Introduction
The Federal Army of the Krauanagaz Federation holds a central position in the nation's history, emerging as a resilient and unifying force during the Krauanagazan Civil War (1913-1976). Established in response to secessionist movements and external threats, the Federal Army not only secured the Federation's survival but became a symbol of unity, strength, and national identity. The Federal Army was founded on 5th May 1913 as the Southern Krauanagaz Democratic Coalition Militia. It originated in response to the looming threat posed by Heritio Koroshia Confederation (HK) forces seeking to enforce HK rule on southern Krauanagaz.
Throughout the Civil War, the Federal Army engaged in a series of pivotal campaigns and battles, such as Operation Valarzaari Soldukviri and Operation Unfurled Liberty. These engagements not only tested the mettle of the Federal Army but also shaped its strategies, doctrines, and the indomitable spirit of its soldiers.
As the Krauanagazan Civil War concluded, the Federal Army underwent a transition, evolving into a force for national defense and security. Beyond its military functions, the army actively engaged in peacekeeping missions, disaster relief efforts, and maintaining internal stability within the Krauanagaz Federation.
In contemporary times, the Federal Army stands as a guardian of Krauanagazan values, symbolizing unity and commitment to safeguarding the nation's prosperity and future.
History
Formation
Founded on 5 May 1913, the Federal Army, then called the Southern Krauanagaz Democratic Coalition Militia, was established to defend southern Krauanagaz from Heritio Koroshia Confederation (HK) forces enforcing HK rule.
Early Years
The early years of the Federal Army were marked by pivotal events and conflicts, including its role in the Siege of Prital Kallaria, the Ambush at Krauanai River Crossing, and the Skirmish at Kallarian Ridge. These engagements highlighted the army's adaptability and strategic brilliance, particularly under the leadership of figures like Tallduk Zoa.
Major Engagements and Operations
Operation Unfurled Liberty (1938)
One of the defining moments in the Federal Army's history was the pivotal military operation, "Operation Unfurled Liberty," led by the Southern Krauanagazan Democratic Coalition. This offensive, masterminded by military strategists and spearheaded by Tallduk Zoa, showcased the army's determination in liberating territories and disrupting HK forces.
The Liberation of Umani (July 27, 1938)
In a climactic battle for control of the Prital Inaria provincial capital, SKDC forces, fighting valiantly along the coastal and southern regions, managed to push the frontline nearly to the banks of the River Keviari. The culmination of these efforts marked the onset of the Fall of Umani. Tragically, during the intense fighting in Umani, Tallduk Zoa, the revered leader of Soliranas te ti Venis (SV), sustained fatal injuries. Despite being shot several times in the abdomen, Zoa displayed remarkable resilience, surviving for three days until he succumbed to his injuries on July 30. His sacrifice became emblematic of the broader struggle for Krauanagazan freedom. The liberation of Umani, a key moment in Operation Unfurled Liberty, was bittersweet. While the SKDC forces achieved success in capturing Umani, the loss of Tallduk Zoa was a significant blow. Operation Unfurled Liberty, marked by this tragic loss, nevertheless became a turning point in the civil war. The successful offensive into Prital Inaria demonstrated the SKDC's resilience and its ability to challenge the Heritio Korosha (HK) Confederation's dominance.
Operation Valarzaari Soldukviri (1940)
On the 2nd of April 1940, the Southern Krauanagazan Democratic Coalition (SKDC) initiated a strategic offensive known as Operation Valarzaari Soldukviri. This campaign, meaning "Eternal Judge," unfolded as a grim chapter in the ongoing Krauanagazan Civil War, characterized by intense trench warfare and pivotal moments at strategic locations like the town of Khirma. The SKDC forces faced challenges in securing Khirma, with unexpected resistance from Soliranas te ti Venis (SV) resistance fighters complicating the withdrawal of HK forces. The toll of the conflict was staggering, with a significant number of Krauanagazans losing their lives during the intense combat.
Luzayyagaz Bombardment (1940)
The Luzayyagaz bombardment marked a turning point in the Civil War, prompting a reshuffling of the SKDC high command and a strategic shift away from traditional trench warfare. Lieutenant General Lusius Veridan's ascension to the position of General of the SKDC Army signaled a change in tactics that would influence the Federation Armed Forces in the years to come.
Battle of Solganaari (25 December 1940 - 11 June 1941)
The Battle of Solganaari inflicted heavy casualties on SKDC forces. The relentless siege, coupled with HK attacks near Mayyamorot, presented immense challenges. However, SKDC forces, with resilience and determination, eventually drove confederation forces out of the Keviari River valley, marking a pivotal turning point in Operation Valarzaari Soldukviri.
Battle of Btallakan (1941)
On 1 July, the SKDC coalition launched an offensive to take the capital of Luanapríg Vellipriyra, Btallakan. The Battle of Btallakan unfolded, with SKDC forces gaining control over the city, prompting confederation forces to withdraw across the Southern Luanapríg Plateau and into Luanapríg Lupriyra province.
