The ~~Redplate~~unit ~~Guard~~acts as the fourth branch of the armed forces, with it's origins coming from the Union of the Thrones in 1515. The guard is ~~also~~usually brigade sized, with a full battalion set aside to directly serving as the monarch's guards ~~responsible~~and ~~for~~as the protection of the Prime Minister. This specific battalion has been known as the Palatine Guards since the Modern Redplate guards use the most advanced gear Great Morstayblishia has to offer, usually produced by [[Ferrus industries]]. Three of it's four battalions, often called "The battling three", have taken part in every major war and peacekeeping operation since the 18th century and the War of Joralesia. Between them the battalions have more distinguished service citations than any other Regiment of the MBE. Redplate Guard's recruits are chosen with stricter standards than normal with specific interest being mental fortitude and loyalty alongside with good physical health. The recruits go through grueling 42 week training program in Fort Berbatov, some thirty miles southwest of Kladmere. Though the Redplate Guard's have hold several locations across [[Staynes]], [[Valeria]] and [[Caltharus]], Fort Berbatov act's as the Brigade's main training camp and thus carries the name of the Guard's progenitor Berbatov Haligan. Ever since the 18th century and the '''War of Joralesia''', the Redplate guard has had a military branch that has gained a elite force status in it's many wars. Currently this military branch consists of four motorized divisions and one armoured division. The Jomsguard divisions are known for their harsh training, that demands for physical and mental strength. It is also noteworthy that it doesn't matter what religion you come from, when joining the military branch, only physical and mental attributes together with absolute loyalty for the empire matter. This can also be seen in the motto of the Redplates: "''It's better die for the empire than to live for your self.''" Modern Redplate guards use the most advanced gear the United Kingdom has to offer, usually produced by [[Ferrus industries]]. One of the divisions is armed with the '''Ferrus Weapon system''' that combines a modified SC-AR4 rifle with a host of other electronics, clothing, pouches, and body armour. The helmet is an integral SPECTRE helmet fitted with real-time positioning and information system, and with light amplifiers for night vision. ~~[[File:Ferrus program jomsguard.jpg \|thumbnail\|Redplate guards using the Ferrus Weapon system\|link=Special:FilePath/Ferrus_program_jomsguard.jpg]]~~ ==Origins== Line 47 ⟶ 44: Everyone watching the events afar could see how the golden figure of the Staynish king was struck from his horse, disappearing to the ground. For a fleeting moment it seemed like the battle, or even the whole war, was decided just then and there, with the King either caught or captured. Suddenly the sound of charging horses filled the battlefield once more. Reciting the Calthian words of honor and loyalty, the knights in red charged towards the crazed melee. Despite the battle seeming lost, the knights had decided to follow through with their promise, no matter the result. Lances pierced armour, swords cut flesh and hammers crushed bones. Then the Staynish king was lifted from the ground and given a new horse. Bolstered with the knights in red, the tattered remains of Lambertus IIIs bodyguard fought past the rebels and brought their king to safety. After the battle Lambertus III decreed that from that day onwards, his and his family’s guards would wear red armour, in honour to those who had done: As their honour advised and as their loyalty demanded.~~(edited)~~
