{{Update Needed|[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]|[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2]]|[[Field Report 2765: Periphery]]}} ==Organization== ==Command== ==Formations and Units within the Rim Worlds Army== ===Reunification War=== By the end of the Age of War and throughout the Reunification War the [[Rim Worlds Army]] was notionally based around three brigades of regular forces, with House Amaris' household forces forming another subcommand within the RWA. The RWA claimed a total strength of some twenty-five combined arms regiments but was heavily dependent on conventional armor and infantry, with a total [[BattleMech]] strength of approximately five to six regiments, but the BattleMechs possessed by the Republic were distributed amongst the various regular formations in [[company]] and [[battalion]] strength. When civil war broke out in the Republic in 2575 the chain of command was effectively shattered, with units either remaining loyal to [[First Consul]] [[Gregory Amaris]], declaring their support for the [[Rim Provisional Government]] and [[Rift Republican Army]] or splitting along partisan lines.<ref name="H:RWp43">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 43</ref> ====Line Formations==== =====Amaris Household Guard===== :* [[Republican Guards (Rim Worlds Republic)|Republican Guards]]<ref name=HRUWp154>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 154</ref> :* [[Tartan Brigade]]<ref name=HRUWp154/> -

The actual operational naval strength was significantly lower than this, as a number of ships were undergoing refits.<ref name="H:RWp43"/> By the onset of operations in the Republic by [[Task Force MAILED FIST]] as they implemented [[Operation MAILED FIST]] - the [[Star League]] intervention in the civil war in support of Gregory Amaris - the active Rim Worlds Army fleet had been reduced to nine ships, two of which were destroyers and seven were corvettes. One corvette was destroyed in action at [[Finmark]] in [[2586]]; the remaining WarShips remained out of the conflict until [[Admiral]] [[Hakim Wbika]] launched a successful strike at an SLDF transport fleet in the [[Newtown Square]] system in January [[2588]]. Wbika's raid saw nineteen SLDF [[JumpShip]]s and twenty-four [[DropShip]]s destroyed before the convoy escort cruiser [[Rapacious (Individual WarShip)|SLS ''Rapacious'']] and [[Alacrity (Individual WarShip)|SLS ''Alacrity'']] engaged and destroyed or crippled both destroyers and three corvettes, leaving a single RWA corvette the only survivor of the engagement.<ref name="H:RWp135">''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 135</ref> Of the other naval vessels that had been in service with the RWA in 2575, five were scuttled as a result of combat between RWA and RRA forces, two having been destroyed in action and the other three rendered effectively useless, while three had been undergoing refits and spent the entire of the civil war in varying states of disrepair.<ref name="H:RWp43"/> ===2651-2752=== By [[2651]], [[Fiona Amaris]] was the commander of the Rim Worlds Army. In compliance with the new [[Council Edict of 2650]], the military officially had the strength of twelve BattleMech regiments and eight conventional regiments.<ref name=TPp53>''The Periphery'', p. 53</ref> From [[2741]] to [[2752]], General [[Jasmine Amaris]] was commander of the Rim Worlds Army.<ref name=ER:2750p92>''Era Report: 2750'', p. 92</ref> ===Amaris Coup=== By [[2765]], the Rim Worlds Army had expanded to twenty-four divisions. These were subdivided into three brigades along SLDF standards. However, these were mostly administrative units and in practice the regiments fought individually.<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 53</ref> Altogether there were 95 BattleMech regiments and 115 conventional regiments within the RWA.