Frozen Armada: Origins
05 Jan 2020SkyaLykos
The founding members of the galactic Frozen Armada are commanders flying the Federal Standard, most of which tracing lineage back to Earth, in an area nearly central to the North American continent, near a region locally known as the Great Lakes. They base their business mostly in trade, war, and protection, delving into other trades as to meet their whim.The Armada itself also carries with it some origin around the Great Lakes. The United States of America, another federation notable for its first use of atomic weaponry and aerial warfare, became home for the original Frozen Armada in the late 27th century, becoming a small militia of freedom fighters until following the spread of human culture to the skies in the early 30th. Their abhorrence of injustice squared them solidly against some of the more ambitious rulers, as time went on, taking on dictators in all forms, and ushering in new forms of government in as replacements, helping them flourish into powerful hubs of trade, commerce, and policing headquarters for similar entities.
The Armada then faced its own demise: civil war. Following the rise of the current galactic Federation, the Armada fell into infighting as laws and ordinances were set in place. The Armada disbanded, save for five members. The General moved the Armada out of the Federation's area of influence and placed it under a period of leave while the remaining members rebuilt its foundation.
The Frozen Armada is to return to much its original tenets, those put in place by the founders back on Earth in the late 27th century:
No land is to be ruled by so few as to allow absolute rule.
No man is to be placed under yolk of slavery for any reason.
No life is to be taken in the name of chaos.
A corpsman would rather die at the hands of the enemy in battle than waste away in their camps.
The change in core value marks the first major change in direction in the Armada's history, and will be inaugurated by a reintroduction to Federal space at a later date. The Armada welcomes new members from this moment forward, and will do all in it's power to aid those under it's Standard.
Long live the Armada! Long live the Federation!
