Cryrian Defense Forces

This page (or section) is a work in progress by its author(s) and should not be considered final.

The Cryrian Defense Forces (Cryrian: Försvarsmakten, "the Defense Forces") is the unified armed forces of the Kingdom of Cryria charged with the defense of the country. The CDF traces its roots back to the standing navies of Vesterholm and Talvere. Since their creation, the Defense Forces have seen action in many conflicts throughout Cryrian history, including the Great War. The CDF's modern structure was established shortly after that conflict and consists of the Royal Cryrian Army, Navy, and Air Force. Under Cryrian law, oaths of allegiance are made out to the sitting Cryrian monarch, who also serves as the commander-in-chief. As with most day-to-day government functions, this power is in practice vested with the Prime Minister and the elected Government. The CDF is directly headed by the General Staff, who in turn reports to the Minister of Defense.

Though the CDF has not engaged in a major international war in over a century, it remains notable in that it continues to practice widespread conscription of both men and women. This practice has made it one of the most prominent Government institutions in the Kingdom, with significant impact on social, economic, and political life. Though comparatively uninvolved in global conflicts, the CDF saw a marked increase in funding and government interest in the wake of the Volscine Civil War and the growing perception of regional instability.

Mission

The Cryrian Defense Forces defines itself as having three main tasks:

• To uphold Cryrian territorial integrity
• To defend the nation from foreign attack
• To provide rapid response and support during disasters

Under Article 6 of the Cryrian Constitution, conscripted personnel cannot be deployed outside of Cryrian territory(defined as including the country's exclusive economic zone). As such, the CDF has a primarily defensive role, and the Kingdom has typically sought to uphold its military neutrality in regional disputes. The CDF maintains a handful of professional units constructed for expeditionary purposes, most notably the Regiment of Naval Infantry, the Foreign Legion, and the Army Special Operations Group. Elements of the CDF have partaken in some international operations, primarily in the Union of Free Cities where the Cryrian-held Mandate of Ellesborg hosts a small Foreign Legion detachment and maintains its own militia with CDF support and training. The CDF has also supported disaster relief efforts abroad and joint exercises within the Conference for Amity and Cooperation, but has otherwise eschewed partaking in international peacekeeping operations and has rejected suggestions that they be added as a "Fourth Pillar" to its mission.

The CDF similarly has been careful to delineate between foreign and domestic operations. The armed forces do not partake in domestic law enforcement or counterterrorism operations within the Kingdom, and by practice will only conduct operations in Cryrian territory for the purposes of training and defense against foreign actions or during a declared state of emergency.

Exercises and International Participation

Ellesborg Detachment

A Foreign Legion company is permanently stationed in the Mandate of Ellesborg as part of the nation's commitment to the Union of Free Cities. The deployment is primarily focused on training and advising the local Civil Defense Force. This detachment has been reinforced by a flight of fighter jets from the RCRAF in light of increased regional instability.

Nordörn

The CDF is a regular participant in the Nordörn Exercises alongside other CAC nations.

Nordanvind

Nordanvind is the CDF's largest annual training exercise. It is designed to test the CDF's logistical capabilities as well as the ability to call up reservists. As such, Nordanvind is typically when selected members of the Active Reserves receive their mandated refresher training.

Army

The Cryrian Army dates back to the feudal levies and mercenary companies used throughout the early history of the Isles. The closest things to a true standing army belonged to the silovik, local lords who ruled in the Lielsta and Aisis Marches that needed to maintain control over the large nonhuman populations. These groups were comparable to a military caste that was was both reliant on the House of Leidensen for funding and increasingly called upon for conflicts outside their assigned regions. In the mid-15th century, King Eric recognized the potential represented by the silovik and sought to organize them based on his own readings of the professional soldiers of the Celanoran legions. At its height the so-called White-Blue Army numbered some 28,000 troops and boasted the widest usage of firearms of any force within the Kingdom. It quickly developed a reputation as the House of Leidensen's primary enforcers throughout Cryria.

The White-Blue Army remained loyal to King Isak during the Sorrows, however its reputation of invincibility was shattered when it suffered grevious losses during the Jaedz Campaign. After King Isak's death in 1517, the Army was formally disbanded and reorganized into a new force simply named the Cryrian Army in a reflection of a growing sense of shared nationhood in the Kingdom.

