Iranian Armed Forces Background:


The Islamic Republic of Iran Army (Persian: ارتش جمهوری اسلامی ایران), acronymed AJA (Persian: آجا), simply known as the Iranian Army or Artesh (Persian: ارتش, romanized: Arteš), is the "conventional military of Iran" and part of Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It is tasked to protect the territorial integrity of the country from external and internal threats and to project power.

Artesh has its own Joint Staff which coordinates its four separate service branches: Ground Forces, Air Force, Navy and the newly established Air Defense Force.


Recon Background:


In military operations, reconnaissance or scouting is the exploration of an area by military forces to obtain information about enemy forces, terrain, and other activities.

Examples of reconnaissance include patrolling by troops (skirmishers, long-range reconnaissance patrol, U.S. Army Rangers, cavalry scouts, or military intelligence specialists), ships or submarines, crewed or uncrewed reconnaissance aircraft, satellites, or by setting up observation posts. Espionage is usually considered to be different from reconnaissance, as it is performed by non-uniformed personnel operating behind enemy lines.

Often called recce (British, Canadian and Australian English) or recon (American English), the word for this activity has at its root the associated verb reconnoitre or reconnoiter.


CSAT Background:

Formed at the apex of the Canton Protocol summits, this strategic alliance of states is built upon the goals of mutual defense, expanded global influence, and sustained economic growth.

Set against the context of foundering economies and civil unrest across the west, CSAT has risen in prominence over the last decade. Investment in shared civil and military technology and the aggressive pursuit of opportunities and partnerships throughout Asia, South America and North Africa has led to a sharp increase in strategic tension across the globe, as traditional spheres of power and influence are encroached upon.

Recently partnering with the government of The Republic of Altis and Stratis, joint civilian and military projects are supported by an independent mechanized brigade-sized force officially operates under the authority of Col. Vahid Namdar.



Headed predominately by the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Iran, CSAT as a whole consists of several other East Asian, Middle Eastern, and possibly even former NATO and Central Asian member states.

Other known members include the Republic of Belarus and several North African countries. The organisation has also made offers to the Russian Federation for full membership, and are partnered together on trade and technology sharing - though the latter has yet to make an official decision.

With the sharp decline in Western geopolitical and economic soft power over the past two decades, CSAT's influence throughout the world has risen significantly and has allowed it to encroach into regions that were traditionally pro-West.

As seen during the events of the Prologue, CSAT's dominance over world affairs is clearly demonstrated in their interactions with the NATO peacekeepers of Task Force Aegis. The peacekeepers are reluctantly forced to abide by orders to step aside whenever CSAT forces are present, and are also unable to countermand any CSAT directives issued to the AAF.
