Long Description: Elyran Armed Forces “EAF”

Motto: Victory to all or Death to the last

Background: The Serene Republic of Elyra being a sovereign entity in the frontier has made the creation of martial forces a necessary development. Being exposed to foreign and at times volatile entities has led to the Elyran Armed Forces, or in short, the EAF in being formed. They would emphasize on speed and precision when conducting their operations, employing equipment providing the capability to strike fast or to retaliate swiftly to a plethora of threats to the Republics safety. The recent aggression by the Hegemony has prompted extra funding to the defense program to improve their naval capabilities.

Branches: The EAF is divided into two main branches, the Army and the Navy. Each branch of the armed forces having their own independent Airforce.

Elyran Army: A land based force focusing on mechanized and motorized formations to permit them to swiftly react and adapt to situations as they unfold. Their main task is to garrison Elyran territory, able to mobilize at a moment's notice to meet any hostile threat with the ferocity and resolve of its uniformed men and women. Their motto "For Greatness, we standfast"

A notable example of an Elyran Army formation would be the 2nd Busra Army Corp, also called “The Shield Corp” in honor to their stand against Lii’dra aggression. Holding back and containing the Lii’dra until the intervention of the Federation Tup Commando, forcing the Lii’dra off the planet and into the depths of space.

The Army much like other armies also boasts their own branch of the Special Forces, the Elyran Special Service, alternatively called the “ESS”. The ESS conducts special operations both at home and abroad. A notable example of their act is during Lii’dra aggression, where small formations were deployed to gather intelligence and conduct strikes with the aim of halting or at the very least slowing their advance. Their motto is “Day or night, we will be there.”

Elyran Navy: The first line of defense against all threats, their fleet is mostly composed of escort class ships tasked with anti-piracy and smuggling operations across Elyran space. The recent aggression by the Hegemony and the losses during the Lii’dra conflict has led an expansion program, contracting Nanotrasen to assist in construction efforts of further spacefaring vessels to ensure the security of Elyran space. Their motto is “Dutifully among the stars, for you.”

The Navy is also responsible with manning a plethora of outposts throughout Elyran space and has their own form of ground forces, with a similar mindset as army, the Navy deploys their marines using a variety of strike crafts and transportation. Ensuring quick deployment and acquisition of mission objectives giving little respite to opposing forces. Their motto is “By our will and resolve”

The Marines also have a special forces branch, called the Elyran Naval Special Service, with a focus on special operations in the void of space. The ENSS is notable for their joint operation with a Synthetic Liberation Cell, in which President Dorn was rescued and brought back to Elyra. Their motto is “With swift and precision, we acquire."

Hello,

Thank you for your submission. A lot of the information here is a bit redundant, as I have said in our brief conversation about this application. I think it goes without saying that Elyra has a military divided into the usual metrics. An army, air force, special forces, and a space navy are all obvious components of a country even in our space nations. Cutting out the redundant information, we are left with something like:

 

The Elyran military focus on strategies that revolve around dealing with piracy, in which their armed forces focuse on speed and mobility. This means their navy is predominately made up of light ships.

Their army focuses on similar tactics of speed and mobility. While pirates struggle to actually reach the planet to land and raid, local army units rely on small numbers and high speed to rapidly repel any attempts.

As a whole the military is volunteer-based but in times of need the government can enact conscription for the duration of a crisis. They finance the purchase and production of equipment through the profits of taxing phoron exports.

 

I think this amount of information as a general summary of their military is enough information for a frontier faction - it puts across what is actually noteworthy about their military. We know it has one, and we just need a brief snippet on what makes it special.

Relevant alien races have more in-depth information on their military structure because they are very different from our modern western concepts, and we need to explain this.

Tajara technically have 3 different armies that need explanation, making it the most in-depth of our factions, but individually they are roughly the same size.

A good example to understand where I am coming from is this page:

https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Sol_Alliance_Military

it's a giant page of lists. This sort of page is philosophically creatively offensive to me personally, but given its legacy status I haven't really made efforts to reform it.

This isn't me slamming down a hard decision on your application, but I do want a conversation going about the philosophy I am coming at this with.

As per the Dominia military page I won't be taking it all as written but will use a large portion of this. Do you feel like a bad enough dude to draw up a hierarchy chart regarding their military set up?

Going to need more info to base that work on.

As for Jackboot, I'll try to respond to you this week.

Inkeeping with Zundy using this, I'll archive it for now. If you have questions concerning how we use the lore or the progress in it's addition please PM myself or Zundy.