<ref name=H:LT1p50>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 50</ref> The standard deployment called for four BattleMech regiments and five mechanized infantry regiments per division. Furthermore, the Rim Worlds Republic hired eight divisions of mercenaries, though no single mercenary unit was larger than a regiment. The Rim Worlds Army was also fielding higher numbers of advanced technologies than any other house military apart from the SLDF itself. Most of these had been acquired through President Stefan Amaris' connection with First Lord Richard Cameron, but also through personal contacts the periphery lord had made with arms suppliers within the Terran Hegemony. The Rim Worlds was subjected to fewer military restrictions than the other Star League Territorial-States, taking full advantage of this to build extensive weapons manufacturing plants and prestigious military academies. The latter contribute to a level of fanaticism within the Rim Worlds Republic that matches any within the militaries of the Member-States. ====Line Formations==== =====Imperial Divisions===== The Imperial Divisions are the elite of the Rim Worlds Army. Uncompromisingly loyal to President Amaris, they boast a higher contingent of BattleMech regiments compared to other units within the RWA. Typical Imperial Divisions field a pair of BattleMech brigades, one infantry brigade and one armored brigade. They are equipped with the finest 'Mechs the Rim Worlds Republic can acquire, including many models typically exclusive to Royal units within the SLDF.<ref>''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 18</ref> :* [[Imperial Division Stefan Amaris]] :** [[4th Amaris Dragoons]] :* [[Imperial Division Catherine Dormax]] :* [[Imperial Division Hector Rowe]] :* [[Imperial Division Tadeo Amaris]] =====Republican Guards===== The Republican Guard Divisions are relatively new formations, created after the Council Edict of 2650 was overturned in 2752. They formed around the original Amaris Republican Guard which had survived the Reunification War more or less unscathed. That unit, now a part of the First Republican Guards Division, is one of the most prestigious within the RWA. These units typically field four BattleMech and five mechanized infantry regiments, but the First features a high contingent of six BattleMech regiments paired with three of mechanized infantry.<ref>''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 19</ref> :* [[1st Republican Guards]] - Apollo's Pythons :** [[Amaris Republican Guards]] :* [[2nd Republican Guards]] - Amaris' Aces :* [[3rd Republican Guards]] - Heaven, Earth, and Hell :* [[4th Republican Guards]] - Finmark Fusiliers :* [[5th Republican Guards]] - The Counterpunch Division :* [[6th Republican Guards]] - Amaris' Falconers =====Amaris Regulars===== Amaris Regular Divisions are the standard fighting force of the RWA. Because most of the Amaris Regulars are concentrated in the industrial heartland of the Rim Worlds Republic, the units are kept well equipped at all times. Regiments are typically assigned in pairs (one BattleMech and one infantry) to their garrison worlds, with the division HQ world assigned a second infantry regiment.<ref>''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 20</ref> :* [[1st Amaris Regulars]] - The Amaris Avengers :** [[1st Amaris Armored]] - The Timbuktu Terrors :* [[2nd Amaris Regulars]] - The Outriders :* [[3rd Amaris Regulars]] - The Firekeepers :* [[4th Amaris Regulars]] - The Four Horsemen :* [[5th Amaris Regulars]] - The Picket Line Division :* [[6th Amaris Regulars]] - Taborri's Terrors :* [[7th Amaris Regulars]] - The Republic's Endeavour :* [[8th Amaris Regulars]] - The Manifest Destiny Division =====Amaris Lancers===== The fast-response force of the RWA, Amaris Lancers don't demonstrate the fanatical loyalty seen elsewhere within the military. Each division has a full battalion of rare LAMs at their disposal, but because the Rim Worlds Republic does not presently have the capacity to manufacture these itself, the battalions are not often at full strength.