The Entire Asuropia System is ruled by Tsar Nikolai Zynko. Zynko is a smart, young leader yet ruthless and cruel to his enemies. He resides on the capital planet of Voskia in the fortress city of Vostragrad. On the planet Voskia, the First Born are brought up to be trained in the Legendary Engineer Korp. Any other Voskians, may either join the equally highly trained Voskian Army Regiments or the local PDF.
The Engineer Korp are given the best training and weaponry. They are highly disciplined and extremely loyal to fellow brothers in arms. They are an "Engineer" army only by name, these soldiers are trained to fight on on open warfare, trenches warfare or even in urban warfare. They are best fighting on the defensive, usually not giving any ground to the enemy, and mounting lighting quick counterattacks. All Engineer's wear a Blood Red Jacket with brown trousers. They are also given boots, gloves and specially made Voskian Carapace armor. The Voskian are given a Bearskin Shako to complete the image.
After years of fighting in the Engineer Korp, the veteran may choose to either join the Winter Wolves or the Fortress Guard. Both units are made up of highly talented veterans.
The Winter Wolves are made up of small squads of Elite Veterans who do most of the recon work, and usually lead the assaults. Winter Wolves are usually lightly armed and carry Lascarbines instead of Lasrifles. Lascarbines are usually made of lighter material, although the sizes are generally the same as the Lasrifles. Winterwolves are demolition experts and carry as many demolitions as they can. Winterwolves also are known to fight in fully mounted regiments. The Winterwolves are given White Uniforms to blend in with the enviroment. They are given specially made Voskian Carapace armor that is lighter than the Engineer Korp type, yet strong enough to protect the soldier. Winter Wolves generally do not wear the massive shakos that the Engineers and Fortress Guard, instead they wear smaller woolen hats.
The Fortress Guard are the elite of the elite. They are the heaviest infantry that the Voskians have. They defend the Fortress wear their leader Zynko resides in. They are equipped with the heaviest armor and the legendary “Frostrifles”. Fortress Guard fly into battle on the Kuyursk built Z-1 Hinds, and are usually dropped in to support lines that are unmanned, or to go into enemy lines to wreck havoc. The Fortress Guard are given a royal blue uniform along with Heavy Carapace Armor. They sport the massive white Bearskin Shakos, that are beyond rare.
The Voskian recieves most of their Vehicles from the Forgeworld of Kuyursk. The Forgeworld produces the Z-1 and Z-2 Hinds along with the BTR and the LR-44.
The Kuyursk pattern Z-1 Hinds are famed for their speeds in insertions and extractions. They are heavily relied upon by the Voskians, as the arrival of the Hinds mean either fire power or reinforcements. The Z-2 Hind are converted to bring heavy fire power to the enemy while still being able to bring reinforcements.
The Kuyursk pattern BTR, is based loosely on the Imperium's Chimera, and are not widely used in the Engineer Korp. They are mostly given to the Voskian Army Regiments as those regiments are not given any Hinds. The BTR are equipped with the Kuyursk pattern autocannon.
The famous Kuyursk pattern LR-34 are old beyond memory. These vehicles are used sparingly, as the method to build them has long been forgotten. These Russes are now antiques, and the more modern LR-44 are built to replace them. The new LR-44 are built on a different chassis and differ from the Russes of the Imperium. The new Russes are faster and have more maneuverability than its predecessor.
