Tomastahl Sector

From EAW
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Sector for that is somewhat independant from the Local Sector that contains the original conflict of the Great War. While technically separate, it does not stop the participants from both sectors to move between the two. Current conflicts include the Telkevon-Nepharian Cold War, The Collection Conflict, and the Rift Incident. The Tomastahl Sector is a relatively underdeveloped area of the galaxy which is home to many younger races who may be forced to take sides or submit to other major powers moving into the area.

OOC - Allows the introduction of new races here. Very Heavy WIP

Races Involved[edit | edit source]

Remusian Republic[edit | edit source]

The entire Remusian mainland lies in the new sector, and as such has the largest presence in the sector(up for debate). Currently engaged in the Collection Conflict with the Collection. After the events of the Rift Incident the Republic broke off ties with the Repzork Empire and declared themselves allied to the Peacekeepers (Y17).

Sauran Solidarity[edit | edit source]

Pockets of Sauran colonies lies within the new sector, and have been established as allies with the Remusians in the new sector.

Telkevon Union[edit | edit source]

Directly involved in Telkevon-Nepharian Cold War and the Rift Incident. After the Rift Incident they declared the Remusians enemies of the empire, and remain enemies with the Sauran due to past events. Parts of the Telkevon mainland are in the Tomastahl Sector but are contested by the Nepharians.

History[edit | edit source]

Notable Colonies[edit | edit source]

Military Forces & Organization[edit | edit source]

Telkevon forces in Tomastahl are organized under the 88th Combined Armada, which is currently comprised of the 109th 'Radiant Hierophant', 252nd 'Hand of Golgolag', and the 489th 'Ghost Eaters' armadas. The 88th Combined is under overall command of Sector Marshal Tegar Zokonae. The 88th's current headquarters is the fortress world of Veradahl.

Tegar Zokonae[edit | edit source]

Sector Marshal Tegar Zokonae is a middle-aged officer originating from the Marines. He is a devoted follower of Saertu and a strict adherent to the Oltavaran code, to the point that he is generally cordial with any and all who have not personally wronged him, including those considered enemies of the empire. Nevertheless, as dictated by that same code, he will not hesitate to use whatever means are available to subdue his foes. Due to his past with the Marines & Navy, Tegar prefers short campaigns and precise, surgical strikes at key enemy positions over attrition and siege tactics. It was for this reason that Tegar was employed to lead Operation Dawnhammer.

Tegar also has a knack for propaganda. Having spent a great deal of time studying the Great War, he paints the Telkevon and the Pact cause in a sympathetic light, pointing out that it was the Peacekeepers who started the war, and that the Pact had formed in the interest of mutual defense. His meticulously-constructed campaign has proved a valuable asset in Dawnhammer for converting others to the Warlord cause.

109th Radiant Hierophant[edit | edit source]

The 109th Radiant Hierophant is an assault armada comprised of an unusually large number of auxiliaries. This is partly intentional, as while the armada was formed in a sector with a large client state population, the military quickly realized the potential propaganda value of such a force. Tegar likewise took note, and used the 109th as an example of the empire's just treatment of its loyal citizens. Some would thus be quick to write off the 109th as a token force, but they have continually proven as dedicated and loyal as any other armada. The 109th emphasizes attrition warfare and is called in when an enemy proves too resilient to break otherwise.

252nd Hand of Golgolag[edit | edit source]

The 252nd Hand of Golgolag is an assault armada that has taken the modern tactics of the Navy and Marines to a new extreme. They rely on shock & awe, terror tactics, and raw force to disorient and demoralize their foes. Their tendency to spare those who surrender in contrast to their notorious brutality has led to many foes to simply surrender rather than face the armada head on.

489th Ghost Eaters[edit | edit source]

The 489th Ghost Eaters is a small assault armada devoted to intelligence gathering, special operations, pacification, and guerilla warfare. Having been stationed in the contested zone since before the Great War, the Ghost Eaters have an intimate understanding of the region and are using this to sow chaos and collect followers ahead of the 109th and 252nd.

Holy Nepharian Empire[edit | edit source]

Directly involved in Telkevon-Nepharian Cold War, currently seeking the support of Peacekeepers to support its efforts in this conflict. Parts of the Nepharians mainland are in the new sector but are contested by the Telkevon.

Margan Empire[edit | edit source]

Margan of the Verdant Flail began pouring into Tomastahl to support the Repzork as part of Operation Dawnhammer, their task being the extermination of those who side with the Peacekeepers or who stubbornly cling to neutrality. This advance is spearheaded by Archon Kalos. The Repzork have used their arrival as another means of persuading aliens to join the empire by promising them protection from the dynasty.

Xenochytrids[edit | edit source]

The Xenochytrids of hive Ognir have a relatively small but growing presence in the sector, presenting a potentially existential threat to the Collection, whose machine bodies provide ample nourishment to the hive. Recent infestations of some Collection worlds have created a more established region of space for them that seems to be constantly expanding.
