Revision as of 20:01, 11 March 2008 by Serenity (talk | contribs) (→‎Notes: They are called "Browncoats" in Firefly. And those are rebels, whereas the alliance uniforms are inspired by German WWII uniforms. So this makes no sense)

"Blackshirt" is a derrogatory term for Council Security. (Greetings from Earth). It is akin to the use of the word "pig" to describe a civilian officer of the law.

Notes

  • In the real world, the term "Blackshirt" was used for paramilitaries supporting Mussolini's fascist regime. Cf. also "Redcoat".
  • The term may also be inspired by the Nazis' Stormtroops (SA), which were called "brownshirts" because of their brown uniforms.