<ref>''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 21</ref> * [[Imperial Lancers]]<ref name=hlot121/> * [[10th Amaris Lancers|Tenth Amaris Lancers]] - Apollo's Bow<ref name=FR:2765Pp21>''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 21, "Amaris Lancers - Divisional Status"</ref> * [[11th Amaris Lancers|Eleventh Amaris Lancers]] - The Blue Diamond Division<ref name=FR:2765Pp21/> * [[12th Amaris Lancers|Twelfth Amaris Lancers]] - The Hyperborea Division<ref name=FR:2765Pp21/> * [[13th Amaris Lancers|Thirteenth Amaris Lancers]] - The Aluminum Overcoat Division<ref name=FR:2765Pp21/> * [[14th Amaris Lancers|Fourteenth Amaris Lancers]] - The Black Guards Division<ref name=FR:2765Pp21/> * [[15th Amaris Lancers|Fifteenth Amaris Lancers]] - The Ironclad Division<ref name=FR:2765Pp21/> * [[16th Amaris Lancers|Sixteenth Amaris Lancers|]]<ref name=hlot121/> * [[17th Amaris Lancers|Seventeenth Amaris Lancers]]<ref>''The Periphery (sourcebook)'', p. 56</ref> * [[18th Amaris Lancers|Eighteenth Amaris Lancers]]<ref name=hlot121/> * [[19th Amaris Lancers|Nineteenth Amaris Lancers]]<ref name=hlot121/> * [[20th Amaris Lancers|Twentieth Amaris Lancers]]<ref name=hlot121/> ====Naval Forces==== By April 2765, the Rim Worlds Navy had grown to 273 WarShips according to the [[Star League Intelligence Command]]. The Rim Worlds Navy was notably light, focused on Corvettes, Frigates and Destroyers, with only a few cruisers and battleships known to serve in the navy.<ref name="FR2765p4">''Field Report 2765: Periphery'', p. 4</ref> The breakdown of Rim Worlds WarShips known to SLIC in mid-2765 consisted of: :* 1x ''[[Tracker]]''-class Surveillance Ship :* 32x ''[[Bonaventure (WarShip class)|Bonaventure]]''-class Corvettes :* 52x ''[[Pinto (WarShip class)|Pinto]]''-class Corvettes :* 30x ''[[Vigilant]]''-class Corvettes :* 65x ''[[Riga (WarShip class)|Riga I]]''-class Frigates :* 18x ''[[Carson (WarShip class)|Carson]]''-class Destroyers :* 40x ''[[Essex I]]''-class Destroyers :* 21x ''[[Lola I]]''-class Destroyers :* 1x ''[[Naga (WarShip class)|Naga]]''-class Destroyers :* 1x ''[[Dart (WarShip class)|Dart]]''-class Light Cruiser :* 2x ''[[Aegis (WarShip class)|Aegis]]''-class Heavy Cruisers :* 3x ''[[Avatar (WarShip class)|Avatar]]''-class Heavy Cruisers :* 7x ''[[Monsoon]]''-class Battleships While the Rim Worlds navy was known to consist predominantly of older designs, many of them relatively lightweight compared to modern Star League Navy ships,<ref name="FR2765p4"/> the sheer number of hulls possessed openly by the Rim Worlds Navy was approximately the equivalent of twenty or more SLDF naval squadrons;<ref name="H:LoTV1p35">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 35</ref> the SLDF navy was fielding approximately 2,250 WarShips at the same point in time, two-thirds of which were on the front-lines with the remaining third in the garrison fleets, but the Rim Worlds navy still equated to approximately five SLDF Fleets.<ref name="H:LoTV1p46">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 46</ref> This was at a time when the other Member-States were fielding less than seventy WarShips in total.<ref name="FR2765p4"/> In 2766, the first three [[Stefan Amaris (WarShip class)|Stefan Amaris]]-class Battleship hulls were completed (with two more in production).<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 150</ref> As part of an agreement with First Lord Richard Cameron, the Rim Worlds Navy began to operate dozens of vessels from the Star League Reserve Fleet, allowing the Star League Navy to divert more WarShip squadrons to combat the Periphery Uprising. By the time of the Coup, the Rim Worlds Navy now numbered well over 300 WarShips.