House Police and Capital Ships

[Zelot]

That's why Police ID holders should still be able to fly gunboats.


None of the Houses are based on Middle-Eastern or African nations so, I don't think that should apply here.

First this is how I see the scale

Fighter=Squadcar

GB=Paddywagon, BombSquad, Swat Van, Light Helocopter, speedboat

Cruiser= Armored Personel Carrier, Helo(with Guns), Motorized Battering Ram

Scout Tank

Battleship= Main Tank, Mobile Artiliry, Gunships, Jets, Bombers,Naval Battleships



As to the decent point....The German police have some really badass equiptment, as does the LAPD, NYPD, British, and Israeli police. All big cities in the US have heavy equiptment, they don't use it much, mainly for large events or major incedents. During the 2000 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia, the Philadelphia police department used 3 light tanks and several armoured personnel carriers, as well as many helocopters. Officers had heavy assualt rifles and armour. This is just one example. Aside for that, I think that it is a false assumption to assume that the Governemnts that exist in Siruis are exactly the same as those that were on earth. These governemnts went through a hard time leaving Earth and getting set-up in Sirius. They have had to adapt to a harsher existance, and as on Earth today, the bigger the threat the police have to deal with, the more firepower they use.
