The '''Zaphorzian Confederacy''' or '''ZC''' in simpler terms, Is a breakaway faction within the [[Gold Sector]] Centered around the Zaphor system. What began as a powerful and insidious corporation, fueled by separatist dissenters from elsewhere in the GR, eventually gained control over a number of star systems becoming it's own star nation. The Confederation of these Conglomerate controlled systems call themselves the Confederate States of Zaphorzia and Graznovia, and by outsiders the Zaphor Confederacy, or simply "Rebels", although the moniker can be used to describe a number of groups not affiliated with the ZC

The Zagorian Systems Conglomerate (Today just called the '''Systems Conglomerate''' or ZSC is a rather large alliance of systems in the South [[Gold Sector]] previously known as the Zagorian systems,who are largely dominated by corporations
 +
==History==
  
 +
===Beginnings and Background===
  
 +
The Zagorian systems of the southern Elkossian Empire had always been a somewhat detached  group of colonies that maintained their autonomy from capital.  Several of the planets in these systems were also unusually rich in resources which would constantly make them a target in the eyes of the Capital's industrial sectors. These planets would be mined and stripped of resources, and very little of the benefits would see their way back to the southerners.  If it hadn't been for the Peach war of R.2011, there might have been a rebellion in the south.
  
−
==History==
+
During and after the Peach war, Elkoss was devastated, and the Zagorian systems enjoyed a brief period of true independence. Although this wouldn't last. By the time the post-war succession struggle had ended on Elkoss, the new Galacian Republik would re-enter the south and "annex" the short-lived Zagorian Republik after a few skirmishes and pitched battles.
  
−
~Pending another re-write 2017
+
Tensions reached a boiling point in R.2016 After James Lahey was elected President of Galacia, and at the time, his cheif Military leader, Marshal Shulga enacted a plan to modernize and grow the Galacian army and navy, at the expense of the Republik's resource rich south.  Planets were stripped bare, and colonists were subjected to almost indentured servitude conditions while they mined materials and built weapons.  The unrest culminated in what was known as the Oplot uprising,  the very moon of Galacia's capital was attacked by a Southern nationalist insurgent group called NAPA (NAtional-PArty). While they were eventually defeated, NAPA caused unprecedented amounts of destruction and humiliation to the Republik, and ultimately created a distinction of "Us vs them"
  
−
The Rebellion started out as centrist capitalist movement corporation, which at the time was Galacia's largest energy and mining company. Unchecked and unsupervised corporate expansion in what would eventually become the Granite Prefecture of the sector, led to H-A claiming sole trading rights over multiple systems,  the Government allowed this to continue as it saw little value in the systems it was operating in.  A month later would see the "Oplot Rebellion". an alliance of Anarchists, Libertarians, Roughnecks,  Miners, Laborers, Mercenaries an other disgruntled colonists rose up on the capital's moon, Oplot.  While the rebellion lasted little more than 2 months before it was kicked off the moon, untold millions of Galacian resources and capital were siphoned and smuggled out of the system. Militarily the rebels were defeated, but more than half of the 20'000 rebels managed to escape the moon after the battle went south. 
+
===Effects of the Bakhacha Coup===
 +
For much of R.2016 and R.2017, Zagoria became a occupied police state, Zagorian rebels had become a serious threat to the stability of the Republik, and as much as a quarter of the Now Massive Galacian military was dedicated soley to fighting these rebels, however everything changed after the [[Outer Haven Incident]].  Shulga deposed Lahey, who later died. And the Galacian Republik was effectively cast out and replaced by Shulga's despotic Galacian Imperiya. Something then happened that no one would have expected, Under the leadership of Lahey's daughter Sarah, many "Republik Loyalists" who stood for demokracy, fled south and joined forces with the Zagorian Rebels.
  
−
By this time, the Haliat-Armali had begun witholding taxes, and with the Government focused on military action, went undetected. By the time of the liberation of Oplot, the Corporation offered asylum, and employment for the thousands of rebels.  Every one of them was hired as "Corporate Colonial Security". a fancy title for an army of mercenaries.  
+
Days later, as the [[Arhus Crisis]] escalated, and threatened to pull the entire western arms into a war of unfathomable scale, Shulga's Imperiya suddenley and unexpectedly signed a peace treaty with the Rebels, granting them their independence. At the time it looked like the Arhus Crisis was sure to escalate into full scale war, and Galacia and it's allies needed all available forces to commit to the frontline.  
  
