MAKO Airborne Brigade

The MAKO Airborne Brigade is a special combined arms formation meant as a force to conduct fast, high impact missions that are too fast and too high impact to expect out of ordinary infantry but are also of a scale that requires decent numbers of boots to be on the ground. It has reformed into the new face of the MAKO Corps that was practically wiped out by the Myrkliean War. In addition to superb training and a core of Myrkliean War veterans, they are equipped with the experimental Resonant MAKO Armour.

Mobile Armour Brigade

The Mobile Armour Brigade was split off from the main army after the Myrkliean War. It is currently led by Karine Kasaya's protege and adopted daughter, Kasaya Kiriko who pilots Concealed the Conclusion, probably one of the two most powerful mecha in Lost Ground possession. The rest of its order of battle is composed of Argent Armours of ancient Cyclopean make (converted into mecha for human pilots) and the only full size tactical armour Lost Ground has produced that isn't a one or two-shot – the Emerald Armour. There are three companies currently: two fast and one slow. Someday, it is hoped to raise the force into a proper brigade with some supporting infantry and other units.

Special Armour Operations

The SAO platoon is a (plucky?) team of three non-magical girls piloting three decently powerful Atlantean mecha attached to the Mobile Armour Brigade as a special tactical platoon due to them being destructive troublemakers. Due to the original power plants of their mecha being replaced with energist cores, they are able to sustain operations without fuel at a safe distance from any allied support.

High Mobility and Experimental Operations

The High Mobility and Experimental Operations company is a unit administratively attached to the Mobile Armour Battalion that is the entirety of what passes for Lost Ground's tactical aerospace force. Over the years, the unit has done early tests for new prototype armours coming out of Lost Ground's over-the-top design bureaus, keeps the ones nobody else likes, then incrementally modifies them to something resembling standards before attaching boosters.

Myrkliean Regiment

King Stetros lent Lost Ground a large contingent of hill giants in the hopes they could be equipped by the humans given the utter insufficiency of Argentium's fledgling forges. As it turned out, Lost Ground was not in great shape either and has only been able to slap together basic material for their allies. However, adamantium plate and greatswords are still a far cry from the spears and loincloths they would otherwise be fighting with. They form the core of the so-called "Myrkliean Regiment".

To avoid the giants heading into battle alone, they are escorted by human troops that can keep up with their stride. These are Ikarians in Lost Ground's service riding the planet's sole domesticated animal, the moa, and fighting as the Diaspora Cavalry. There is an urban legend that many Ikarians - who now live around Suwa on the Southern Continent - enlist not for the pay but for the gas mask issued to both rider and mount.

DRAGOON Units

In the quest for ultimate power during Lost Ground's age of war, legendary warrior mages sought to remove their souls into bodies of war machines powered by the hearts of dragons. These became the first dragoons. This tradition was experimentally revived by the empire in the present day with the word DRAGOON rendered in all-caps for emphasis and with energist cores largely omitted due to lack of supply. While each unit can interact with people as a human sized avatar, becoming a DRAGOON changes a mage into something she wasn't before.

MAKO Corps Detachment

Only a few hundred MAKO troopers from before the Myrkliean War survived to see its end. A hundred or so formed the hardened core of the new MAKO Airborne Brigade and most of the rest were split into four prestigious special forces companies. These are attached to the regular army on a rotating basis to train with and provide a special operations capability in war.

The Hourai Island Regiment has been all but cut off from Lost Ground for several years. They are totally not just a token force meant to absorb some annoyingly unrounded numbers.

Lost Ground Combined Fleet

The Lost Ground Combined Fleet is a mishmash of components and demonstrates how an unlikely world has gathered different survivor groups into a common cause. Although the five Atlantean Marduk class ships undoubtedly form its core, no portion of it could truly stand alone against their many mutual enemies.

Atlantean Marduk class Battleships

Originally Atlantean fleet escorts, they are more comparable to extremely powerful battleships in this modern age. They are 2km long swordfish shaped ships. Their nose cannon is disabled, being reliant on hyperspace but their korite secondaries are still active.

Marduk class battleship -command type- Zi-Ukkina (TM11 Battleship: 158pp)
(+3) Intelligence
(+1) Aeris Shields
(+3) Atlantean Regeneration
(+1) Aethyr Drive
(+1) AA Azirite Scales
(+2) Violet Beam Cannons
(^3) Atlantean Mages
(x1) Comms

The elder sister among the sisters who has a distant look in her eyes. Like the other Marduks, she cannot truly hide her emotions but seems to have fewer than the others and is generally quiet and considered in her actions. Tends to maximize fanservice with bangles and sheer translucent fabric.

Marduk class battleship Namtila (TM11 Battleship: 147pp)
(+3) Intelligence
(+1) Aeris Shields
(+3) Atlantean Regeneration
(+1) Aethyr Drive
(+1) AA Azirite Scales
(+2) Violet Beam Cannons
(^3) Atlantean Mages

Long black hair. Manipulative with non-Atlanteans. Generally an exciteable (maybe overly exciteable) pure tsun and the one to take charge when Zi-Ukkina isn't around.

Marduk class battleship Neberu (TM11 Battleship: 147pp)
(+3) Intelligence
(+1) Aeris Shields
(+3) Atlantean Regeneration
(+1) Aethyr Drive
(+1) AA Azirite Scales
(+2) Violet Beam Cannons
(^3) Atlantean Mages

Big cherry red hair. Follows along with Namtila and also fairly tsun but may have a bit of dere. More elegant and wears evening dresses more.

Marduk class battleship Arunana (TM11 Battleship: 147pp)
(+3) Intelligence
(+1) Aeris Shields
(+3) Atlantean Regeneration
(+1) Aethyr Drive
(+1) AA Azirite Scales
(+2) Violet Beam Cannons
(^3) Atlantean Mages

Seems to have her head in the clouds the most.

Marduk class battleship -assault type- Asaru (TM11 Battleship: 147pp)
(+2) Intelligence
(+1) Aeris Shields
(+1) Atlantean Armour
(+3) Atlantean Regeneration
(+1) Aethyr Drive
(+3) Violet Beam Cannons
(^3) Atlantean Mages

Plays the youngest sister. Not as clever as the others but relatively personable.

Altrusia Fleet

The banner of the purged Schlirean house of Altrusia gathers those tired of the Sternreich's peace and those persecuted or disillusioned with its repression of the so-called "Newtype Myth". Having wandered the stars for many years, they now fight for Lost Ground in order to provide for their families and give their children a chance in a place of learning where intellectual openness is almost absolute. They must also supply, repair and upgrade their equipment and perhaps simply find purpose. War, space magic and mecha are all things the Alter Empire has in abundance.

Strategic Airlift

The Murian looks like a gigantic, fat-bodied cross between a bird and a fish. It is notable for its ability to dive as a submersible and prefers water landings in normal operation.

Transports

For planet with little if any skyfaring tradition, Lost Ground has produced some rather big transport type ships. They move via gravity based drives and have a dark, techy, dystopiapunk look despite actually operating on high magic.

Fourth Paradisium Republic Arms Sales

Some amount of stuff amounting to 800pp was purchased from the Franks for Marshroot (rumoured to be used for resurrecting a Star Kraken, which is totally safe). It's all paid for but is currently unmanned and lacking in reasonable transport arrangements, so it remains at Franco Domini.
