NSF

The Japanese Interior Ministry's National Security Force (NSF) is a playable faction in Neotokyoº, more specificaly the elements from Group Six. Being a branch created by the Prime Minister after a failed first coup attempt to the Japanese government, they exist in order to prevent and/or suppress a second. In-game they are usually in hot pursuit of rogue GSDF rogue element Jinrai.

Background
While Group Six in particular is one of the playable forces in the game, they're usually simply reffered to as the NSF. They are a branch created after the first failed coup attempt, happening relatively shortly before the events of the game, with the sole objective of upholding and protecting the Japanese Constitution, which they are sworn to protect; they respond to no one but the Prime Minister himself. However, in the troubled times the nation is going through, this isn't always such an easy task.

The first coup was terribly close to succeeding, and rumors of a second major threat are already circulating within the security community - namely those of a rogue GSDF element. Further aggravating the rumors is the fact that the said element is a Special Operations Group, SOG43 "Jinrai", outspoken patriots and fully equipped with all the right tools for a second uprising. In an effort to keep the situation from spilling onto the public, Group Six is deployed in a covert war with the Jinrai to ensure national stability.

Appearance
The NSF make use of a blue and grey color scheme. Recon units make use of light ballistic vests that extend down as groin and hipguards, blue uniforms, metallic shoulderguards and buckle boots. Unlike their Jinrai counterparts, they usually use nothing to conceal their face; they may utilize some form of optic enhancement however.

Assault units use a bulkier ballistic vest with included neck guard, their uniforms padded on the elbows and knees; they wear different styles of balaclavas, usually in black or blue to match the uniform, and most all wear some form of optical enhancement, from lighter goggles to heavier masks and visors all wear metallic boots.

Support units have a much bulkier, thicker ballistic vest and a similar layer around their upper legs; they use the same metallic boots as the Assault units, and have an extra groin guard. They have what seems to be ceramic armor around their forearms, and grey gloves like all NSF units. They usually deploy with heavy optical visors and mouthpieces, or metal faceplate masks.