−
More and more dissenting minifigs fled to the south, at the time, the GR had elected a hardline, racist and authoritarian government,  many felt their freedom was being trampled on, and sought life elsewhere. by mid G.R 2015, The GR's war with the communists in the west was coming to a close.  Once again, many fled to the south. Whilst the hardliner communists remained in the Ruby prefecture. Haliat-Armali, now known as the Zaphor Conglomerate, now had stewardship of as many as 15% of the Gold sector's overall population. Planetary governers were assigned by the corporation,  secret alliances were struck between the ZC and several other corporate and non-government entities around the galaxy to provide materials in exchange for mining and energy goods. Minifigs from all around began migrating into their colonies for the promise of lax regulations and total economic freedom. Mercenaries were joined by colonist volunteers, and the Confederacy now had a mostly standardized standing army.
+
===The price of Freedom===
  
−
While the Conglomerate would retain it's name, In late G.R 2016 the united territories under the control of the Conglomerate would call themselves the Confederate States of Galacia. And established their own civilian government,  one that was heavily influenced and controlled by it's corporate overlords, however.
+
The Maripol Treaty established an immediate ceasefire between Imperiya and Rebel forces in the southern front of the Gold Sector conflict. As well as an exchange of territory, The generally accepted leader of the Zagorian Republik, President Bardak surrendered two colonies in exchange for  peace, and recognition from their enemy. This caused a split within the faction, The Moderates were happy with peace, but many Nationalists and the Lahey Loyalists saw this as a "job not finished". Making things worse was in the chaos of the territory swap, the Galacian right wing nationalist group [[Cherhovna Bryhada]] first swept into the DMZ established by the treaty, and were then kicked out and invaded Zagoria proper. With many of the Republik's best troops abandoning the army or otherwise going rogue having been displeased with the results of the treaty, the remaining Zagorian Defence Forces were woefully unprepared for a counter-insurgency operation against the fully militarized Bryhada
  
−
This was the final straw from the Elkoss government. This was taken as another act of rebellion, and while it cared little about the new borderland colonies, the Confederacy had also "stolen" several of it's prized colonies in the Amethyst sector which it was focusing development on at the time. Hostilities broke out immediately, and as if all at once, multiple other powers agreed to support the Confederacy as a means to curbing the dominance the Republic had over the sector. Thus the [[Maripol Pact]] was born. The pact, led by the Zaphor rebels would be a constant thorn in the side of Republic ambitions
+
===USA Saves the Day===
 +
After months of fighting a losing battle against insurgents, and becoming a laughing stock of both the Gold Sector and the Western Arms, President Bardak pleaded for assistance at the AN, To which sympathetic politicians in the USA responded by lobbying to send a relief force into Zagoria to fight the Cherhovna Bryhada, and now also the Pirates and Criminals of the [[Syndikat]]. [[Operation Harvest Red]] was that rescue plan, and the USA swiftly routed the Bryhada and Syndikat in 3 weeks. Afterwards, Several USA companies and corporations began establishing relief efforts to rebuild Zagoria. The Zagorian government was naieve enough to believe this help came free, when secretley, the corporations had been dealing with the Disgruntled Demokratic Nationalists, and when the time was right, elections were rigged and the corporate lackey Rick Marshall was elected president.
  
−
==Governance==  
+
===Marshall Government===
 +
Zagoria after the election, would be re-packaged to the galaxy as the "Zagorian Systems Conglomerate" a faction that was the very embodiment of USA style "Freedom" and Marshall's new plan was to eventually re-open hostilities with the Imperiya, who were propagated as Authoritarian, almost communist Tyrants.  Behind the scenes however, the Corporations, banded together and formed their own council to run their very own country. The  "Zagorian" part of the moniker so  fell out of use as Zagorian nationalism became less and less prevalent in the ambitions of the country as a whole. To the SC  it didn't matte r where people came from as long as they worked for them.