The Cryrian Army today is the largest branch of the CDF by personnel. Of all the branches it relies the most heavily on conscripts, and its units are typically divided into three groups. Category A units are all-professional, high readiness forces. Category B units are 30-70% professional soldiers, with the remainder made up of actively serving conscripts. These units are expected to be able to deploy within 30 days of mobilization. Category C units have 5-30% of their strength available in professional soldiers, and are expected to have their remaining strength filled out by reservists in the event of war or emergency. These units are expected to need 90 to 180 days in order to reach combat readiness. At present, only the Royal Guard and the Foreign Legion are considered to be Category A units.

Much of the Army's combat power is organized into one of three brigades: Armored, Mechanized Infantry, or Light Infantry. This structure is meant to emphasize modularity, and two to five brigades can be combined with an Engineering Brigade, a Field Artillery Brigade, and a Logistics Brigade to form a division. The Army also maintains integrated drone and helicopter fleets, and though the Air Force is responsible for most ground-based air defense systems, the Army also operates its own short-range surface-to-air missiles.

Air Force

The Royal Cryrian Air Force is by far the youngest branch of the CDF. Though the Försvarsmakten operated aircraft as early as 1898 in the form of early balloons, these were grouped under the Army Air Corps and Navy respectively. Aircraft traditionally played a reconnaissance role in the CDF and did not become a significant part of Cryrian military doctrine until the Great War. The first true biplanes did not enter service until the 1910s, and were a collection of imported and ad-hoc aircraft pushed into service. The establishment of Ohlson Aeroplanfabrik in 1914 marked the birth of a domestic aerospace industry that soon expanded into developing and building its own designs in order to meet the demands of the war. By the end of the war, the Army Air Corps operated some 143 aircraft across all types, with another seven reconnaissance balloons in service and a further 26 aircraft in the Navy. The introduction of armaments to AAC airplanes gradually moved the force towards a combat role of its own, and the image of the Air Corps as "Knights of the skies" captured the public imagination and was an important propaganda tool as it stood in contrast with the often far more grim realities of the war on the ground. The growing size and image of the Army Air Corps allowed it to effectively evolve into an independent section under the Ministry of the Army, and it was later declared its own branch in the CDF with equal standing as a part of post-war reorganizations that began in 1917. While both the Army and Navy maintained aircraft of their own to support their direct operations, the newly formed RCRAF was charged with the overall coordination, control, and defense of Cryrian airspace.

Today, the RCRAF is the most heavily funded branch of the CDF, and one of the most prestigious. Its fundamental mission in defense of the Kingdom has remained the same over time, but its capabilities have developed considerably since its founding. The modern RCRAF is centered around its seven Fighter Wings, each consisting of three squadrons of roughly twenty Örn JAS 39E Gripen jets. The RCRAF also operates another seven Fighter Training Wings, six of which utilize conversion trainers such as the Örn JAS 39D Gripen or the aging Örn 105G which can be utilized in combat roles to varying degrees. The Örn Safari makes up the remainder of the nation's basic trainers. Most of the CDF's helicopter and drone fleets belong to the Army and Navy, and as such the RCRAF itself operates only a handful of such craft. The RCRAF does utilize a total of ten Örn 2000s which serve as VIP transports for government officials, as well as an assortment of other fixed wing transports. The Örn 2000 platform has been further developed to produce a small fleet of SIGINT and AEW&C aircraft operated by the RCRAF.

The Air Force also has its own limited ground forces to provide security for airbases, as well as an elite specialist unit - the Flygbasjägarna.

Navy

The Royal Cryrian Navy represents the oldest standing military force in the Cryrian Isles. Tracing its lineage back to the roving Cryrian fleets of old, the RCRN today serves as the primary naval arm of the CDF.

Though the Army technically operates the largest number of vessels when considering its many small assault craft, the RCRN contains all of the significant warships belonging to the Kingdom. Most of its strength is centered around its twelve Leiden-class frigates, and it also maintains a notable submarine arm including eleven Kraken-class diesel-electric submarines. Some thirty-four Kraskne-class missile boats and five Blödhaj-class coastal submarines are operated closer to Cryrian shores.

Like the Army, the RCRN has traditionally held a strong commitment to mine warfare as a means of access-denial. Cryrian naval geography consists of many confined waterways and a complex littoral zone that is ideal for such a doctrine. The fleet maintains six large Hämeenmaa-class minelayers for this purpose, with another thirty Oksøy-class mine countermeasures vessels.

