The '''Peace Brigade''' is a paramilitary force of the Republic of [[Corumm]], formed in 1995 as a shock unit at the initiative of [[Prib Dodd]] and staffed almost exclusively by Corummese Muslims. It is under the command of the [[Bureau of State Protection]]. While called a brigade its combat strength is much closer to a regular division. Since its formation it has participated in all of Corumm's wars, serving not only as a combat unit but also as a psychological tool to discourage resistance and is one of the most prominent symbols of Corummese terror. | |||

The origins of the Peace Brigade lie with the leftist unrest of the 90's in the western regions and the use of gangs of undocumented Rusanis by Party officials to break up protests and terrorize dissidents. A system of patronage developed between these gangs and local Party bosses who employed them as hired muscle to help them advance their business interests or resolve local disputes through shocking violence. Eventually the central government came to object to the existence of such private fiefdoms and correspondent miniature armies. The [[Bureau of State Protection]] then under the control of [[Prib Dodd]] proceeded to disarm the gangs and conscripted its members into a new unified force. The Peace Brigade has been extensively deployed in combat as part of the '''Army of Conquest''' during the Republic's wars in North Crona. Unconfirmed reports point to it as one of the units most responsible for committing extensive war crimes and abuses. | The origins of the Peace Brigade lie with the leftist unrest of the 90's in the western regions and the use of gangs of undocumented Rusanis by Party officials to break up protests and terrorize dissidents.
