M8 Granítis

The Μ8 Granítis (Μ8 Γρανίτης) is a Sofíae Commonwealth MBT. When introduced in 1967 it was arguably the most advanced tank in the world, thanks to a number of innovative features including composite armour, an opposed-piston engine and a smoothbore 120-mm gun fed by a basket autoloader.
The Granítis formed the backbone of the Sofíae Army tank fleet until the introduction of the M9, with many domestic and international upgrades.
Granítis tanks are still in active service in many countries around the world.

Dense is here so Mestra is here aswell.

The HSV-27 (Hovedstridsvogn-27) is a Third Generation Mestran main battle tank (MBT) In service with Mestra and Deira. It was designed by Syvertsen Defense in late 1978, entering service with the Royal Mestran Army in 1984. The tank was mainly designed for tank-to-tank combat, but since being introduced in 1984, the vehicle has since evolved into a multi-role chassis, with the HSV-27 being used as a base for a bridge layer, air defense platform and mine clearer. When brought into service, the tank has been crowned the title as one of the best MBTs in the world, able to go head to head with the ST.84 and other MBTs.

HSV-27M1 (Mid)

The HSV-27 has gone through many upgrade programs and refits, with the most modern version of the vehicle being the HSV-27M3, first shown off at the annual OFSN Defense Show in late 2020.

Anatra AT.43A-0 Serpantyn


Finding herself in a war of survival beginning in 1941, Khraelyia desperately needed a solution to the hundreds of Reussich, Secrazchak, and Talmieran bombers attacking deep within the nation. The result of this was Anatra's AT.43 Serpantyn, the true "Twin-Engined Devil" of the skies. Boasting two supercharged Sviatozyne SZ.2550 engines, boasting 2500HP per engine on takeoff, it easily sped past Secrazchak bomber escorts, reigning hellfire using two 23mm cannons, as well as four 13.2mm HMGs. The AT.43's construction also allowed for an intermediate role as a close air support aircraft, with a payload maximum to be four 750kg bombs.

Trond Aasland Class Destroyer

The Trond Aasland Class, or Aasland Class, was a class of destroyers built for the Royal Mestran Navy, Royal Eskiltorp Navy, and Royal Kærgård Navy that saw action during The Great War. These ships were originally designed to be large torpedo boats, but after the Battle of Holmsvåg Isles, in which the 7th Torpedo Destroyer Flotilla were destroyed by Talmerian destroyers, the design was changed quickly to a gun focused ship. Along with that, the change was influenced by newer destroyers from Onshokostan, Secrazchak, and Reussland. The Trond Aasland's evolved into a quick, agile, and dangerous destroyers, often becoming symbols of prestige and hope during the dark years of the war for Mestra.

As some of the Royal Mestran Navy's most powerful and advanced destroyers, the Trond Aasland class served in nearly every naval theatre during the Great War. With the end of the war, most Trond Aasland class ships were modernized and kept in service, then being placed in reserve, then either being sold to other countries or scrapped. 2 Trond Aasland class ships survive today, with one belonging to the Royal Kærgård Navy, which is a museum ship in Rødhavn, and the other one belonging to the Royal Mestran Navy, which is a museum ship in Viken, along with the battleship Viken.

Belyakov P-47A-0 Pantera



With the advent of jet-propelled aircraft, the XP-46 Lastivka (Swallow) prototype flew in 1946. However, the need for an aircraft to compete with the newest jets of the Secrazchak Empire, Empire of Reussland, and the Onshokoese Empire, the P-47A-0 Pantera (Panther) was developed from the XP-46, and pressed into service. With four 2,3cm cannons, and two state-of-the-art turbojet engines, the Pantera proved to be a reliable, yet early attempt at a jet-powered air defense fighter.

ST.84-120 zrazok 1984 Skoropadskyi



Developed throughout the late seventies, the ST.84 entered service in 1984, replacing the aging ST.62 Vyhovsky. Named after General Mykola Skoropadskyi, the ST.84 boasts the Alapayiv Arsenal's 1A25 120 mm KB-125, as well as the Zakhariv Tractor Plant ZTP-85 KB-404 liquid-cooled V12 twin-turbo diesel engine, giving it a top speed of 70 kph.

Designed by Bondar Defence in 1978, early ST.84 prototypes saw trials in early 1979, under the project name Project Elysia. Requirements from the Khraelyi Ministry of Defence stated a need for the use of a modern 120 mm cannon, be able to defeat hits from Raskenian and CSCR tanks from a range of 800m, as well as an engine powerful enough to propel the tank to 70kph.

Entered into service in late 1984, the ST.84 has seen use in multiple theatres, including regional conflicts in Colytheus, such as the Mirasani civil war, as well as smaller skirmishes such as the 1990 Kirkassag–Goriyar border crisis

Tank overview
Weight - 57.3 t empty, 59.5 t combat
Speed - 70 kph
Range - Road: 350 kilometers
Main armament - 120 mm KB-125

These ships where built in 3 different sub-classes, Åsgårdheim, Erland, and Åsgårdros. Each seeing a different addition to the ships.

When The Great War kicked off in 1941, 3 ships would be brought over to Force K, which where to guard convoys going to the Tromstad Islands. Over the course of the war, the Åsgårdheim's would be involved in almost every major action in the Crostenian Ocean, with only 4 ships being lost. After the war, the remaining ships would be modernized and kept in service until 1961, the ships where scrapped or sunk as blockships.
