The '''Commonwealth of Sailastra''', commonly known as '''Sailastra''', is a [[Non-Legacy Nation]] located in the [[Lyran Veil]]. It is a [[Small Power]] and a member of the [[League of Nations]]. The Commonwealth is traditionally aligned with the [[Axis Powers]], but has a history of political instability and insurrection.

== Foreign Influence and Civil Unrest ==
Unrest in the Commonwealth culminated in the [[Sailastra Civil War]], which lasted from July 2281 - March 2282 and was fought between the Axis-aligned Commonwealth government and an uprising centred around a pro-democracy provisional government. This coalition was headed by the liberal '[[Democratic League of Sailastra]]'. Despite political backing and material support from the [[United States of America]] and the [[Orion Treaty Organization]], the Democratic League was defeated following Axis intervention in the conflict - a result of a [[Spanish State|Spanish]] merchant vessel being downed during civilian evacuation efforts.

Following victory in its civil war, the Commonwealth has continued to align with the Axis Powers. This has proved controversial, particularly as the nation's economy becomes increasingly integrated with the Axis. Notably, a recent audit of Sailastra's industries led by [[Italian Social Republic|Italy]] resulted in a protest that escalated to violence between civilians and local police and security forces. The audit's condemnation of a majority of Sailastra's domestic firms has sparked anger and unrest, as critics expect wide-ranging shutdowns and hostile takeovers by [[Greater German Reich|German]] and Italian megacorporations.

High Republic of Whitehall

2025-12-24T01:40:22Z

AceofCarbon: Created page, added information from Whitehall bulletin.

{{Nation|name=High Republic of Whitehall|image=[[File:WhitehallFlag.png|center|315px]]|classification=[[Middle Power]]|lon-status=* [[League of Nations|Member State]]}}

The '''High Republic of Whitehall''', commonly known as '''Whitehall''', is a [[Non-Legacy Nation]] located in the [[Buyan Isles]]. It is a [[Middle Power]] and a member of the [[League of Nations]]. Due to its location, the nation has become a key, though controversial, ally of the [[United States of America]] and the [[Orion Treaty Organization]] in the region.

Whitehall's domestic policies have encouraged the development of a highly stratified economy, in which a small 'apex' class attains a high level of luxury through the labor of an under-compensated workforce. As a result of extreme inequality between classes and domestic policy, Whitehall's working class engages in widespread use of chemical suppressants, with over 90% of the population addicted to mood stabilizers, euphorics, or anti-anxiety drugs. A practice of extreme automation, cybernetics, and network intelligence further ensure that the working population, made docile by medicines and drugs, are tightly controlled and work to maintain an impossibly high standard of living for the apex class at little cost. This system has been described as a 'Sedation Economy', and is considered representative of the '[[Transhumanism|Transhumanist]]' ideology.

Whitehall's transhuman society is subject to controversy both domestically and abroad. Within the High Republic, sporadic civil unrest and uprising are generally poorly organised and easily put down likely as a result of the isolating effects of a chemically sedated society. Abroad, the nation is the target of heavy criticism, especially from [[Human Essentialism|Human Essentialists]] and human rights organisations. While Whitehall is a key resource in extending Western influence in the Buyan Isles and engages in arms deals with the USA, the Western nations are also facing internal political pressure to place an arms embargo against the High Republic. This movement is particularly prominent as media sources allege that Whitehall uses American weapons against its own citizens to put down internal revolts to maintain a system with one of the worst human rights records in the entire [[Orion Arm]].

* [[File:RomeFlag Waving.png|30px]] [[Pact of Rome]]|lon-status=* [[League of Nations|Member State]]}}
The '''Independent State of Mongibello''', commonly known as '''Mongibello''', Is a [[Non-Legacy Nation]] within the [[Elysian Fields]]. It is a [[Middle Power]], and a member of the [[League of Nations]], the [[Pact of Rome]], and the [[Axis Powers]].

