"*Are you going to Scarborough Fair?*

*Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.*

*Remember me to one who lives there,*

*She once was a true love of mine.*

*Tell her to make me a Cambric Shirt,*

*Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme*

*Without no seams nor needlework,*

*Then she'll a true love of Mine."*

- "Scarborough Fair" a Traditional English Ballad
The **Excalibur Group**, or just **Excalibur** is a secretive faction operating throughout the British Isles and Brittany, and is using the Union of Anti-Communists as a cover for their master plan. Originally a collection of the old English elite that sought a Pax Britannica across the globe, the group has been supplanted and appropriated by the self declared *Prince of Eire*, who leads a conspiracy to turn the world over to the spirits and Fae of the Otherworld. Made up of neo-paganist followers and others who believe in the *Prince's* goals, they've managed to set their tendrils deep into the UAC, with Aaron Roman's right hand man being the *Prince* himself.

Other than in the UAC, Excalibur has set its sights on new allies and plans to aid themselves in the future. As their long game plays out, they observe the other shadowy groups of the world from afar, and they've linked ties with the Dominion of Epsilon, a gamble that the *Prince* is willing to undertake - if it means that Excalibur will finally get its chance to create their Celtic Empire, and unify the Six Nations under the *Prince's* Banner, once and for all.

## At A Glance

 **Basic Look** | Heavy Irish Celtic influences, lots of deer antlers everywhere, 19th century Occultism.

-*An inscription in the Ogham alphabet that has been found scratched into buildings and on bases all across Ireland. Free State linguists have translated it as being the old Irish phrase "When one door closes, another one opens". Both members of the Frith-Sraith Cumannach na hÉireann, an Irish subsidiary of the UAC, and the Phoenix Front deny writing these messages.*

### Aircraft

 File:IconALBION.png | Otherworld Bomber | Well defended and armoured, but still very capable of being shot down by enemy flak, the Otherworld Bomber fly in bristling with defensive machine guns in order to drop a single, massive bomb that's capable of levelling any enemy structure with one hit. After each run, however, the Otherworld Bomber needs to return to base to restock the Bomb.

### Watercraft

 File:IconALBION.png | Ler Frigate | The closest thing Excalibur has to a real battleship, the Ler can use its lightning fast speed to harass enemy ships before making a speedy getaway. Armed with its one autcannon and two heavy macine guns. As an added bonus, depth charges can be released from the stern of a vessel to keep any submarines from trying to chase the Ler down.

### Protocol Units

 File:IconALBION.png | Nuckelavee | Using the same technology that led to the creation of the *Y Ddraig Goch*, these creatures are summoned only by protocol, and with good reason. Horrifying, unnaturally fast and bloodthirsty monsters that are uncontrollable, Nuckelavee charge around the battlefield, tearing any enemy soldier they come across to shreds, and even if nearby soldiers escape, they're more than likely to fall victim to the poisonous airborne toxins that these creature produce, meaning that even if a soldier avoids being skinned alive, they'll most likely fall victim to it anyway, and then be consumed by it. And the worst part? Not even Excalibur can control it once it's been unleashed, meaning that it'll as readily tear a Saturnine Volunteer to shreds as it would a General Defender. Summon with extreme caution indeed.