+
The Conglomerate still largely functioned as many other countries did, in fact almost identical to that of the USA, but in reality their agenda was strictly to service the egos and ambitions of CEOs and businessmen,  it's military force, originally comprising of freedom fighters, rednecks and rebels fighitng for the ideals of Liberty, Honor , Justice and the restoration of Demokracy, became incredibly polluted with mere Mercenaries who were loyal only to the next paycheck

*At home in the Gold Sector, ZC is war with the Galacian Republic,  and engages in the occasional border skirmish with MSU or other Communist expeditionary forces who trespass in the sector. It has also been involved in regular conflict with religious extremists such as the Triangular state of Outer Heaven, also in the Gold Sector
 
−
 
−
*Galacia does not recognize the soverignty of the Confederacy and refers to them as Separatists or Rebels at best, and Terrorists at worst. Confederate and Loyalist forces regularly engage each other in scattered ground wars in several systems along the front. Anti Ship batteries and defenses make up for the Confederacy's meagre navy that is largly made of captured or salvaged craft and piloted by inexperienced crews or the odd defector. These defenseslitter the Confederate frontline and prevent any major push by the Galacian Navy, forcing the two to engage in extremely long and sometimes downright ferocious ground wars.

'''Alliances and Coalitions'''
 
−
* The Confederacy considers the [[USA]] To be an Ally, while their president will not make a formal acknowledgment on the matter, Contingents of USA Ground troops have assisted Confederate forces on a number of occasions.
 
−
* The Octan Corporation while by all accounts neutral, is a major partner with the Confederates.  Especially in R2016 when the Corporation began assisting the ZC by accumulating and then selling large amounts of equipment, especially combat vehicles for their war effort.
 
−
 
−
*'''[[Immortal War]]''' The ZC has no stance on the conflict and has no interest of ever becoming involved.
 
−
*'''[[AN-TA War]]''' The ZC Had no official stance during the war, and wished to remain neutral as it had sympathies with both sides during the conflict. It nearly sided with the AN, But the conflict ended before this could be finalized. This act would push the GR closer towards the nations of the [[Third Alliance]] for a time.
 
−
*'''Communo-Fascist Insurgency''' The ZC is largely uninvolved in this conflict, the ZC/GR war is more or less separate from the GR's battle with communist forces. In the end of 2016, the USSSR broke off support of the MSU, and the MSU sought an alliance with the Conglomerate, These events were largely forgotten to history as the MSU would later dissolve. Proving to be nothing more than an unreliable on-again, off-again ally in the separatist cause

'''The Conglomerate'''
 
−
The Conglomerate is the catch-all term used to refer to the corporation that succeeded Haliat-Armali. based in the Zaphor system on it's own space station, the Conglomerate is a multinational supercorporation that handles large amounts of foreign capital as well as dozens of rare element and mineral mining subsidiaries. and is responsible for development outside the Gold Sector, it's contributions at home are suspiciously limited. The Conglomerate essentially makes capital by dealing with outside companies and governments, and then funnels vast sums into propping up the Confederate Government and it's military, behind the curtain the Confederacy is in many ways, really just a puppet corptocracy

'''Confederate Army'''
 
−
The Confederacy claims to be it's own sovereign star faring empire with at least half a dozen colonized worlds. And thus it maintains it's own defense forces. The majority of the Confederacy's military is ground based as it cannot hope to go toe to toe with the Loyalist navy, The Rebel army is not a unified force, while their equipment and training is relatively of similar quality, full divisions and larger formations are led by commanders that are essentially warlords, some having entire planets to themselves and others forcing to share and sometimes fight amongst themselves
 
  
−
The Confederate Army make use of a mix of locally produced equipment, and some captured from loyalists. their soldiers are usually tough fighers, and fight with the incredible tenacity and zeal that comes with being outnumbered and outgunned. Rather than using a wide range of specialists like the Galacian Ground Forces, Confederate troops usually train in the use of many different weapons, and when special weapons or equipment are needed, they are brought into the battle and most troops are reasonably competent with them. While their training is less formal, their equipment is sometimes of inferior quality, and they generally are not able to field as many troops as their loyalist opponents, Rebel troops often can hold their own against Galacian regulars in small to medium fights. It is only in heavy artillery that they lose.  The Confederacy fields some of the same vehicles that the Loyalists do, but in much lower numbers. Overall the common regular ground force for the rebels focuses on a mix of hit and run and tenacious defensive tactics.

===Infantry===
  
 +
ZSC Infantry consists mostly of well trained and decentley equipped riflemen sporting squad level heavy weapons. Zagorian soldiers are considered to be almost on par with a Galacian Shock unit. The ZSC focuses on Quality over Quantity, and fills the numbers gap with Mercenaries.
  
