==Recruitment==
==Recruitment==
The Peace Brigade recruits Muslim males between the ages of 16 to 45. With the exception of the ethnically Corummese upper echelon, 95% of the Peace Brigade members are drawn from the muslim population mostly from Rusani extraction. The active discrimination of non ethnically Corummese citizens and the lack of quality employment opportunities makes joining the brigade a very attractive choice, since it offers a decent salary and social advancement with many families even seeing it as a tradition for its sons to enlist and 'take the Blue'. However the attrition based tactics employed by the Peace Brigade also mean that when losses are too high, it may resort to forcefully conscripting civilians into its ranks, or even illegal immigrants who would otherwise simply be arrested and deported. The patrons of the brigade in the [[Bureau of State Protection]] have cultivated a curious relationship with poor Rusani townships and slums, at times facilitating state funds and aid in exchange for a continued flow of willing warm bodies.

Following the Cronan wars, some cronan muslim converts have also started to be inducted into the unit.
