 With time though, the fast and loose approach to accountability and growing corruption from deep relationships lead EAD into being twisted away from its original intentions, with some of the EAD Commanders ordering troops to attack political or personal targets, disguising the missions by fabricating evidence. When the scandals came to light, the bulk of EAD's personnel was suspended pending trials and investigation, and all assets were mothballed or redistributed to other units. The spiritual successor to EAD in terms of skill level and scope is RACCA. With time though, the fast and loose approach to accountability and growing corruption from deep relationships lead EAD into being twisted away from its original intentions, with some of the EAD Commanders ordering troops to attack political or personal targets, disguising the missions by fabricating evidence.

 ==== Vehicles ==== ==== Vehicles ====
  
-==== Space Ships ====+  * **Picket Jeep** - A diesel fuelled off-roader jeep suited to the outdoors. A low centre of gravity ensures the vehicle won't roll on tight turns. They make excellent reconnaissance or scout vehicles, and are capable of mounting a machine gun, but lack armour. 
 +  * **Palisade Armoured Transport** - A six wheeled, heavy-framed urban response vehicle with a light autocannon mounted to the top. Performs admirably off-road as well, and can carry eight troops in the back with a driver and a gunner. Also great for cargo. 
 + 
 +==== Spacecraft ==== 
 + 
 +  * **Space Patrol Fantail** - The lightest of the UDD's space presence, this combat-ruggedised [[spacecraft/fantail]] uses its cargo space for an enlarged sensor supercomputer, expanded powerplant, hotter running power distributor and cruise engines, and suitable payload space for the ship's weapons. 
 +    * Fitted with two beam lasers, and an autocannon on a turret mount - all forward facing. 
 +    * Can mount dumbfired rockets or point-defence systems. 
 +    * For how lightly they're armoured and general-purpose they can be, they're not intended to be sent alone or expected to fight - unless in a wing of six or seven and supported with dedicated fighters. 
 +    * Sometimes fitted into ultralight troop transports.
