Royal Thalassian Army

The Royal Thalassian Army is the ground forces of the Thalassian Armed Forces for the Golden Horde. They are the largest of the services under Quel'thalas.

History
The Royal Thalassian Army was reorganised from existing organisations that answered to Quel'thalas by Grand Magistrix Belatha. As the military of the kingdom is small and can easily be outnumbered, she ruled that advancement in military theory, and technology is necessary.

Military theory was the first important step. With small numbers and finite resources, it would have to be fought as a defensive war to stall for a counter-offensive. Each troop as a result had to be well-trained with the best technology. She had former Sunreavers, and Sunfury, both veterans of war to train the Army. Former Sunfury soldiers made the initial batch of officers, but the new generation of officers taught under them began to take over as well.

The Grand Magistrix also implemented new technologies, both magical and mechanical through her advisers. Magic, widely believed as their birthright was used extensively. The invention and deployment of improved armoured vehicles brought change in the shape of warfare.

Post-Iron Horde
Outside of the levies provided to the Khagan, the Army sustained the largest casualties in the battle of Quel'thalas. Grand Magistrix Belatha established a five-year plan in modernisation to CDC standards. Several projects in improving technology and doctrine took place. One such result was the T-LXVI MBT, the Bloodstorm-LXV Assault Rifle, and the Sunbreaker infantry kit.