Beyond its immediate role in conventional warfare, the RCRN also serves as the primary naval enforcement arm of the Cryrian government. While the National Police and various environmental and search-and-rescue agencies operate civilian vessels and aircraft within Cryrian territorial waters, the country's large exclusive economic zones are patrolled by the RCRN. This task typically falls to an array of offshore patrol vessels. Smaller patrol craft, such as the Tapper-class, are charged with the more serious enforcement activities within the Isles themselves, and are further equipped with limited anti-submarine warfare capabilities for their shallow waters.

The RCRN also operates its own air wing which includes a significant number of helicopters, UAVs, and maritime patrol aircraft. Its fleet of Örn Swordfish and Örn 2000 MPAs serve to further extend the Navy's monitoring capabilities, while its rotary and unmanned aircraft are operated from both ship and shore for a wide range of activities. Its three Marjata-class SIGINT vessels also comprise an important tool for Cryrian intelligence gathering.

The Navy maintains a ground force best exemplified in the Regiment of Naval Infantry. One of the most prestigious units in the Cryrian military, the Regiment is centered on a single independent combined arms battalion capable of deploying from the Kingdom's Tynam-class Flexible Support Ships. The Naval Infantry consist wholly of professional soldiers and is intended to be used as an expeditionary force. The separate Special Naval Infantry branch is a naval commando unit descended from early twentieth-century frogmen units. The RCRN further maintains a formidable system of coastal defense missile batteries and shore based radars to complete its control over the Cryrian littoral.

The RCRN also utilizes its own fleet of aircraft, which primarily consist of maritime reconnaissance jets. In addition to helicopter units that are directly attached to its fleet squadrons, the RCRN also operates three independent shore-based helicopter squadrons.

Save for a handful of vessels such as the Garza and Amity-class, most of the RCRN's ships are assembled in Cryrian shipyards. However, many components and munitions are foreign sourced. Cryria produces its own anti-ship missiles, but procurement has been complicated by what amounts to two competing development lines run by Örn AB and Tarva Defense Systems. The former produces the RBS-15, which today is the most ubiquitous armament of its type in Cryrian service as it can be deployed from the Örn JAS-39E Gripen. The latter first produced the RBS-12 "Penguin" missile, which remains in limited use on Cryrian rotary craft. TDS later offered the RBS-13 "Harpoon", which is built into the StanFlex modules used on Cryria's Tynam and Leiden-class vessels.

Örn also produces the DM2A4 533 mm torpedoes used on Cryrian submarines. The navy further operates the indigenous Sea Mine 2000, produced by Emmerson Sea Systems. While the Kingdom has a domestic surface-to-air missile program, it has seen little success in navalizing these systems. Hejeld AB's Älemsi subsidiary has produced the Jad short range missile which is deployed on the Kraskne-class missile boat. An array of radars and other electronics are also locally produced and assembled, but many other air defense and countermeasure systems are imported from abroad.

In contrast to the navies of many larger powers, the RCRN lacks the global network of bases and allies needed to conduct operations far from its shores. It is further limited by the size of its vessels and maintains only a single ship capable of at-sea replenishment. Additionally, RCRN doctrine mandates close cooperation with both shore-based installations and the RCRAF to establish naval bastions around the archipelago within which Cryrian forces can operate freely and deny access to a hostile force. Operations further abroad are seen as either non-combat relief efforts or as missions against opponents of limited capacity(i.e., anti-piracy operations). As such, the modern RCRN can be classed as a formidable green water fleet with a limited expeditionary capability.

Naval Infantry

The Regiment of Naval Infantry is one of two ground forces maintained by the RCRN alongside the Coastal Artillery Forces. One of the most prestigious units in the Cryrian military, the Regiment consists of 2,200 personnel and is centered around three battalions - one force protection unit and two mechanized infantry battalions. While historically an all-professional expeditionary force, the Naval Infantry today only retain a limited deployment capability via the Tynam-class Flexible Support Ships and the Garza-class LCUs.

Personnel

Conscription

The CDF consists of a core of well-trained professional soldiers bolstered by the Kingdom's conscription system. Most Cryrian men and women, barring various exemptions and alternative service options, are drafted at the age of 18 and serve for two to three years before being cycled back out into the reserves. Reservists are liable for up to 30 days of service a year during peacetime, theoretically as late as age 40, or 50 in the case of commissioned officers. Those who have served at least 20 days in a three-year span are considered to be a part of the Active Reserves. The concept of National Service in general remains popular in Cryria, and it is seen as a uniting force within the nation. However, younger generations increasingly look to alternatives to conscription to fulfill the National Service requirement, and the Cryrian military itself has steadily expanded its use of professional forces. Today, roughly half of active-duty personnel are conscripts, while conscripts make up about 80% of the overall defense structure when considering the reservist system. The lower ranks of the Army contain the highest proportion of conscripts, while the Air Force and Navy have the highest proportion of professional servicepeople.

