A large group of ZCB soldiers

The Zakhidna Chervona bryhada (Sometimes spelled Cherhovna), (Western Red Brigade translated from Galacian Slavonik) is a far right ultranationalist paramilitary group operating in the west of the Gold Sector. The group was created shortly after current Galacian leader J. Lahey began his rule, The previous president, Stepan Tesarik had remained in the government as a regional governor, But after a few months had become increasingly paranoid and obsessed with fighting the "peach threat" in the sector and was unhappy with the current government and military's neglect of what he thought was a serious threat. Tesarik's hate and paranoia overtook him and eventually he abandoned his title of governor and fled west, The mostly lawless Ruby subsector had become a breeding ground of gangs, mercenaries and paramilitary groups. His celebrity garnered a lot of attention, and when he began propagating hardline, anti peach ultranationalist rhetoric, others took notice. Eventually like minded followers began to grow, and the movement became armed, and then militarized.

The Chervona Bryhada became a tumor on the Galacian Republik, Comprising almost entirely of Galacians, claiming to be loyal citizens although they had effectively gone rogue with their attacks on both peach civilians and peach states like the 45th Union, The Bryhada is considered a terrorist organization by the AN, However they are mostly contained to mostly a guerrilla operations in the western reaches of the Gold Sector and parts of the 45th Union. Bryhada soldiers have also been known to cooperate with other groups of a similar nature, like the Voza Korp from Trion. As well as state entities proper.

Bryhada soldiers are usually incredibly violent and tenacious, firm in their beliefs and confident in their "racial and intellectual superiority" They exhibit many of the same traits as some of the most far right nations in the galaxy

The ZCB is more of a heavily armed militia, than a standing army, they do not govern the planets that they inhabit, but rather leave them to their own devices. Bryhada soldiers are involved in a number of criminal and terrorist activities, Until R2017 the ZCB had focused entirely on campaigns against peach civilians and insurgent groups inside Galacia, bombings, mass shootings, space piracy, and in some areas campaigns of active insurgency. However by R2017 the Bryhada had effectively gone to war with several Peach empires outside of the gold sector.

On the eve of R2018, Cherhovna Bryhada had become fractured between two philosophies. Nationalism and Racism. The former camp followed the Bryhada's original goal of protecting the nation and fighting the battles the then Republik did not want to, and the latter became obsessed with extermination of peaches in general. Stepan Tesarik originally founded the group to follow both goals, but after the Republik was overthrown Tesarik ended up drifting into a racist psychopath much to the chagrin of his lieutenants. on the eve of R2018 he was killed by one of his lieutenants, and the hardcore racists were swiftly ousted from the organization. Hating peaches wasn't enough to be apart of the CB

Bryhada Units

Cherhovna Bryhada forces usually deploy a few platoons of troops and vehicles at most in a conflict, They are not equipped for combat across a long front, They specialize in the taking and holding of key positions through sheer determination, violence, and reckless abandon in combat.

Shturmovik - The frontline heavy infantry of the Bryhada Paramilitary forces, armed with some kind of captured rifle and grenades

Vazhkyy Shturmovik - Bryhada assault troops carrying overcompensating machineguns to rain hell on the enemy

Raketa Pikhota - Carrying devastating dual purpose GT Rocket propelled grenade launchers

Okhotnik - Deadly snipers carrying long range high powered rifles

Mortars - Light, troop portable artillery, useful for harassment and indirect fire, bolstering the bryhada's capabilities

Insurgent - Bryhada light infantry less suited for heavy combat, often deployed as auxiliaries or in urban environments.

Rocket Man - Light infantry using an array of captured rocket launchers against tanks and structures

Bryhada Officer - Bryhada officers typically wear customized armor, taken as battle trophies. They lead fighters in the field

Motor Pool Cherhovna Bryhada is not a standing army that recieves government funding, so much of their equipment is either black market, salvaged, or stolen. However they follow a doctrine of heavy armor and overwhelming firepower, making them a very serious threat. Most of their vehicles are heavily armored and those that are not, are fast and nimble

Trucks - Bryhada troops make heavy use of modified civilian vehicles as general transport

Katalazhka - Meaning "Slammer" in Galacian Slavonik, this is a heavy APC and general purpose truck that gets it's name for the Bryhada's tendancy to smash them right into enemy lines before disembarking to do battle

Boyova Tochka - Meaning "Battleaxe" in Galacian Slavonik, this is a twin barreled medium tank with heavy armor plating, high speed and two independent machineguns, arguably more powerful than the Gold Sector Staple, the "Kodiak II" Used by Loyalist and Southern Rebel forces
