The Empire of Vornehm

The War on the Mainland

Though the war had gone well for the Faresian regiments of the Vornehm army, on the mainland things were not so bright. Troops remained equipped with older Gewehr 1900 rifles and M5 leather Kriegshelm helmets for much of the war, which resulted in usage of more updated weapons scavenged from fallen Soroyan and Ostruznican troops. Being bogged down alongside their allies in foreign land did little good for morale, and things began to look dire for the Vornehm people. However, with the subjugation of Fuso and its manufacturing power, the newer technology seen on the Faresian front quickly made its way to the mainland troops, as did reinforcements fresh from combat in Faresia. With these new advantages, the Vornehm soldiers managed to gain a slight upper hand for a time, pushing further into the enemy occupied trenches and defenses then would have been possible with the older, outdated technology. New developmental tech had been created for the war as well, such as the Flammenwerfer 18 flamethrower, developed in 1918 for the mainland troops, or the newer Chlorine Gas artillery shells. These weapons of war wrecked havoc on the front lines, but overall did little to end the excessive stalemate.

The horrors wrought by the new weapons not only impacted the morale of the enemy, but also damaged the minds of Vornehm soldiers. Several excepts from post-war interviews are as follows:

"During a battle, we had just shot down a pilot with one of the new guns, and we went to check the crash...When we got there, the man had been ground to chunks, shredded by the Flak shells."

"The gas had an absolutely devastating effect on the enemy. One shell could suffocate an entire company within minutes. To see them writing on the ground, clutching at their throats and gasping for air..."

Kaiser Waldemar IV was very quick to hide the horrors of war, in favor of praising the honorable troops for their sacrifice. This kept morale on the homefront high, with rationing and lowered non-war production seen as a necessary cost.

The Empire of Vornehm

Für Gott und Kaiser!

March 1916

The Imperial Republic of Fuso had invaded Vornehm's colony of Caister on the Faresian continent. The Kaiser had been informed that the colonial defense force had fallen within the week, despite their superior training, technology, and tactics. Within a few hours of hearing the message, Kaiser Waldemar had authorized a full-scale counterattack and invasion. The Vornehm navy, after several hard-fought naval battles, managed to secure the arrival of a massive army to liberate the colony. Armed with many new pieces of equipment that their mainland counterparts had yet to be given, such as the Gewehr 1910 bolt-action rifle, the M10 Kampfsturzhelm helmet, and the Sturm MG 4 machine gun. From Caister, they would march straight into Fuso, eventually reaching the capital, and securing their surrender. The Faresian forces had fought valiantly, but were no match for the advanced military might of the Vornehm armies.

@ClocktowerEchosThat's fine.

@ClocktowerEchosAs stated before: Historically they would have been there. After the treaty and end of the war, I would have lost them. Vornehm has no current plans to reclaim them, hence why my traits will not reflect them.

Sanath was somewhat startled when the massive man had actually spoke to him, for he had thought he had been far more subtle. Don't be afraid, he's a mighty warrior, but no harm will come to you...yet. The voice of the warrior god spoke into Sanath's ear, with a sound like bone scraping on metal. Downing the last of his drink with a gulp, and carefully closing the cover of his book, Sanath turned to face the hulking man. "Well...I was just so impressed that anyone of your form could even exist. Why, the only type of person I've ever heard of being that big without being an ogryn i-is a..." Sanath would turn pale and grow wide-eyed from both awe and fear as he came to the realization. "A...Space Marine..."

Just as he did so, however, the hunchback heretic known as Raoul approached. As he did, the voices spoke in their unusual unity. Go with him, he is our envoy. Sanath swallowed a forming lump in his throat, and went to follow the hunchback, both scared and interested to see if the Astartes will follow.