The Cryrian Military presently has a total of 306,000 active soldiers and 800,000 active reservists, with another 800,000 inactives.

Foreign Personnel

Due to the constitutional limitations of Article 6 and the political complications inherent to using even the professionalized arms of the military in foreign expeditions, the CDF has often allowed foreigners to serve in certain units, primarily the Cryrian Foreign Legion. The Legion has at varying points consisted of Serramali, Zapolese, and Ethalrian immigrants among other groups, and offers full military benefits and pathways to citizenship, either upon completing a period of good service or upon being injured in service to the Kingdom. There are in total an estimated 5,250 CDF members who do not hold Cryrian citizenship.

Weapons of Mass Destruction

Cryria has at various points in its history operated chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons programs.

Chemical Weapons

Primitive chemical weapons have been used in Cryria since ancient times, however chemical warfare as a modern concept did not appear until the late 19th-century. The establishment of the Cryrian chemical warfare doctrine is largely accredited to General Elise Berggren who apocryphally drew inspiration from industrial chemical accidents she witnessed during her own impoverished childhood in Tuigar.

As an officer in the Cryrian Army she developed a close working relationship with both King Albert and chemist turned industrialist Charles Sundtröm, who first introduced the chloralkali process to Cryrian in 1892. Berggren received support to establish a secretive unit to examine the potential uses of chemical warfare as a means of leveraging Cryrian industrial capabilities and countering its numerical disadvantages, particularly with regards towards maintaining control over an increasingly unsettled empire. This group formed the core of what later become designated as the Special Materials Division. Throughout the 1890s the Division conducted several tests with chlorine-filled shells. Berggren later pushed for combat deployments of the new weapons against restive regions in the mountains of Aikthudr'zhur, but was ultimately denied. Rumors later spread that Berggren had used live test subjects procured by the Tomorrow Ministry, though these remain unsubstantiated. Opposition among the General Staff nearly resulted in the loss of Berggren's position and the disbandment of the Special Materials Division in 1898, however, a successful personal appeal to Queen Katharine saved both and served to set a new attitude by the Ministry of Defense towards chemical warfare in the leadup to the Great War:

“	My detractors claim that my proposals are barbaric, as though it is not the finest advantages of Cryrian technology and ingenuity that we are now bringing to the field. Only through such sophisticated measures can high civilization triumph over low savagery.	„

The decade of the Great War spurred on the final development of the CDF's chemical warfare doctrines. Instead of being limited to a single specialized unit, chemical shells were now proliferated across the regular army. The inevitable development of countermeasures spurred on the push for more advanced and deadly substances which led away from comparatively simple dual-use chemicals such as chlorine. The Kingdom retained a sophisticated for several decades after the conclusion of the war. These were voluntarily decommissioned in 1970 due to both the perceived military unhelpfulness of such weapons on modern battlefields and their irrelevance for the protection of modern Cryrian interests. At the time of decommissioning, the CDF disclosed a sizable stockpile consisting of blister agents such as mustard gas and nerve agents including sarin and VX.

Former chemical weapons production sites have also been shut down, save for a small number of facilities which produce limited quantities of restricted materials for research, pharmaceutical, and chemical weapons defense testing purposes. These government-run sites are still operated by the Special Materials Division. Among their uses are the production of nitrogen mustard, which has medical uses in extremely limited quantities that would be uneconomical for Cryrian private sector manufacturers. Today, the Special Materials Division also runs facilities for the safe disposal of highly hazardous materials, which were originally set up to dispose of the Cryrian chemical arsenal.

Chemical substances designated as incendiaries, explosives, or defoliants remain in CDF service. Substances for riot control are also utilized in law enforcement contexts.

Biological Weapons

Instances of early biological warfare occur throughout Cryrian history. During various conflicts, the Cryrian Church offered absolution and monetary compensation to plague victims who would be willingly transported to hostile lands, while hurling cadavers over the walls of besieged settlements was a common tactic. Advances in germ theory and the Great War resulted in attempts to weaponize anthrax as a means of sabotaging food supplies, but ultimately a lack of viable delivery systems hampered this.

