Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/The Federation of Aquila

The Federation of Aquila are one of the eighteen core factions in The Warzone.

Description
"Through Liberty, We Trust!"

-A motto of The Federation of Aquila

The Federation of Aquila established its independence after Andoran, Vinland, Edinburgh and Orlais colonists rose up against their colonial masters in the late 1555 V.C. Rapid industrialization in the later years was accompanied by territorial expansion and scientific innovation. By the 1917 V.C. it is considered a "Great Power". The Federation of Aquila had long been considered the leading superpower in Gaiaterra and a founding member of Guardians of the Tacitus organization, following their victory against the Socialist Union of Voshkod and their allies in the Great Voshkod-Aquilan War of 1955-1958 V.C.

Its military might would become unprecedented; defense spending equaling that of the next founders of the Guardians of the Tacitus combined for years to follow. Toppling against opposing nations and rooting out world-class pro-Balthazar organizations, it seemed Aquila had taken up position as a 'world defender' alongside other Tacitus-affilated nations.

The military of the Federation of Aquila is composed of highly trained men and women utilizing advanced technology. The Aquilans employs several robotic units and various technologies in an attempt to avoid unnecessary loss of life. This does come at a price however, as Aquilan units are often more costly than their counterparts of other Tacitus-affilated armies. And although not necessarily a true weakness, the Aquilans has an obligation to follow DEFCON procedures and must earn a higher General's Promotion rank and spend money to raise its level to allow access to later Tiers. What sets the Aquilan forces apart is their flexibility and durability in battle. Together, these traits make the Aquilan military a force to be reckoned with.

The Federation of Aquila has also a political structure that inspires the constitution and ideological values like liberty, capitalism, patriotism, loyalism, security and prosperity to keep the peace and its survival accordingly.

Tactics
The Federation of Aquila is an technologically advanced nation, and generally fights with a combination of highly technological tactics, superior firepower (including laser weaponry), expeditionary warfare, and a large, versatile, powerful ground, air and naval units as a military alliance. In order to defeat its enemies and their tactics, its military power relies on skill, mobility, and advanced technology.

Battle Plans
The Strategy Center itself can be modified at no cost to suit the changing conditions of battle with one of three available Battle Plans, which can be changed at any time:


 * Bombardment: The Strategy Center deploys a large-caliber, long-ranged howitzer, allowing it to provide heavy fire support on the area around it. All ground combat units gain 20% additional damage and artillery gain 50% bonus to their firing rate.
 * Hold The Line: The Strategy Center is heavily fortified with sandbags, doubling its armor and allows it to shrug off all but the heaviest attacks. All ground units gain 25% additional armor strength and 15% morale.
 * Search and Destroy: A set of complicated antennae are unfolded from the top of the Strategy Center, revealing a large area around it by doubling its sight radius. All ground units gain 20% additional sight radius and weapon range.
