Sky People/Guard

Among the various human factions on the ground and in space, several groups have established members of the Guard for military use, protection, peace-keeping, and law enforcement.

The Guard
The Ark Guard, Camp Jaha Guard, or Arkadia Guard maintained security on the Ark and later at Arkadia once the Sky People arrived on Earth. On the Ark, the Guard was in charge of surprise inspections of the Sky People's living quarters and were commonly seen working in law enforcement and providing protection. They also performed the duties of executioner when pushing the button to float Sky People charged with capital crimes. During Council meetings, Ark Guards stand watch and await orders by Council members. Guard Cadets are responsible for chaperoning public gatherings such as dances. On the Ground, the Guard goes out on scouting missions and accompanies Sky People outside the safety of Arkadia. Once the alliance between the Grounders and Sky People was established, the Guard worked alongside the Grounder warriors during the War Against Mount Weather, providing technology they lacked such as medicine, firearms, bombs, and tone generators.

Bellamy's Militia
"The real guard will be here soon unless we stop it. You don't actually think they're gonna forgive your crimes. Even if they do, then what? Guys like us, we're gonna become model citizens now; get jobs, if we're lucky? Maybe pick up their trash?"

- Bellamy Blake to the Delinquents

Bellamy's Militia, sometimes referred to as Gunners, are the group of Delinquents who followed Bellamy Blake's orders throughout the first season. Originally, John Murphy started to form a gang when they arrived on Earth. After Bellamy found out that the Ark might be coming down and he would be charged for his crimes, he took over Murphy's gang and made himself the leader. They soon picked up the phrase "whatever the hell we want," though this phrase stopped being used after the Delinquents realized they would need rules to survive. Once Bellamy and Clarke Griffin brought back guns, many of these people became one of the twenty Gunners trained on using the guns and were the first line of defense against the Grounders during The Woods Clan-Sky People Conflict.
