Description
Queendom Sheeba is unique as perhaps it the only Monarchy that adopted Matriach system. The influence of this system showed in Crimson Rose Brigade (CRB), the queen elite bodyguard unit, that consisted entirely by females.

Crimson Rose Brigade dates back at late 15th century, when the first queen formed an all-female archer unit, tasked solely in protecting royal families. By first 16th century, this same unit upgraded to a full cavalry unit by Queen Shcazarde, and given 'Crimson Rose Cavalry' title, and later fought valiantly defending royal families during Asvall Tribe Uprising at 1560s. By successing queens, this unit keep upgraded, and was the first unit in Sheeba Army that receive firearms.

This unit still retained well until 20th century, even served in War World II in allied cause, which this unit finally reorganized into brigade, consisting no less than 5000 volunteers. However, as the war ends, the brigade combat role slowly reduced, and by 1967, Crimson Rose Brigade effectively only assigned to ceremonial role as well as Royal Family and Palace protection role.

However, this change of role not affecting in their quality as combatant. In fact, with this new role the enlistment become even tighter (it said from 1000 volunteer, only twenty or less accepted), and training standart even higher than before. In 1980, CRB even send several officer to various counter-terorist and HRT unit such GSG 9 and GIGN for study.

In this picture we can an example of CRB outfit. As opposed as the look, this is CRB standart field combat dress. The outfit consist of single breasted gray-blue tunic, with crimson lining in pocket and front-fly cover. The crimson tie also seen here hanging around neck. Headgear consist of sidecap, complete with crimson sunguard at back. The most striking feature is iron shoulder pad which cover the left arm. This shoulder pad usually wear by operative tasked with assault. No insignia or rank marking present, as brigade commonly discouraged such practice for equality sake.

To complete with classical theme, the arnament is AM-89M, a local-made modernized Stg-44 Assault rifle chambered with russian 7.62x39 mm. While looked ungainly, this weapon has proved robust, accurate, and dependable thorough its career in post-war queen's army. Canvas magazine pouch can be seen at left hip, holding three 30-round magazines.
