Biography of Unit:

The First Company, First out of 5 units acting as the best of the best for the Rhodok people. The idea of these "Highlander" Companies was to put a unit together using just Highlanders (or people from the mountains). These are hardy and strong people that make up the most of Rhodok military personnel. Back in the ancient times these Mountain people raided the towns before the Republic of the Rhodok was founded. This Republic recognized the skill and ability of these Highlanders and the elected Duke of Rhodok Duke Kastor put forth to all his subjects to bring these clan folk into their homes and their armies to remove their need to raid their towns but raid the towns of the constantly invading Empire of Swadia to their north. These Highlanders were experts at raiding deep into enemy territory and pillage and cause havoc before retreating usually leaving few to recall the tale.

Fast forward to the Reclamation Wars or as the Swadian's refer to it as the Rhodok Insurgency. The Highlanders were used extensively as their homeland was being invaded. The Rhodok Army (cirta 1920) sent all their divisions to drive off they larger force of Swadian invaders and the Highlanders joined together to raise their own division the 12th Highlander Divison as it was originally called before the Rhodok army separated the Divisions into Battalions creating 6 Highlander Battalions to be used for special tasks for each of the assigned Divisions. The most notable was the 114th Highlanders, and the 111st Highlanders.

The 3rd Infantry Divisions 114th Highlanders were sent on a night raid which they pushed through the Swadian front line and became encircled. Instead of attempting a retreat they pushed deeper into Swadian territory and attack Uxkhal a notably large town and a hub for Swadian supplies by morning with the capture of the town successful and all the Swadian Lions Crest flags changed to the Republics Green and White cross. The near by Swadian Units near by laid siege to remove the Highlanders from the old walls of Uxkhal which included dropping artillery. The Swadian's had a fairly large ammo Depot within Uxkhal as well and they would assume they would blow up the Depot which would hopefully route the Unit. After the shelling the Swadians attacked. However, they found the town empty, civilians, soldiers and 114th Highlanders were not found. The Highlanders took their prisoners along with a large chunk of Swadian supplies. With the confusion the Rhodok Battalion took advantage and retreated with their supplies, prisoners and left the town unoccupied while the Swadians bombed their own town. This caused them to lose alot of ground while they attempted to pull their troops off the front to resecure the town and they lost almost all their stockpile of supplies at Uxkhal after the bombed it.

Fast forward to the current era, the Highlanders are used as the Rhodoks premier Special Operations and Shock troops. With 5 Battalions still active (111st to 115th) the Battalion's 1st Pathfinder Company will be handed over to Task Force Atlas for Training, and Active Deployment as the Task Force Atlas commander's discretion.

RP Example:

Rhodokan Republic, Jelkala; the capital city of Rhodok.
Aaryn Kastor; Earl of the Republic, Leader of all Rhodok's



Jelkala, the diamond of Rhodok. Just in land from the sea however, connected to it by a wide and winding river that came down from the mountains. The Port of Jelkala made use of this and aloud the Republican Naval Fleet's make use of it. This also made Jelkala's markets expansive as all the new imports came in through this port.

Ever since the ancient times the guild masters controlled the cities and trade, while the lords and ladies controlled the army's and castles. Every king and now every Earl was picked the same way. They would march out to the rolling hills free of weapons and show themselves in front of the Guild masters and village elders of the original 28 villages and cities. If they all knew you kind of heart, and known as a leader then you would be the next Earl.

Now in the Modern times it wasn't as epic as it was back then but each leader of all Rhodok's had to make a name for themselves in each of the 28 towns of old. This was usually the same way as those who came before. They put the betterment of the town ahead of their own well being and their own time to improve the lives of those living in that town. This would help you to become well known. As for leading men, this was relatively simple; Become an officer in the military by doing well in school until the mandatory 5 year enlistment at the age of 19, There they would give you your educational score and give you your rank when you started in the military. You could go for the 5 years then get out or sign up for life and have that chance to become the leader of Rhodok.

