The Federal Republican Machine Korps or the Tech Vanguard,(FRMK or TK) is the new branch of the Federal Republican Armed Forces that fully specializes in Mechanized and Armoured service warfare and the use of military robots on land, sea, air, space, and the multiverse.

Taking from the lessons from the Russian-Ukrainian War, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces formally established the Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) on June 11, 2024. The Machine Korps were founded to specialize in the use of new Military Robots and new, incredibly advanced weaponry being deployed and field-tested throughout the Pvz World before being sent to battle.

Z-Tech is known for it's advanced technology by UN standards, including cybernetic bionics and advanced Artificial Intelligence. At its height, the organization comprised hundreds and thousands of members, and even had slight influence back on Earth. It is believed the organization had ties to Adeptus Mechanicus, Militaries robotics and drones and other tech corporations.

History

Origins

The idea of using unmanned forces date back to World War II and the Cold War in the form of the German Goliath tracked mines and the Soviet teletanks. The introduction of the MQ-1 Predator drone was when "CIA officers began to see the first practical returns on their decade-old fantasy of using aerial robots to collect intelligence".

On February 6, 2024, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a decree instructing the Government of Ukraine and the General Staff to consider and work out the creation of the appropriate type of troops, after which the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine will consider the issue.

On February 10, 2024, it was announced that Colonel Vadym Sukharevsky had become deputy of recently appointed Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi and would be responsible for implementation of unmanned systems. Since the start of the fullscale Russian invasion, Sukharevsky was a commander of 59th Motorized Brigade.

Colonel Vadym Sukharevskyi – his focus is on unmanned systems and the development of utilization of drones by our soldiers, and Colonel Andriy Lebedenko – his focus is on innovation, specifically the technology component of the army and combat systems – have been appointed deputies of Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi. Clear practice with new technologies is needed. There are more than enough theories; everything must work in practice for the sake of Ukrainian goals and the maximum preservation of the lives of our soldiers.

On May 7, 2024, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine supported the draft Decree of the President of Ukraine, developed by the Ministry of Defense together with the General Staff, on creating a separate type of troop within the Armed Forces: the Unmanned Systems Forces.

On June 10, 2024, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence announced that Colonel Vadym Sukharevsky was appointed commander of the UAV Forces. On June 11, the force was formally established.

Lessons Learned

During the War, the use of machines in warfare has had a profound effect on military strategy and the use of robots were expanded and used massively by Gray Gravel during their conquests. Taking from the lessons from the Russian-Ukrainian War and the Garden War, Z-Tech had the Machine Korps created to specialize in the use of new Military Robots to combat this new form of lethal warfare, this was done by brilliant minds to fuel the industry, technology scavenged from their allies, war gains from gray gravel and their allies, capture of UAC, ARC, TMITHC, and wolfenstein equipment resulting in reverse engineering autonomous drones, Ubersoldats Panzerhund technology being commonplace. As the years progress, the Founders had developed highly advanced robotics, autonomous machines and semi-sentient AI for use in the war and to scout into new regions of the multiverse.

Advancements

Robotics, computing, and artificial intelligence have also advanced at an incredible rate, with robots and automatons in common use across the UFN, in both civilian and military capacities. These range from mundane protocol, cleaning, and mail-sorting robots to weapons of war, ranging from the nimble Übersoldat units to even larger mechanized monstrosities, such as the Autoturrets and Guard Robot units, the Zitadelle units, the iconic Panzerhund robots from wolfenstion, and outright weapons of terror like the London Monitor and the prototype Zerstörer robots. Personal computing has seemingly advanced as well, with computer terminals and reel-to-reel machines ever ubiquitous across the expanding UFN. Many appliances, domestic, industrial and military, are fully automated, if not always reliable. Thanks to Crazy Dave's and Dr.Zomboss's basis of their reverse-engineering of allied and enemy technology, Z-Tech has made various aggressive leaps in technological development and robotics had become the cream of the crop.

