Novayan Army (NSC)

The Novayan Army, also known as the Novayan Armed Forces, serves as the army of the Novayan Commonwealth, the core of the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth. It was vital to the development of Novaya as a regional, and later global, superpower/hyperpower and serves as the Novaya Sector's terrestrial air and ground forces.
The Novayan Army had its roots in the core expeditionary forces of Novaya during the Novayan Unification Wars, an imperialistic campaign later turned into a global war of colonial expansion and conquests, where the expeditionary forces were unified and developed into a viable standing army; during the Novayan Unification Wars, the Novayan Army's size was dramatically increased and its doctrines and tactics improved under the leadership of General Raphael Norsoutha and Lieutenant General Takahashi Tomoshima. After a coup d'etat which overthrew the corrupt government of Novaya, Raphael's brother, Felipe, a formidable military commander, was made Marshal and Supreme Commander of the entire Novayan Armed Forces, leading the disciplined and equipped Novayan military to victory during the final days of the Novayan Unification Wars.
The Novayan Army was outdated by the time the Greater Novayan Federation was formed, resulting in the disbanding and eventual transformation of the Novayan Army into the first military units of the GNF Armed Forces, the unified military forces of the Nazi-esque Greater Novayan Federation. After the Great Sundering, however, General Daniel Norsoutha, who was in charge of a Novayan army group, returned to Novaya IV within one-two years with a manifesto which called for a monarchy-like military dictatorship, or hereditary military dictatorship, a new core element and a series of reforms, which led to the reformation of the Greater Novayan Federation into the Prussian/Imperial German-influenced/styled Novayan Stellar Commonwealth; during Daniel's expedition, the disbanded Novayan Armed Forces, disgruntled by the GNF's government and policies, launched a revolt and renamed itself the Novayan Army. The revolt ended peacefully after General Daniel returned and reinstated the Novayan Armed Forces, now officially under the name Novayan Army.
In ACS 3,218,509 the Novayan Army, under the NSC Army, fought a series of successful wars against Penelopi, Gallia, Roma, Picti, Soxania, Maximoria, Korona, the Continental System, and the Greater East Void Co-Prosperity Sphere, allowing the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth to annex, colonize and/or puppet its adversaries, establishing itself as the Void's dominant hyperpower in 86M120. The Novayan Army became the core of the NSC Army, with the Hakidonmuyan Army being the NSC Army's second core.
