The Sekiseigumi act as the police force of Kugane. In Hingashi society, one's place in their rigid caste system is decided and inherited at birth, and many view the Sekiseigumi as an opportunity to better their life. Many who enter into the Sekiseigumi become Samurai in the hopes to further improve the lives of their family or change the system. They are reliant on receiving money from the Bakufu, and are often stretched thin as the money provided is never plentiful.
The Sekiseigumi are notorious for being ruthless against those who would disturb the peace. if an Ijin-or foreigner- go against the rules of Kugane, they are punished severely, or are even executed. The nature of these arrests are often dubious in nature, and some members of the Sekiseigumi are known to abuse their authority. One such story tells of a forign merchant laying his hands upon a Hingan aristocrat and was immediately cut down.
While their chosen weapon is the Katana or Lance, the Sekiseigumi are also known to employ less elegant weapons, such as massive war axes for disposing of barricades, or concealed daggers for assassination missions.
The Sekiseigumi were almost certainly modeled on the real life Shinsengumi of Japan's Tokugawa Shogunate period.