Aaryn, the current Earl, though most just call her Lady Aaryn. She did extremely well surpassing all others in her class and in life.
Kastor is an ancient name of a previous king that lead the young country after its separation from the Swadian Empire and defender their lands to keep from folding into the Calradian Empire that the Swadians attempted to create. Lady Aaryn was awarded the rank of 1st Lieutenant right out of high-school skipping the ranks of Officer Cadet and 2nd Lieutenant. She did her 5 years of service and continued in the "White Shields" or Home Guard for another 5 while traveling the Rhodok highlands and lowland impressing the 28 Guild Masters and Village Elders with her abilities improving the Rhodok Republic as a whole. When It came to pick the next leader of Rhodok's hundreds dozens of veteran officers came out to try their luck in gaining their favor But then, Lady Aaryn wearing an ancient battle armor of years past, Clad in chain-mail and plate, with the Republics green and white cross, with shield of old in hand challenged the other officers where they were there to improve themselves she was there to defend her friends from treachery and corruption. At the age of 29, she understood what it was to be Rhodok and she came to actively protect her friends she had made of the 28 Masters and Elders, it was a clear and obvious choice which most of the officers that had come to win favor ended up kneeling to her as their new Earl, or in this case Lady of Rhodok.

Fast forward 2 years and Aaryn now lived in Jelkala Castle over looking her fief of Jelkala and Buvran. Though the fief was more or less a formality, more of a sign of tradition than anything else. The town's flags would switch to the standing bear of yellow on a green back ground the Kastor family emblem which showed that they were under the personal protection of Lady Aaryn and her men; 1st Jelkala Regiment, a White Shield regiment that she served with.

Aaryn sat in the grand hall in Jelkala where her friend's that she had made over the years would feast and talk about how the country was running. At the moment however, the table was empty and she sat at the head of the table on her throne scrolling through her tablet. she was more of less just passing time before he next task. This was interrupted by one of her guards, the Sergeants of Jelkala, an elite soldier of Rhodok's distant past made even more deadly with the use of firearms.

"Lady Aaryn, your Minister of worldly affairs." the Sergeant said,

"Ah thank you Graveth," Aaryn said looking up and discarding the tablet onto the long oak table that extended the length of the room. she stood and walked to the Minister.

"Ha," The minister aloud a chuckle to escape as he saw her clothes. "And I thought you were going to wear that chain-mail and plate armour when you were doing official business?" He joked.

"No Sir Gerluchs, only when a knight leaves the protection of her castle will she don the appropriate garments" Aaryn joked exaggerating a bow.

Arthur Gerluchs rolled his eyes and laughed "Oh but of course how silly of me!" They both laughed at this. "At any rate, I have something that may attract your attention." switching gears, Aaryn nodded and and the both sat together at the table side by side to look at the documents Gerluchs brought.

Mindwalker, a territory wrapped up in a civil war.

"We have a trading lane going past this don't we..." Aaryn sighed. Minister Gerluchs, never came if it didn't effect them, they were more worried about things in Calradia and more importantly Swadia to be worried about somewhere else.

"Yes and it will be good training for our men," Gerluchs reminded, "Swadians, Nord's and Vaegirs are constantly sending out forces to fight in civilwars to train them. Then they bring them back to fight against each other here."

She had to agree, with Calradia busy training and improving she couldn't stay idle. She would have to send an army outside her borders to improve them. She then would have to raise a host of White Shields to take its place. She had to think of which unit would be best suited to the task. The task being like every other time go to country having a war and pacify all parties then leave. Simply going and leaving would lose confidence in her leadership and she would have to defend herself.

"Your Right Graveth, send 15th, 16th, and 17th Divisions with 3rd Fleet. I'll go over there once they arrive to speak with those men and I'll give Marshall Matheas the rains and he will see it through." Aaryn reasoned.

"Your wish is my command Lady Aaryn." Gerluchs nodded to her reasoning and stood. Aaryn stood as well and shook his hand and watched him leave.

-Snip-

Hate to break it to you bud, but this thread is more or less inactive/dead, and is just a bunch of "old" guys talking about possibly redoing it at some point

Side Note: Teams are generally SOF Squads [9-12] not hundred plus man battalions

[Rhodokan Republic]

Oh really?

Well if you do start it back up let me know, I'm interested in this!

[Yanjin]

https://www.nationstates.net/nation=yan ... /id=917581
Check me out everyone and figure out if its a place you'd like to bomb or not. It's Vang and when I have more time I'd like to start a one off tier 1 op here. I could try something smaller scale with as little as 2-3 others. Or we could get loud with it and kick things right off. Either way, it's great to see an app. I'm sure someone into forward air control would appreciate the target buffet set up in the factbook above.

[Rhodokan Republic]

Hey I'm up for anything at this point. Im no good at developing a story more like playing along with them. so "Vang" if you want to kick something off consider me and my First Pathfinder Company good to go. I'm going to continue to fine tune my app until I'm comfortable with it.

