OLD DOMINION
Armoring/Uniforms: Typically heavy robes with vests buckled atop them, along with half-helmets -- flags are quite common, and a variety of disturbing imagery (such as incredibly graphic murals on vehicles, and even shields) is commonplace. Intimidation plays a major role in the appearance of Old Dominion soldiers.
Weaponry: Soldiers exclusively use the M16A2 rifle due to it's prominent availability; also very 'symbolic' tools, such as nearly unwieldy revolvers not really intended for combat, used mostly for ceremony (and executions). Swords and sabres are also quite common, as well as the use of shields.
PILLAR OF SALT
Armoring/Uniforms: Incredibly varied. Often includes 'mockery' of Old Dominion clothing, though often has one factor in common -- members make a point to dress exclusively in red.
Weaponry: Incredibly varied, but tends to be low tech in nature. Often found carrying M16A2 rifles taken from Old Dominion soldiers. Small caliber SMGs are also quite popular. Pistols tend to be avoided.
NOBLE FAMILY
Armoring/Uniforms: Suits and ties with light body armoring. Furres are very well-kempt and professional. If the furre is not in the usual attire, they will have no visable weapons and easily blend in with the average civilian.
Weaponry: High-tech pistols and an assortment of tools and 'gadgets' are not uncommon. Often, weapons are compact enough to be hidden.
MORELLI FAMILY
Armoring/Uniforms: Everything from suits and ties to plain clothes thugs, often with light to heavy body armoring. They make no effort to hide the fact they are criminals, and clothing will vary from suits and ties to wild, outlandish clothing. Variety of piercings and tattoos are common.
Weaponry: Wildly varied, ranging from unusual and characteristic pistols to SMGS to shotguns. Everything from assault rifles to baseball bats would not be uncommon.
TANTRA ELEMENT
Armoring/Uniforms: Exclusive. Black and yellow uniforms are distributed, often with very light body armoring beneath.
Weaponry: Typical civilian fare. Compact carry pistols of varied calibers. A variety of melee weapons are also commonplace.
MERCANTILE COLLECTIVE
Armoring/Uniform: Impossible to categorize. The only uniting factor is often just a badge or patch applied to whatever that particular furre choses to wear -- often times light armoring and plain civilian clothes.
Weaponry: Impossible to categorize, though characteristic pistols (vintage, highly modified, rare, etc.) seem to be common -- though everything up to high-caliber machine guns would not be uncommon.
BLACKMORNING RUST
Armoring/Uniform: Exclusive full-body black and brown hazmat suits, with heavy and complex armor set atop -- including full-face helmets and rebreathing masks.
Weaponry: Well beyond civilian and paramilitary. High-caliber assault rifles, sniper rifles and machine guns, often featuring some kind of integration with their own body armoring.
CIVIL RECLAMATION DIRECTORATE
Armoring/Uniform: Impossible to categorize. CRD members range from ex-police officers to military veterans to anybody that feels that can stand up to protect their city, really -- however, prominent members in the community are often seen with suits and ties, bearing CRD markings. Armor is fairly uncommon.
Weaponry: Impossible to categorize, though often low-class civilian weaponry -- low class pistols, hunting rifles, shotguns and SMGs, typical "pawn shop" fare. More prominent members, such as ex-military, will utilize access to paramilitary weaponry.
UNITED16
Armoring/Uniform: Very difficult to categorize -- ranges from designer 'thug' clothing lines (baggy clothing, ballcaps, matched gang colors) to whatever the less fortune furres can afford to cover themselves with. Patches are usually unnecessary, as most of the United16 face as much civil conflict as they do from the outside world in the crime-filled slums -- gang colors are used more often to identify.
Weaponry: Often times, whatever can easily be concealed -- high-caliber pistols are very common, as well as an assortment of knives and other makeshift weaponry. The AK-47 is also another prominent weapon, due to it's availability.
THE PRESS UNION
Armoring/Uniform: Often varies, though all members are required to have their press badges visable. All members are issued official "PRESS" jackets and are urged to wear them, especially in combat zones, though many do not -- more easily recognized by an abundance of audio/video equipment in tow.
Weaponry: "Forbidden," though some will carry low-caliber pistols or whatever else they can manage, strictly for self-defense.

THE KONIG UNITED
Armoring/Uniform: White and green parade dress with typically solid-color (neutral tones) combat dress BDUs and half-head helmets. Inter-squad communication is crucial, and helmet feature headsets -- sometimes even featuring visors with HUD displays for monitoring other team members. Complex ranking systems exist. Soldiers are usually readily identifiable on first glance.
Weaponry: Strictly military weaponry. High-caliber weapons.
THETA
Armoring/Uniform: Black and red parade dress with varied camouflage combat dress BDUs and half-head helmets, often with half-face cold weather masks. Helmets often feature headsets and communication devices. Complex ranking systems exist. Soldiers are -always- identifiable on first glance.
Weaponry: Strictly military weaponry. Due to budgeting, this often results in mid-grade, common assault rifles.
THETAN CIVIL FACTION
Armoring/Uniform: Varied. As no parade dress exists, soldiers often end up looking very similar to actual Thetan soldiers in camouflage combat dress -- or whatever else is available for a squad. Individual squad dress and communication methods vary greatly. A generally simple ranking system exists. Soldiers resemble guerilla fighters in appearance.
Weaponry: A widely varied assortment of low to mid grade military weaponry, often modified as restrictions do not exist.
