Thank you!

In the early 2010's the Ministry of War would put forth a request that the Orck MBT (Which was completing trials at the time) be upgraded further (per the armys wishes). This request would eventually result in the FWH program, or 'Field Work Horse'. The purpose of the program was to create a tank fit for 21'st century near-peer warfare. The program was spearheaded by the then CEO of REUA Heavy Industries and also the Minister of War, Viers Nemerberg. While it saw heavy pushback from the reigning Svak and his officals, work would continue to progress without interruption up until sometime in the early 2020's. While ARM had decoupled from the project early into its development, it would re-engage with REUA after the unveiling of the first few prototypes. The Ministry of War would offically state its desire to produce (and upgrade older Orck's) to the new REUA standard in 2023, with a batch of 30 Orck's entering trials with the army in mid 2024. Although this was primarily restricted to elite armored battalions.

The design of the Orck took into consideration many lessons from previous conflicts. Namely Deysia-Sirabick, which saw an awful about of casulaties from urban operations. Due to this, more emphasis was placed on integrating active protection systems onto current vehicle patterns. Alongside this, more consideration was placed onto low-rate production vehicles like the IFV 'Mog',

Regardless, the Orck was a success for REUA, but even more so for Nemerberg. Unfortunately, the former minister of war did have to resign in early 2023 due to complications with his health.

The new Orck version is not expected to be exported, due to its unique classification by the ministry of war. Approximately ~1000 tanks of this standard are supposed to be in service by 2045, with the production split between REUA and ARM.

This looks great! Love the worldbuilding!

Thanks!

The feared Skoric 'Javelin' is a high-performance super-prop designed and built by Skegharr-Hurk Aerospace. It was created to go head-to-head with the best aircraft that the Holy Air Force could muster. The last iteration of the Javelin was the F-3 variant, or 'Felgor-3' (Felgor standing for Javelin), which saw a massive increase in hp for its engine, propelling to an incredible top-speed of 710 km/h.

Nice looking fighter!
