Egelion

[Louis]

As the Egelian Royal Armed Force continue a modern and effective transformation into a  lethal global fighting force, questions are being asked throughout the empire about regional security and how the empire fits into Egelion’s doctrine. To further enhance Egelion’s policy of imperial integration, High Councilor Formoselle y Castilla traveled to Portesti this weekend to speak to Nadiyan and Tripartite officials about the future of the empire’s security. When the Empire of Keris was created, the member nations agreed to keep a decentralized, loose command. No greater authority would seek to take over the sovereignty and policies of other nations. For this reason, no common currency would take place and no legislative body would be created to solve the issue of the empire. Economic, diplomatic and political cooperation would keep the empire together.

Yet, after the Kerisian War, the defense and military forces of both Nadiya and New Endralon came into question: would they continue to reform and build up? Or would they both establish a defense-based force? The meeting in Portesti with all members of the empire answered that question and outlined both doctrine and direction for the empire for the next generation. While Egelion remains the strongest military member of the empire, the meeting of Portesti clarified that Nadiya and New Endralon should begin to match, or at least reform to adapt to Egelion’s military standards.

In Portesti, the High Councilor stated that a massive reform program for New Endralon’s forces would be designed by Castillo Garibaldi and implemented immediately to bring the nation’s security into the modern age. Questions were raised about New Endralon’s doctrine and whether it would solely rely on defense based strategy. It was concluded that New Endralon would have a regular armed force, with doctrine modeling Egelion’s all-climate, supportive doctrine. New Endralon would have its own air, ground, support, and naval forces that would fall under its own leadership. New Endralon will have direct access to Egelian and Nadiyan made equipment to replenish their force. Members of the new Tripartitie Force will have mandatory training with Egelian personnel yearly and will have full access to Egelion’s equipment while procurement efforts are underway.

Budgeting concerns would be taken over by the Royal Treasury, the Egelian Investment Fund, and investor Villar y Zepeda for the Tripartite military turn around. Nadiya, who has now balanced their budget after years of significant economic reforms, has pledged to repurpose old Trigunian military designs for the benefit of the armed forces. Soon Egelian and Tripartite forces will have access to new tanks, vessels, fighter jets, and advanced aeronautics from old Trigunia—reworked and modernized to fit modern standards. The Nadiyan government is set to release further information regarding old design and technology once specifications on their side have been finalized. For the next 10 years, imperial integration efforts will focus on the modernization and consolidation of imperial forces. “The idea is for them to one day fight under one banner. Represent one banner and fight as one unit. We plan for them to be lethal and all-adapting in every climate. In Egelion, we take pride in our resolve, our adaptability, speed, and results. We hope to share that with the rest of the empire”, concluded the High Councilor.
