The Arak Guard

The Arak Guard is the elite troops of the Republic of Yoitsu who serve as the core of the Republic's army. They also act as elite guards overseas, most notably of the Shogun of the Taiyo Shogunate.

They are highly proficient in pole arms, especially pole hammers, poleaxes, or pikes which are also their most common weapons. Their armour and weapons are made of Yoitsu's renowned "Yoitsuan steel" that gives them an edge over other similar unit formations.

Service Overseas
They are currently employed by Shogun Taiyo Yoshinobu, serving as his personal bodyguard and occasionally drillmasters of the Shogun's most loyal and elite retainers. The design of their armor along with their weaponry makes them stand out immensely in the Shogunate's forces, but allows the shogunate to observe and adapt to different styles of warfare
