Lansling Security Forces

The LSF, a security agency, is entrusted with the vital task of ensuring security and protection in Lansling. While initially not extensively militarized, the police force forming the core of LSF underwent militarization in 1970, prompted by the ongoing unfortunate attrition of officers. During the 1970s, the activity of the LSF witnessed a significant surge owing to the emergence of unders. It transitioned from a localized law enforcement agency to a highly militarized counter-terrorist force that devoted its efforts to combating the menace posed by religious extremists.

### Patrol Antrim

The Patrol Antrim, originally established as a basic patrol unit for the LSF, was primarily responsible for addressing minor threats and ensuring adherence to basic law. However, in 1964, this police force found itself thrust into a situation that exceeded its capabilities, as it lacked the necessary equipment to effectively combat the challenges it faced. Recognizing this limitation, the Patrol Antrim underwent a transformation in 1970, becoming a fully militarized counter-terrorist force.

Equipped with battle rifles and SMGs, and fortified police stations, the Patrol Antrim embraced a new approach rooted in military tactics. They honed their skills in explosive entry and surprise raids, expanding their capabilities beyond traditional policing methods. Consequently, the once-pitied police force, reluctantly drawn into an unwanted conflict, underwent a profound change in perception.

No longer the object of sympathy, the Patrol Antrim became synonymous with fear, viewed as formidable and ruthless. Their reputation as brutal killers who responded with violence in the face of any unjust act preceded them. Amidst this transformation, the Patrol Antrim gained notoriety and commanded respect for their ability to enforce the law with unwavering resolve.

### Armed Support Group

The Armed or Armoured Support Group, known by their nickname "The Blue Berets," is a well-equipped and heavily militarized organized crime agency that remained inactive until 1965. The ASG served as a highly organized paramilitary division of the LSF, responsible for combatting severe internal threats that posed a significant risk to public safety and the potential for substantial loss of life. Following intense gunfights and persistent domestic attacks that overwhelmed the Antrim, the ASG was deployed to Lansling in 1965. Renowned for their exceptional skills, the ASG consisted of expert commandos proficient in various roles such as snipers, medics, seasoned gunfighters, and stealth operatives. Acting as frontline operators, the ASG played a crucial role in the Unders conflict.

### Special Response Group

A covert intelligence organization, known as the SRG, was responsible for executing confidential operations that had the potential to damage the reputation of the LSF if exposed. Their activities primarily involved late-night kidnappings and high-profile target ambushes. Operating in secrecy, the SRG cautiously moved through alleys and slums, avoiding any open displays of their presence. Since the outbreak of the conflict in 1964, the SRG engaged in a range of operations, including multiple drive-by incidents involving the PAF and PAG. The SRG consisted of highly skilled operatives who remained unidentified and undisclosed regarding their superiors and chain of command. Following the conclusion of the Unders, a survey conducted in 1977 revealed that approximately 40% of Lansling's population were completely unaware of the SRG's existence. Limited information was available for those who did possess knowledge about the organization. However, an individual who claimed to have been a former ASG operative suggested that the SRG operated under a strict code of silence.
