Flag of Armes Western Marine Corps

Armes Western Marine Corps Flag

The Armes Western Marine Corps is the formal title for the division of the New Armes Kingdom's military designated for naval warfare. Despite the name, the Armes Western Marine Corps is comprised of both the New Armes navy in addition to the New Armes marine infantry. The name of the division likely comes from its prominence on New Armes north-western naval borders at the Strait of Scardi, which borders that of both the Falena Queendom and the Island Nations Federation, both of which have had tense relations with New Armes in the past. In 450, at the height of the Falenan Civil War (449-450), the Armes Western Marine Corps were sent to Falena in order to aid the Godwin regime in their war against Prince Freyjadour Falenas and his Loyalist rebel movement. However, the Western Marine Corps did not move from Estrise, where they vacationed, as opposed to occupying. The real reason for the Marine Corps involvement was to contact Freyjadour Falenas about establishing a peaceful dialogue between Falena and New Armes following the war. In fact, following the routing of Armes Southern Mountain Corps forces and the departure of the Western Marine Corps, the marine commander, Shula Valya, and his bodyguards joined the Loyalist Army.

Although seemingly strong in its own right, the Armes Western Marine Corps seem to have little success in battles against the Queen's Royal Navy and the Island Nations Federation Navy in the past.
