Changes: Revolutionary Guard

Revision as of 20:41, 22 May 2019

History

After the sudden disappearance of the ancient Boehleckians in 700 B.S., a group of warriors previously under the thumb of the Boehleckians founded the Revolutionary Guard. Within a few years, their organization had grown to a massive scale and had overthrown the last remnants of the Boehleckians, deciding to form their own empire from the fragments they left behind.

Soon after their revolution was complete, the RG came upon Runhold Fortress, the old capital of the Boehleckain state. They decided that as a final act of defiance against their old oppressors, they would forge their own capital in the remains of Runhold Fortress. By 3 A.S., the RG had fully renovated Runhold Fortress and made it their own. They added new walls, battlements, and other defensive positions. As a final nod to their old culture, they keep flames of the ancient statues that litter the mountainside lit. Eventually, as the RG developed and new technology was created, new defenses began to appear along the mountains and coastlines. Supermassive anti-ship guns, anti-aircraft guns, and giant mechs began to crop up to defend the RG homeland.

As the RG made their home in the Runhold Mountains, they soon became acclimatized to the area, bending the nature of the mountains to their wills. However, they were only able to cultivate small farms, so they had to import a large portion of their food from Jandaria, a small city-state directly south of the Runhold Mountains that soon entered into an alliance with the RG. They soon colonized all of the areas around the mountains, including the high altitude meadows that dot the mountains.

Small mining outposts began to appear along the countryside and with these new mines came many new discoveries. The RG soon discovered ancient Boehleckian temples, libraries, and statues. New discoveries were being made every day but probably the most notable discovery was that of a small rectangle of obsidian, with a shimmering purple center. It was soon discovered that the obsidian structure was, in fact, a dimensional door, leading to a large cavernous space, with oceans of lava. Soon after discovering the portal, scientists were sent through, and the new dimension was dubbed the “nether” by the RG. Within a couple of years, the RG had colonized the nether and had built large fortresses out of the nether stone that the dimension seemed to be made of. A few years later, the SR discovered a portal of their own and soon ventured into the strange new land.

Soon after the discovery of the nether, the RG heard rumors of a third dimension, however, they did not pan out until many years later, in 6 AS. This portal was different, as it was completely horizontal and seemed to open up into an endless void of the night sky. It also became increasingly evident that this was the only one, and if there were more, that they were extremely rare as no more portals have been found to this day. The RG sent scouts through the portal right at the beginning, but have mostly ignored the sky dimension citing its barren nature and lack of strategic resources.

After colonizing their immediate surroundings, the RG began to reach out in search of new lands that they could make their own. However, they soon found that the lands surrounding the Spawn Sea were also being colonized by other peoples. The RG soon introduced themselves and began diplomatic relationships with the people of Suddery, The People's Socialist Republic, Holloria, and Wilstonia. Most of these relations were strained at best for the greater part of their history. The PSU were starkly neutral in almost everything the RG did and the Kingdom of Holoria staged great protests against the RG after the beginning of their military buildup in the Spawn Sea. The RG formed their best bond with the people of Wilstonia, who soon entered into an alliance with the RG. Unfortunately, relations with the Republic of Suddery quickly fell apart, tensions ran exceedingly high in the early years. This was made worse amidst the background of the RG military buildup, which was beginning to worry the Admiralty of the SR. This all came to a head after an incident at Port Tracy in which the RGS Golden Age came very close to the Sudrian Coast. The Suddrians, not knowing what was happening, fired upon the destroyer, which promptly left the area. However, this incident infuriated the leadership of the RG who soon responded by mobilizing their fleet and issuing a formal declaration of war to the republic.

Military

Soon after the downfall of the ancient Boehleckians, the RG took control of everything they could find. However, there was not a lot left to take after the Boehleckain-Southern Sun War. After everything was said and done, the RG only had four small ships in their possession, all of which were small merchant ships. The RG operated on these ships for over 400 years until approximately 300 B.S., when the RG created a new line of ships, the Wing class ships. These ships were small and light and could move with extraordinary speed. These ships, however, did not have a lot of firepower or defense, and could only take a few shots before sinking. Despite these weaknesses, the ships were highly effective against the barbarians that constantly raided the southern coast.

The RG remained with these ships until late 3 A.S., when the planed, created, tested, and unveiled the RGS Tropicale, a new class of ironclad with 3 large guns on the bow of the ship. Many historians say this signaled the beginning of a large scale military buildup on the part of the Revolutionary Guard. Using their massive industry, the RG developed six more classes of ships including the Rhapsody Class destroyers, the Intervention Class cruisers, the Nautilus Class submarines, the Dragon Class aircraft carriers, the Fortress Class battleships, and the Dreadnaught-class battleships, in just a few years. The most recent additions to the navy being four new Dreadnought class ships,

the RGS Starflight, RGS Destiny, RGS Oblivion, and the RGS Obliteration. Each of these ships is equipped with nine triple barreled 400 mm guns, that are capable of disabling or destroying nearly anything that could come within range. The RG currently operates 3 naval bases in the known world. Revolutionary Shipyards located just east of Runhold Fortress, and Bradmond Naval Base in the Southern Ocean are both under the direct control of the Revolutionary Guard. Port Jandaria however, is under the direct control of the people of Jandaira, who are loaning out the docks for RG ships in exchange for partial use of the RGS Intervention.

Along with the massive naval buildup, the RG began to experiment with an air force, designing the R-17 bomber and R-15 fighter. However, only one bomber and two fighters have currently been built, with few more having been commissioned by the RG. The air force currently operates out of the Kerrorgar Forrest AFB, just west of Spawntown.

The land-based branches of the RG military also got an overhaul. Soon after the Revolution-Suddery war ended, RG engineers built a new line of battle tank. These tanks are currently being tested and deployed in the area around the

RG shipyards, so as to keep them out of the way of the civilian population and to provide them with a satisfactory testing ground. The scientists of the Revolutionary Guard also discovered some ancient Boehleckian mechs, giant mechanical statues capable of waging war, which have since been repurposed to defend the empire. One is also currently being reverse engineered in the RG labs so that they may understand it and create more of them. Engineers working on new propulsion methods for the airforce accidentally created a new weapon for the RG. They created a type of missile that has since been deployed to silos around the Runhold Mountains.
