"A new age has begun. The age of the metas is over. Meta-powers are only for weaklings who had to seek such heretic powers to have success in their lives. It's time of the government to protect their people... Like how the Church did years ago." |
The Department of Unified Protection (abbreviated as D.U.P) is a government agency of the Global Pact Defense and New World Order in LOTM: Sword of Kings. It is an organization created to eliminate and arrest all Meta-Humans and meta-powered users and to label by them as "meta-terrorists" to ensure that the events of Lost Christmas and Downfall of Brazil are not repeated.
The director of the D.U.P is a man named Shiki. The D.U.P recruits soldiers as artificial Meta-Humans officers that have been seen capable of manipulating concrete to capture meta-terrorists.
Overview[]
The D.U.P. was founded by Shiki with the "official" goal of preventing another meta incident like the ones started by Vira Hermes and Revelation of Qliphoth, the near destruction of the world by an extremely powerful Meta-human known as Kanon Rihavein (Heis), by locking up and detaining magicians, renamed meta-humans. In reality, however, Shiki's goal was to prevent another mass slaughter of meta-humans at the hands of humans as he was a sympathetic officer working to an evil tyrant known as Diabla the Qliphoth Tyrant.
Within the first year of service, the D.U.P. had captured over 300 meta-humans "on the rampage." Utilizing the research notes of Travon from Holy Eye of Order, the D.U.P. began employing Forced Meta-Humans as field soldiers by recruiting people from military service who had tested positive for the Magi-Tech gene used Shiki's own Concrete powers as the template after initially considering a wide array of options.
Infantry[]
While nothing compared to STAR LABS of United States of America, the DUP was a formidable enemy.
APC (Armored Personnel Carrier)[]
The D.U.P patrols Seattle in these armored vehicles and will be on the look out for any bioterroists in the act of using their powers. Bioterriosts can avoid confrontation if they keep a low profile. As the situation in America's security becomes more desperate, stronger soldiers are sent to patrol in these vehicles and some may even have an automatic turret mounted to the roof.
Helicopters[]
An attack helicopter will be sent out against any bioterriost that is deemed a large threat. They are also stationed at some of the mobile command centers on the second island of Hawaii in order to defend them. The only attack they are capable of is shooting a number of missiles after acquiring their target.