Mongibello is known in the [[Elysian Fields]] for its wealth of natural resources. Its capital city, [[Typhos]], was initially settled along the [[Corona Rossa]] volcanic range as a mining and agricultural colony, aiming to take advantage of the plentiful mineral resources continually exposed by the frequent eruptions occurring there. The regular volcanic activity on the planet has allowed Mongibello to develop a regional monopoly on materials from precious metals to rare earth elements and exotic trace elements.

Mongibello and [[Typhos]] have also developed a reputation in the [[Elysian Fields]] for natural spectacle as a result of its volcanic environment. The planet experiences irregular seasons as a result of major volcanic eruptions that occur along the Corona Rossa volcanic range. As part of its active season-changing eruptive periods, the range also contributes to a popular natural phenomena. During these major eruption events, dust and ash from the volcanoes react with the planet's atmosphere to create streaks of crimson and gold that have become known as the "Winter Fires", a spectacle that attracts tourists from across the region and is celebrated as a natural wonder. The city of [[Typhos]] itself is built on the edge of the range, nestled among weaving rivers and streams of magma that flow from nearby volcanoes, creating a unique appearance that has made it a popular port of call and the focal destination for tourists travelling to experience Winter Fires.

Mediana Colonial Republic

25 December 2274|capital=[[Teagues]], [[Roseau]], [[Mediana Planetary System]]}}

The '''Mediana Colonial Republic''', commonly known as '''Mediana''', is a [[Non-Legacy Nation]] located in the [[Acadian Expanse]]. It is a [[Small Power]], a [[Colonial Republic]], and a member of the [[League of Nations]].

= History =

=== Pre-Acadian Wars ===
The Mediana planetary system was initially colonised as part of the [[Federation of Acadia]].

Before the breakup of the Acadian Federation and the beginning of the Acadian Wars, the planet [[Roseau]] had been a central point in smuggling routes that operated across Acadia. Smugglers made use of the "Bodie Metro", a network of illegal routes between the planet's three largest cities - Leafield, Rosaria, and Teagues - that had been established from the earliest days of Roseau's colonisation. This network circumvented established government infrastructure using the natural geography of the region, making particular use of winding waterways and underground tunnel systems that were obscured by thick jungles and mangrove swamps. Travellers using these routes had to overcome natural obstacles, local predators and disasters such as flash floods.

=== Breakup of the Acadian Federation ===
On 9 August 2274, during the early stages of the break up of the [[Federation of Acadia]], federal forces were deployed to positions throughout [[Roseau]] to defend in case of attack. By this point, the situation had become severe enough that the Acadian military was positioning units considered unreliable in rural areas to limit their ability to attempt coups or strike key targets in cities.

The independence of Mediana was declared on the 25th of December, 2274, and a nationalist government was organised in Teagues, Roseau.

As a result of Roseau's already established smuggling network, the planet became a key site for managing logistics and the transport of military materiel over the course of the war. The [[Acadian National Army]] had already begun coopting the Bodie Metro as covert trails and an early logistics network by the 2260s. By the late 2270s, the region was being used to support clandestine troop and equipment movements through multiple star systems, to the extent that by 2278 up to half of the foreign materiel employed by the Acadian National Army and secessionist forces during the Acadian Wars had been transported through Roseau's Three Cities.

=== American Intervention and Withdrawal ===
In 2278, the [[United States of America]] led a coalition to intervene in the [[Acadian Wars]], aiming to prevent the dissolution of the [[Federation of Acadia]]. Mediana became a theatre of this intervention in the region in the early stages of American involvement, with American troops making landfall on Roseau on the 14th of August, 2278. The aim of the coalition's operations on the planet was to destroy ANA forces present and disrupt the supply routes that had been coopted by secessionist forces. American intervention in Mediana was focused on the Bodie Coast, a rugged region dominated by hilly jungles and extensive waterways that contained the three largest cities on Roseau.

During the early stages of the operation, Roseau was considered a minor theatre - just one landing site among hundreds - despite the planet's role as a centre of interstellar smuggling networks in the [[Acadian Expanse]]. While American intervention was initially successful, it rapidly devolved into urban and jungle guerrilla warfare.

