ANOTHER MSLA SUBDIVISIIIIIIIOOOOOOOONNNNNN!!!!! (Tell me if you're getting overwhelmed, I'll stop creating subdivisions)

“Legion of Lost Souls” (MSLA Death Korps)

“You, Korpsmen, you are soldiers in order to die, and for the new era of peace to come, we shall die and we MUST go to where we WILL DIE and the true monsters WILL DIE FOR NOTHING BUT SHIT FOR ALL WE CARE!” – General Wolfe

Normally numbering into 10,000 men, both human and insurgent and led by General Wolfe, the Death Korps is an all-male volunteer unit composed of patriots, adventurers, men who are trying to escape failed romances or their past, people who are disillusioned by the cruelty and the brutality of their world, there is one thing common in these men; they are all looking forward to die. One of the worst nightmares of any woman is to hear that their father, brother, son or the man they love is joining this unit. Unlike other MSLA cells, the Death Korps does not work with the MMC and rarely works with other cells, for they like any job left to them alone.

Unlike many fighters, since they disregard their own lives, they tend to fight more in even more vicious battles and undertake missions deemed suicidal by the MSLA (they even demand that from the High Command). Much to the chagrin of the MSLA, the Death Korps views the Insurgents’ hit-and-run tactics are horseshit for them, and so they are not mainly used on guerrilla attacks. They, however, are useful in holding ground and persisting to accomplish ANY mission to destroy the enemy, no matter if the odds are with or against them and their chances of survival are nonexistent or there is. For that, the Death Korps is described as “one of the most vicious, tenacious and stubborn units of the MSLA.”

They have more affinity to battle than in peace; most Death Korps volunteers prefer to live all seconds of their lives fighting than even spend one day in the safety (they call boredom and cowardliness) of the Shinomori Isles (the only reprieve they get is hunting and fighting native predators, which they deem not enough).

Because of their stubborn and brutal battle doctrine and “their longing for death and peace”, they have the highest mortality rate amongst MSLA subdivisions, with estimated 500 Death Korps soldiers dying every two notable bloody battles against the Order and pro-Order Quarantian militia. And for every 1 Death Korps volunteer killed, at least 10-15 Order regulars or 35-45 pro-Order militias took to that effort and lost their lives in the process. Man-for-man, a Death Korps volunteer is a determinator and unstoppable killing machine which fears nothing.

Outside of their reputation as one of the greatest fighting forces, the Death Korps volunteers are commonly subject for romantic and exciting tales of love and hope in a world of hatred and death. Although most of them are really cynical and untrusting of the world’s state, deep in their hearts, they still hope for the better, if not for themselves, then for their loved ones. Death Korps volunteers rediscovering love and hope on their human or mamono spouses are not uncommon, but Death Korps officers think that it will weaken one’s strength and courage to face death if they know they have a loved one waiting for them back home. On the other hand, one of the popular tell-tale signs that a woman is in love with you is when she really gets scorned and strongly disapproval of thoughts of you joining the Korps and be even angry at you and accuses you of being an “ignorant idiot” or any derogatory name if she discovers that you already volunteered to join, even if in the past she is being tsundere or kuudere in regards to you.

There is one whole isle dedicated to the fallen, and 30% of that isle is dedicated to the Death Korps. In their section, a plaque reads (I want to evoke a tear jerking effect on this quote, but this is the best I can do):

''“Here lies the brave men who were finally granted their eternal peace for their efforts to keep our lives and hopes afloat, even if they themselves do not believe in it anymore. Even in face of failure and hopelessness, they persevered; they kept strong. Their persistence to accomplish their goal despite of failing should be an example to every man and monster, be it in times of war or peace. They sacrificed their lives and in the process the happiness of their loved ones for a better world they can live in, earning them a place amongst the heroes. May these lost souls finally find their peace in the afterlife.”''
