The Royal Rasalhague Army, or KungsArmé, is the military arm of the Free Rasalhague Republic.

History


Technology of the KungsArmé

Due to its position between the Lyran Commonwealth and the Draconis Combine and the Even Scale Policy, upon its formation the KungsArmé was dominated by LCAF and DCMS equipment, such as the Commando, Panther, Dragon and Zeus BattleMechs.

After the Clan Invasion and the loss of Terra to the Word of Blake, ComStar assisted in bolstering Rasalhague military manufacturing, resulting in co-production agreements to produce a number of classic Star League designs and as well as new designs such as the Beowulf and Viking BattleMechs, Huscarl OmniFighter and Kobold Battle Armor which appeared in equal numbers in both the Com Guard and KungsArmé.

The equipment composition of the KungsArmé only become more eclectic after the annexation of the Republic into the Ghost Bear Dominion, with both large numbers of second-line Clan 'Mech designs and Word of Blake machines taken as battle salvage during the Jihad appearing in their ranks.

Units of the KungsArmé

When originally formed, the name of the KungsArmé's brigades was used to refer to the overall weight of their elements.

Drakøns

The Drakøns are the KungsArmé Heavy BattleMech regiments, and thus formed the "trooper" units of the Rasalhague military.

Freemen

The Freemen were Medium BattleMech regiments of the KungsArmé.

Hussars

The Hussars were once the KungsArmé's Light-Medium regiments.

Kavalleri

The Kavalleri were designed primarily for scouting and mobility.


Gunzburg Eagles

The only Assault weight regiment after the dissolution of the 1st Tyr, the Gunzburg Eagles was destroyed during the Clan Invasion but ultimately rebuilt after the integration into the Ghost Bear Touman.

1st Tyr Regiment

Unique among the KungsArmé for existing prior to the formation of the Free Rasalhague Republic, the 1st Tyr was originally a Lyran Commonwealth funded Assault BattleMech regiment manned by Tyr freedom fighters which saw action during the Fourth Succession War before being disbanded after the Ronin Wars, only to be revived as a symbol of rebirth after the Clan Invasion.
