Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/The Socialist Union of Voshkod

The Socialist Union of Voshkod are one of the eighteen core factions in The Warzone. This faction focuses on brute force, powerful weapons and a strong army to defeat their enemies.

History
The Socialist Union of Voshkod is one of the superpowers of Gaiaterra's history, however the nation itself had a tumultuous history. Before the Great Aquilan-Voshkod War it was an powerful empire ruled by the Garlean family, and following its defeat in the Great Aquilan-Voshkod War they found itself in an economic crisis. Escaping it, Voshkod was antagonized by the victors for many years before they turned their eyes elsewhere, but Voshkods didn't prosper. It was soon time to change, in 1977 V.C. their nation's seat of power was occupied by Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, what was described by the opposition as a 'post-Garlean oligarchy' and 'support of Aquilan loyalty', who only steered their nation to the right direction. However, while Lunafreya appeared to be the perfect puppet for the Aquilans, she secretly harboured a burning hatred for the Aquilans and later the Guardians of the Tacitus for ruining her nation.

Despite this, the Voshkods still has some tricks up its sleeves, with their army begins to reform, and new technological developments such as Tesla weaponry combined with huge amounts of heavy armour and soldiers have cemented their mastery of brute force since then.

Trivia

 * The faction itself is based on the Soviet Union from the Red Alert series (notably Red Alert 2 and their mods Mental Omega, Red Alert 20XX and Red Resurrection and Red Alert 3 and it's mods Paradox and Corona) and Russia in Command & Conquer: Generals mods (specifically Rise of the Reds and End of Days) with an aesthetic similar to Red Alert 2 Soviets (notably Mental Omega and Red Alert 20XX) and ROTR and The End of Days Russia.
 * Hyurs speaks with a Russian accent, Elezens speaks with a Ukrainian accent. the Roegaydn speaks with a Kazakh accent, the Vierans speaks with a Belarussian accent and the Hrothgar speaks with a Central Asian (Tajik, Uzbek, Turkmen and Krygyz) accent.
 * At the top, there is a closeup portrait of Aranea Highwind, is shown with red background at the back in between the Voshkod's factional flag at both sides. And at the bottom, it shows the background with an army of Conscripts, Regulars, Tesla Troopers, Desolators, Maulers, Kodiak Tanks, Apocalypse Tanks, Tesla Cruisers, Gorgons, and Buratinos with a silhoutte of Cataclysm far away from the rest, and a squadron of Su-47 Berkuts, Ka-68 Hellions, Su-35 Flanker-Es, Mi-24 Hinds and Kirov Airships. So both of these are fused together into a single art design for the Voshkod variant box art of The Warzone.
