Role[]
The Hillyan Army claim to be a separate section of the peacekeeping forces of Hillys, and are not connected to the Alpha Sections nor their schemes in any way other than being two sides of the Military. Despite the Alpha Sections' presence, the regular Army are still stationed throughout Hillys, primarily within the City, taking on a more public security role as opposed to the Alpha Sections who tend to work privately, guarding their own interests, as well as managing so-called 'Civil Security'.
Following the Hillyan revolution and exposure of the Alpha Sections, the Hillyan Army joins the attack force against the DomZ and Alpha forces on Selene.
Training[]
Prior to at least 2435 the Hillyan Army was in control of most security concerns, and the force was made up of mainly (or entirely) Hillyan citizens who had to undertake a Hillyan Army training program. The army follows the regulations outlined in a book of 5 volumes called 'Carlson and Peeters', and tend to base their moral code and values on these texts. Double H used to be a sergeant within the Army, and frequently quotes passages from the aforementioned manual.
Equipment[]
Hillyan Soldier stats.
The Regular Army troops wear large suits of bronze armour and helmets somewhat resembling gas masks. As well as being very durable in combat situations, this equipment is also resistant to Military and Alpha Section grade lasers. Some troops, such as Double H, are trained to wield the standard-issue T-Hammer.
Trivia[]
- In contrast to the gallant Double H, several soldiers of the Hillyan Army display some casual sexism towards Jade, referring to her as "shortcake" and "pixie".
