Military of the Federation.

By, CPT. Kellen Lesley. 205th Fenrir Airborne Regiment. (Son of Kevin 'Phoenix' Lee & Hai Qiu Zheng)

"Если не мы, то кто?"
[If not us, then who?]

As much as the IPC loves to mock how disorganized and decentralized the Federal Military is, along with the Galactic Empire from the Lohengramm Universe... Our strength lies in our strong Esprit de corps and long history against ourselves and the Invaders of the Terra Invicta War.

Divided by Ideologies, but United in Nationality. For we are first and foremost, Federal Citizens and Soldiers of the Federation, whereas whatever Family Clans (Sakura Order), Revolutionary Corps (RSH), and Subfactions (Phoenix Party) are a very distant second.

And that can include our Military. However, our tactics are often different. And this will also reveal each of our Subfactions.

Even though I'm a Phoenix Faction, myself, I've traveled a lot, due to being in the Airborne. Or an Interstellar version of it.

Federal Military (Phoenix).

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Libertas oppressis, mors oppressoribus.
[Freedom to the Oppressed, Death to the Oppessors.]

Federal Army, Federal Navy, Fighter Corps, Coast Guards. You named it.

Specialized Combat Brigades and LASW Utlized Division are the way to go for us, along with many Professional and Educated Soldiers within the Federal Military.

For example, my 205th Fenrir Airborne Division was founded by Georgine Jeanette... Who's ironically also my Father's Wife and Half Mother. Surprised?

Anyways, we specialize in  Airborne Operations within enemy territory, including Reconnaissance, Sabotage, and denying reinforcements or sowing chaos in the enemies' Rear Lines. We also utilized Light Tanks, IFVs, APCs, & Armored Cars with Anti-Tank Missiles attached to them. Just in case we're messing with big guys like the Borisins. Or scratch the Geneva Convention and go hell's highway (or all or nothing, for Aventurine's case), if it's Hoolay and the Borisins.

And that's an example. We have a lot of Specialized Brigades and Companies and often prefer Quality over Quantity tactics, along with our preference with Mechanized Warfare. However, due to the Borisin Wolves can disguise themselves... We ended up allowing Psionics within every Division.

Sentinel Guards (Phoenix)

Ex Veritas, Victoria.
{From Truth, Victory.}

Originally, they were the 1st Division of the now-deactivated New Phoenix Project, post-war 12 Divisions. And were the Honor Guards of the Fallen... But after the situation with the Old Guards back in our Universe... They became more akin to an Elite Unit like the Spartans, the Persians Immortals, or the Turkish Janissaries.

Unlike Regular Military Police within the Federal Military, they're not only purely infantry-based Police Forces, except for Armored Cars... They also purge the Old Guard Fascists and the Rouge Cell like they're nothing. They're fanatical in their devotion to maintaining a free and prosperous Federation, both within and without.

Their Battle Rifle is more powerful than the Standard Weapons of the Federal Military. But much more expensive since they're craftsman-made instead of Mass Produce in the Factories. Adding the most of them were orphans. So, yeah... We're not perfect, but hey, future manpower is future manpower.

I was once allowed to join them and become an Elite Unit. While it was tempting, I chose to remain a stalwart soul in joining the Airborne. But they didn't seem insulted, as they also have Robotic Sentinels to fill up their ranks. And by god, they're quite the arsenal. And unlike the Turkish Janissaries, they're open to new weapons and tech.

Can I just say they're also equipped in the same manner as the Brotherhood of Steel?

Aegis Accord. (Phoenix)

Scientia Elegit Fideles.
{Science chooses the faithful.}

Within this sub-faction of the Phoenix Party, Robots and Artificial Intelligence are free within their Faction. Hence, the Phoenix Party granted them Citizen Rights after the Aegis Accord. Something that makes the RSH & Sakura Order (Formerly of Kami Order) rather shocked. A purely Mechanical Task Force with an Artificial Intelligence Officer leading it. The RSH still doesn't allow Human Sentience in Machines, while the Sakura Order largely prohibits Artificial Intelligence or even Machines.

... Though, I got the shocking news that Kichirou got himself a Yandere Synthetic Android, and what's even more surprising... Like the T-Dolls from Griffin & Kryuger... She has the Wombforce installed in her by herself, and no one knows until she was found carrying one... And now carrying one.