By 2282, ANA logistics had developed to the point that smuggling routes on the Bodie Coast had become relatively unimportant, further diminishing the theatre's importance in the eyes of the coalition. This led to a reduction of American forces present in the system, for both those on the ground and the naval forces present in orbit of Roseau. Following this reduction in strength, an American-Acadian naval group was forced to withdraw from the system by ANA naval forces which established a blockade of Mediana, forcing a situation on Roseau for almost 2 weeks where, for the first time in American military history, United States troops fought in a theatre where the enemy held orbital supremacy. This marked a significant blow to American military prestige.

Particularly embarrassing for the [[United States Army]] was the 99 day siege of [[Firebase Hector]] in 2283, an outpost between the Three Cities centred around REFLEX BOW Radar Station. Despite an eventual military victory by American forces, the station was abandoned by May of the same year - the first retreat in a total withdrawal from Roseau.

=== Post-Acadian Wars ===
Following the end of the Acadian Wars, conflict continued throughout the Bodie Coast on Roseau between government forces and nationalist groups. In 2285, the now infamous site of [[Firebase Hector]] was occupied by the [[July 17 Brigade]], a fascist guerrilla group backed by the [[Axis Powers]].

'''Firebase Hector''' was a [[United States Army|U.S. Army]] installation located in the Stan River Valley on the Bodie Coast of [[Roseau]], in the [[Mediana Planetary System]], [[Acadian Expanse]]. Between January 2279 and May 2283, it supported Coalition Forces across the Bodie Coast as part of the [[Three Cities Campaign]]. It was abandoned in 2283 after a major ANA counter-attack laid siege to the base for 99 days, an attack that has since entered [[United States of America|United States]] military history.

=History=

==REFLEX BOW Radar Station==
The series of hills on the Bodie Coast that Firebase Hector would later occupy was first developed in 2248 during the construction of the AFN-FQMR-13 “REFLEX BOW” tracking array. The site was chosen for its strategic location; high ground roughly equidistant from Roseau’s three largest cities, [[Leafield]], [[Rosaria]] and [[Teagues]]. Between 2250 and 2274, the array provided fire control, receiving, search and transmitting capabilities to the [[Federal Acadian Air Force|Acadian Air Force]] and [[Federal Acadian Navy|Navy]], throughout the Mediana System.

==Breakup of the Acadian Federation==
On 9 August 2274, during the initial stages of the [[Acadian Wars|Acadian War]], federal forces were deployed to the Stan Valley and took positions in the hills surrounding REFLEX BOW to protect the array from nationalist attack. The 4th Brigade, 2nd Droptroops of the Acadian Army had been specifically chosen for this assignment due to concerns over their loyalty to the Federal government. It was one of many such "unreliable" units redeployed away from the cities, a tactic by the planetary government aimed at avoiding a military coup.

This proved to be a miscalculation. When the [[Mediana Colonial Republic]] was declared on 25 December, the units guarding REFLEX BOW universally recognized the nationalist government established in Teagues.

Just weeks later on 11 January 2275, during an ill-fated Federal counter attack into the star system, REFLEX BOW was targeted from orbit and partially disabled. This coincided with a brief but bloody air-assault, in which the nationalist defenders inflicted staggering losses against dismounted enemy soldiers forced to ascend the unfamiliar, rugged ground.

In 2277, the AFS Davenport, was destroyed in the outer Mediana Star System, using targeting information likely provided by the array.

==American Use==
In August of 2278, during the US intervention into the Acadian War, American forces retook the Stan Valley, including REFLEX BOW, as part of what would become the [[Three Cities Campaign]]. Though thoroughly damaged and now of limited use across the star system, the site was repurposed as a communications hub. The remnants of the array were occupied by the US Signal Corps, and supplemented with new equipment set up in the damaged facility.

American positions in the Stan Valley were further developed into a Forward Operating Base in January of 2279 to support the ongoing fighting in the Three Cities. Of particular concern was the amount of foreign weaponry that had entered the Acadian War through the so called "Bodie Metro" - the final route of an interstellar smuggling network.

