The Endertopian Armed Forces is the military of Endertopias. It was formally established with the Federation formed in 1830 after the events of the Redemption War. The Armed Forces traces its root back to the army of the Kingdom of Endria and the Royal Lethmian Army. The EAF was reformed in 1833, shortly after the Federation was formed. The Endertopian Air Force was conceived after the Great War, along with the distinction of the Grand Musical Division.

The EAF consists of 5 distinct service branches, the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coastwatch, and the Eclipse Special Tactics Team (EST).

Names

The Endertopian Armed Forces has several alternative names. The initialism used, EKA, is short for Endertopian Komirian Army, and is an honorary homage to General Komi of the Lethmian Army. Another name seldom used is the Enderton Army.

Organization

The EAF is headed by Chancellor General Gabriel Machitka, who is subordinate to the Ministry of Defense. The Chancellor General is able to be questioned by Hallerth, the lower house of the parliament.

Grand Musical Division

The Army Bands of the EAF form a distinct group known as the Grand Musical Division, or the GM Band. The GMD performs around the nation.

Equipment of the EKA-GMD

The GMD leases 3 155-mm howitzer from the Army, in addition to 10 smaller-caliber cannons. These are sometimes used for outdoor performances and special occasions.

Army

The Endertopian Army (EKA) is created when the revolts of 1833 led to the Federation of Endertopias being formed. The then Army of the Kingdom of Endria merged with the Lethmian Army overseeing the western territories to form the united Endertopian Army. The EKA has a strength of roughly 57 thousand soldiers. Most conscripts go to the Army.

Equipment of the EKA

The N1 and N9 Armoured Division each utilize some 70 units of the TaJ 2000 Self-propelled Artillery, a 155-mm auto-loading capable machine, the TaJ 2000 is capable of a high fire rate at the cost of having little ammo storage. There is, however, an additional supply car that can be used for more ammo.

The MIR-7 "Tachnika" Multiple Launch Rocket System features a 10x8 launch pad capable of extensive infantry fire support efforts. The MIR-7M is a variant that fires missiles instead.

The Army also operates a variety of helicopters (N7 Airborne Division) for offensive and reconnaissance purposes.

The EKA is in talks with parties in and outside Endertopias for the potential acquisition of UAVs.

Navy

The Endertopian Navy came straight from the old navy of Endria since it was the only one of the three kingdoms with access to the open seas. The current-day EKN operates 52 vessels in total. and has just over 23 thousand personnel.

The EKN is separated into the Northern (Tenshily) Fleet and the Southern (Portine) Fleet. The main power of the Navy comes in the form of its 4 Komia-class destroyers, with the first two of which, EKS Komi (GD101) and EKS Nelu (GD102), serving as the flagship of the Northern and Southern Fleets, respectively. The upgrade package for several older vessels are currently being planned and developed.

MEDIC

The Mobile Explosive Delivery Incognito Carrier, or MEDIC, is a missile boat designed by Enigma Propulsion, with assistance from Marlberg AB. The MEDIC is designed to be highly mobile and stealthy.

Air Force

The Endertopian Air Force (EKAF), only formed after the Great War, is the youngest branch of the three traditional services.

Coastwatch

The Endertopian Coastwatch became its own service branch, independent from the Navy in 1970. The Coastwatch is tasked with patrolling the Endertopian economic waters. To facilitate this mission, the Coastwatch operates 10 Magnaria-class offshore patrol ships, the Magnaria-class ships bears the EKS naval prefix but is wholly owned and used by the Coastwatch. The Coastwatch also operates 55 MPV2000 fast patrol boats, and the EKS Puffington (SP30), a special survey ship used by researchers, owned by Puffington University.

Eclipse Special Tactics Team

The Eclipse Special Tactics Team (EST) contains the special operators of the EAF.

The EST also works to provide protection for visiting diplomats, among other important tasks.

Industry

Enigma Propulsion

Enigma Propulsion is Endertopias' biggest arm developer and producer. The company has designed and produced several missiles and other forms of unguided projectiles utilizing its expertise with rockets and jets. Enigma is also involved in the production of several Endertopian variants of fighters jets for the EKAF.

Palaqua Shipworks

Palaqua Shipworks, headquartered in Palaqua, New Endria, is the contract ship builder of the Endertopian Navy. With design helps from allied nations, most of the Navy's and the Coastwatch's larger vessels were built in the ship yards of Palaqua.
