Background and History
The Federation wages the Great Crusade to reclaim territory lost to alien forces. Under wartime rationing and universal military service, every adult contributes to the war effort. Its recruitment system trains reservists for combat and redirects those who fail military standards to industrial or mining labor 1 21 90.
The war against the Zerg has lasted a century. By the Jade Smelting Star campaign, the Spark War Zone still contains more than a thousand planets, roughly half fallen and the rest contested. Victory on one world therefore brings redeployment rather than peace 146 215. After retaking Jade Smelting Star, Federation forces fight to protect threatened space lanes and supply routes 213 215.
Jiang Yue’s breakthrough to Level 5 helps make a wider counteroffensive possible. Appointed commander of the Eastern Front, he leads Federation forces through the alien Wall of Sighs and retakes dozens of occupied human worlds. The army then fortifies those gains before advancing toward the Alien Royal Court 260 265 266.
Military Organization and Training
- Recruit selection: Reservists face physical trials and ranking assessments. Passing can secure a regular-army place; high performers receive military Points and Gene Enhancement Serum, while failures face forced labor 1 21.
- Martial training: The military teaches a standardized Basic Body Tempering Technique. Soldiers with sufficient foundations can later study Federation Martial Arts, supported by archived instruction, force-generation models, and individualized Smart Brain training plans 2 30 96 97.
- Technology: Federation forces use powered armor, warships, orbital weapons, tactical command networks, and simulation systems. Smart Brains assist with personnel assignments and training; they are tools of the Federation, not the government itself 68 74 97 140.
- Merit and rank: Combat performance affects Points, equipment, training access, and promotion. Military assessments can judge strategic contribution rather than kill totals alone 68 145 157 167.
- Force structure: Its forces include legions, guard regiments, squads, specialist units, and fleets. Jiang Yue’s command grows from an independent regiment into a mobile fleet as the war demands larger operations 74 204 223 224.
Conflicts
- Alien forces: The Federation fights Zerg, silicon-based forces, and other alien threats across planetary fronts and space lanes 145 215 242 265.
- Rebel factions: It designates the Cloud Mountain Star Autonomous Alliance as Backlight and deploys troops against its attacks. The alliance opposes the Great Crusade and seeks to withdraw its planet from the war 133 140.
- Cost to its citizens: Occupied humans are subjected to forced labor, while Federation recruits who fail selection can be sent to mines or factories. Military ceremonies also commemorate the soldiers killed in its campaigns 21 213 265.
