History Main / AmazonBrigade

* The AMP in ''SilentMoebius''

* ''MetalGearSolid4'' has ''two'' {{Amazon Brigade}}s: the Beauty & The Beast Corps, a quartet of {{Power Armor}}ed {{Super Soldier}}s with PTSD, serving as the QuirkyMinibossSquad (for a given value of "quirky"), and the FROGS, Ocelot's personal EliteMooks in full power armor who are several steps above the regular troops he rents out.

* ''PrettyCure'' is always either this or LovelyAngels. ''FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'', notably, featured a four-woman AmazonBrigade made of two pairs of LovelyAngels.

* The Longwing dragon captains in the ''{{Temeraire}}'' series could be a sort of AmazonBrigade - Longwings almost exclusively select female captains (it is implied that on occasion one will accept a male grudgingly, but none have been shown yet).

* The three main members of ''CharliesAngels'', in either the TV series or the movies.

* One episode of ''Series/StargateAtlantis'' featured an AmazonBrigade providing most of the muscle. Colonel Sheppard and Dr. Beckett were thoroughly delighted to be working with them.

** Additionally, a field squad composed of a female Commander Shepard and any two of Ashley Williams, Tali'Zorah nar Rayya, or Liara T'Soni also qualifies as an AmazonBrigade, particularly at higher levels. And in the sequel, Female Shepard with Jack, Kasumi Goto, Miranda Lawson, Samara, Tali, [[spoiler:Morinth]], and Liara T'Soni (in DLC) counts.

** In ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'', should you refuse to recruit Garrus, [[spoiler: kill Wrex and sacrifice Kaidan on Virmire]] as a Femshep, an AmazonBrigade squad will be your only option.

* ''Videogame/{{Sakura Wars}}''. This is the entire point of this DatingSim / TacticalRPG series. With a dash of ThatOneGuy thrown in as your player avatar (Ogami in the first four games, and Shinjiro in the fifth game.) Your party's effectiveness in battle is dependent on how strong your bonds with your AmazonBrigade are... in addition to how well they get along with one another.
* From the same development team, ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles'' also allows you to form an AmazonBrigade led by ThatOneGuy, Welkin.

* Haven's Guard in ''{{Earthsong}}'' form an AmazonBrigade, including TheOneGuy, Zaebos. And one Hermaphrodite Tengu...

* Illyra, Elysia, and Occela form the basis of a budding AmazonBrigade in ''RumorsOfWar''. Given that the setting is based on GreekMythology, ''one or more of them may actually be Amazons.''

* Team Kimba of the WhateleyUniverse is really close, considering that their one 'boy' was born a girl named Hannah. The Whateley Academy Martial Arts Cheerleaders are all-girl but not tough enough to be a true AmazonBrigade.

* In the LarryNiven novel ''The Integral Trees'', the Triune Squads are made up of [[CelibateHero women who refuse to marry]], women who [[HideYourLesbians love women]], or those who are [[GenderBender "women" by courtesy only]]. They are sent to patrol the Trunk, a hazardous and seemingly pointless duty, to make up for not doing their "real" duty to the tribe [[StayInTheKitchen by providing children]].

* In ''TheStainlessSteelRat's Revenge'' Special Corps agent James Bolivar "Slippery Jim" [=DiGriz=] lands on a planet once run by women (until they were usurped by a male revolutionary party working in cahoots with galactic invaders). He teams up with the resistance – former members of the military who are of course fit, shapely young amazons – much to the annoyance of Jim's lethally-armed and dangerous wife.

* David Weber's ''[[TheWarGods WarGod]]'' series has a couple of different examples. The most detailed example are the Sothoii War Maids. Free towns administered by women in the very patriarchal Sothoii society they are required to supply levies in times of war under the Kingdom's feudal military structure and by tradition they field all female fighting forces. Considered outcasts by Sothoii society as a whole but supported strongly by the Wind Riders, the elite of the Sothoii military.
* ''[[Literature/CarrerasLegions The Amazon Legion]]'' focuses on one of these.

* Much like in UrsulaVernon's webcomic ''Webcomic/{{Digger}}'', her ''Literature/BlackDogs'' series contains a race of matriarchal hyena people. Their appearance is more brief and their role much less pivotal, but from what is seen of them, their warriors and hunters are all female. It is also observed by the protagonist that the females are larger and more physically intimidating than the males.

* ''VideoGame/MassEffect'' - The asari are a OneGenderRace of women, and due to their extremely long lifespans (upwards of a thousand years) asari commandos train for a hundred years before they go on active duty. In addition, the asari are also natural [[MindOverMatter biotics]]. The warrior turian race (where military service is the entire society and military service is directly responsible for citizenship) have a saying: "The asari huntresses are the best warriors in the galaxy. It's a good thing there aren't that many of them."

*** And in the third game, Female Shepard with Ashley, Tali, Liara and [[spoiler:EDI]], or the Omega DLC squadmates.

* ''Pinball/{{Hercules}}'' has six of these in the upper-right corner of the playfield, complete with spears, {{Fur Bikini}}s, {{Sideboob}}s, and [[NippleAndDimed Amazonian pasties]].

