Putting together some SF ground vehicles for ambushes and such: not-Squats with a gray not-Land train on treads, wheeled vehicles in green and (eventually) anti-grav vehicles or GEVs in desert tan. The not-Squat vehicles have Runes with suitable meanings of courage and strength and numerals from an Inuit system created so they wouldn't have to use Arabic numerals. (Identity politics takes some odd turns.)

But what do I do for the others? Thinking possibly an Imperial Aquila for one set, but what else says "we are the law?" And what numerals or letters are available to me that don't scream "this is 2026?"

Fighting Pirannha scream 1980s for BattleTech (as is proper)!

Fighting Piranha has Kanji numbers and Greek letters along with a large selection of generic, CAV and BattleTech related heraldry. Also warning signs, hazard stripes, checks, etc.

You could turn kanji or Chinese characters upside down.
