone hiding inside to stumble out.

Apart from their flash-bangs, Riot Agents also carry a supply of special canisters, which release a viscous pink liquid upon impact. A non-Newtonian liquid, this substance, known as GOOP (Generally Obstructive Oxidised Plastic), can rapidly immobilize any vehicles unlucky enough to be caught in it, hardening around tracks and wheels to stop targets from moving, even getting into mechanical components and weapon parts, jamming up weapons and slowing their rate of fire.

More recently, Riot Agents have also been issued with EMP munitions to use with their grenade launchers. These munitions are best used against structures, being capable of shorting out the electrical systems in a building, leaving it disabled temporarily.
