Abbreviation

The Confederacy of the Dispossessed is a resistance movement arising out of the Green of southern and eastern Keltia as well as northern Eura, active as of 1717 AN. It is believed to have coalesced in response to a series of offensives launched by the Raspur Pact to gain control of territories recently vacated by the Haifo-Pallisican Imperial Trade Union.

Towards the end of 1717, the Confederacy of the Dispossessed achieved more or less full control over Moorland following the Evacuation of Moorland. This would be mirrored by successes in Normark and Ostland throughout the final months of that same year.

Organisation

As of 1717 AN the Confederacy of the Dispossessed is believed to be formed of twelve corsair fleets operating in the Sea of Storms and a thirteenth fleet operating in the Strait of Haifa. The highly independent nature of these piratical fleets, each purported to be under the command of a captain-general, has meant that, in spite of the rumoured existence of an "Emperor" amongst their numbers, has meant that they seemingly lack the cohesion necessary to form a state. Nonetheless, their access to warships, military hardware, munitions, supplies, and trained naval crews, combined with their willingness to rove far and wide in plundering expeditions as well as in support of the disinherited of the Green, means that these corsair fleets, specialising in sudden descents on under defended coastal regions, could become a significant threat for years to come.

Corsair fleets

The corsair fleets, made up of experienced sailors and battle-hardened warriors, are the most visible aspect of the Confederacy's military power. These fleets are highly mobile, and their expertise in naval warfare and piracy makes them a significant threat to the navies of established powers. Each fleet is purported to be under the command of a captain-general, with some claiming allegiance to an "Emperor" or "Empress." Despite the lack of cohesion between the fleets, their ability to carry out sudden raids and attacks on under defended coastal regions makes them a formidable force.

The Disinherited

The Disinherited form the mainstay of the fighting power of the Confederacy on land. Formed from amongst the defence forces and private military companies of the former regime in northern Eura, southern Keltia, and along the shores of the Strait of Haifa, these militia fighters primarily operate in warbands forty to one hundred and twenty strong but can form into vast divisions and leagues capable of dominating entire regions, especially when operating in conjunction with the corsair fleets.

Conflicts involving the Confederacy

• Wars of the Disinherited:
  • Evacuation of Moorland in northeast Keltia;
  • Operation Jungle Bolo in eastern Eura;
  • Operation Purple Splendor in southeast Keltia;
  • Operation Thunder Drop, in Haifa and Blore Heath proper, and the Sea of Storms;
  • Siege of Dalen (1717– ), in Dalen (aka Jangsong).

Notes

For the moment an ideas spitballing page - the ravenous land hunger of the established powers causes a powerful and implacably vengeful new force to rise from the Green of Keltia, threatening destruction and chaos for all.
