Overview

The Civilian Guidance Corps (CGC), also known as the "Friendly Persuaders", is the civilian police force of worlds within the Draconis Combine. It was also described as a local constabulary.[1] At least on the world of Kawabe they are under oath to serve the local Prefect.[2]

They are a branch of the Combine's Ministry of Peaceful Order and Honor (Kakun, Ministry of Justice).[3] They wear bright, red (or pink)-and-white "candy striped" uniforms specifically to be highly visible, and thus possibly deter troublemakers through their presence.[4][1]

Although typically armed with non-lethal weapons such as standard-issue police stunners,[4] they can also carry lethal weapons up to PoliceMechs. The CGC can deploy as Heavy Riot Infantry.[5]

As of 3028, the CGC on An Ting had sixteen 'Mechs including at least one GS-54 Guard.[6]
