The Crown Royal Guard (CRG) or "Königliche Krone Wache" (Royal Crown Guard, KKW or RCG), is a militant terrorist and political organization (designated as a terrorist organization by the Ministries of Internal Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Justice, and Armed Forces of TECT), and is considered an unrecognized Imperial Entity of the Commoner Empire; "unrecognized entity" meaning an entity that represents itself on behalf of the Empire but is not recognized in return by the Empire or Emperor. CRG is known exclusively as "Königliche Krone Wache" in most areas throughout TECT because that is its German name. As a deeply conservative organization, the KKW takes pride in the Empire's German speaking past. Its English name (Crown Royal Guard or CRG) is just as well known domestically, but it's recognition abroad is better known than its German name/acronym. CRG encourages the Commoner german language rather then english, so members either exclusively speak german or are forced to learn it - english is not discriminated against, however.

As a movement more than state, CRG claims no capital or lays claim to Commoner land as its own land - on the contrary, CRG is a xenophobic group that religiously worships the Emperor and Royal Family; they are intensely hostile to foreigners or those that are perceived as foreign. CRG is an ultra-nationalist organization that essentially worship both the Empire and the Emperor as though they were a religion, often being monikered as cultists or "ultra-patriots". Racism is also common as most Commoners are of Caucasian origin, so easily identified foreign races are usually perceived as identifiers of foreign descent - though their hate is primarily directed at foreign peoples and foreign cultures rather than any non-white race, so the line between racism and xenophobia is very marginal.

CRG's primary mission as an organization is to "Expand the Empire, Destroy its Enemies, and Conquer Lands and Peoples for the Crown!", or so it claims. Essentially, CRG wants to spread what it believes is true Commoner culture and control to foreign lands - this is either to conquer them for the Crown or destroy them as the enemies to the Empire. As an armed and influential group, CRG utilizes terrorism, propaganda, and armed force to accomplish its various goals; CRG is more than willing to subjugate foreigners in order to expand their influence, or will often target foreigners/foreign nations to achieve its xenophobic goals. Although bombings (often vehicle bombs or planted explosives) are CRG's trademark terror weapon, militants are also well known to conduct shootings, sabotage actions (against governments or civilians), assassinations, and extensive ground combat; drone based bombings abroad reveals the terrorist organization's extensive development in terror technology. Both the Foreign and Internal Affairs Ministry of TECT have denounced the organization as a domestic terrorist group that holds no authority or viewpoints that Commoners do. Furthermore, the Ministry of Justice and Armed Forces Ministry have conducted crackdowns in the past, arresting individuals and hampering CRG operations.

Königliche Krone Wache became known more broadly around the world after the group's affiliates managed to seize control of territory in Aravea from communist militias and government forces. The brief success of the group attracted recruits and lead to the terror group's temporary control over portions of Aravea; the militants were able to force back government troops until a counteroffensive halted the group's advance and ended its short reign of terror in Aravea. During its time in power, KZA (Kaiserlich Zustand von Aravea) committed vile acts against communist and government prisoners, along with anyone else who openly opposed their rule. Intelligence and eye witness reports, along with official KZA documentation and videos, showed the group conducting mass killings, decapitations, torture, and other brutal crimes against humanity that became widely dispersed on the internet, leading to their initial fame online as one of the most widely known and brutal terrorist organizations in the world. The 'Blau Massacre', happening soon after, also brought world attention to the group inside TECT; a crackdown on the group that committed the massacre was on foreign headlines for weeks as foreign left-wing nations criticized TECT throughout the event. CRG once again became infamous abroad after Königlichen Zentralbehörde, the central mainland branch of the terror organization, conducted a well coordinated terror attack on the city of Kesslerstaadt, otherwise known as "New Sodom". The coordinated bombings and shootout lead to the worst loss of life by a TECT based terror organization in modern history and brought with it a steep financial cost to Kesslerstaadt; in all, hundreds of people lost their lives while many more were wounded with most figures showing over a thousand victims total, and physical damage (including the city's Babeel Tower) reaching the billions of NSD.