<ref name=H:LT1p50/> ===Amaris Empire Armed Forces=== In the aftermath of the Amaris Coup and the death of First Lord Richard Cameron, Stefan Amaris established the Amaris Empire, a union of the Rim Worlds Republic and the Terran Hegemony. The rolls of the defunct Hegemony Armed Forces were reopened and became a branch of the new Amaris Empire Armed Forces. The Rim Worlds Army was similarly incorporated into the AEAF. At its inception, the AEAF boasted four armies: ====Imperial Liberation Army==== Commander: General [[Javier Park]]<ref name=HLT1p55>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 55</ref> The most elite units within the former Rim Worlds Army were formed up into the Imperial Liberation Army. Initially, the twenty-four divisions within the Hegemony (sixteen RWA and eight mercenary) were split evenly between the three new armies, but the Imperial Liberation Army later grew to seventeen divisions by 2772. They were responsible for the defense of the Core Province, Terra and Emperor Stefan Amaris himself. They also trained the first Hegemony Patriot units. :* Imperial Corps :* Central Corps Alpha :* Central Corps Beta :* Homeguard Corps ====First Liberation Army==== Commander: General [[Sibeliy Amaris]]<ref name=HLT1p55/> When formed in 2767, the First Liberation Army fielded eight divisions, including some mercenaries. By 2772 it had grown to twelve divisions. The army was commanded by a third cousin of Emperor Stefan Amaris and responsible for the defense of the Lockdale and Lone Star Provinces. :* Coreward Corps Alpha :* Coreward Corps Beta :* Spinward Corps Alpha :* Spinward Corps Beta ====Second Liberation Army==== Commander: General [[Uribar Minguzzan]]<ref name=HLT1p55/> As above, the Second Liberation Army was formed from an even split of the twenty-four divisions that took part in the coup. Within five years it had grown to twelve divisions. The unit suffered from inadequate logistical support during the [[Amaris Civil War]] and its performance suffered duly. :* Rimward Corps Alpha :* Rimward Corps Beta :* Antispinward Corps Alpha :* Antispinward Corps Beta ====Rim Worlds Army==== Commander: Regent [[Mohammed Selim]] The short-lived Rim Worlds Army was responsible for the defense of the Rim Worlds Republic. Most of these units were second rate, not entrusted with the success of Operation APOTHEOSIS (the Amaris Coup). In total there were fifteen BattleMech, thirty-six conventional and forty-five militia regiments stationed within the Republic. The Rim Worlds Army was destroyed during Kerensky's campaign against the periphery realm (2767-2769). ===Other Units=== ====Line Formations==== =====Amaris Cavaliers===== :* [[127th Amaris Cavaliers]] :* [[197th Amaris Cavaliers]]<ref name=H:LT2p83>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 83</ref> :* [[402nd Amaris Cavaliers]]<ref name=HLoTV1p103/> :* [[422nd Amaris Cavaliers]]<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 72</ref> =====Amaris Chasseurs===== :* [[Eighth Amaris Chasseurs]] :* [[Eighteenth Amaris Chasseurs]] - Death's Head Regiment<ref name=JFSp22>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 22</ref> :* [[Twenty-second Amaris Chasseurs]]<ref name=H:LT2p83/> :* [[Twenty-third Amaris Chasseurs]]<ref name=HLoTV1p103/> :* [[Twenty-ninth Amaris Chasseurs]]<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 86</ref> :* [[Thirty-third Amaris Chasseurs]]<ref name=HLoTV1p103/> =====Amaris Dragoons===== :* First Amaris Dragoons :* Second Amaris Dragoons :* Third Amaris Dragoons :* Fourth Amaris Dragoons - The first unit to arrive in the [[Terran Hegemony]] after [[Richard Cameron II|Richard Cameron]] asked [[Stefan Amaris]]'s help in garrisoning the Hegemony.<ref>''The Star League'', p. 80</ref> The unit employed nuclear devices to destroy a portion of the [[Royal Black Watch|Black Watch Highlanders]], the First Lord's bodyguard unit, during the takeover of [[Terra]].<ref>''The Star League'', p. 83</ref><ref>''Northwind Highlanders'', p. 17</ref> :* Fifth Amaris Dragoons :* Sixth Amaris Dragoons :* Seventh Amaris Dragoons :* Eighth Amaris Dragoons :* [[Ninth Amaris Dragoons]]<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 75</ref> :* [[Tenth Amaris Dragoons]]<ref name=HLoTV1p103>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 103</ref> :* [[Seventeenth Amaris Dragoons]]<ref name=HLoTV1p103/> :* [[Thirty-third Amaris Dragoons]] :* [[Fifty-seventh Amaris Dragoons]]<ref name=HLoTV1p103/> :* [[Seventy-seventh Amaris Dragoons]] :* [[Ninety-ninth Amaris Dragoons]] - The Ninety-ninth Dragoons were made famous for counterinsurgency tactics.
