Abwehran Armed Forces (AAF)

Abwehran History is filled with conflict. In fact, the beginning of their recorded history begins with Great Conflict. It has shaped them into what they are and continues to shape them as their species grows and leaves their celestial cradle. No matter where fate takes the Abwehran people, there will always be an Abwehran Armed Forces.

Abwehran Armed Forces

In the first quarter of AF 260 (YE 31), the Abwehran Armed Forces began a major reformation project. Not only did obsolete equipment get replaced, but many branches were reorganized to deal with a large influx of new recruits and the need to spread their veteran forces into the colonial areas. The AF 260 Reformation also included the announcement of two new branches of military service: the Foreign Service and the Assault Legion.
