Military of the Avalonian Republic

Military Summary

• Total: 13050 starting units of resources (52.2 points), with 60G remaining.
• Army of the Republic (Ground Forces):
  • 2345G, 2035M, 1110A
  • Upkeep: 130G/122G, 152M
• Avalonian Navy (Air Forces):
  • 4635G, 1215M, 1200A, 18L = 450G
  • Upkeep: 345G, 132M

The new Avalon Republic Armed Forces operates on a mixed doctrine of airship support combined with ground mobility. Because of the lack of mounted units, ground forces utilize transports and skyships for rapid strategic mobility. Tactical mobility is achieved through small formations combined with strider support.
The current military is still in a stage of development and expansion. Since the reform of the military after the Necromatic War, the reformed Army of the Republic has not yet engaged in actual major operations.

In larger operations, special operations units (such as Paragons and Knights) are utilized to support friendly ground formations and disrupt enemy troops. Mages also train closely with ground and naval forces, acting as magical defensive and offensive support, despite not technically being a part of the Armed Forces.

Ground unit design doctrine tends to be focused more on infantry protection and mobility, sacrificing firepower if necessary. Naval design doctrine emphasis speed, armor and firepower, but results in excessively costly ships.

• 1x Odin Guard: 100 men (290G, 570M, 55A; Upkeep 22G, 21M)

Guardian Battalion

• 2x Fire-caster Company

Fire-caster Company: Men of Arms (130G, 95M, 80A; Upkeep 7G, 9M)

Fire-casters form bulk of the Army of the Republic. Heavily armed and armored, these soldiers operate as individual formations and are designed attack the enemy at long range.

• Sidesword (15G)
• Leadcaster: Adamantium Casting (40G, 15M, 55A; Upkeep 2G, 1M)
• Medium Plated Mail: Elven Weave, Enchanted (25G, 50M, 25A; Upkeep 5M)
• Common Magic Book: (5 Books = 25G)

Lightblade Company

• 1x Lightblade Company

Lightblade Company: Knight (455G, 215M, 55A; Upkeep 18/10G, 11M)

Elite soldiers of the Republic, Lightblades are essentially heavier variants of Fire-casters. Unlike Fire-casters, they are effective melee and magical units as well. While capable of being used in conjunction with other troops, they are primarily used for special operations.

• Broadsword: Lightsword (25G, 100M; Upkeep 10M)
• Leadcaster: Adamantium Casting (40G, 15M, 55A; Upkeep 2G, 1M)
• Superheavy Plate: Embodied (100G, 100M; Upkeep 0M (10M Base))

Grayfell Battalion

• 2x Loki Company

Loki Company: Scout Strider (150G, 150M, 100A; Upkeep 10G, 15M)

The treacherous territory that comprises the heart of the Republic made horse-based cavalry impractical. As soon as strider technology came to Avalon, military planners and designers quickly came together to design a general-purpose support design able to provide both mobility and firepower. The Loki scout strider is designed to counter potential cavalry movements and prevent tactical encirclement. The Loki itself is a compromise between firepower, mobility and protection, with emphasis on the latter two aspects. A heavier version of the Loki is currently in development.

• Battleplate: Adamantium (50G, 50A)
• Giant Leadcaster: (75G, 25M; Upkeep 5G, 5M)

Odin Guard

• 1x Odin Company

Odin Company: Paragon (290G, 570M, 55A; Upkeep 22G, 21M)

Especially talented Avalonians, especially those with greater concentrations of divine blood are recruited directly into the Odin Company where they undergo intensive training and are instilled with an instinctive respect for the ideals and laws of the Republic. Rarely found on the front lines, Odin Paragons are technically employed as part of the Royal Guard, defending the Camelot, the Avalonian Imperial Palace. In practice, the Odin company are detached as necessary for any operation acting as special operations forces.

• Longsword: Lightsword (50G, 100M; Upkeep 10M)
• Leadcaster: Adamantium Casting, Explosive Shot (40G, 70M, 55A; Upkeep 2G, 11M)
• Superheavy Plate: Embodied (100G, 100M; Upkeep 0M (10M Base))
• Level of Badass
• Intelligent