I swear to god, I think our family, or more specifically, my dad's curse of Yanderes seems to have reached Kichi. I hope I'm lucky and not getting it.

As I was saying, members... Or I should say, Aegis Accord's Robotics are Specialized in Long Distance and Extensive Combat Roles. Any Warships and even Merchant Ships within the Aegis Accord are self-sustaining and can handle a fight, and even grievous wounds are repairable. As for weapons? Anything they can carry or even attach is no problem. So no need to add the Weapons Sections. However, I'm not sure what the Aegis Accord's Ranking systems have, but they decided that the Standard NATO Rank System is enough.

Simplicity is Beautiful, right? At least we won't be calling their ranks, via the Commonwealth System.

Revolutionary Red Army/Navy/Strike Corps (Fighters). (Revolutionary Socialists of Humanity's Military)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Volya revolyutsionnoy moshchi!
[Will of the Revolutionary Might!]

While the Phoenix party prefers Mobile Warfare or Superior Firepower, the RSH always takes on an Open Field Battle. Ie. Mass Assault Formation.

Many Motostrelki Conscripts, Armored Vehicles, Tanks, and even Warships are low-cost, yet effective in combat. It's like watching the Antimatter Legion, the  Annihilation Gang, or even the Disciple of Sanctus Medicus facing a seemingly endless horde of Revolutionary Socialists charging at them with Energy Bayonets and firing wildly at them.

Imagine that. I'd piss my pants off if I ever saw that happening. But they're not stupid either. They also Planned their Attacks, with an Armored Speartip. Along with Skelters & Romanov-class Destroyers unleashing CAS on their enemies. And with their reliance on Superior Manpower and Firepower... You can also imagine Artillery turning the enemy's land into an infertile wasteland.

And yes, even Combat Vehicles and Warships count. In other words, Quantity over Quality. But so long their aim strike true, and their weapons overwhelm them... I won't worry much.

Volksliga des Teslapunk. (People's League of Teslapunk.)

Wissenschaft und Tugend.
{Science and Virtue}

Oh yes... When do you mix GDR with Teslapunk? This is what you get. The People's League of Teslapunk. Or Die Volksliga des Teslapunk in German.

Unlike the RSH... They have a hefty German Influence, East German more like. It's almost as if the West Germans are Federal Military... But value the Archaic Weapons instead.

Anyways... Instead of relying on Advanced Weaponry... they prefer to use Steampunk-type weapons. Ie. Stuff from The Order 1886 Science Weapons. Thermite Rifles, Arc Induction Rifles, Acid Throwers, Poison Gas Launchers... Heck, even Wonder Weapons from the COD Zombies series... They even upgrade them with Archaeo Artifects... And have opened a School of Archaeostudies.

Heck, they even used Archaeo Weapons and Armor on their Warships!

And I was granted a test fire with a Winter's Howl. And due to my Company having the Fenrir by name and aesthetics... They gave us Frost Based Wonder Weapons as a Joke and Gift.

Plus, their weapons work well against the Borisins, so. At least some hard counters.

Fuck me... Germans within this Socialist Corps are utterly crazy... But at least they're on our side. And no, I won't be listing their weapons, as it would give me a stroke. And their Ranks are equivalent to the East German Rank System.

Syndicalist Clones Corps.

Pobeda blagodarya prevoskhodyashchey sile!
{Victory through Superior Force!}

... Need I ask?

Clone Army Units. Using the Combat Effective Genes of their enemies to make stronger units or as a counter against such. Talk about twisted and sick...

But then again, that's also their common tactic—Superior Manpower & Firepower. Hence they don't mind having Clones in their Army. Hence I won't say much about it. It's the same, but they can provide less for more.

Sakura Imperial Military. (Sakura Order)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Wareware wa chitsujo no hada!
[We are the Blades of the Order!]

Ah... The Sakura Order. Formerly the Kami Order. But after sounding that's a bit too odd. They decided to go for the Sakura Order. Much to the appreciated response from Nagato (Azur Lane).

