Military of Hergom ep Swekorwos

Hergom stands out in the region of Gotha for its robust and sophisticated military establishment, a reflection of its strategic foresight and substantial investment in defence. This sector is not just a bulwark of national security but also a significant economic driver, accounting for an impressive 40 to 45% of the government's budget. The substantial financial commitment to the military underscores its indispensable role in the nation's overarching framework of security and economic stability.

In a departure from traditional military structures, Hergom's defense system is uniquely composed of two separate yet interconnected military entities, each with overlapping roles but distinct in identity and function. This dual-system, deeply embedded in the nation’s ethos, is a reflection of the complex interweaving of Hergom's societal, cultural, and historical elements.

The Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon, or "The Bound Tribal Strength," is the more prominent force, embodying professionalism and serving as a major employment source for the Wolgos and, to a lesser extent, the Shriaav males. This force is not just a testament to Hergom’s military might but also a platform for fostering national unity. Servicemen are bound by an oath that transcends tribal loyalties, thus promoting a strong sense of collective identity and purpose. The Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon plays a critical role in the nation's defence, commanding the majority of Hergom's naval and air capabilities and thus forming the backbone of the nation's military prowess.

Conversely, the Hlrike, though smaller in scale, holds a position of considerable respect and influence. It carries forward the legacy and traditions of The Bind and Dhonowlgos, making it not just a military unit but a custodian of Hergom's rich historical and cultural heritage. Reserved for homosexual male Wolgos, the Hlrike is distinguished by its specialized, technologically advanced navy and air force, well-supported by both state funding and its own holdings. This combination of historical significance and advanced capabilities lends the Hlrike a unique place in Hergom's military landscape.

The interaction between the Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon and the Hlrike is marked by a pragmatic spirit of cooperation and shared resources. Their joint use of strategic infrastructures such as dry docks, ports, and airfields showcases a unified approach to national defense and an efficient synergy in military operations.

The coexistence of the Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon and the Hlrike within Hergom’s military framework provides a multifaceted defence strategy, combining a broad operational reach with specialized capabilities. This not only ensures a robust defence mechanism but also preserves the unique cultural and social fabric of Hergom, establishing the military as a symbol of national strength, unity, and heritage.

Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon

The Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon, emerging in the wake of Hergom's formation, signify a pivotal chapter in the nation's military and social evolution. Initially conceived as a confederation of tribal militias during the early settlement of Kupeya, their genesis was rooted in the necessity to assert dominion over the new lands and counterbalance the influence of the formidable Hlrike, breaking their monopoly on military force.

In the nascent stages, the Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon operated as loosely organized bands of Haiter riders, led by commissioned officers. Their primary roles involved safeguarding settlements through infantry militias and extending Wolgos rule through cavalry raids against the native populations. This period marked the Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon's rudimentary yet crucial role in establishing Wolgos presence and authority in Kupeya.

As the Wolgos foothold in Kupeya solidified, the Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon underwent a significant transformation, reformed with insights and assistance from the Hlrike. This collaboration facilitated the evolution of the Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon into a professional and structured military force, marking a transition from a coalition of militias to an organized entity equipped to operate across various domains of warfare. The advent of industrial development further bolstered this transformation, enabling the Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon to establish formidable armor divisions, an advanced airforce, and a formidable navy, significantly enhancing their strength and operational capabilities.

The Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon's ethos and operational philosophy starkly contrast with the Hlrike's. Known for their moderation and broader recruitment base, the Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon offer salaried positions to the general male Wolgos populace and enlist male Shriaav to fortify their ranks, particularly in military police roles. Service in the Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon is not just a job; it's a prestigious career path, laden with benefits that extend beyond the individual to their families. From generous salaries and comprehensive equipment provision to family support in the form of educational opportunities for children and stipends for spouses, the Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon represent not just a military force but a gateway to social stability and prosperity.

While the army and navy form the backbone of the Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon, with a substantial portion of recruits serving in these branches, the airforce is a beacon of prestige. It's an arena marked by competitiveness and excellence, where service is synonymous with honor and privilege, accompanied by exclusive perks and recognition.

