The Aurarian Red Crescent, established in 1845, remains the empire’s most powerful and enigmatic force. Reserved for times of utmost crisis, their strength lies not only in their exceptional personnel but also in their unparalleled transportation methods, advanced equipment, and strategic secrecy.
Formation and Evolution
▼ Founded by Emperor Vespasian II in 1845, the Red Crescent was created as a force of last resort, designed to safeguard the empire during times of grave internal or external crisis. The Red Crescent’s evolution into the most powerful, secretive force in Aurarian history is marked by several key stages:
▸ Emperor Vespasian II (1845–1905): Established the Red Crescent, initially as a counterforce during times of instability.
▸ Emperor Vespasian III (1905–1945): Refined the unit, ensuring complete operational secrecy while enhancing its combat capabilities.
▸ Emperor Vespasian IV (2024–Present): Modernized the force with cutting-edge technology and transportation, while maintaining its covert nature.
Deployment in Times of Crisis
▼ The Red Crescent has been activated only three times in its history, with each deployment reshaping the course of Aurarian history:
1. ▸ The First Phase of the Civil War (1857): The Red Crescent was deployed after months of unrest, ending the conflict in just 5 days through a combination of precision strikes, advanced technology, and diplomatic efforts.
2. ▸ The Great World War (1914–1918): Though not publicly acknowledged, the Red Crescent played a crucial role in safeguarding the empire through superior defense systems and covert strategic alliances.
3. ▸ The Second Phase of the Civil War (1945): In a conflict that threatened the empire's survival, the Red Crescent crushed the rebellion in just 2 weeks, using a blend of military force, psychological tactics, and diplomatic efforts.
▼ Since 1945, the Red Crescent has not been activated, but its readiness and vigilance continue to serve as the bedrock of the empire’s security.
Modern Operations
The Red Crescent operates primarily under a veil of secrecy. Its role has evolved into one that combines both military and intelligence functions:
1. ▸ Civilians in Disguise: Red Crescent operatives live as civilians within the empire, continuously monitoring internal affairs and reporting any suspicious activities or potential threats.
2. ▸ Cross-Border Operations: Outside the empire's borders, the Red Crescent operates covertly, gathering intelligence and neutralizing external threats before they reach Aurarian soil.
3. ▸ Reporting Directly to Leadership: All findings are submitted directly to the emperor, minister of defense, or the vice president, ensuring that their information remains confidential and decisive.
Personnel and Equipment
▼ While the exact number of personnel in the Red Crescent is classified, the force consists of the empire’s most elite soldiers, carefully selected from the highest ranks of the military. Only those with exceptional skills and loyalty are inducted.
The Red Crescent utilizes some of the most advanced technology and equipment:
▸ Transportation: High-speed, stealth-enabled aircraft and armored vehicles capable of swift, undisrupted deployment within the empire or beyond.
▸ Equipment: Cutting-edge weaponry, advanced communication systems, and adaptive technology tailored for both urban and battlefield operations.
Conditions for Activation
▼ The Red Crescent is activated only by the direct authorization of the emperor, the minister of defense, or the vice president in the emperor’s absence. This ensures that their immense power and capability are reserved for the most critical situations.
A Force Waiting in the Shadows
▼ Although the Red Crescent has not been called into action since 1945, its presence remains ever vigilant:
▸ Within the Empire: Red Crescent operatives stay embedded in everyday life, ensuring that any internal threats are neutralized at the earliest stages.
▸ Across Borders: The Red Crescent works tirelessly to monitor and counter threats from foreign nations, protecting the empire from potential dangers abroad.
Their secrecy is their greatest weapon, and their ability to strike decisively and with overwhelming force is what ensures the empire's continued stability. The people of Aurarian Empire may never see the Red Crescent, but they can rest assured that these silent guardians are always watching.
