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.

Army

  • 7.5x Guardian Battalion: 1500 men (1950G, 975M, 1200A, 75B; Upkeep 105G, 90M)
  • 1x Lightblade Company: 100 men (455G, 215M, 55A; Upkeep 18/10G, 11M)
  • 1x Sentinel Battalion: 20 units (300G, 300M, 200A; Upkeep 20G, 30M)
  • 1x Grayfell Chapter: 100 men (290G, 570M, 55A; Upkeep 22G, 21M)

Guardian Battalion

  • 2x Fire-caster Company

Fire-caster Company: Men of Arms (130G, 65M, 80A, 5B; Upkeep 7G, 6M)

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 (25G, 50M, 25A; Upkeep 5M)
  • Common Magic Book (5B) (upgraded in 5300 AE, 1Q)

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))
  • Noble Magic Book (20B) (20 Books = 100G)

Sentinel 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)

Grayfell Chapter

  • 1x Grayfell Company

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

Especially talented Avalonians, especially those with greater concentrations of divine blood are recruited directly into the Grayfell Chapter 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, Grayfell Paragons are technically employed as part of the Royal Guard, defending Camelot, the Avalonian Imperial Palace. In practice, the Grayfell Chapter 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

Navy

  • 1x Battle Group: 9 Ships (6030G, 2975M, 2000A, 25L; Upkeep 430G, 405M)
  • 1x Transport Fleet: 5 Ships (600G, 375M, 10L; Upkeep 25G, 60M)

Battle Group(Home Fleet)

  • 4x Odin Class Warship
  • 5x Mjolnir Class Frigate

Odin Class Warship: Skyship (1155G, 575M, 500A, 5L = 125G; Upkeep 80G, 90M)

Heavily armed and even more heavily armored, the Odin class Skyship entered service less than a century ago replacing the antiquated Pegasus class. Each ship represents the pride of the Avalonian Navy and an immense investment in resources.

  • Haze Field (150M; Upkeep 5M)
  • Adamantium Cladding (80G, 500A; Upkeep 5M)
  • 1x Bombard (300G; Upkeep 30G)
  • 2x Culverin (200G; Upkeep 20G)
  • 2x Concussion Cannon (50G, 100M; Upkeep 20M)
  • 3x Heavily Armed (150G; Upkeep 10M)
  • Manajet (75M; Upkeep 10M)

Current Ships Commissioned:

  • Odin (Under Refit)
  • Thor (Active)
  • Aesir (Active) (Adamantium Standard) (Deployed to Lemuria)
  • Tyr (Active)

Mjolnir Class Frigate: Air Boat (285G, 75M, 1L; Upkeep 22G, 9M)

The Mjolnir is a relative oddity within Avalonian military design principles. Most Avalonian combat units, whether ground forces or skycraft, emphasize protection over everything. The Mjolnir class frigate, however, emphasizes speed and affordability over firepower. The gigantic Odin class warships are far too few and expensive to be everywhere at once. The Mjolnir was thus conceived to be a mass-produced substitute, allowing far more ubiquitous aerial support for potential ground operations. The design was tailored primarily towards escort roles with secondary capability in troop support and reconnaissance.
Recent refits to all Mjolnir frigates made in mid to late 5300 added additional protection through a conversion to iron-cladding. With the use of manajets, maximum maneuverability did not suffer excessively and protection was greatly increased.

  • Haze Field (30M; Upkeep 1M)
  • Iron Cladding (25G; Upkeep 1M)
  • 1x Culverin (200G; Upkeep 20G)
  • 1x Heavily Armed (30G)
  • Manajet (15M; Upkeep 2M)

Current Ships Commissioned:

  • Mjolnir (Active) (Deployed to Lemuria)
  • Gungnir (Active) (Deployed to Lemuria)
  • Tyrfing (Active)
  • Lævateinn (Active)
  • Hrotti (Active) (Deployed to Chamlek, Lemuria)
  • Dáinsleif (Under Construction)
  • Nægling (Under Construction)

Transport Fleet

  • 5x Frigga Class Transport

Frigga Class Transport: Air Galleon (120G, 75M, 2L = 50G; Upkeep 5G, 12M)

The Frigga Class transport is an integral part of the Avalonian Navy. Primarily responsible for rapid troop transport through treacherous terrain, the Frigga class is able to hold an entire battalion of men within its holds.

  • Reinforced Wood Cladding (40G; Upkeep 2M)
  • Increased Cargo (30G)

Current Ships Commissioned:

  • Frigga (Active) (Deployed to Chamlek, Lemuria)
  • Embla (Active) (Deployed to Chamlek, Lemuria)
  • Freya (Active) (Deployed to Chamlek, Lemuria)
  • Sigyn (Active)
  • Swanhild (Active)

Mage Support

See Magecraft and Magic in Avalonian Republic for more information about Mages.

  • Total: 5400 starting units of resources (21.6 points). No longer relevant past 5300, Q1.
  • Council of Archmages:
    • 1000M, 400 Books = 2000G
    • Upkeep: 40G, 120M
  • Guild of Mages:
    • 1600M, 220 Books = 1100G
    • Upkeep: 172G, 40M

Technically not a part of the armed forces, the Guild of Mages, which is overseen by the Council of Archmages, works very closely with the military during times of war and crisis. Mages regularly train with armed forces and often act as magical support, including defensive magic, offensive magic and healing magic. Usually, every active company is assigned at least a single adept. Skyships are also assigned an adept or a master depending on the situation. Archmages are almost never seen on the field unless in exceptional circumstances.