The modern Cryrian biological weapons program began shortly after the Great War in anticipation of a new conflict. At this time the Kingdom was in a state of growing domestic turmoil and had seen its military strength badly weakened by over a decade of continuous warfare. Its foreign influence was simultaneously collapsing with the the loss spheres of influence in Älemsi Negdel and Aikthudr'zhur. The end of the Tanznozhiv and the rise of the Volscine Confederation created a new and potentially dangerous power to the south, one which was now pressing demands against the Leidensen titles over Charlottesborg, which were ultimately ceded in 1923. The rise of militant leftist movements on the Mainland created further pressure on the Cryrian state to restore the means of military deterrence as quickly as possible.

Tomorrow Minister Folke Hägg was the first to propose building upon previous efforts at biological warfare to that end. Both Hägg and the eugenicists at the Tomorrow Ministry theorized that infectious strains capable of inflict damage on a civilizational scale could and would be developed in the near future by various nation states. This would, in essence, create a scenario of mutually assured destruction. While the Tomorrow Ministry's estimations were wildly incorrect, they did lead to the creation of a biological warfare section under the Special Materials Division which spearheaded far more legitimate and scientifically founded research into the topic. Isolated and uninhabited islands in Tynam's Siggeholm Group were used for secretive testing, production, and storage facilities. Research was also conducted under the guise of legitimate civil biotechnology efforts and involved several important Cryrian universities as well as the Ministry of Agriculture.

Cryrian efforts in this area progressed along two lines - One intended to attack enemy food supplies, particularly livestock, and another for sapient targets. The CDF ultimately developed a line of "Anthrax bombs" that would be used to spread the disease across livestock. In 1945, the weapon was tested on over 60 sheep which had been shipped to the island of Jelna, and successfully killed all its targets within days. Despite this, a lack of significant bomber aircraft meant that the delivery of biological agents would likely have relied heavily on more covert means.

The program eventually began to face resistance from within the Special Materials Division itself. In 1956, Director Edvard Afzelius finally proposed an end to the program, reporting that:

“	Once again the Tomorrowmen, in their infinite wisdom, have confused cruelty with military effectiveness. The proposed developments are unlikely to offer any military value outside the realm of terror and desperation. To suggest that we would engage in either is nothing less than an insult to the Försvarsmakten.	„

Nonetheless, the political power of the Tomorrow Ministry ensured that the program would continue to grow and develop until the White November Crisis of 1957. It is speculated that the Ministry's meddling in military affairs was among the many factors that led to the Crisis. After the downfall of the Ministry, the Cryrian Government began to gradually shut the program down until it had been entirely dismantled in 1960

The CDF disclosed a sizable stockpile of weaponized biological agents ranging from anthrax, plague, tularemia, glanders, brucellosis, Q-fever, botulinum, and orthopoxviruses such as smallpox along with established production lines. The vast majority of these were destroyed along with all delivery systems. Limited samples are retained today under heavy restrictions for testing and research purposes. Some facilities in SIggeholm also remain active for similar purposes, and tightly controlled by the Special Materials Division.

Nuclear

First Military Program(1955 - 1975)

Government-sponsored nuclear research in Cryria dates back to 1941 with the founding of the King Albert Materials Institute in Leidenstad. Early experiments with nuclear material were also conducted by civilian researchers at the University of Leidenstad. It was not until after Ethalrian nuclear tests in the 1950s that KAMI was directed by the Ministry of Defense to examine what was known about these new weapons. The Institute's final report would initiate discussions within the Cryrian Government regarding the peaceful and military uses of nuclear technology. Although the military interests in nuclear technology remained shrouded in secrecy, close connections soon formed between it and a civilian nuclear program run by the Ministry of Energy due to both a need to share limited resources and expertise, as well as a desire to conceal military nuclear activities beneath civilian ones. This unique Military-Civil relationship would come to define the Cryrian nuclear program throughout its history.

