Two new MSLA subdivisioooooonnss!!!!!!

Children of the Sands (Sandstalkers)

''The desert is not just our friend. She is our mother, and without her, we would not grow strong. Just like any mother, she will defend her children from any aggressor with all of her power. And the fascists are unfortunate to be on that role. - Saladin''

The Sandstalkers are a renowned MSLA unit composed mainly of human males and Insurgents led by a shadowy Insurgent who goes by the pseudonym ‘Saladin’. True to their name, they are a terrifying force to fight, especially in their home turf, the Baharia Peninsula, which is composed mostly of wide, hot and harsh deserts.

The Sandstalkers are adept in guerrilla warfare, although in contrast to the MSLA jungle fighting units, due to the desert being an open wide area, they place more emphasis on long-range attacks and even higher mobility; since an open wide space such as deserts gives an opportunity for long range or even beyond the visual range rocket and mortar attacks and highly mobile attacks.

Since there are only few resources available in the desert, the Sandstalkers had to import weaponry from Shinomori Isles (although there are efforts to establish a viable weapons industry where they can manufacture weapons out of scavenged Order tech and MSLA provisionary tech), but it also means that without resources that can be obtained in the desert, the Order’s supply lines are overextended (and they have to rely from external aid too), making the lines awfully vulnerable to Sandstalker ambushes.





Atlantis Akulas (Undersea Union)

The main (and only) naval arm of the MSLA, the Atlantis Akulas is primarily a submarine force, although there are some amphibious vehicles and transport ships operational, mainly on the logistical and transport role. Their name was derived from the former undersea city of Atlantis and the Russian word for shark, Akula.

Atlantis was once an undersea city populated by sea mamono and their husbands, devoted to Poseidon, until the First Quarantian War, where they supported the Quarantian resistance fighters and consequently, the Empire erased the city from the world by using nuclear weapons. Only 12% of the population survived and most of them constitute 60% of the Atlantis Akulas today.

The primary objective of Atlantis Akulas is harassing enemy sea lanes, but due to being the only naval force, they also have to deal with sea transportation of MSLA units and supplies.