Division

As far as the rest of the world knows, the FRAF fields seventeen combat legions in total; thirteen general legions, and four rapid response legions, the former designed for holding territories and protecting Federal territories, and the latter an active round-the-clock force ready to be deployed anywhere on the globe at a moment's notice. These forces total some one million combat units, and each one's strength depending on the location and importance of their respective regions, the exception by the rapid response legions which all share the same total number of combat drones.

Equiptment

Lethal autonomous weapons (LAWs) are a type of autonomous military system that can independently search for and engage targets based on programmed constraints and descriptions. LAWs are also known as lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS), autonomous weapon systems (AWS), robotic weapons or killer robots. LAWs may operate in the air, on land, on water, underwater, or in space. The autonomy of current systems as of 2018 was restricted in the sense that a human gives the final command to attack—though there are exceptions with certain "defensive" systems

Military robots are autonomous robots or remote-controlled mobile robots designed for military applications, from transport to search & rescue and attack.

• MIDARS, a four-wheeled robot outfitted with several cameras, radar, and possibly a firearm, that automatically performs random or preprogrammed patrols around a military base or other government installation. It alerts a human overseer when it detects movement in unauthorized areas, or other programmed conditions. The operator can then instruct the robot to ignore the event, or take over remote control to deal with an intruder, or to get better camera views of an emergency. The robot would also regularly scan radio frequency identification tags (RFID) placed on stored inventory as it passed and report any missing items.

Drones

The Global Armaments Combat Drone, also known as GA Battle Drones, are technological advanced, unmanned combat drones created by George Marshall to assist the corporate security forces of Pravus International. He developed the design to incorporate many humanoid features that could give it greater flexibility in the field of battle, while still be easy to manufacture and produce. The individual drones were then customized into separate models for use by various parts of the Pravus security force. Though each model has the same basic structure, their armament and exterior designs are different for each field they are to be deployed in. Because of their durability and flexibility, they today serve as the main combat force of Pravus International.

History

In 2003, Global Armaments was approached by Pravus International with a request that they develop combat drone that could fill the position of a regular soldier, with Pravus providing all the technologies and equipment needed for the project. It was further explained that Pravus needed to field an army of its own to defend its assets around the world from nations that were growing weary of the corporation's antics. Zver could not be called upon for various reasons–recruitment issues, public relations, and business acumen serving to prevent Pravus from calling upon their PMC for help in the matter at hand. Thus, a cheaper and much easier to replace alternative was suggested by the Board of Directors, and GA was thus asked to fill the need.

George delievered a hundred prototypes to Altus City, where they demostrated their adaptibility and flexibility on the field of battle, and several thousand were requested to be put into production. The buildup was done without the knowledge of the American government, as Pravus feared the potential threat the government prove to be if the combat drones fell into their hands. Thus Julius had factories deticated to the drones' production built underground. When they became public knowledge in 2006 (by then having already fought in a number of conflicts), Pravus had already placed copyrights and patents on all the components and infomation on the drones, so as to legally block potential enemies from gaining access to the technology needed to build them.

The government attempted to cease the infomation on the drones for their own usage, but Pravus had encrypted that knowledge by then, which led to the Altus Affair, an intense series of court battles where the U.S. government tried and failed to steal the infomation. Before the government could resort to lower tactics needed to get the drones, it collapsed into chaos leading to the civil war that allowed Pravus to exploit the international gap in power, and begin clawing its way to global prominence. The GA combat drones have since been put to usage as the main combat forces of the corporation, filling the gap the corporation's military PMCs do not wish to fill themselves.