The standard equipment issued by the Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon is a testament to the force's commitment to quality and effectiveness. However, recognizing the diverse needs and preferences of its servicemen, the Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon also hosts an equipment market. This marketplace offers premium, customized variants of standard gear, catering to those seeking an edge or a personal touch in their equipment. Furthermore, it serves the civilian populace by providing access to popular military-grade items like boots, uniforms, and coats, blurring the lines between military and civilian spheres and integrating the force more deeply into the societal fabric.

H2egmegh2 (Army)

Main article: H2egmegh2

The H2egmegh2, the Wolgos army, is a formidable force characterized by its adaptability and strategic depth. Drawing from the wolgos nature, the army's operations are marked by a blend of stealth, tactical precision, and decisive aggression. Their approach to warfare is not driven by notions of honor or fairness but by the pragmatic need to maintain balance and superiority. The Wolgos soldiers are trained to exploit their physical prowess and psychological manipulation to dominate the battlefield. The army's structure and tactics are designed to maximize these innate advantages, ensuring that encounters can favourably tilt the balance in their favour when possible.

• Infantry

The infantry, forming the backbone of the H2egmegh2, showcases the Wolgos' physical strength and combat prowess. Despite their inherent superiority in physical engagements, the Wolgos infantry must contend with their species' sensitivity to sunlight. To mitigate this vulnerability, they are equipped with specialized uniforms, including balaclavas and long leather gloves, designed to protect their skin from the sun's harmful rays. This protective gear allows them to operate effectively in daylight conditions, ensuring that their combat effectiveness remains uncompromised.

The recruitment of Shriaav men into the army has enhanced the operations of the force by providing units with more nimble movement in the battlefield. the Wolgos are often too large for some  delicate urban operations which are better suited to the Shriaav.

• Armoured Divisions and Cavalry

The armoured divisions and cavalry of the H2egmegh2 boast an impressive array of vehicles, ranging from light to ultra-heavy tanks, personnel carriers, and high-mobility, high-weapon platform vehicles. These units are the iron fist of the Wolgos military, capable of delivering devastating blows to the enemy while providing critical support to infantry units. The versatility of these armoured units, combined with their advanced technology and the Wolgos' innate tactical acumen, makes them a formidable force on any battlefield. The Haiter is used as a ceremonial mount by the H2egmegh2, they use a different array of decorations to those of the Hlrike.

• Artillery and Tactical Nuclear Capabilities

The artillery units within the H2egmegh2 are a cornerstone of their strategic operations, providing essential support to both infantry and armoured units. A significant asset within this segment is the rocket artillery, capable of delivering conventional and low-yield nuclear warheads. This capability allows the Wolgos to tailor their tactical responses to various threats, ensuring they can deliver precise and powerful strikes when required. The presence of nuclear artillery adds a layer of deterrence.

• Anti-Air Defense and Army Aviation

The anti-air defense chapters of the H2egmegh2 are tasked with protecting Wolgos forces from aerial threats. Equipped with advanced missile systems and radar technology, these units form a protective shield over the battlefield, safeguarding their forces from enemy aircraft and missiles.

In support of their ground operations, the army aviation chapter plays a pivotal role in bolstering the logistics and mobility of the H2egmegh2. This chapter operates a fleet of large personnel and cargo airplanes, as well as zeppelins, ensuring that troops and supplies can be rapidly deployed and sustained across various theatres of operation. The strategic use of air transport assets significantly enhances the operational flexibility and reach of the Wolgos military.

Wodr̥h2ekmon (Navy)

Main article: Wodr̥h2ekmon

The strategic posture and operational intricacies of Hergom's naval forces underscore a comprehensive and multifaceted approach to asserting maritime dominance, particularly when considering the geopolitical challenges presented by the impassable Raian and Negasi canals. The deliberate emphasis on a versatile navy, prioritizing range, speed, and stealth, coupled with robust air support, manifests a profound understanding of contemporary naval strategy. This strategy acknowledges that modern maritime conflict transcends traditional large-scale ship-to-ship engagements, demanding instead a nuanced blend of technological innovation and tactical adaptability.

