Hold on. The Lydin is in WW 1 tech-level, yet redcoats are still a thing? Like a part of everyday uniform? And should i understand that the city is under a martial law, if the common unrest and homicide are policed by military instead of specialized organs?

The TECH level is WW1. Culturally, it's very much still Victorian era London. Also, no, it's just easier and more thematically appropriate to say 'redcoats,' than it is to say 'anti-gang police.'