[A m e n r i a]

Taggin' this so hard. I hope you guys revive this.

[Rhodokan Republic]

The Shahita Emergency

Yanjin might not have to set up an RP. There is a good RP here that im going the show off the 1st Pathfinder Company on.

[Vangaziland]

That's an angle we can look at for now. Imagine if we deployed Atlas assets into missions already in play. I think even for networking purposes alone, we should keep this thread open. It might not hurt to keep interested apps coming in. It may be those we rebuild with. In the meantime, I'll look at that thread.

[A m e n r i a]

Hit me up if you guys are serious in rebuilding. In the meantime, I'll work on an app.

Vang + Others: the rp is getting a bit large. If we wanted to follow this idea you had Vang it might not last too much longer as the Op might close it

[The Knockout Gun Gals]

Should we plan for a small-scale operation instead?

[Vangaziland]

I'd be in if we did. The issue would just be finding a few ready to go through with it. We tried the last idea but it never took it. It sounds like we could get something going. Count me as 1 interested.

[A m e n r i a]

Me too. I'd have to find something other than a plain MT-only RP though.

[Rhodokan Republic]

I'm in as well

[Vangaziland]

Plain MT is a standard that I personally wouldn't be looking to deviate from.

[A m e n r i a]

Ah, but it's so boring and I won't be able to participate. Seriously, what is it with certain people and the "r" word?

I'd be interested as well

[Vangaziland]

It sounds like I should start writing the Yanjin scenario. Stay tuned.

As for Amenria, this is a group for realistic, tier one military RP. It gets pretty high tech. But we don't need super advanced robots or other gear with absolutely zero ties to realistic operation. If you can't write a military RP without tech wanking, this isn't your group. Is there a time and place for the right tech to be used? Of course. But if you don't have the ability to make the most out of a low tech post, save your app.

Keep in mind, plenty push the line as we are actually more of a PMT group. But there should still be a basis or tie to a current modern technology. The idea of basic military RP should appeal to everyone in this group, at the core.

To be fair, NS military "realists" tend to be an overly elitist crowd, who often bend the definition of realism to suit them. I can understand a rational backlash against "realism" to an extent though I'd agree FT laser rifles and the like are a bridge too far.

[A m e n r i a]

That's exactly why I want to join. I want a chance to flaunt my human superheroes without having to face jedi, aliens, or eldritch monstrosities. Amenria is a PMT civ, and this group would be perfect for the heroes I created with Batman-level tech.

Define Batman level.

[Vangaziland]

It's a slippery slope. If we focused more on basic tier one writing as opposed to tech and cool guy moments, we'd be active. There comes a time to just be a regular soldier and it has nothing to do with the infantry realism (etc.) threads I loathe. It's about not writing your character as the hero for a moment and focusing on the story, complete with the basic tactical objectives.

The great thing about the group is that, when operating well, we combine PMT and MT strategy well. But let's make sure we keep tech grounded on real tech. Not mechs or light jumping hyper suits. No railguns...

Well, despite it being PMT, its very light. Stuff is like what'd expect to see in the near future, like 2020s. Stuff like caseless-telescoped rounds, better body armor, I think some guys have early model exo to relieve fatigue, smaller drones that can used to survey the battlefield around them. But its not just about tech swarming. It's also about skill of the operators. So I'm not sure what you mean by Bat-man tech and "superheroes" but we don't want people in full fallout style power armor, or jumping around like Titanfall. Nor do we want completely bullet proof superhumans punching holes through walls.

-Snip-

Ditto. I personally prefer writing about lower tech more grunt like soldiers. It's what made GATE: Unto the Breach so enjoyable to write.

I'm also available if you want to throw some ideas off me for the Operation

Nah, mate, the strongest member of my Task Force Atlas squad would be as strong as Deathsroke in the Arkham Series. Strong enough to easily tear open an air vent but not strong enough to lift a car. Basically what's on Batman's Arkham series is what I'm going with. My mecha-wearing superhero Cinderella would be behind a computer and sending intel, hacking computers and controlling support drones instead of actually fighting in this RP group's operations, since a gundam fighting MT soldiers would be OP she's a paraplegic and her prosthetic legs need to be charged, plus she can't fight without her mechs and she values her life more than the other members.

Alright mate, I was willing to step up to the plate for you on some relatively minor deviations from realism, but that's a bridge too far.
