HD 6F03 Commonality of Kedzudh, The warmongering state. By Roger Myhre Ammerudgrenda 168 0960 Oslo 9 Norway Introduction. Commonality of Kedzudh was first established in 1044 to an answer to the corsair threat. The main enemy at that time was Kforuzeng, that had been around for about 3 years. As Kforuzeng grew, Kedzudh got more followers. In about 1100 Kforuzeng changed tactic. Kforuzeng managed to get a treaty signed with Kedzudh. Kedzudh needed rest from raidings, and Kforuzeng needed a safe border to cross when the going got to tough. Kedzudh needed support to secure its borders. At first it may seem strange to outsiders that these two groups sign a treaty. The reason is that Kforuzeng had no raidings into Kedzudh between 1078 and 1100. Most pirates came either from the Imperium or from Tuglikki sector which Kforuzeng only had limited support from. After FFW the atmosphere between Kedzudh and Kforuzeng get sourer, due to the Imperium's attention to vargr corsairs. When Kforuzeng seemed unable to keep its groups together and unable to protect Kedzudh from raiders the treaty got nullified. Recent history. (1110+) When Kforuzeng started to loose control over its subgroups, and the treaty with the band got nullified, a lot of worlds to the coreward left the communality. The reason to this was that they could stand up against the Kforuzeng now that it was weakened. They was neither threatened by the pirates from the Imperium. When the anti-Imperial Oekhsos tirades was released through entertainment devices, Kedzudh managed to get new members. The tirades did also help Kforuzeng from being disbanded. Kedzudh had from the beginning encouraged vargr that lived in the coreward systems of the Marches to revolt against the Imperium. However this proved difficult when the Imperium had too strong presence there. When the rebellion started in 1116, which threw Domain of Deneb into much confusion, Kedzudh started to lie plans. With the vargr invading in Corridor and the Aslans entering Spinward Marches in 1117 Kedzudh and Kforuzeng attacked the coreward border of the Spinward Marches. Kforuzeng and Kedzudh had by this time made a new treaty. The Glass-Bond as it is refereed to by Imperial vargr experts. The reason to that Kedzudh relinked with Kforuzeng is that Kforuzeng got the know-how. Kedzudh did have the vargrpower and funds, but lacked the skilled leaders. Which are needed to perform a military action against the Imperium. But not only the combined force of these two groups did secure the operation. Already in 1113 Kedzudh had established a undercover network within the Imperial borders. This is the main reason to that Kedzudh and Kforuzeng managed to get far as they did when they launched their attack. The vargr rich worlds coreward in the Marches proved to be excellent source to find anti-Imperial sentiments. All that was needed was to get this seed to grow. Government. The government of Kedzudh is built up by representatives from the various governments in the different systems. The different worlds in Kedzudh conduct their own interior and exterior relations. However the Kedzudh government tries to coordinate the different systems. This is done so that all the systems may gain by the work done. Military. The worlds had initially their own military forces and administrated this as they saw fit. However to meet the corsair and the pirates from the Imperium they built a small space police/navy force. This force had two fleets of about 10 ships each. The largest ship was a 8000ton destroyer. Prior to the invasion of Aramis subsector in the Marches, Kedzudh built new ships. Some large as 15000ton. The attack on the Imperial Navy outpost at Triad (Gvurrdon 2436) was fruitful. The coalition managed to capture several crafts in dock. This gave a valuable boost to the military strength of the coalition. However the captured crafts was not used in the initial attack on the Imperium, when the coalition had to figure out how to operate them properly. Neither was it time to train crew and move the crafts into position. The Imperium would soon detect that an entire squadron was missing. With the help of the underground groups in the Imperium. The coalition managed to capture many systems before the Imperium managed to relocate their forces and build up a frontline. At present the position of the frontline have been stable after the Empire managed to take back a few systems. See the map in MTJ #1 for current frontline position.
