Red Jackal Brigade

The Red Jackal Brigade is a heavy RP based guild on the Horde side of Sha'tar. It is led both IC and OOC by Tavarion Evergale. It is based on a strict type of military regime in service of the sin'dorei kingdom of Quel'Thalas and has a less than good reputation in the elven lands. Its forums can be found at www.redjackalbrigade.eu.
== History ==
The Red Jackal Brigade, previously known as the Sunfire Vanguard, was in the beginning under the command of Centurion Sithren Strifeheart. During his command the regiment took part in many campaigns but despite an appearance of an orderly and successful regime the contingent of soldiers and mercenaries managed to receive a dark reputation.
=== Push For Northrend Campaign ===
The regiment served in a campaign across the continent of Northrend, alongside the Warsong Offensive and the Argent Crusade. While members were free to spend their time as they wished, weekly planned meetings were held where the regiment struck out in two teams at various locations within their current zone, forever advancing towards Icecrown.
In the end the Vanguard managed to acquire the firepower of Ogrim's hammer and bombarded the undead forces at Scourgeholme. However the Vanguard got caught between the Scourge and the bombardment and few made it out alive.
=== Trouble in Ghostlands Campaign ===
After the decimation in Scourgeholme several months passed before Sithren Strifeheart was ordered to reform the Vanguard. New officers were assigned, Corvanna Ela'shiel, and Soraya Skydancer and some returned, Warleader Blackscar and Magistrix Dalnara. Their station within the Thalassian pass, the old command post of Strifeheart, was meant to be a short one. However they stumbled upon remnants of the Cult of the Damned. In the following weeks a cat and mouse game was played out in woods of Quel'thalas.
The local trolls had been tricked into cooperation by the cult but were quickly pacified as the regiment performed a brutal attack on the troll's own soil. Soon after there was an increase in Scourge activity flowing from Deatholme as previously thought disabled necropoli began to reactivate. In a final push on the Scourge outpost the regiment managed to slay the leader of the cult with heavy casualties, nearly resulting in Centurion Strifeheart's death.
=== Manhunt in Outland Campaign ===
The regiment was recently engaged in a campaign that ranged across the Outland, chasing down a rogue Scryer by the name of Sarath Valantir who had struck a deal with the Burning Legion. After many forays into various heavily fortified positions under the control of Sarath's minions the regiment managed to confront the traitor and end his life, and thus the threat to Silvermoon which he posed.
Due to the successful nature of the manhunt, many of the senior officers of the regiment managed to acquire transfers out of the regiment, leaving the dark stigma behind them.
=== Reformation ===
The current iteration of the regiment was recently formed as the result of the transfer of command took place between the former and the current Centurion. The new Centurion Tavarion Evergale wasted no time in enforcing a much stricter and harder regime as with a deeper focus on discipline and order than those before him had enacted.
As a result of the new leadership the Sunfury Spire deemed it suitable to rename the regiment, calling it the Red Jackal Brigade. Some say this is to reflect their nature of being a pack of scavenging dogs who the Spire can then set loose on their enemies without much concern, but any such claims has been officially denied.
Shortly after the change of leadership the regiment was stationed in Eversong Forest for training and restocking supplies while waiting for new marching orders. The regiment's soldiers followed many training sessions aimed on both physical strength, discipline, and combat techniques.
=== Marching to Shattering ===
The brigade later marched to the forsaken village of Brill where they stayed for a few weeks. Rumours of late night excursions in the surrounding areas, harassment of the local populace and talk of a rescue mission were abound but few seemed to have any information of their reasons for being there. They later marched on, this time to the forests of Ashenvale and was spotted both at several Horde outposts before leaving shortly after the elemental invasion began.
Upon leaving the forests of Ashenvale, the brigade marched onwards to the tauren city of Thunder Bluff, where they were said to be stationed as peace keepers and an extra force against the invading elementals. After the attacks died down somewhat, the Centurion received new marching orders and the regiment started their journey towards the deserts of Silithus. As they made a short stop in Camp Taurajo, many of the soldiers were scattered and assumed killed when the Cataclysm hit the lands and the Alliance took the opportunity to attack the village.
Most of the regiment managed to rendezvous in Ratchet where they regained their strength before receiving new orders to restock their supplies in Orgrimmar. They were stranded in the Warrior City for a longer period of time as most of the resources available were given to more needing hands than a Blood elven regiment on the march. Eventually they were set and started journeying towards the deserts of Silithus once again.
== Currently ==
Having reached the destination of the march, Silithus, the regiment is now preparing to face the end of their long trip, in any way they can. The worries are many and the displeasure with the Centurion grows by the day.
== Chain of Command ==
=== Centurion ===
The Centurion is the leading commanding officer of the regiment, a position currently held by Tavarion Evergale. He is the one ultimately responsible for his soldiers' actions and also the one with the final say on any orders given.
=== Senior Officers ===
The rank of Captain is earned by the second in command senior officer of the regiment. He deals with any affairs the Centurion himself is unable to do. It is closely followed by the Praetorian who is also a senior officer. All senior officers are able to handle new recruits and transfers, and in the Centurion's absence they can manage contract negotiations with any mercenary.
Due to the recent reorganisation of the regiment, no one has yet to be raised to the rank of captain and therefore the position is as of yet vacant.
=== Junior Officers ===
Legionnaire is the rank of the junior officers. They cannot directly give orders to mercenaries outside trainings and exercises unless relaying a senior officer's orders. In all other aspects except recruitment and transfers, they share many of the privileges of the senior officers.
=== Enlisted ===
The enlisted ranks are in the descending order of Sunsworn, Bladesworn and Initiate. Unless ordered by a superior officer none of them have the ability to order other enlisted around.
=== Other Positions ===
Besides the normal ranks of soldiers, there are other positions to be held as well within the regiment. This encludes envoys from other regiments or cities, missionaries and priests, healers, cooks and craftsmen.
==== Mercenaries ====
The Red Jackal Brigade also employs a contingent of mercenaries at all times. They are paid and bound under the terms of a contract agreed upon by a senior officer and themselves. While not being enlisted and thus exempt from some of the trainings and drills the regiment holds they are still required to participate in combat trainings and any actual fighting taking place.
== Customs, Gear and Regulations ==
=== Badges ===
Every soldier of the Red Jackal Brigade is given a badge upon entry of the regiment. It is to be worn at all times when the soldier is on duty. The badge displays your membership of the Red Jackals as well as your given rank.
=== Army Stamps ===
Due to the many problems of travelling with vasts amount of money when on the march, a system has been put in place by the Sunfury Spire to enable payment of soldiers on the field without risking it being intercepted. With the help of certain stamped slips of paper bearing the seal of the Quel'Thalassian army, officers are able to see to it that every soldier gets their due every week.
These "army stamps" can either be exchanged for new equipment while on the field or at a quartermaster or may be exchanged in return for a monetary value at any bank in Silvermoon City. The weekly cost for maintaining ones' equipment is calculated into your salary, making sure that soldiers do not ask for supplies when it is not a necessity. In general, the higher rank you are the more stamps you are given each week. This is a factor to why some mercenaries decides to swear themselves into the army, seeing how the pay is better.
It is custom for soldiers on the field to often use these stamps in lieu of ordinary coins and for them there is not much of a difference.