The distinct composition of the fleets—Himarian-Antarctic and Asherian-Antarctic, poised for blue water operations and offensive maneuvers, contrasted with the specialized regional dominance of the Phasian fleet—illustrates a meticulously structured maritime doctrine. The imposed isolation of the Phasian fleet, necessitated by OSSO's hostility and consequent blockade of strategic canals, mandates a significant degree of operational self-sufficiency and strategic independence.

The contemplation of tactical nuclear strikes in contingency planning underscores the gravity of the geopolitical chessboard, revealing Hergom's readiness to engage in extreme measures to secure maritime dominance and preclude adversary reinforcement. This stance signals a formidable deterrence strategy, willing to employ overwhelming force to maintain the status quo and assert dominance.

The fleet's structure, harmonizing a multitude of nimble vessels with a prestigious contingent of larger, more potent ships, denotes a balanced and versatile approach to naval warfare. The presence of aircraft carriers, albeit limited in number, significantly amplifies Hergom's blue water capabilities and global power projection. The larger vessels, beyond their symbolic prestige, offer substantial tactical advantages, rendering them critical assets for establishing blockades and conducting coastal sieges. When these capabilities are combined with robust air support and potent missile systems, they transform into pivotal platforms for asserting control and exerting pressure in strategic maritime regions.

The comprehensive submarine fleet, particularly with specialized classes like the Morigwih₃o, Dhengwmeh₂r, and the notably formidable Deywosmeh₂tu, highlights a commitment to maintaining a formidable presence beneath the waves. The diverse attributes of these submarines, ranging from stealth and agility to the Deywosmeh₂tu class's overwhelming firepower and multi-role capacity, underscore Hergom's dedication to sustaining a technologically advanced and tactically versatile naval force.

In the backdrop of this substantial naval investment is an economy heavily reliant on industry and driven by a need to maintain a certain social order, suggesting a profound national commitment to military capability and preparedness. The ranking of the Wolgos navy as one of the top three most expensive in Gotha not only reflects the sheer scale of resources allocated but also signifies the strategic importance that Hergom attributes to nurturing and advancing its naval prowess amidst a complex and potentially volatile global stage.

Dyeubherh2 (Air force)

Main article: Dyeubherh2

The Dyeubherh2, the air force of the Wolgos, symbolizes the pinnacle of their military might and technological prowess. With a focus on precision and superiority, the air force operates as the eyes and talons of the Wolgos military. The pilots are among the elite of their society, embodying the Wolgos' innate drive for dominance and perfection. The aircraft are designed not only for combat but also for psychological impact, embodying the Wolgos' belief in the power of fear and respect. The roar of their engines and the sleekness of their design serve as a constant reminder of the Wolgos' quest for supremacy in the skies.

Enteropeh2wr̥ Weg (Nuclear Force)

The strategic landscape of Hergom's nuclear capability reflects a nuanced balance between international disarmament efforts and the maintenance of a formidable deterrent arsenal. The consensus among nuclear powers to decommission ICBMs and restrict the range of nuclear ballistic delivery methods to two thousand kilometers is a significant stride towards reducing the potential for long-range nuclear conflict. However, the debate around the compliance of submarine-based nuclear forces, even with restricted ballistic ranges, underscores the complexities and ambiguities in international arms control agreements.

Hergom's nuclear arsenal is both diverse and sophisticated, reflecting a strategic approach to deterrence and tactical flexibility. The stockpile of four thousand variable yield H3ogh warheads, with yields ranging from 10, 20 to 60 kilotons, illustrates a focus on versatile tactical nuclear options, primarily designed for rocket artillery delivery. This capability allows for a tailored nuclear response, potentially limiting collateral damage in conflict scenarios. Additionally, the presence of a thousand 250-kiloton Khwodh Mk2 warheads, designated for long-range bomber delivery, and two hundred legacy 12-megaton Rilghir Mk1 warheads, originally designed for ICBMs but now retrofitted for bomber deployment, underscores Hergom's commitment to maintaining a credible strategic nuclear deterrent.

The governance of nuclear weapon deployment in Hergom is notably stringent, with the use of nuclear weapons exceeding 10 kilotons requiring unanimous authorization from the Gweḱwōntiyo Hregwes. The Heghnom Kawisoos holds a critical veto power in this decision-making process, ensuring an additional layer of deliberation and caution. This mechanism underscores a commitment to responsible stewardship of nuclear capabilities, aligning with global norms of nuclear governance and reducing the risk of rash or unilateral nuclear deployment.

