Staatswehr

The Staatswehr (State Defense) is the Stornish name for the Armed Forces of the State of Stornland

Supreme Commander of the Staatswehr is Stornkanzler "Maximilian Drexler".

While not as modern as the Federal Odrivakian Armed Forces, the Stornish Staatswehr has been building up considreably since the 4980s and is definitely one fo the Strongest Militaries in the World.

The Staatswehr's primary objectives have always been defense of Stornland's Land Borders and Territorial Waters and therefore, it is vulnerable in foreign conflict situations such as interventions across the globe. It's Amphibious Landing Capabilities are also behind the Standards of many other Armed Forces.

### Units of Importance:

The Stornish navy has a Diverse Multitude of Ship types to Deal with many different situations.

#### ***Wardann Class Amphibious Assault Ship/ Aircraft Carrier***

The Wardann Class Assault Ship has been Serving the Navy since 5009. It was built to combat the Stornish lack of Aircraft Carries, although the only fixed wing aircraft able to effectively land on it were retired in 5015. The "Kugelblitz" Program will soon provide new Aircraft for this Carrier. It is also 1 of 2 Stornish Ships able to carry out large scale Amphibious Operations, though this capability remains largely untested.

There is Currently 1 Unit of this Ship Type in service.

#### ***Kraken Class Landing Platform Dock***

The Kraken Landing Platform Dock was introduced in 5018 to the Stornish navy. It is designed to make large Amphibious Landings for the Stornish Navy possible again.

#### ***Zorn Class Missible Submarine***

The Zorn Class Submamarines have been designed to bombard targets on land and sea with Balistic Missiles. This Type of Sumbarine has shrouded in secrecy since it's inception.

#### ***Weltendämmerung Class (Long Range Missile?) Submarine***

If the Zorn Class is secretive, the Weltendämmerung Class is practically a Phantom. The existence of this Submarine Type has never been officially confirmed by the Stornish Military but a Photograph taken in 5009 proofs it's existence. TIt has been called a "Long Range Missile Submarine" based on assumptions but it remaines a mystery why this type of Submarine exists when there is already a Missile Submarine in Stornish Servive. This and it's apparent Ability to Stay Underwater for extremely long ammounts of time have brought forth theories about the Weltendämmerung Class being a "Nuclear Powered Submarine" which would not only be a technological revolution but also highly illegal (According to the Dagyar Accords) and would explain the secrecy of the project.

It was given the name "Weltendämmerung" by the Dachlasian Press. The name comes from the last chapter of the Old Faith's Holy Book, the "Book of Destiny"