Basic Materials

Beginning in 1955, KAMI was granted additional funding for nuclear weapons studies, which was granted under the cover of civil programs by the Energy Ministry. By 1956 KAMI had established a sophisticated research program that explored five designated axes - Research, materials acquisition, reactor, enrichment facility, and power plant construction, delivery system development, and weapons assembly. At this point KAMI had an estimated sixty researchers dedicated to these projects, and had sourced another sixty from other government agencies and universities. Materials acquisition became the highest initial priority. The rich Suhar uranium deposit in Tynam would not be discovered for another thirty years as mining exploration and later exploitation were both hampered by local opposition in the region. The Oteri Uranium Mine on the Oshombran Peninsula remained similarly unknown and undeveloped until the 2010s.

Instead, KAMI's efforts centered on the Cryrian Highlands in Älmark which had a wealth of thorium and uranium deposits located on formerly elven lands that had been gradually seized by the Tomorrow Ministry over the past decades. Thorium, at this time, was deemed to have little commercial or military use, while the Highlands' uranium deposits were large but of low-grade and were found in alum shales in the bedrock. As such, mining and processing the ore was more expensive than normal. Negotiations were opened with Älemsi Negdel to potentially access cheaper sources, but these fell through during the First Yeralik Crisis, leaving few alternatives. Beginning in 1957 KAMI's main focus was placed on building experimental reactors and developing methods to utilize Highlands uranium mined at Illukgda to meet civilian and military needs. In that same year the state-owned energy provider RG&E publicly launched a new division to explore the development of nuclear energy options and became the public-facing front for these uranium development projects.

KAMI's projects were briefly disrupted by the White November Crisis towards the end of 1957, but subsequently enjoyed a transfer of funding and resources from the Tomorrow Ministry's soon-to-be defunct bioweapons program. By 1958 the Ministry for Defense had privately expressed its support for a more active and concerted nuclear weapons program in the absence of other forms of deterrence, and KAMI was effectively brought under the umbrella of Special Materials Division. Later internal Ministry reports circulated in 1964 emphasized the growing militarization of the Novaran Cold War and the Kingdom's own nonaligned status which prevented it from benefitting from Great Power conventional or nuclear defense guarantees. This opinion had been openly expressed as early as 1962 by Defense Minister Charles Söderholm, and would later appear in official public statements by the Defense Ministry as a whole.

First Reactors

KAMI planned to use heavy water reactors fueled by its low-grade uranium to produce plutonium, and to that end was able to take advantage of Cryria's position as an early producer of heavy water. The Langtrup and Arensla hydroelectric power plants reportedly furnished KAMI with several tons of heavy water in 1958. The first Cryrian reactor was known as A1 and was built in an underground cavern in the Highlands at the end of 1961. A1 was relatively small, and with a thermal power of 1 MW it existed primarily for further research purposes. That same year, uranium extraction in the Highlands finally reached its intended capacity. In 1965, the Special Materials Division reported to the General Staff that Cryria would be able to rapidly assemble a nuclear device once plutonium production began. A second, larger research reactor named A2 began operations in 1966.

The Ulholm Nuclear Power Plant

In 1967, the project accelerated when construction began on B1, also known as the Ulholm Nuclear Power Plant. This was a dual-use facility and the first Cryrian nuclear facility that would have a commercial use. Located underground in Ulholm County, south of Honningfjord, the plant provided limited amounts of power to the city. Ulholm was completed in 1972 and like much of the Cryrian nuclear energy program at this time is believed to have had a covert military purpose, namely the production of plutonium. However, as the first reactor of any significant size in Cryria, Ulholm suffered from a number of problems over its short lifespan. While the station's operations were mostly reliable, fuel failures caused a seven-month long shutdown in 1973. Ulholm remained in operation for civilian uses. In 1974 it suffered from flooding which resulted in short-circuits throughout the plant. This resulted in the decision to transfer plans for military production over to the still in construction Hallström or Verventis Power Plants. Ulholm returned to operationality it would ultimately be decommissioned in 1984. The incidents at the plant were not made public by the Cryrian government until 2010.

Verventis

While Ulholm had represented the first Cryrian foray into commercial nuclear power, by 1974 the Kingdom had broken ground on the much larger Verventis Power Plant. Verventis was billed to the public as the first true example of Cryrian nuclear energy, and would provide power to Leidenstad itself. A second project, the Hallström Power Plant, was simultaneously ongoing but had stalled in the planning phases. Work on Verventis also began as the Kingdom both sought to shed the last legacies of the Tomorrow Ministry and simultaneously grappled with the aftermath of the highly controversial election of 1974, which had been marred by allegations of voter suppression and bomb threats in Lielsta. As such, Verventis was subject to a large-scale government publicity campaign that sought to bring focus to it as an example of Cryrian scientific achievement. Privately, Verventis was also expected to help produce an arsenal of a hundred nuclear devices.

