Shivers
“Street and Home Investigation, Variable Espionage and Reconnaissance”
The Shivers are the main police for SLA Industries. They are common on Mort and can be found in many other
planets in the World of Progress. While
not as well equipped or as highly trained as Operatives, they are still a
dangerous force to be reckoned with and stand high above the normal civilians
that they protect and police.
Their bright, green armour marks these people out as targets for many of
the less stable residents of Mort and being a Shiver is a thankless task at the
best of time. Despised by
civilians, except when they are in trouble or want to report a crime, and looked
down on by the Operatives that they should be working with, many Shivers are
dissatisfied with their situation.
The
favoured weapon of most Shivers is the BrowBeater rifle.
This weapon will fire a barrage of plastic pellets and is, in theory,
non-lethal. Very effective for
crowd control or riot dispersal, this weapon does however lack the heavy
fire-power that is sometimes necessary in their duties.
The
Shiver APC “Armoured Personnel Carrier” is a fearsome vehicle, heavily
armoured and armed with large spotlight and often carrying water-cannons.
They are a common sight in the streets of Suburbia and Downtown Mort and
are feared by criminal of all kinds.
