Imperiya

Military

The Imperiya's military is bar none, the strongest individual power of the realm. This comes from a vast arsenal of specialists, elite troops and a fully equipped motor pool. Their greatest strength is the ability to exploit others weaknesses.. with force. Deploying forces the enemy has no hard counter for... and in overwhelming numbers. The land forces of the Imperiya are larger than the next 5 competitors combined..

Imperiya's military has two main divisions.

• Armiya - The Ground Forces, the conventional Army using heavy vehicles and massed ground assaults against the enemies of their agenda
• Kosmoflota - The Fleet Forces, Using Medium to large sized vehicles known as fleet ships to bombard ground targets, transport Marines over long distances over the plates, and do battle with other fleets in the void above the plates, The realm's equivalent to space

Armiya

The Imperiya Armiya is experienced, sophisticated, and uptight. Deploying large units of Regular, Veteran, Elite and Special Forces soldiers. And lots of heavy Armor and transports.

Reform of R2020

The Imperiya Armiya has always been a force with a convoluted system of bureaucracy and pecking orders. Previously, the army had no fewer than FIVE "tiers" of Infantry unites. Greatly reducing the effectiveness and ease of deployment of forces.

• Prior to The 2020 reforms, the Armiya had the following service tiers within it's infantry formations.
  • Irregulars
  • Regulars
  • Veteran Shock
  • Elite Shock
  • Special Forces

Starting in R2020. The System was downgraded to "Three and a half" tiers. Irregular units were more or less released from official service. This allowed subfactions like the Sindrian Diktat and Kurosai Buntai to come about. This constituted the "half"

• The remaining tiers were divided into three categories
  • Armiya Regulars, Continued to be the rank and file grunts of the Army with no real changes aside from some minor differences in commissioned officer uniforms. The VDV Dropship troops were demoted from Elite Status all the way down to Regular, filling the role of light infantry scouts.
  • Amiya Shock Corps, The Shock Troopers, or "Shturmovik" once had both veteran, and elite troop types. For the most part they have been merged together. New uniforms were issued largely based on the Elite armor, Squad leaders, Shield troops and Heavy weapons squads were given completely new looks, and for the most part the corps became more diverse, inheriting the specialists of both tiers. As a result though. The experience level of the Corps as a whole degraded, and to pay for the costs of upgrading a quarter of the Army to better equipment, the Corps had to decomission it's advanced service rifle and revert back to the standard issue pulse rifle. The Advanced weapons were sold to the Syndikat to pay for the costs.
  • Armiya Spetsnaz, the Special forces for the most part remained the same albeit with a name change. Some individuals from the Elite Shock forces were promoted into Spetsnaz units, the VDV unit however, was relegated to a Regular unit. Scouts riding in dropships wasn't deemed special enough to be worthy of the title.

Malka Siege Tank
	Size: 5"			Armor: 4d10			The Malka is a "Siege Tank" which is a designation for an artillery vehicle meant for destroying structures. But it is still no less capable as a direct combat unit. The Malka's "Molotok" gun is a force of nature, any minifig caught in it's blast will not escape without grevious wounds at best, and completely vaporized at worst. Capable of flattening structures and tossing small and medium vehicles like a ragdoll. The Malka is only used when the Imperiya is looking to burn someone hard. It's rangefinder allows it to fire on an arc at targets not directley in it's line of sight, at a range up to 40" away, a truly long distance. The Malka cannot engage anything that is less than 10 inches away, meaning it has a minimum range. However it's explosives are so powerful that even a missed shot will likely hit it's target indirectley. Each skill roll below 5 will result in the round being 5" off target in a random direction .