A basic weather station and improvised landing strip were initially added, but were later replaced with more permanent structures. That same month, the 434th Assault Support VTOL Company, “Innkeepers”, became one of the first units assigned to the strip. Their craft provided troop and cargo transport, medical evac, recovery capability, and other support as the Three Cities campaign progressed. The modifications and creature comforts the Innkeepers added to the base established a precedent subsequent units deployed to the site would build on. Upon completion, the landing strip site was distinguished within the base as "Hill 1", with the REFLEX BOW array on "Hill 0".

==Firebase Hector==
Between 2279 and 2281, the base was continually expanded and fortified as the American commitment to the Acadian War intensified. This expansion included a larger garrison, logistic support areas, and eventually batteries of field guns, missile emplacements and layered [[Aerospace Fighter|aerospace]] denial systems. A wider perimeter to deter enemy attacks was also established. To properly reflect its new role, the base was named Firebase Reflex in the fall of 2281. It was soon renamed to honor Staff Sergeant [[Isabella Hector]], killed in action in the Stan Valley, 29 September 2281.

During the Three Cities Campaign, personnel based at Hector reportedly fired over 300,000 shells in support of Coalition forces in the cities of Leafield, Rosaria and Teagues.

Amidst a wider strategic realignment of Coalition forces following the Battle of Cartier, personnel were withdrawn from Firebase Hector and its surrounding outposts, from a peak of 34,984 personnel in 2279 down to 11,871 in 2281.

==The Siege of Firebase Hector==
During the [[Christmas Offensive]], American forces in the Bodie Coast faced a direct assault from seven ANA divisions. The attacking forces had covertly prepositioned equipment and infiltrated the entire region in the months leading up to the attack. Well supplied through their pervasive smuggling networks, ANA objectives were to prevent Firebase Hector from being used as a landing site, and degrade its ability to provide fire support while similar attacks occurred throughout the Three Cities.

The siege of Firebase Hector began on 28 December 2281, The attacks were focused on Outposts Hitman, Hannibal, and Horseshoe, fortified sites on the outer perimeter that each controlled a surrounding hilltop. Hector itself faced a barrage of rocket fire and artillery attacks from concealed emplacements throughout the Bodie Coast. By 1 January, Hitman and Hannibal had been overrun, while Horseshoe could be only narrowly reinforced and supplied through a single mountain passage. Hector itself had used almost half its stocks of munitions and its own resupply was threatened. With fighting escalating throughout the Three Cities, and American efforts focused there, Firebase Hector was increasingly isolated and vulnerable.

===The Mediana Blockade===
On 13 January 2283, Firebase Hector came under orbital bombardment from warships of the National Acadian Navy. This event marked the first instance in US military history, in which an American unit was subjected to direct fire from hostile craft in high orbit, and fought in a contested interstellar battlespace. During this period, American forces in Firebase Hector endured roughly two days of bombardment before orbital supremacy was re-established. Within the first five days, the entire outer perimeter was overrun or isolated, and ANA forces had entered the central perimeter itself. On the seventh day, Hector’s artillery batteries began providing direct fire with HEKS rounds directly into ANA forces.

On 16 January, a US Navy task force broke the blockade during the over Mediana. During the fighting, anti-orbital munitions fired from Firebase Hector were credited with scoring five kills on ships of the National Acadian Navy. Effective ground fire from the base was further credited with limiting the effectiveness of the Acadian’s orbital superiority.

The base endured severe attacks for the next month, only partially reinforced and supplied while the situation throughout Mediana developed. The siege was effectively broken on 29 March.

==Abandonment==
Firebase Hector was never fully repaired after the siege, and its personnel had been largely withdrawn from the site by June of that year. This coincided with the final phase of the Acadian War, as the United States began to pursue a negotiated settlement to end the fighting. It was fully evacuated and remaining equipment was destroyed at some point before the end of year.

In 2285, the former site of Firebase Hector was occupied by a fascist guerilla group.
