Artesjan Emergency Council
Anocratic Stratocracy
The Peacekeepers of the Plains
When the Artesjan civil war broke out, one of the first big players to appear was the Kingdom of Great Taraburg. The Kingdom quickly seized much of the Sackarti plains, once under Artesjan rule, and massacred anyone they deemed to be a "Colonizer". The Artesjan Emergency Council, based in Poulata Airbase, has so far been critical in slowing Taraburg's military actions, bombing its many motorized militias into the ground with the 11th and 75th air wings.
Poulata has become one of the largest ad-hoc airports in the country since the civil war broke out, carrying out nearly non-stop airlifts to the Szaganad Safe Zone, mostly refugees fleeing south from the plains, and west from the atrocities of Free Artesja. Szaganad is the only relatively safe place in the Ungri mountains since the Federation collapsed, that and Hannanstadt, which doesn't accept refugees.
One can only hope the Safe Zone remains as such...
The Sentinel - Klika Tamakova
Tamakov Ulvar is many things, but soft he is not. The highest-ranking military officer in the AEC, he commands the 5th and 22nd Infantry divisions, as well as the various militia mobilized by the Council. Before the Civil War, he was the active commander of Poulata airbase and saw action on the Thyrimian front during the Great War.
On council matters, General Tamakov presides over the GIAC-TV (Gardia Civil - Tamakov), the most conservative faction, which advocates for a military-dominated government even after the transition to democracy is finished through the concept of Citizen Service. Which would limit voting rights exclusively to members of the military, this, of course, puts Tamakov at odds with the two other faction heads, but he is nothing if not "open for discussion".
The Scribe - Klika Tahomas
Tahomas Brachnar needs no introduction, he heads the VAM-TAH (Violeti Arteska Modratava Sozcialiste - Tahomas ), a very ambitious yet somewhat popular faction, especially among the younger soldiery and militia. VAM-TAH advocates for a Social-Democratic styled government with some of its more dedicated members even dreaming bigger, more... Utopian
Tahomas is generally the most stubborn of the council. There is, of course, the issue of his declared relationship with Colonel Nonna, though they have both stated that this in no way affects their leadership or political decision-making; whether this is true or not may be revealed in the future.
The Scribe commands the aerial operations of the AEC, mainly, bombing and air superiority missions against Great Taraburg and maintaining the No-Fly-Zone over the Szaganad Safe Zone.
The Colonel - Klika Nonna
The primary defensive and offensive arm of the AEC is their tank corps, comprised of armored divisions 1st, 5th, and 12th, along with mechanized divisions 44. and 112.
Colonel Nonna Yugashvili commands all of these in coordination with the two other faction leaders; maintenance and logistics are also her responsibility. Nonna heads the second-most popular faction, MOD-NON (Modernista - Nonna). Pushing for radical changes to the way the Artesjan Vehr operates, favoring technological advantage over all else, and with good reason too, the primary reason that Taraburg has been repulsed repeatedly is that the AEC uses Tanks retrofitted with makeshift armor and ad-hoc firepower grades.
The factions can only hope that their discussions remain civil
