Civil War

Two sides of the same thing

fighting.

 

A Recurrant Theme

Everywhere it seems.

Constant.

 

That's right. . .

Civil War. We were discussing Civil War.

 

Let Me See. . .

Where was I ?

 

Faction Seven: The Royal Army In Exile (4)

Scout-Forager, Princess Thanaba's Fusiliers.

 

Faction Seven: The Royal Army In Exile (3)

Faction Seven: The Royal Army In Exile (2)

Rifleman with the Duke of Tapika's Household Guard during the ill-fated attack along the causeway, day four. The Battle of Gerst Landing, 963.

Note the distinctive drum magazine on this soldier's Type 214 rifle, almost certainly of Arbuti design from the armory at Wellspring.

The Royal Court bought a good deal of small arms under contract in Arbutus, likely extending their welcome through their business dealings even after the assassinations in 972.

Faction Seven: The Royal Army In Exile

Seven: The Royal Army.

When His Majesty Delvar II fled the Hunchbacks and went into exile you can believe he had every intention of returning, and bringing Kalkovac back under the lazy-eyed stewardship of the Domestice Family.

 

By planting season of 957 the remnants of the Royal Army, including many rather excellent units, are launching raids from Arbutus and the King begins to entertain whatever diplomatic channels he can open.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Faction Six: The Amalgam Divisions (6)

Verso.

 

Faction Six: The Amalgam Divisions (5)

Depicted- another Volunteer under the Rezik command in the fighting for the mountain passes around Mettia Harbor.

Note the combat shotgun and improvised uniform, both quite typical of these formations.

Faction Six: The Amalgam Divisions (4)

Certainly the soldier's weapon, an advanced fission technology (AFT) rifle, would have been captured on the battlefield from an opposing force with much greater resources than the Amalgam Divisions.

His unusual helmet is of an unknown tribal design and function, and probably denotes the position and responsibility inherent with carrying such a priceless and powerful relic weapon.

Faction Six: The Amalgam Divisions (3)

AD irregular with the Rezik Volunteers.

For centuries the Amalgam have participated in every aspect of Kalkovac society, and the ranks of the AD would include a large number of regimental veterans from off-planet deployment with the 302nd.

  

Faction Six: The Amalgam Divisions (2)

Pulba (2nd Class) with Number 8 Division, Amalgam Command.

In the Earon Sphere. Shortly before the first assault on Velikuka, outside the Courthouse. 

Late season, 986.

Faction Six: The Amalgam Divisions

Six: these Divisions were formed from the indigenous population of the Amalgam peoples, a minority sect that has co-existed more or less peacefully on Kalkovac for several millenia.

There have been a long standing list of grievances that remain unaddressed for the Amalgam by their own estimation. Though poorly equipped and self-funded they are apt at civil war and stayed in the conflict through the end. 

Even now, some thirteen years after the armistice(s), there are significant units in the Stall Ranges that are holding out and refuse to capitulate.

Faction Five: The Hunchbacks (3)

Their followers seemed to just appear

thin air.