The project almost immediately became mired in political conflicts and legal disputes alongside the rest of the program. The Verventis Plant was to be built atop what had once been a holy site for the Highlands elves, and elven groups were able to leverage new Historic Commission regulations to bring about a Court order halting construction. However, the Historic Commission later changes its own regulations in response, allowing the construction to continue. This resulted in elven groups occupying the site. The National Police in turn moved to eject them in a midnight raid, a decision which led to the infamous Verventis Riots. One person is reported to have died directly in the riots, but some 300 were injured and over 800 arrests were reported. Local hospitals in the rural area were overwhelmed by a massive surge in hypothermia cases as the NP used watercannons in the freezing weather, and it is believed that several more deaths occurred in the immediate aftermath of the clash.

It is understood that a simultaneous power struggle took place within the Cryrian government between the Securitate and the General Staff. While the occurrence of any such conflict has been denied by successive governments in Leidenstad, among the end results was the cancellation of the military nuclear program. The civilian program would continue and the Verventis Power Plant would ultimately be completed, but the Cryrian government disavowed the development of nuclear weapons. The Kingdom instead moved towards a doctrine of nuclear latency for the remainder of the 20th-century. Efforts to develop ballistic missile delivery systems were also halted at this point, and the accumulated technology and expertise was instead spun off into what would become the Royal Cryrian Space Agency.

Latency Period

While never publicly codified, Leidenstad effectively changed tacks to pursue a nuclear latency policy after 1975. This was felt to be both more politically palatable given the difficult internal situation in the aftermath of the Verventis Riots, and also better suited to Cryrian defense posture and its wider international position. Under such a doctrine, Cryria was to continue developing its civilian program and through it would remain "A screwturn" away from obtaining nuclear weapons in the event that its national security position came under a severe threat. While rarely discussed openly, it has since become apparent that the Kingdom planned for a six-month breakout period to a nuclear device in the event of a "serious crisis," which encompassed circumstances that might include foreign nuclear threats or dangers to the existence of the Cryrian state itself. The Latency Doctrine fell under the mandate of the Special Materials Division, which also continued to provide protection and oversight for nuclear materials and facilities in the Kingdom.

The transition to the Latency Doctrine and the subsequent transfer of resources away from military purposes allowed the civilian program to flourish. As of 2002, the Kingdom operated nineteen commercial reactors as well as seven smaller ones for research and radiopharmaceutical purposes. All nuclear power plants were controlled by RG&E, though several research reactors were operated by either academic institutions or private enterprises. Since Verventis, Cryrian power plants used the Cryrian Deuterium Uranium(CDU) pressurized heavy-water reactor design, which could utilize unenriched natural uranium or uranium mixed with other materials such as plutonium or thorium. In the decades after the launch of Verventis the Kingdom was able to position itself as a leader in heavy water reactors that can operate on natural uranium.

Since the establishment of the Latency Doctrine, the Kingdom also created a stockpile of nuclear materials from and ostensibly for the civilian program. By 2002 it had accumulated over twenty tons of plutonium and half a ton of uranium. The independent launch capabilities of the RCSA also meant that the country had developed much of the technology needed for an effective delivery system.

Second Nuclear Program(2002-2003)

The outbreak of the Volscine Civil War badly upended a security environment on which Cryria had relied on for decades. Fears surrounding the future fate of the Volscine nuclear arsenal and potential rogue actors that might arise from the rubble in West Novaris led the Kingdom to renew its own nuclear ambitions. Dubbed as the Ademar's Gate project, the new program began two weeks after the collapse of Volscina and effectively ended the Latency Doctrine. The imperatives behind the project further escalated when the Charlottesborg Mutiny resulted in the Kingdom transferring formal recognition from the Volscine Confederation to the Volscine Empire while intervening in Charlottesborg itself, a decision which created serious concerns of potential future retaliation by various Volscine factions or a further Cryrian entanglement in the civil war.

Ademar's Gate was intended swiftly develop testable nuclear devices before serious opposition could coalesce. However, the project was detected by the Älemsi government which in turn sought to pressure the Cryrian government into making concessions in the Northern Waters Dispute. This would eventually lead to the Second Yeralik Crisis.