** FireEmblemAkaneia: Palla, Catria and Est.
** FireemblemJugdral: Mahnya, Ferry, Deetvar and Pamela aka the Angelic Knights of Silessa (first generation, and actually Deetvar and Pamela are ''enemy units'' [[spoiler: and Mahnya ''dies'']]); also Maybell, Meng and Bleg (second generation, another villainous example)
** FireEmblemElibe: Shanna, Thite and Juno (''Sword of Seals''); Florina, Fiora and Farina (''Blazing Sword'')
** FireEmblemTheSacredStones: Vanessa, Tana and Syrene.
** FireEmblemTellius: Tanith, Sigrun and Marcia.
** FireEmblemAwakening: Cordelia, Sumia and Cynthia. Unusual since [[spoiler: Cynthia is actually Sumia's KidFromTheFuture]]. Optionally, you can reclass some female characters as Pegasus Knights [[spoiler: and get others via DLC]].

* Pegasus Knight armies in the various ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' games.

* Before that came the Zero Girls of ''TaiyouSentaiSunVulcan''.

* In ''Sewer, Gas & Electric'', a female Royal Navy officer averted an assassination attempt and, in return, asked Queen Elizabeth II for command of a submarine. When the navy brass told Her Majesty that having a woman take charge of a sub was unthinkable due to conditions on board, Her Majesty got peeved; four years later, the H.M.S. ''City of Women'' was launched with an all-female crew.

* Although the Valkyries of Norse Mythology were primarily focused on collecting the dead, there were plenty of attestations of the female bands fearlessly engaging in battle.

* Any naginata unit in Kessen III.

* The Amazons of ''[[http://amazoness.co.uk Amazoness!]]'' To be expected, since their [[LadyLand whole population is female.]]

* The White Tights of urban legend, a group of blonde, [[WomanInWhite white-clad]] [[ColdSniper sniper]] women with a hate-on for the Russians. Allegedly formed of women from Eastern European countries such as Estonia and Latvia, where hating Russia is a national pastime. According to rumors, they fought in Chechnya on the Separatist side.

* There were three all-female combat Soviet Air Force units in WorldWarTwo, which together flew a total of 30,000 combat sorties, produced 30 Heroes of the Soviet Union (the highest honour available) and 2 fighter aces (the only recorded female aces in history). The most famous of these was the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, nicknamed the Night Witches by the Germans. Not only did they fly over 23,000 sorties and is said to have dropped 3,000 tons of bombs, it was also the most highly-decorated unit in the Soviet Air Force at the time, receiving 23 Heroes of the Soviet Union awards. Not only that, they flew horrifically [[SchizoTech out of date]], wood and canvas bi-plane bombers originally constructed for training and crop dusting - and these planes proved excellently suited for precision night bombing, the reason this regiment was called Night Witches. Weak engine means a quiet engine, plane designed for trainees must have a low stalling speed, reducing noise even more, and low speed gives you an excellent bombing accuracy.

* In keeping with the base canon, ArmoredCore + MuvLuvAlternative crossover fic ''FanFic/ProjectIgnition'', all of the Lynx who are actually affiliated (Not Independents, Not Torus, and not Aldra) with the Interior Union are female. A special note goes out to Kagami, Lunaterisa, and Aerilynn, who are generally known as "[[TheNotableNumeral The Three Valkyries]]", who are an elite squad piloting stolen SuperPrototype.

** The Sister of Silence in the HorusHeresy books may have been the precursor to the Sisters of Battle, but they had a signifigant difffernce between them and their ancestors- they were composed entirely of [[AntiMagic Blanks]].
*** They're still around in the 41st Millenium, but they crew the Inquisition's Black Ships and manage rogue psykers rather than engage in direct combat.

* The Build Angels from ''Koutetsushin Jeeg'', a {{Revival}} of GoNagai's ''KotetsuJeeg''.

* If we're counting nonhumans, bees. The nonbreeding female workers sacrifice their lives with a sting, so that the vital queen and her male consorts can survive.
** To elaborate on the subject of a bee's sting, death after stinging only really applies to honeybees that attempt to sting mammals, as their heavily-barbed stingers tend to get stuck in their skin. Attempting to pull out the stinger results in the death of the honeybee as part of their stomach and digestive tract is attached to it.

* The Airmaidens, the elite personal squadron of Valkyrie in ''{{Airboy}}''.

* The White Tights of urban legend, a group of blonde, white-clad [[ColdSniper sniper]] women with a hate-on for the Russians. Allegedly formed of women from Eastern European countries such as Estonia and Latvia, where hating Russia is a national pastime. According to rumors, they fought in Chechnya on the Separatist side.

* The Mirage squadron in ''Fanfic/AceCombatTheEquestrianWar''.

* ''[[Literature/LandofOz The Marvelous Land of Oz]]'' features Jinjur's army. A [[LaResistance revolutionary army]] composed entirely of young girls dressed in World War 1 era uniforms. This being one of the Oz books, they're about as deadly of a fighting force as a kindle of kittens. [[spoiler: Once [[PrincessClassic Ozma]] and Glinda the Good Witch appear, they promptly apologize for having revolted and join Oz's, previously unmentioned, all girl army]].
