The '''Armed Forces of the Federated Suns''' ('''AFFS''') is the military branch of the [[Federated Suns]], the [[Successor State]] ruled for most of its [[history]] by [[House Davion]]. Its precursor, the [[Federated Peacekeeping Forces]], served the Federated Suns from the [[23rd century|23rd]] to the [[26th century]]. After [[3041]], it was integrated into the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth]] (AFFC).<ref name=20YU16-1>''20 Year Update'' p. 16, Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth</ref> This organization was short-lived, however, as the AFFC was largely folded back into the Federated Suns State Command after the [[Lyran Alliance|Lyran]] secession in [[3057]]. Ten years later, the AFFC was renamed the AFFS in conjunction with the renaming of the nation.<ref name=FCCW180>''FedCom Civil War (sourcebook)'' p. 180, Genesis</ref>

−
Most units within the AFFS, with the notable exception of the Ceti Hussars, are organized around a [[BattleMech]] regiment, which is roughly 108 'Mechs. To this regiment, [[combat vehicle|conventional vehicles]] (tanks, V.T.O.L.s, etc.), artillery, infantry, and even [[aerospace fighter|aerospace fighters]] that complement the 'Mechs are traditionally attached. In some units, however, the AFFS took this a step further.
 
  
−
Many units within the AFFS are Regimental Combat Teams (RCTs). Front-line RCTs are composed of one 'Mech regiment, three of vehicles, a battalion of [[artillery]], five regiments of [[infantry]], and a fighter wing. Second-line, or militia, RCTs are usually composed of smaller numbers of these supporting forces. Front-line RCTs are usually commanded by a Marshal.{{cn}}

==Overview==
 +
'''MekTek''' was a series of mods called MekPaks for [[MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries]] that added numerous new units and weapons to the game raising the total number of units from 44 to 126. The mod was available for free via the [http://www.mektek.net/index.php MekTek web site], but is no longer hosted on the site.

+
The MekTek mod did More than just add units and weapons, it also changed several preexisting items in the game. One noticeable change was the direct revamp of many of the weapons' stats and changes to the original [[BattleMech]]s' weapon layouts and aesthetics. One such example was how the ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]''' "face" was changed, along with the change in its weapon layout to include a [[Rocket Launcher]]. The paint schemes in the game were all changed (and many new ones were added), yet computer units in single player kept the same number of paint job they had had before, causing abnormal color schemes to show up on some maps (e.g. alpine camouflage on desert missions).
−
The AFFS has several layers of command. The first is that of the national authority. Headquarted in the Fox's Den on [[New Avalon]], the Prince and his or her military advisers can effectively control the entirety of the AFFS from the high-tech command bunker. The top layer often concerns itself with matters of overall strategy, planning, and force readiness.
 
  
−
Often, responsibility for localized deployment of military forces belongs to the regional commanders. The [[Federated Suns]] is broken into three Marches: the interior [[Crucis March]] and the border areas of the [[Capellan March]] and [[Draconis March]] (though in Dark Ages, there is a fourth March: the [[Periphery March]]), which are commanded by Field Marshals. These Marches are further subdivided into Operations Areas: three for the Crucis March and two each for the Capellan and Draconis Marches, which are also commanded by Field Marshals. Within the Crucis March, these OAs are further subdivided into traditional Combat Theaters. On the border Marches, however, the OAs are broken down into Polymorphous Defense Zones (PDZs). Regardless of the name, these regions are commanded by Marshals.

In an effort to equalize [[Inner Sphere]] technology with that of [[Clan]] Technology, all Clan beam weapons had noticeable heat increases, making them difficult to use. In addition, standard Inner Sphere SRMs were all given inferno qualities.

Finally, the AFFS also has brigade commanders. Largely concerned with matters of supply, orders for troop movements that originate from New Avalon pass through brigade commanders. Brigade commanders often hold other roles within the AFFS, such as Field Marshal [[Andrew Terlecki, Jr.]] who, in addition to commanding the Deneb Light Cavalry, was named director of the [[Crucis March]] in [[3067]].
