Warhammer 40000, where even the nuns get flamethrowers.

The Squad, with about four liters of estrogen added, and little to no loss in testosterone. Alternately, the Lovely Angels after a recruitment drive.

The Amazon Brigade is an elite fighting unit, often the best of the best or damn near close to it, that is composed entirely of women. This being about fiction, they're usually at least moderately attractive. Naturally, they should never be underestimated, for they can and will kick your ass, potentially easily.

Common with Humongous Mecha anime, and Science Fiction in general, especially if they use fightercraft in their universe. Occasionally show up in Fantasy works as well, usually as the personal guard of a wealthy and powerful ruler.

In a Bishoujo series, they are probably the main characters, their existence in this case due to the Pink Bishoujo Ghetto policy. May include The One Guy for good measure.

Not to be confused with Estrogen Brigade.

Contrast The Smurfette Principle. If the Brigade is composed of Mauve Shirts, they are also known as The Shrike Team.
