Ebrarian Republican Army
The Ebrarian Republican Army (ERA) comprised the largest grouping of the Republican coalition. The core of the Ebrarian Republican Army was formed when Ebrarian generals revolted in a mutiny against royalist rule. The ERA was led by a cadre of reform-minded commanders centered around General Georgio Rodrigo.
People's Legion
The People's Legion was a loose confederation of citizens militias on the side of the Republicans in the Ebrarian Civil War. The leadership of the People's Legion largely rejected the more radical mentality of the radical leftist groups, with its leaders being inspired by radical liberal or moderate socialist thought.
Red Brigades
The Red Brigades were the paramilitary wing of the Party of Socialist Workers, the largest left-wing movement in Ebrary at the time of the Ebrarian Civil War. The Party of Socialist Workers was a big-tent movement, including democratic socialists, communists, and some syndicalists.
Gallasian People's Army
The Gallasian People's Army were composed of Gallasian nationalists and separatists, generally of a left-wing orientation. This faction allied itself with the Republicans out of pragmatism, working particularly closely with the Red Brigades.
United Labor Union
The United Labor Union was the largest labor union in Ebrary, and aligned itself with the Republican movement.
Syndicalist Party of Ebrary
The most radical of the major factions on the Republican side, this group was largely syndicalist and anarchist in orientation. The Syndicalist Party of Ebrary set up the Cierala Commune which existed from 1923 - 1926 and governed the city of Cierala along anarchist lines.
