The Kildarian-Apollonian People's Liberation Army (KAPLA) is a radical leftwing insurgent movement operating primarily in the Mengtian Province, a rugged and sparsely populated region within the Outer Antya Prefecture. Inspired by the events of the Crimson Dawn of 1744 and the rise of the Democratic Republic of East Floria (DREF), KAPLA emerged in the aftermath of the Florian conflict as part of a broader wave of revolutionary fervor that swept across parts of Apollonia.
KAPLA claims ideological and fraternal links with the Revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Eastern Floria (RFLEF) and models its organization and rhetoric on the DREF's vision of a worker-led socialist republic. The movement regarded the defeat of the DREF as a temporary setback and considers itself the true inheritor of the East Florian revolutionary struggle, together with the Arzhav Revolutionary Army, which inspired its uprising.
Operating out of hidden mountain bases and jungle redoubts in Mengtian, KAPLA conducts intermittent guerrilla warfare, political agitation, and sabotage against local prefectural authorities, multinational corporations, and any perceived agents of "imperialist-capitalist occupation." The group enjoys limited support from rural communities disillusioned with the central administration from far-away Shirekeep, though heavy-handed crackdowns have limited its expansion.
While its current strength is estimated to be under 3,000 active fighters (bolstered with the arrival of leftist veterans since the defeat of Eastern Floria at the hands of stinky Humanist capitalists), KAPLA remains a persistent thorn in the side of Imperial Forces. Its propaganda arm continues to distribute revolutionary literature, drawing heavily from the speeches of Ivan Markov and Mao Myksos and it is known to celebrate the DREF's "Martyrs of Dongrad" as symbols of resistance against feudalism, the Old Order and capitalism.
