This style represents the standard melee combat training of police officers in Vastellia. Unlike most police services, Vastellian Police uniquely uses superfine edged rapiers (along with their sheaths), all of them custom-fitted to the officer's hands, instead of electric stun wands, making it a very distinctive style.

Training is heavily based on the use-of-force continuum, officers using their presence and verbal commands to make suspects surrender, with non-compliance prompting the use of grappling techniques (with empty hands or a sheathed rapier) in order to apply handcuffs, and the suspect's use of less-lethal force (such as punches or stun guns) prompting the use of electrolasers and strikes with bare hands and sheathed rapiers (converting any cutting or impaling damage to crushing). Lethal force (usually by stabbing and cutting with the rapier) is only permitted if the suspect uses lethal weapons (such as knives, guns, or heavy tools), and it's still preferred to take them alive.

When fighting unarmed, the officer typically tries to grapple the suspect, take them down with a Judo Throw, then disarm them (usually after an Arm Lock) and apply handcuffs. If permitted by the use-of-force continuum, strikes can also be mixed in to subdue the suspect. With a rapier, meanwhile, heavy emphasis is put on disarming suspects or using well-placed strikes to stun or disable limbs, then either transitioning to grappling, or intimidating the suspect into surrender. Teamwork is also heavily emphasized, with officers piling on suspects in order to take them down

Although Vastellia is too small and safe of a country to have much in the way of exaggerations about the local police, some myths still get spread (mainly by foreigners, but also in local movies), such as pressure-point attacks, a spinning rapier strike that disarms every enemy, or a shout for compliance that stops the suspect in their tracks

Tech Thrown Forward

Written with help from Cdru Reading through UT and pyramid articles (Arrow of Progress, in this case) I kind of noticed an interesting problem with UT thrown weapons. The problem is – there’s very-very few of them. Grenades are one thing (and even they are quite limited) – but If one wants to use more “exotic” thrown weapons, their hands are tied. Sonic Shuriken is the only actual throw weapon in Ultra Tech, and its barely on par with any other weapons in its niche (which seems to be some kind of a theme with UT). We have Arrow of Progress for UT Bows, but nothing for thrown weapons! And so, I thought “let’s make some more fun stuff to throw in sci-fi settings”. And so, I did. Here are some thrown weapon options for Ultra-tech!   General Ultra-Tech developments      All of general Ultra-Tech improvements involving targeting aids, can be applied to throw weapons. This means that someone throwing their weapon can get +1 from HUD, +3 from laser rangefinder and +2 from a...

Close Quarters Combat - an MGS inspired style (by CDRU)

Изображение
Here is a style compiled by Cdru based on Metal Gear Solid videogame series.  Close Quarters Combat (CQC) is a style developed by the Boss and her pupil, known back then as Jack, who would go on to become Big Boss. Initially, it was developed from the Boss's WW2 experience with snatch missions that didn't allow killing anybody. Later on, it was developed into a full-fledged style for use in sneaking missions, with Big Boss going on to teach it to his allies and subordinates, including Solid Snake and Ocelot. Although it died off for several years after Solid Snake has killed Big Boss, as the former refused to use or teach it afterwards, and all the other practitioners died or were acting in secrecy afterwards, it was later revived after the files on Operation Snake Eater were declassified, which reignited interest in the style and caused many soldiers to learn it on their own.  The style assumes that the practitioner dual-wields a handgun and a knife (shorter ones being prefer...

The Slicing Strings: Monowire and Martial Arts

    "Okay, I know it's FILTHY RICH coming from me... but your powers are bullshit!"                                         (c)  Alucard, "Hellsing Ultimate Abridged"   Monowire from GURPS Ultra-Tech offers many options in combat, but most of them are either passive (using spools of monowire to set up traps) or don't really use the wire  part, like making a sword out of it. And what published material is there on monowire itself in combat or Martial Arts, puts it at best into a secondary role. Which doesn't really fullfill the "fantasy" of using monowire as a weapon.  You know, things like actively entangling your foe with deadly strands, rapidly placing nets to slow down or even kill opponents - the good stuff. This is were I come in, with new combat options and even martial styles for Monowire. These use Monowire Whip as a core...
