IronClaw Corporation Arctic Division

Introduction
The IronClaw Corporation Arctic Division represents a significant chapter in the complex geopolitical landscape of Gleron. Established on 03/12/2110, as a subsidiary of the IronClaw Corporation, this division was tasked with mining operations in the harsh, icy terrains of Sethblarelcha, a region largely i
gnored by the Quantonian Empire at the time.
Early Operations and Secession
Initially, the Arctic Division focused on extracting rare Gleron Elements, crucial for various industrial applications. The division operated under the radar of the Quantonian Empire, exploiting the rich mineral resources of the south pole without imperial oversight. However, in 2205, a directive from the main IronClaw Corporation to cease operations and evacuate Gleron was met with resistance from the division's commander, marking the beginning of its rogue status.
Discovery and Isolation
By 2210, the division struck a significant find - Stetch, a highly radioactive element potent for nuclear fission processes. Despite the initial small quantities, the potential for weaponization was clear. Over the subsequent decades, the division transitioned from a mining operation into a research-focused entity, culminating in the creation of the Endothermic Dispersal Bomb by 2340.
Expansion and Militarization
The discovery of a large Stetch ore deposit in 2730 revitalized the division's mining efforts, leading to the establishment of Tazriv Quarry, the largest on Gleron. By 2970, under new leadership from CEO Kelzirik Tuvolok, the division's focus shifted dramatically towards militarization, with the construction of nuclear silos initiating a secret arms race.
Secrecy and Conflict
Tuvolok's vision for the Arctic Division morphed into a radical defense strategy against perceived imperial overreach. By 2980, the division was fortified as a near-autonomous state, with extensive military installations aimed at countering Quantonian influence. The lockdown initiated by Tuvolok prevented any leakage of their nuclear ambitions.
Imperial Discovery and Warfare
The Quantonian Empire, upon discovering the nuclear build-up in 3005, intensified its surveillance, leading to a tense standoff that lasted decades. The situation escalated on November 18, 3055, when the Arctic Division launched nuclear missiles targeting critical Empire infrastructure. The swift interception of these missiles prevented a catastrophe but triggered the Battle of Sethblarelcha.
The Battle of Sethblarelcha
This three-year conflict was characterized by intense warfare across the frozen landscapes of Sethblarelcha. The Quantonian military faced a deeply entrenched enemy proficient in arctic warfare, leading to prolonged and brutal combat scenarios focused on attrition and tactical superiority.
Conclusion and Aftermath
The conflict concluded on April 17, 3058, with the destruction of the Arctic Division’s headquarters and the capture of its remaining facilities. Kelzirik Tuvolok was executed, and a detailed inventory revealed the alarming extent of the division's nuclear capabilities, with 200 silos constructed over its operational period. The Battle of Sethblarelcha not only marked the end of the Arctic Division but also served as a grim reminder of the dangers posed by rogue corporate entities in the geopolitically volatile world of Gleron.
