Che

The final member of the Survivalist Coalition, the Che's territory of Yunnan is said to be especially fertile and beautiful. Largely left untouched by the Superforts, the Che had time to focus on diplomacy and intrigue, eventually becoming a negotiating partner with the isolationist NLA, as well as a point of contact with the even more mysterious Iron Army.
Joining the Coalition shortly before the Great Hibernation without much chance to prove themselves militarily and seeking to improve their station, the Che were notorious for their political spying and intrigue, although they are noted to still have some form of ethical principles limiting their actions.
==History and Status==
The land of Yunnan was tucked into the south western end of China, and due to the relatively low population, the people of the province had low numbers of both pilots and Vannai Puppets. Going through the Vannai war largely unscathed, a foreign Warlord from the east eventually brought her warband. This was Warlord Che, although her warband was still not called as such at the time.
Working with the local leaders, the warband eventually purged whatever remained of the VP presence in Yunnan, and set up a defensive perimeter to prevent further invasions. As this happened, Che was able to maneuver in the political scene as well, setting up valuable relationships in the leader clique through charisma, persuasion, bribery, and even marriage.
As the Coalition emerged, Che believed that it was the time to finally stake her claim on the province of Yunnan. This met little resistance due to the efforts she undertook the past few years, and the province of Yunnan rebranded themselves with the name of their new Warlord: the Che.
In 2019, Che set up a political marriage between her own cousin and the son of Warlord Chang Jian, Chang Xing. However, the wedding ended in tragedy when the Che's entire family was poisoned, as well as Chang Xing. Using the chaos, the Axe Gang Bandits turned the Che's people against their Warlord, causing the faction to disband.
==Population, Industry and Military==
With a moderate population of 12 million at its peak, the Che utilized the lands of Yunnan heavily, relying on the traditional methods of agriculture which including steppe farming to feed its people and establish trade with the other factions of China. Their lack of industrial and military-related manufacturing was not a problem, due to the rather low levels of combat they undergo, allowing them to sustain themselves to stockpiles and traded equipment.
The Che's military entirely revolves around routing and guiding Superforts away, rather than outright engaging and destroying them. To achieve this end, Che's forces are highly mobile, with high speed suits making up a bulk of its active forces. These high speed suits would use both the terrain and direct attacks to manipulate the movements of the Superforts. Reverse infantry was organized, but they were rarely ever used, as Che found them too slow to be tactically viable.
