United Hunters of Patagonia

The United Hunters of Patgaonia (also Revolutionary Army of Patagonia and New Glacial Guard) is an independence-aimed organization in Patagonia. The UHP currently controls a sizeable portion of the central regions of Patagonia near the Chubut River and parts of the western coast north of the Taitao Peninsula. It is considered one of the best-equipped groups in Patagonia.

The UHP is made of republican-aimed warriors that fought previously as the "Glacial Guard" that is a spiritual heir of the elite force of the Republic. It as reorganized by survivors of the war and later organized in a larger group as the ERePat (Revolutionary Patagonian Army).

In 2060 it united with groups in the Andes mainly formed by secularist aberolian fighters and christian leaders. The ERePat changed its name into the United Hunters of Patagonia, aiming for the Independence and the restoration of the Republic as a much more tolerant organization. Since their conquest of the territory short after in the Chubut Campaign, it settled its capital in José de San Martín, wich was previously a small trade hub for nearby farmers, and formed a form of semi-military government for both military and civilian matters. It is currently in a process of forming independant courts and having elected mayors.

The UHP has managed to sieze control over a 20% of the productive oil wells in Central Patagonia. They managed to repair a number of trade ships and are currently exporting oil via the South Pacific and Karasev Island. This allowed them to acquire a good quality of gear and equipment.

While succesfull during the Chubut River Campaign, the UHP failed to control Comodoro Rivadavia, thus, is unable to secure the whole of the oil wells in Central Patagonia, and a 40% of the total is unproductive, while another 40% is still being used by the Frankish Kingdom to finance its efforts in the area. The lack of air support is said to have contributed to this, as air bombardment and covered defense is part of a new defense doctrine by General Lord Sigebert.

As per relationships with other groups, the UHP has tried and failed to create alliances with the Nation of Aberolia to the south, and has minor trade agreements with the Karasev Islands government. It has ties to some mercenary groups in Arauco and Cuyo, and considering the relationships between Emilio Beckdorf and the self-proclaimed King, Ismael Kuvic, bad relationships should exist between the Hunters and the Kingdom of Northern Patagonia.
