## Service history

### Wars

Roacist War, Kolin-Obcy War, Collective War

> "Battalions like the 424th or 70th as of late have become famous to the people and infamous to our foes. They have earned such a status but don't forget our achievements as well, We were the first to defend Kolinea from the roaches and the first to counter attack. We are Kolinea's children, the 1st battalion to earn the right to paint our armour and we'd rather all die then let it fall."

Officially, the events surrounding the battle on board the cargo/resupply space **UKCSS-154** '**Hard Stock**' which orbited the colonized exoplanet Lubrika. Or rather the notion of any **United Kolin Army** (UKA) battalion betraying the species, is considered nothing but meer rumours and propaganda created by the Loyalists. To threaten the integrity and cohesion of the army unofficially however, The 107th United Kolin Army Battalion engaged in a very brief battle yet brutal battle. That left scores of blood, corpses and plasma burns littered all through the Hards Stock's many hallways and corridors.

## **Weapons**

### **Plasma Weapons**

#### **KAR-28 Assault Rifle**

The **Kolin Assault Rifle** (**KAR**) **Mark 28** or **KAR-28 Assault Rifle** also known as the **Kolin Assault Rifle**, **KAR-28** or "**28 Special**" is an advanced semi and fully automatic plasma assault rifle which is the military version of the **WR-27 Assault Rifle** and the primary weapon of the whole **United Kolin Military** (**UKM**).

## **Colour Schemes and Camouflage**

### **Service Grey**

The 107th started just like every other Kolin army battalion, using the iconic but uniform 'Service Grey' pattern just like the rest of the army and even other branches. But such a simplistic colour scheme was fully accepted and understood without any complaint or question by the 107th, as they agreed with its reasoning. That being a soldier on one campaign or series of battles ends will quickly be redeployed from one theatre of war to the other which could even take place on a completely different planet. Would make painting on camouflage or even changing the colours of the equipment a relatively pointless and time-consuming process so it's good enough to have a simple colour pattern that's decent in all environments.

### **Greyed Royalty**

Despite the 'Service Grey' colour scheme being used by the 107th for the majority of the battalion's history, it was soon eclipsed by a new completely original colour scheme known as 'Greyed Royalty' which became a very recognizable and signature look of the 107th. Based on the Royal Islandic Commonwealth's flag

## **Pre Roacist War**

Despite the 'Service Grey' colour scheme being used by the 107th for the majority of the battalion's history, it was soon eclipsed by a new completely original colour scheme known as 'Greyed Royalty' which became a very recognizable and signature look.

## **Roacist War**

This is because it is a very rare honour and reward within the UKA only given to those who have conducted extreme acts of heroism and valour to be bestowed the ability to paint his or her power armour in a personalized manner with whatever colour scheme or design they desire. Only very few individuals ever manage to achieve this let alone an entire Battalion, but yet it was the 107th themselves who not only managed to obtain a battalion-wide original colour scheme but were the first to ever accomplish the feat.

A well-earned reward for their distinctive service in defense of the Kolins home planet **Kolinea**, during the destructive and crippling **Roacist War** which was a war of cultural extermination, fought between the Roachos, Kolin and Obcy Wads. In the aftermath of the war with the Roacist Empire being de-Nazied and disbanded later became the Roachos Confederation, the 107th helped rebuilt the shattered rubble that was once infrastructure and support displaced populations.

## **Inter-War**

However, the battalion struggled in all its tasks, being almost wiped out in its entirety it simply didn't have the manpower to contribute to the United Kolin Nations (UKN) recovery. However it was during this time of great strife when the 107th was given the immense public publicity and honour they became well known for with this, the battalions numbers soon swelled with large amounts of recruits descended from lords and royalty of Kolinea's past ready to fight for such a now prestigious battalion. The battalion was dubbed by the media as 'Kolinea's Children' because too many they embodied what every unit should aspire to be, along with the waves of recruits caused a Sudo rebirth of the battalion to once which heavily valued history perfection and royalty.

The tactics and strategies used by the battalion that helped them fight the Roachos for so long were either completely scrapped or overhauled and expanded upon, all changes were based on the many lessons and data gathered from the war. The senior officers of the 107th tried their absolute best to make the most perfect battlefield tactics one could hope to achieve because they now tolerated nothing less than perfection. However, the 107th newfound very strong admiration for royalty left them worryingly vulnerable to corruption during the looming Kolin-Obcy War.

The Obcy Wads a very honourable species with a ruling royal family are very long-term allies with the Kolins, the relationship between the two species was so strong that they practically regarded the other as a brother. Is because of this strong relationship that the 107th soon became a mixed-species unit embracing Obcy Wads who grew up in lived on Kolin planets and allowing them into thief ranks. Seeing them as a much-deserved royal addition to their unit.

## **Kolin-Obcy War**

However when the Obcy Wad's King a wise Wad named Henry who is the son of Queen Magnolia the great. Seemingly went crazy and declared war on the Kolins which resulted in the kingdom being split into between the loyalists and the separatists. The Obcy Wad soldiers of the 107th however really liked the ideas of the Loyalists and ate up their propaganda like it was Twinkies.

