Wendover Militia

Post by Thomas Rivers »

In response to growing anarchy in Westminster, the Wendover Militia has been raised to assist in defense of the Commonwealth and as a ground force supplement to air forces at RBAF Wendover. The militia is a purely defensive force and shall act as a national guard component to be deployed in times wherein the Isles may come under attack, to preserve order during times of martial law, and to protect the people of Willowshire. Ten-thousand recruits have swelled the ranks of the militia, and new barracks and training facilities are testing the limits of their capacity at Wendover. Given the likelihood that a new Lord Protector will be elected, fears that the militia may be called up to active duty are being allayed. However, it has proven prudent to consider the safest approach for the protection of the Brettish people, and the addition of the militia will effect that protection. Ross-on-Wye Shipyards is currently in negotiations with local officials to discuss the possibility of expanding their manufacturing retinue to include armored personnel vehicles, armored tanks, and smoothbore artillery - an area as of yet unexplored by the naval-centric company. "The defense of the Commonwealth," noted Lord Thomas Rivers in an interview, "is our top priority. We must protect the realm from those who would seek to compromise our sovereignty."

With the resumption of normalcy in Westminster and the death of Sir Thomas Rivers, the Wendover Militia has been ordered to stand down. However, due to the circumstances surrounding Lord Rivers' death, the militiamen are being trained in naval warfare in what an expected (yet unannounced) retaliatory strike against the pirate enclave near Port Impregnable.