Major Installations

Ellesborg Joint Station

Ellesborg Joint Station is the primary CDF site in the Mandate of Ellesborg, and consists of facilities for RCRN vessels and barracks for the Foreign Legion detachment in the city. it was originally established in the 19th century by the Cryrian adventurers and fortune-seekers who first took control of the area. In modern times, Ellesborg is home to only one company of Legionnaires, which serve as advisors and trainers for the local Civil Defense Force. Ellesborg International Airport is located near the Joint Station and has separate facilities for the RCRAF, and hosts a flight of JAS-39E Gripens redeployed to the territory in the wake of rising tensions in Arcturia.

Kamburn Royal Arsenal

Located at the village of Kamburn, on the outskirts of the capital and near Tvillingblom Palace and Leidenstad Castle. The Kamburn Royal Arsenal is used by the RCRA and currently serves as the headquarters of the Royal Guard.

Magnusholm Naval Station

Magnusholm Naval Station was built amidst the Novaran Cold War to serve as a base and command center for the RCRN that could withstand a potential first-strike. It is buried near Leidenstad and consists of underground docks capable of hosting submarines and small surface combatants, as well as miles of tunnels containing support facilities and barracks.

National Coastal Artillery Network

The National Coastal Artillery Network consists of a series of fixed artillery batteries located around the nation's strategic straits and waterways, each one containing three independent gun emplacements as well as command centers, targeting stations, troop shelters, and positions for anti-aircraft guns and mortars. These installations were originally built during the 1970s during the Novaran cold war as a means of maintaining control over the vital waterway which protrudes into the Cryrian heartland. The Penguin anti-ship missiles in use by the RCRN at the time were believed to be limited by their warhead size and cost per shot, and as such the NCAN was built using regular 130 mm guns. The system was intended to remain functional throughout a hypothetical nuclear attack, and was hardened against the potential shockwaves and electromagnetic pulse effects of a nearby detonation. Each battery contained its own power generation, sickbays, and galleys that could allow them to sustain themselves independently, effectively turning them into modern day fortresses that would ensure control over the archipelago. The system was modernized in the 1980s with new shells, laser rangefinders, and computers.

The NCAN has been considered obsolete for decades as Cryrian anti-shipping missile technology continued to improve. However, the system remains in service for ceremonial purposes. Cryrian tradition demands the ceremonial firing of naval cannons to salute visiting foreign warships, and with the dismantling of most other coastal defense guns as well as the abandonment of heavy gunnery in ship design, this role has typically been assigned to NCAN batteries. As of 2022, much of NCAN has been dismantled, and remaining units largely operate on a skeleton crew necessary to maintain and operate the guns and their radar sites, the latter of which is also used by the RCRN for general monitoring and search-and-rescue purposes. Surviving batteries are located on the Straits of Talvere, Oshombran, Lindesgaard, Tarva, Tynam, Grimvik, and Aisis, as well as on the Valngi Peninsula, the Leidenstad Coastal Plains, and the Bays of Brekkim and Kalsa. The batteries reportedly still conduct periodic live fire drills in addition to their ceremonial usage.

Queen Evelina Military Enclave

Queen Evelina Military Enclave is located within Leidenstad's Queen Evelina International Airport. The enclave is run by the RCRAF and is primarily used by the 8th Independent Air Logistics Squadron, which operates VIP transport aircraft for the Cryrian government. The Military Enclave is also used as a secure site for visiting dignitaries and officials arriving in the Kingdom, and it has its own train station connecting it to both Tvillingblom and Karsholm Palaces.

Trauer Army Station

Trauer Army Station is located on a small island north of Lindesgaard. It has historically been a popular site for fortifications as the island sits astride the strategically important Lindesgaard Straits and controls the route into the Cryrian heartlands. Today, it is the home of the Cryrian Foreign Legion

Joint Base Trollesund

Joint Base Trollesund is a jointly operated Army/Air Force/Navy base located near Tarva. Its strategic location within the Cryrian isles has made it one of the most important military installations in the Kingdom.

Tynam Naval Station

Tynam Naval Station is located near the city of Tynam . It is an important base of operations for the RCRN in the Rotantic, and also serves as a headquarters for the Nordörn exercises.

Procurement

Much of the design and final assembly of the CDF's equipment is done by the Kingdom's sizable domestic defense industry, though component parts must often be sourced internationally. While an arms exporter, the Kingdom also imports significant amounts of its equipment, particularly from nations such as Volscina, Älemsi Negdel, Antora, and Sarvimaa.
