UN Peacekeepers monitor and observe peace processes in post-conflict areas and assist ex-combatants in implementing the peace agreements they may have signed. Such assistance comes in many forms, including confidence-building measures, power-sharing arrangements, electoral support, strengthening the rule of law, and economic and social development. Accordingly UN peacekeepers (often referred to as Blue Berets because of their light blue berets or helmets) are an infantry force, equitable to the United States Army of the 21st century. The United Nations Charter gives the United Nations Security Council the power and responsibility to take collective action to maintain international peace and security. For this reason, the international community usually looks to the Security Council to authorize peacekeeping operations. Most of these operations are established and implemented by the United Nations itself, with troops serving under UN operational control. In these cases, peacekeepers remain members of their respective armed forces, and constitute an independent UN army, as when humanity expanded into the stars, the Outer space treaty of 1967 had become void. (Circa 2069, the Iranian Holy wars.) As an infantry force, UN peacekeepers are garrisoned on or above above a planet for defense and engineering purposes (as many peacekeeper MOSs are based around engineering.) Peacekeepers are issued AK-12 -B varient rifles, and slightly bulkier armor than that of the Marine corps, but rarely is a Peacekeeper unit ever seen using a powered exoskeleton.
