M42 Hyougara

The M42 "Hyougara" is a camouflage pattern currently in service with the military and security forces of the Genji Empire. The name derives from the identical appearance to former-Yugoslav lizard patterns that were commonly associated to the Bosnian Serb forces of Republika Srpska and in particular the Garda Panteri. The nickname was given by Serb volunteers that fought alongside Genji units in Eastern Ukraine, and has stuck with Genji soldiers since as comparisons to the heroes of the war.

Development
The M42 Hyougara was adopted after the Genji intervention in Syria. The shades used in the initial, and widely used version are based on the mountainous flora in Syria. The pattern was eventually used in different shades for different terrains including deserts, jungles and steppes.

The Arbites of the Genji Empire utilise blue versions of the camouflage.

Design
The M42 Hyougara is designed with three shades of horizontal stripes. The prints overlap each other.

Production
The majority of the M42 Hyougara is produced in the manufactoriums of the Genji Empire. It's rate of production are unparalleled by the innumerable textile industry. The pattern is printed on the Momen cotton, and used not only in uniforms, but also in survival gears such as bags and tents. A manufactorium in Amakusa also produces the pattern for localised re-supplies.

Licensed copies are produced in allied countries equip their own armed forces.
