General Army

The General Army has remained the heart of Sprawn Valley's defense force since the end of the Avion Wars. The Leray champion is the commander in chief, but all military actions are advised by the council of mages. Furthermore, the General Army is not allowed to operate outside of Sprawn Valley.

The General Army troops are loyal to the Leray champion and the champion's elites. They are trained as infantry men to use energy rifles, but not so much to fight in official Leray battles. The use of spells for combat is optional, but many are not well trained in the arts of Leray magic for this unit.

Composition

Manpower

3,600 troops as of 1970.

Equipment

Armor varies based on assigned locations and sectors. Until fully trained, metallic body armor of the design of Sphere Gauge is used. This metallic armor is highly resistant to all magic, and uses Leray crystals in a combined internal micro-reactor to provide extra power for kinetic defenses and offensive purposes.

Weaponry

Energy rifles and stun sticks. Leray magic is a fallback weapon for all personnel.

Vehicles

There are no vehicles in Sprawn Valley, and none are commissioned for use to the General Army.

Structure

Standard, similar to the United States Army.

Tactics

Scouts report to commanders or their assigned units. No soldier is to engage any threat alone.

Training

Standard military tactics are involved in training, but so is the defense against magic as well as specific armor and weapon maintenance.

Logistics

Logistical Support

The League of Elites works with the General Army as a team.

Upkeep

There is a very small tax that is funneled to this upkeep, but most of the money actually comes in from the rewards of credits and internal business generated by Leray battles from Leray elites as well as some of the events hosted at Eldora Tower. For example, a sizable portion of the rewarded credits that would go to a tower elite following victory in their favor will be part of the upkeep, as many Leray wielders must have and pay that amount should they lose the battle.

History

The General Army only deploys to stop attempted threats to national security from highly dangerous criminals using dark magic. The Tower of Eldora is a place of value, since the superstructure is effectivley the heart of Sprawn Valley. Alternativley, the FMCI may step in to handle national threats.