  
 +
*'''Line''' - Regular frontal combat troops
 +
*'''Recon'''- Indirect combat troops who are called on to do things like spotting and sniping rather than fight in the trenches
 +
*'''Anti-Tank'''- Any unit that's primary purpose is to destroy enemy tanks and vehicles
 +
*'''Support''' - Any unit that's purpose is to improve or assist other units, whether by directley assisting allies, or indirectley assisting them in combat by providing fire support against the enemy for others.
 +
*'''Commando'''- Units that's sole purpose is to excel in killing other infantry and other minifigs
 +
*'''Commander''' - Command officers who are given responsibilities over Units and Territory during a battle
  
  
 +
*'''Regular''' - Units that recieve basic training for war, but really aren't expected to do anything but trade casualties with the enemy
 +
*'''Shock''' - Units that recieve assault oriented training, Usually superior to regulars and used to punch holes in enemy lines.
 +
*'''Elite''' - Top tier units that have great experience and skill in battle. Normally too valuable to waste in frontal combat but exceptions are sometimes made
 +
*'''Special''' - Not necessarily superior to Elite units, although they sometimes do, Special class infantry are units that defy categorization. They are often some of the most dangerous the Armiya has to offer.

The Zagorian Systems Conglomerate (Today just called the Systems Conglomerate or ZSC is a rather large alliance of systems in the South Gold Sector previously known as the Zagorian systems,who are largely dominated by corporations

History

Beginnings and Background

The Zagorian systems of the southern Elkossian Empire had always been a somewhat detached group of colonies that maintained their autonomy from capital. Several of the planets in these systems were also unusually rich in resources which would constantly make them a target in the eyes of the Capital's industrial sectors. These planets would be mined and stripped of resources, and very little of the benefits would see their way back to the southerners. If it hadn't been for the Peach war of R.2011, there might have been a rebellion in the south.

During and after the Peach war, Elkoss was devastated, and the Zagorian systems enjoyed a brief period of true independence. Although this wouldn't last. By the time the post-war succession struggle had ended on Elkoss, the new Galacian Republik would re-enter the south and "annex" the short-lived Zagorian Republik after a few skirmishes and pitched battles.

Tensions reached a boiling point in R.2016 After James Lahey was elected President of Galacia, and at the time, his cheif Military leader, Marshal Shulga enacted a plan to modernize and grow the Galacian army and navy, at the expense of the Republik's resource rich south. Planets were stripped bare, and colonists were subjected to almost indentured servitude conditions while they mined materials and built weapons. The unrest culminated in what was known as the Oplot uprising, the very moon of Galacia's capital was attacked by a Southern nationalist insurgent group called NAPA (NAtional-PArty). While they were eventually defeated, NAPA caused unprecedented amounts of destruction and humiliation to the Republik, and ultimately created a distinction of "Us vs them"

Effects of the Bakhacha Coup

For much of R.2016 and R.2017, Zagoria became a occupied police state, Zagorian rebels had become a serious threat to the stability of the Republik, and as much as a quarter of the Now Massive Galacian military was dedicated soley to fighting these rebels, however everything changed after the Outer Haven Incident. Shulga deposed Lahey, who later died. And the Galacian Republik was effectively cast out and replaced by Shulga's despotic Galacian Imperiya. Something then happened that no one would have expected, Under the leadership of Lahey's daughter Sarah, many "Republik Loyalists" who stood for demokracy, fled south and joined forces with the Zagorian Rebels.

Days later, as the Arhus Crisis escalated, and threatened to pull the entire western arms into a war of unfathomable scale, Shulga's Imperiya suddenley and unexpectedly signed a peace treaty with the Rebels, granting them their independence. At the time it looked like the Arhus Crisis was sure to escalate into full scale war, and Galacia and it's allies needed all available forces to commit to the frontline.

The price of Freedom

The Maripol Treaty established an immediate ceasefire between Imperiya and Rebel forces in the southern front of the Gold Sector conflict. As well as an exchange of territory, The generally accepted leader of the Zagorian Republik, President Bardak surrendered two colonies in exchange for peace, and recognition from their enemy. This caused a split within the faction, The Moderates were happy with peace, but many Nationalists and the Lahey Loyalists saw this as a "job not finished". Making things worse was in the chaos of the territory swap, the Galacian right wing nationalist group Cherhovna Bryhada first swept into the DMZ established by the treaty, and were then kicked out and invaded Zagoria proper. With many of the Republik's best troops abandoning the army or otherwise going rogue having been displeased with the results of the treaty, the remaining Zagorian Defence Forces were woefully unprepared for a counter-insurgency operation against the fully militarized Bryhada