Knowing the reputation of the Obcy Wad species was kept solidly intact by the valiant actions of the Obcy Wad Separatists who quickly allied themselves with the Kolins to put an end to the kings increasingly tyrannical rule of King Henry. And the simple fact that they were trusted citizens of the UKN meant their word was as valuable as gold and they'd largely be under no suspension. So while the 107th fought in battle after battle proving their perfected strategies to be the exact result they hoped for there was still a decent amount of casualties, as the members most loyal to the Kolins libertarian ideals of freedom were sent to die in battle and the ones who believed heavily in the virtue of royalty stayed in reserve.

Years into the war it got to the point where the Loyalist sympathizers within the 107th knew they could begin their boiling frog-like plan of very subtly and carefully spreading doubt and propaganda among the battalion. Then like how a piece of mole spreads throughout a loaf of bread they managed to corrupt most of the battalion to sympathy with the loyalist cause. Sympathy soon turns to loyalty as they begin to gradually believe the government is corrupt and holds many dark secrets that are still being perpetrated by the UKN. The Loyalists and King Henry wanted to return the Kolins to what they were, to the values they claim to uphold. But the poor Kolin soldiers who would die for a corrupt government whose dark dealing they knew nothing about and the Separatists who also fell under their wicked spell. Although it would be brutal and undo much of the rebuilding from the last war the loyalist hoped to crush both factions as quickly and if necessary brutally to end the war as soon as possible.

The 107th traitors soon hatched a plan to wipe out one of the most important and famous Kolin battalions which had been equally as famous as they were. They even managed to eclipse them in terms of recognition and popularity with their recent deeds, they even became the poster boys for the entire United Kolin Military (UKM). The battalion in question was the legendary 424th lead by Roachos War veteran (and main character of the series) captain 1st class Edward Man. The 424th had just finished defending the planet Libron from a Loyalist assault, a very remarkable victory since Libron one of the core Kolin planets and the species' economic heart. But now the majority of the 424th was aboard the cargo space station UKCSS-154 Hard Stock for some much-needed and definitely deserved military leave and immediately resupply for a couple of days.

In that time the 107th planned their perfect surprise attack and painted their armour with their unique spin on the Loyalist colour scheme, they so lovingly named it after the new nickname which they have given themselves in honour of their new patriarch. They and their paint job for this brief time would be known as 'Henery's Followers'.

However, in case an individual traitor wants to remain a bit purer to the true colour scheme of the Loyalists then an alternative version was available in limited numbers.

### **The "Great Betrayal"**

Before the majority of the 107th would defect and pledge their undying allegiance to the Loyalists officially they need to wipe out the 424th battalion and the Hark Stocks's crew. Because the 107th still had a very prestigious and respectful reputation, the officers got access to more of the key rooms of the station and the soldiers got into the perfect positions with little to no attention or suspicion from the crew. Even the naturally very inquisitive and safety paranoid 5th fleet security detachment onboard didn't look into what they were doing just as the plan predicted. Once everyone was in place the huge security doors closed and locked tight around the commanders aboard the station, even managing to trap Edward however only for a time.

The entire stations erupted in a massive battle casing fires that engulfed entire rooms, blood spills and splatters across the walls and newly polished floors, corpses laid limp and lifeless on the ground next to even the most minimal of cover and plasma burn marks were all over the interior. The casualty heavy combat lasted several hours until the combined strength of 424th, the station's marine detachment, sailor crew and the 5th fleet security guards managed to eventually wipe out the 107th battalions traitors. However, despite such a brutal and shocking betrayal that was so catastrophic it remained classified for decades the 107th managed to survive the horrific battle and was completely withdrawn from the war and spent most of the time supporting logistics and gradually rebuilding their numbers. This is because not all members of the 107th that day were traitors so they didn't receive the Loyalist coloured armour and were supposed to be killed off with everyone else on the station. However, these still loyal soldiers joined their kin and gunned down their traitorous brothers.

## Post Kolin-Obcy War

Over the remaining years the 107th was carefully and methodically rebuilt and reborn but this time it was completely from the ground up, the battalion was kept under almost near-constant careful watch by the various military, government and even civil security agencies to make sure such a betrayal never happens again. Within the 107th only very trusted members were allowed to know the truth about what happened on the Hard Stock, all recruits who were still most often descendants of royalty or lords were simply told the version of the events told to the public. Which is that the 107th was nearly wiped out bravely defending the space station from a surprise loyalist attack, While some Obcy Wads did manage to join the reformed battalion the amount who did was barely countable as to prevent another complete battalion wide corruption.

While the 107th lost its royalty worship one thing it maintained was its very strong sense of perfection however, this perfection was now also extended to weeding our corruption and upholding themselves to their former glory and actions during the Roacist war. Since even now they are not up to full fighting strength they continue to serve primarily in logistics roles although mostly guarding bases and convoys instead of being the ones who move the supplies themselves. this along with all the technical work and helping with maintenance has made them temporarily switch over to the blue armour light of the engineers since they blur the line enough. They also painted their armour one last time to a new colour.