GA Drone Types/Variants

GA-01 Army Drone

• Exterior: Chobham Armor
• Armaments: Shoulder-Mounted M242 Bushmaster, Milkor M32 40mm Grenade Launcher
• Firepower: Excellent

The GA-01 Army Drone is the basic and primary combat drone in used by Pravus International. Serving as the boots on the ground from Pravus, the GA-01 drone can be mass-produced, easily equipped, and fielded in large numbers with low maintainance. Given that they each possess only rudimentary combat knowledge, they are capable of dealing with major threats, save only in large numbers. A single drone, though emmensely dangerous to anyone person, is not capable of engaging that target in the same manner as a human would, and thus is not generally regarded as a "one-man army". In its basic ten-drone squad, it is capable of exchanging data with other units effectively, and can react to a threat much faster and independently.

GA-02 Navy Drone

• Exterior: Chobham Armor
• Armaments: FIM-92 Stinger Missiles
• Firepower: Moderate

The GA-02 Navy Drone is the naval battle drone in use by Pravus for coastal warfare and anti-ship combat. The GA-02 combat drone is fielded in small groups for territorial defence, and anti-aircraft missions where the drone's missile systems ae small and mobile enough to take out a number of targets regardless of speed and altitude. Aside from its missile loadout, the GA-02 is not designed for general combat, and lacks any form of protection once its missiles have been expended. It is typically guarded by a small force of GA-01 or GA-04 drones that handle all close to mid-range combat duties that the GA-02 drone is incapable of handling itself. Aside from this issue, the battle drone is a highly capable war machine.

GA-03 Air Drone

• Exterior: Stealth Plated Chobham Armor
• Armaments: Vortex Ring Gun, Air-To-Air Missiles, Rotary Wrist Blasters, and Flight Stabilizers
• Firepower: Excellent

The GA-03 Air Drone is the primary weapon used by Pravus for air-based combat. The GA-03 is stealthed, and heavily-armed, and because of its mobility, it can get to targets tha jet fighters and attack helicopters cannot. As it is slightly larger than the typical air force pilot, it can move into areas such as bunkers and densely packed regions to hide itself from enemy air raids or ready itself for air raids of its own without the fear of losing the element of surprise. Also, its smaller profile and faster speeds mean that added to its stealth armor, the drone is nearly impossible to target with a fire or to track effectively. The GA-03 is the most independent of the combat drones utilized by Pravus, meaning that it can act pre-emptively during battle, taking advantage of a situtation similar to a human pilot.

GA-04 Marine Drone

• Exterior: Sealed Chobham Armor; Camoflaged
• Armaments: Electromagnetic Pulse, M320 Grenade Launcher, Electric Saw Blades
• Firepower: Moderate

The GA-04 Marine Drone is a combat drone designed to work alone or in groups, but with much more independence than its Army variant brother. Largely geared toward close-combat, the GA-04 is a dangerous opponent, and designed for urban combat and quick coastal raids the night. It possesses a computerized camoflage system that can effectively turn it invisible to the untrained eye, making it a master of warfare in densely-pack rural areas such as grasslands and the jungle, where it has seen many victories in regions such as Africa. It has a single EMP generator to allow it take out enemy tracking equipment and vehicles, and deal the final blow before the battle truly begins.

Pravus ED-3 Oppressor

The Pravus ED-3 Oppressor is a fully-automated bipedal combat droid designed and manufactured by Pravus International. The walker was developed to serve as a heavy weapons platform for high-intensity combat operations in urban conditions where heavy firepower would be needed for clearing out large numbers of heavily-armed and protected soldiers and vehicles. Pravus International plans to use them within the Pravus Combat Legions, but also plans to negotiate with national governments for contracts with their military forces for use in war.

Pravus had long been hoping to sell the Oppressor on the foreign market, though few countries even considered the mech for combat duties. The "excessive overkill" as commentors put it, was deemed too much for even the most unscrupulous of military forces in the world's pariah states, and members of NATO refused to consider it as a weapon in the arsenals of its many militaries. With that, Pravus is the only combat user of the ED-3, and as a result, the corporation has only ordered 150 of the machines, with the potential to construct another 100 should the need arise.