USA Saves the Day

After months of fighting a losing battle against insurgents, and becoming a laughing stock of both the Gold Sector and the Western Arms, President Bardak pleaded for assistance at the AN, To which sympathetic politicians in the USA responded by lobbying to send a relief force into Zagoria to fight the Cherhovna Bryhada, and now also the Pirates and Criminals of the Syndikat. Operation Harvest Red was that rescue plan, and the USA swiftly routed the Bryhada and Syndikat in 3 weeks. Afterwards, Several USA companies and corporations began establishing relief efforts to rebuild Zagoria. The Zagorian government was naieve enough to believe this help came free, when secretley, the corporations had been dealing with the Disgruntled Demokratic Nationalists, and when the time was right, elections were rigged and the corporate lackey Rick Marshall was elected president.

Marshall Government

Zagoria after the election, would be re-packaged to the galaxy as the "Zagorian Systems Conglomerate" a faction that was the very embodiment of USA style "Freedom" and Marshall's new plan was to eventually re-open hostilities with the Imperiya, who were propagated as Authoritarian, almost communist Tyrants. Behind the scenes however, the Corporations, banded together and formed their own council to run their very own country. The "Zagorian" part of the moniker so fell out of use as Zagorian nationalism became less and less prevalent in the ambitions of the country as a whole. To the SC it didn't matte r where people came from as long as they worked for them.

The Conglomerate still largely functioned as many other countries did, in fact almost identical to that of the USA, but in reality their agenda was strictly to service the egos and ambitions of CEOs and businessmen, it's military force, originally comprising of freedom fighters, rednecks and rebels fighitng for the ideals of Liberty, Honor , Justice and the restoration of Demokracy, became incredibly polluted with mere Mercenaries who were loyal only to the next paycheck


The Rebel flag is still used by Zagorian Nationalists, particularly in the West Zagorian systems where tensions are still hot after the treaty

Organizations and Groups

Military

The Conglomerate Military is a mixture of Paramilitaries, Professional volunteer troops, and Mercenaries loyal to nothing but the next paycheck.

The Conglomerate Army make use of a mix of locally produced equipment, and some captured from loyalists. their soldiers are usually tough fighers, and fight with the incredible tenacity and zeal that comes with being outnumbered and outgunned. Rather than using a wide range of specialists like the Galacian Ground Forces, Confederate troops usually train in the use of many different weapons, and when special weapons or equipment are needed, they are brought into the battle and most troops are reasonably competent with them. While their training is less formal, their equipment is sometimes of inferior quality, and they generally are not able to field as many troops as their loyalist opponents, Rebel troops often can hold their own against Galacian regulars in small to medium fights. It is only in heavy artillery that they lose. The Confederacy fields some of the same vehicles that the Loyalists do, but in much lower numbers. Overall the common regular ground force for the rebels focuses on a mix of hit and run and tenacious defensive tactics.



Infantry

ZSC Infantry consists mostly of well trained and decentley equipped riflemen sporting squad level heavy weapons. Zagorian soldiers are considered to be almost on par with a Galacian Shock unit. The ZSC focuses on Quality over Quantity, and fills the numbers gap with Mercenaries.


  • Line - Regular frontal combat troops
  • Recon- Indirect combat troops who are called on to do things like spotting and sniping rather than fight in the trenches
  • Anti-Tank- Any unit that's primary purpose is to destroy enemy tanks and vehicles
  • Support - Any unit that's purpose is to improve or assist other units, whether by directley assisting allies, or indirectley assisting them in combat by providing fire support against the enemy for others.
  • Commando- Units that's sole purpose is to excel in killing other infantry and other minifigs
  • Commander - Command officers who are given responsibilities over Units and Territory during a battle


  • Regular - Units that recieve basic training for war, but really aren't expected to do anything but trade casualties with the enemy
  • Shock - Units that recieve assault oriented training, Usually superior to regulars and used to punch holes in enemy lines.
  • Elite - Top tier units that have great experience and skill in battle. Normally too valuable to waste in frontal combat but exceptions are sometimes made
  • Special - Not necessarily superior to Elite units, although they sometimes do, Special class infantry are units that defy categorization. They are often some of the most dangerous the Armiya has to offer.