The Enteropeh2wr̥ Weg, with its multiple failsafes, exemplifies Hergom's commitment to ensuring that nuclear weapons are used only with proper authority, reflecting a broader international consensus on the need for robust command and control systems to prevent unauthorized or accidental nuclear launches. The decision to keep all weapons of 10 kilotones under the authority of the Teuteh₂leigh₂ekmon is a worry to ICoN as these nuclear weapons could in theory be used more liberally by Hergom's military.

Hergom's restraint in the use of nuclear weapons, its adherence to ICoN agreements on testing limitations, and the absence of atmospheric tests for over a decade demonstrate a commitment to abide by international agreements. This approach not only aligns with international non-proliferation and arms control norms but also contributes to regional and global stability by reducing the risks associated with Wolgos nuclear testing and proliferation of which keeps other powers uneasy.

Plākweg (Coast guard)

The Plākweg serves as the formidable coast guard of Hergom ep Swekorwos, tasked with the monumental responsibility of safeguarding an extensive and complex maritime domain. This domain encompasses a vast coastline dotted with thousands of islands, each presenting unique challenges and requiring specialized oversight. The remarkable climatic diversity of Hergom, ranging from the subtropical regions in the north to the tempestuous Antarctic and South Phasian oceans, necessitates a highly adaptable and versatile coast guard operation. To address this diversity, the Plākweg is organized into specialized chapters, each expertly tailored to operate effectively in their respective climatic zones, ensuring vigilant and competent maritime governance.

The northern chapters of the Plākweg excel in managing the subtropical waters, while those stationed along the homeland coasts adeptly navigate the temperate maritime environment. The chapters dedicated to the rough and tumultuous waters of the Antarctic and South Phasian oceans are specially equipped and trained to face the relentless challenges posed by these regions. Furthermore, the force boasts powerful icebreakers, a testament to their capability and readiness to patrol and safeguard the remote and icy expanses of the Antarctic ice cap coast.

In an intriguing blend of traditional maritime practices and strategic partnerships, the Plākweg maintains a symbiotic relationship with Wolgos pirates known for their ventures into the Phasian and Shangti oceans. This alliance is based on mutual support and emergency assistance, reflecting a pragmatic approach to maritime governance and safety. However, the Plākweg also upholds its duty to regulate and secure Hergom's maritime trade interests. It vigilantly prevents these pirates from encroaching on state-sanctioned trade lanes leading to and from the bustling Wolgos bazaar ports, ensuring the sanctity and security of vital economic corridors.

Moreover, the Plākweg is not solely a maritime patrol and defence force; it also embodies the role of a maritime custodian and regulator. The coast guard's customs and duty chapters are integral in maintaining the legal and economic order within Hergom's territorial waters. They are proficient in identifying and apprehending interlopers, safeguarding the nation's maritime boundaries against unauthorized incursions, and ensuring that the waters of Hergom remain a domain governed by law, order, and strategic cooperation.

Hlrike

The Hlrike are a manifestation of the enduring legacy and resilience of the Wolgos, guardians of ancient traditions who have adeptly navigated the shifting currents of history. This revered force, tracing its origins to the ancient Dhonowlgos, serves not only as a military bastion but also as a custodian of deep-rooted cultural norms, especially resonant among homosexual Wolgos who are traditionally compelled to join its ranks, thus committing themselves to the safeguarding of their people and interests.

From their early days, the Hlrike were celebrated for their mastery in cavalry and heavy armour, their forces bolstered by peasant irregulars and organized in a strict hierarchy that revered the Haiter as their prime mount. As the sands of time shifted, so did the Hlrike, reshaping their structure and tactics to align with contemporary military standards, yet steadfastly preserving their distinctive essence. The organization today is marked by a clear hierarchy, with Gallant ranks reflecting the positions of enlisted ranks and non-commissioned officers, a tier of knights comparable to commissioned officers, and the esteemed Paladin ranks crowning the structure.

