[ACCEPTED] Ahdomai Rangers

[Serveris]

Type (e.g. Planet, Faction, System): Military Division

Founding/Settlement Date (if applicable): 2421

Region of Space: Ahdomai (Particularly, those regions/areas in which government forces are actively engaged in combat.)

Controlled by (if not a faction): People's Republic of Ahdomai

Other Snapshot information: Originally formed in 2421 during the revolution against tajaran nobility, but later reformed in 2442 by the government with the newly-arisen conflict.

Long Description: With numerous war parties coming together in the conflict against the nobility, revolution leaders naturally assembled several units to conduct reconnaissance and field-scouting. The most renown and well-trained of these units came to become known as the Rangers. Originally comprised mainly of Zhan-Khazan and M'sai tajara, it later became an official unit within the armed forces after the government came to power. Small detachments of Rangers were typically attached to large infantry units - typically 6-22 for each main army - and reported to their own command structure. Rangers typically operate separately of infantry, and spend the bulk of their time outside of base camps and fortifications. After the first major revolt, the unit was officially reformed into a unit of the PRA military, with an official designation and placed among soldiers, however operating independently within their own numbers.

The training regime for rangers is typically anywhere in between one to three months, with recruits trained in basic survival and reconnaissance skills emphasizing on self dependence within the frozen wilderness of Ahdomai. They are typically deployed for around one-year rotations before being returned home.

Rangers, being a scouting unit, typically travel light on gear, carrying only the essentials. Equipment is distributed throughout the squad, ranging from long-range scopes and navigation kits, to bedrolls and tools for cooking and preparing meals within the fields. As far as weaponry, the Rangers tend to prefer simple weaponry over advanced equipment prone to malfunctioning or freezing at low temperatures. Specially designed lever-action rifles are considered standard-issue, with modifications in place designed to prevent freezing or jamming within the more sensitive components. More experienced rangers make use of small, balanced bladed weapons and silenced sidearms, however, their equipment is considered highly situational based on the assignment. The majority of rangers, whom can be found scouting the countryside and surveying enemy positions may make use of heavy, light-colored cloaks to assist them with blending in with blizzards and the snowy landscape. As much, the garb is regularly associated with them, with many common tajara being able to identify a ranger by such.

Rangers are not widely known for their abilities in combat; due to being classified as scouts. Whenever spotted or compromised, they typically flee the area en masse, trading skirmishing fire with their pursuers until they are clear of the area before regrouping together at another point. From these rare occurrences, the rangers have distinguished what could be considered 'average' marksmanship capabilities as a whole, of a military standard. It is neither exceedingly efficient, nor poor.

I thought you already had this put up and approved awhile ago, or is this a different set of Adhomai military specialists?

[Serveris]

The same. I just now got around to finishing the draft.

With a different name that's more Adhomai-y, I'll be happy to accept this! Not sure where to put it on the wiki though, a lot of these fluff things are centered around one faction and in order to make the wiki organized I'd have to do every other faction's version haha.

But yes, this app is accepted. Contacting JB to help me find a place for it, unless you'd like for it to just be general fluff that I can back you up on as canon any time.

How does the Ha'Narr corps of Adhomai sound? The title semi-translates to Mountain Ghosts, if you're interested.

Perfectly acceptable; whatever blends with the established lore best. I'd be capable of creating an independent page for it on the wiki, perhaps with a link redirecting to it somewhere in the current PRA/Tajara lore page, or simply list it in a paragraph or two on the main tajara page as an, "example of military divisions" sort of thing.

[hivefleetchicken]

YeaaAa!!!! Then I would have a good place to put the other established military lore.

We can work this out whenever I find out how to do this on mobile. I'm semi-homeless right now, so please bear with me.

Hello! A Tajaran Military Structure page is in the works with completion planned by this Friday, and it's an ideal place for this. While writing the tactics and composition of the Republican Army, I kept this in mind as an essential part of their military successes. I'll mark this as processing for now while I figure out how to condense this to retain its detail and personality, while not being the size of a page on its own. Everyone can expect to see the Ha'narr Corps in the near future, a service branch of the People's Republic separate from the Republican Army.

Application canonized and added to the wiki.