Heavily influenced by our world's Japanese Culture (Inazuman by Teyvat, Izumoian by HSR), they're highly spiritual and have a lot of belief in the Kami. there's also a strong mix of Buddhism included. And unlike the Phoenixian's Constitutional Federal Republic or the RSH Socialist Corps... They're controlled by Familial Clans and their Vassals.

But as I said, a Strong Majority sees themselves as Federal Citizens, first and foremost. While Family Clans are important to them, their top priority is their duty to the Federation. Along with some believing that they have a Divine Destiny and are Militaristic, others are more open and friendly like the Autumn Sect led by former Xianzhou's Denizens of Abundance.

Most of their weapons are energy melees, but they don't shy away from using firearms either. A mix of tradition and technology. With a mix of Psionics that both the RSH and Standard Federal Brigades and Divisions don't have. But they're allowed to join if they wish, but the RSh won't accept them, for Security and Political Reasons. And it's these Zro Particles that they find more value than Strategic Resources that we all do.

As for their Warships? They prefer utilizing Psionic Jump Drives, while the Federal Research Bureau is creating Jump Drives. Along with Psionic Shields, Psionic Submaries, if that stuff can be utilized by Psionics. They're certainly going to use it, without question.

In other words, Dune, but it's Imperial Japan.

Melees:
- Plasma Katana (Plus Variants).
- Plasma Naginata.
- Plasma Yari Spears.

Primaries:
[Literally Empire of the Rising Sun's Arsenals, so... No need.]

Xianzhou Jiguang (Aurora).

Reinbō ābitā to kami no tame ni!
[For the Reignbow Arbiter and the Kami!]

The Sakura Order's Gift to the Xianzhou Alliance. A Hexaship made jointly by the Xianzhou and the Order's Top Engineers and Laborers. The reason is known only to their Arbiter-Marshal.

However, it's best summed up as they don't like the Sanctus Medicus under Dan Shu and Phantyila causing damage to them and the Xianzhou Alliance and gifted the Jiguang to them. As it was originally named, Grand Izanami... Which is essentially a Juggernaut with the size of a Ring World.

After the transfer, it looked like a Xianzhou Ship, but three times as large... With a mix of Xianzhou Natives and Sakurians. And of course, as expected Mara Struck, but...

Their Doctrines are more open in Standard Ranged Combat and Powers of the Hunt. With interesting Weapons, Gears, Armor, and even the Culture and food of the Xianzhou Jiguang.

A mix of Sakurian and Xianzhou. Talk about interesting, and likely the very first Psionic Corps that the Xianzhou Alliance has ever had.

Sadly, I know little of their Military as it was recent... But my best guesses are a Mix of Xianzhou Weapons and Sakurian Weapons. So, it's hard to say... And I'm certain that they still use the Xianzhou Rank system. So, no problem.

Vanguard of the Kami.

Itsumo onaji, itsumo chigau.
[Ever the same, ever the different.]

When I say that the Sakura Order is Fanatically Spiritualist... I mean it with this one.

Consisting of Powerful Shrine Maidens, Monks, and even Family Clans with Strong Connections with the Kami can end up in this Organization.

Currently, the Matsui, Takara & Kasumi Family Clan are the Big Three of the Vanguard. With Naomi Takara as the Head of both the Vanguard and Sakura Order. The Matsui is more for Psionic Warfare and the Kasumi for Religious Support.

These Warriors are not to be messed with, as they can predict your plans of attacking before they even start. And you'll be at the funeral instead. Hence why the RSH, even with the help of the Volksliga and Clone Corps... Couldn't win an offensive attack against them, and lost a defensive battle, after one of their commanders lost his Logistics Teams, to Shinobis.

However, we ended up in a Stalemate, between the Federalist Forces and the Sakura Order Forces. Likely due to both sides always playing 4D Chess against one another. Hence we just shook hands and ended the battle.

FYI, Both of them were simulated War games. And as for weapons? I think you know. Feudal Japanese Weapons turned Sci-Fi.

...

PS. Naomi Takara is my Old Flame (First Love).

Conclusion:

From the lines within Battlefield 1...

We are those people.

We are the Jaded and we are the Naive.

We are the honorable and the criminal.

We are the bound for legend and we are the lost to history.

We are the knights of the sky, the ghosts in the desert, and the rats in the mud.

...

We all, have our stories to tell.