Beyond their military prowess, the Hlrike represents a distinct subculture within the broader Wolgos society, known for its enigmatic and often violent customs. Residing in secluded compounds, they adhere to traditions that, while steeped in history and significance, might appear obscure and foreboding to outsiders. Their culture is an intricate blend of artistic expression, deeply rooted in the Wolgos faith, a profound embrace of their unique sexual orientation, an unwavering commitment to militarism, reverence for violence, and an unshakable belief in the superiority of the Wolgos sub-species. This blend of cultural depth and martial discipline commands a mix of respect, reverence, and wary apprehension within the larger Wolgos society.

Ranks and Relationships

In the ranks of the Hlrike, personal relationships are not merely private affairs; they are deeply interwoven into the very fabric of the force's structure and ethos. This unique dynamic, where the contours of personal lives blend seamlessly with military rank and duty, sets the Hlrike apart, creating a distinct and tightly-knit community within the broader Wolgos society.

At the heart of this system is the principle of service and hierarchy, where the junior partner in a relationship aligns themselves with the senior-ranked Wolgos. The junior partner, often referred to as a squire, is not just a companion but also a devoted aide, combining the roles of a confidant, supporter, and apprentice. This role transcends the conventional notions of rank and file, infusing elements of loyalty, personal development, and mutual respect into the military regimen.

The squire, bound by both affection and duty, is intimately involved in the life and career of the senior partner. This involves not just assistance in daily routines and personal affairs but also a deep involvement in the senior partner's professional life. The squire is expected to understand, support, and, when necessary, actively contribute to the senior partner's military responsibilities. This might involve logistical support, strategic counsel, or even direct involvement in operations, depending on the senior partner's rank and role within the Hlrike.

This blending of personal and professional lives fosters a unique camaraderie and solidarity within the Hlrike. The bonds formed through these relationships are profound, often lasting a lifetime, and extend beyond the individuals to create a network of interconnected relationships, reinforcing the communal fabric of the force. The resulting trust and understanding enhance operational effectiveness, as units composed of individuals with such closely tied bonds tend to demonstrate high levels of coordination, mutual support, and unwavering commitment to each other and their shared objectives.

Moreover, this system also plays a crucial role in the mentoring and development of the junior partners. Through close association with the senior-ranked members, squires gain invaluable insights into leadership, strategy, and the nuances of military operations, ensuring a continuous cultivation of skills and knowledge within the Hlrike. This not only prepares the next generation of leaders but also ensures that the force's ancient traditions and tactical prowess are preserved and passed down, remaining vibrant and effective in the modern era.

Reputation outside Hergom

The legacy of the Hlrike, though steeped in the valour and traditions of ancient Wolgos, is inexorably tainted by a pervasive and deeply ingrained culture of violence. Their approach to warfare is not merely about achieving strategic objectives but also about instilling terror, a deliberate and calculated use of brutality that has become their signature on the battlefield. This aspect of their character has churned the stomach of the international community and cast a long, dark shadow over their storied history.

In the theatre of war, the Hlrike are not just combatants; they are harbingers of dread, wielding psychological terror as deftly as physical weaponry. Their tactics are designed to not only overpower but to demoralize and dehumanize their adversaries. The gruesome fate of those who fall into their hands is not merely a consequence of conflict but a carefully orchestrated spectacle of suffering, aimed at breaking the spirit of their enemies and showcasing their own dominance and ruthlessness.

The coalition wars laid bare the harrowing essence of the Hlrike's approach to warfare. Captives were not only subdued but subjected to unspeakable acts of violence and degradation, their fates a stark testament to the Hlrike's merciless nature. Survivors, scarred both physically and mentally, served as living reminders of the Hlrike's capacity for cruelty, their stories echoing through the annals of history as a chilling warning of what it means to stand against them.

The international community, recoiling from the horror of the Hlrike's actions, has not been silent. Organizations like the International Council of Nations (ICoN) have cast a critical eye on their conduct, denouncing their tactics as not just acts of war but egregious violations of human rights and international law. The Hlrike's reputation as a fearsome and effective force is thus inextricably linked with that of a group implicated in war crimes, their name synonymous with atrocities that have drawn widespread condemnation and moral outrage.