Branches

TECT

In TECT there are multiple branches of the Crown Royal Guard that collectively form a unified central organization; each branch works closely with the rest to the point that there is little to no difference between them. CRG in TECT is divided into eight regional zones with their own regional commanders who also have staff - the central authority, however, is known as "Königlichen Zentralbehörde (Royals Central Authority)"; there is a Homeland Commander (Homeland State), Bay Land Commander (Bayson, New Bay, and Emperor Island), Maximus Commander (Maximus and Forelis State), Zentral Commander (central States), Anker-Land Commander (southern States), Adler Commander (both Adler States), Lukas Commander (Lukas Land State), and Insel Commander (Insel Islands State). The collective branches of CRG in TECT are the founding base of the entire CRG organization; it remains unclear which branch came first and was the founding body, but investigators believe it was the Homeland branch which originated first and it remains the central authority of the entire organization. Many believe a remote town in Maximus or Forelis act as the group's capital or base of operations, but reports detail that the Homeland is where CRG bases itself from because of cultural reasons. Regardless of where it's based from, each branch has a selection of believed training camps, supply depots, and connections with people who posses power. Though it is widely denied, rumors floating around state the TECT government "looks away" from CRG activities as long as they are not harming the nation's interests. That rumor, however, clashes with the official policy and the thousands of raids, arrests, and other actions done against the CRG group.

Remarkably, CRG in TECT are well trained and well armed. Military officials believe that veterans and ex-military have joined the CRG ranks. They, along with combat experienced members, train and prepare fighters for combat and travel; in the past, fighters have been shown to be able to travel easily through state lines and international boundaries. CRG has been proven to have a wide selection of domestically produced weapons - their primary weapon and favorite firearm is the ARSG1; CRG has been found to posses other miscellaneous military equipment and other vast array of tools/supplies. Military grade weapons have also made it into the hands of CRG, such as decommissioned military vehicles and modern anti-tank weaponry. Boats, trucks, and other vehicles have been acquired and converted into 'Technicals', vehicles armed and armored in order to take part in armed conflict. There is believed to be around two-hundred thousand fighters total in the TECT CRG branches.

'Blau' Massacre

On May 31st, 2015, CRG in TECT, part of the Kaiserlichen Zentralstaaten or 'Imperial Central States' branch of the TECT Crown Royal Guard, conducted a major kidnapping and execution of prominent socialists in TECT. The socialists were from the Commoner Social Justice League, a political group that serves to expand far-left ideology and assist such left leaning individuals either in office or to attain office. This event was in response to the Ardoki government's public execution of twenty-three pro-SACTO supporters, who they labeled as traitors and/or terrorists in fraudulent trials. The entirety of the event was conducted and released on an internet video to make the news public and was released on the 31st - the events portrayed on it are believed to have happened the day prior. CRG claimed in the video their execution was conducted in retaliation as the said supporters could have been TECT supporters - at the very least they supported their country's allies. It's not unheard of for CRG to despise leftest nations, but Ardoki is well known to be among the most hated among CRG branches; to further note, CRG has threatened to wage unrestricted warfare against the Ardoki people, "We will burn the sewers you call cities, pillage what the Empire deserves, and butcher you swine block-by-block." CRG essentially considers the Ardoki people to be the embodiment of their immortal enemy - far-left foreigners. Experts, however, claim the retaliation plan was a reworked plot for propaganda reasons; they claim the time frame between the Ardoki public execution and this video are vastly too close to have been retaliation - the extensive kidnapping and well thought out plan are among the many portions that can only have happened after extensive planning. That is why the same anti-terror experts believe the overall plot was created sooner after the branch learned of the convention dates and times, who'd be there, and what they wanted in the end.

Investigators believe CRG learned of the convention and planned around it. Instead of attacking it directly in force, CRG quietly kidnapped people one by one as they left for the day; they did so by neutralizing said members and using their own vehicles to leave the area. As security was only posted inside and patrolled around the area very little, CRG was able to sneak participants away quietly without anyone noticing. The fighters are then believed to have met up at some point, ditched the personal vehicles, and drive immediately to a safe house area for the next stage of the plan; this consisted of coercing the prisoners into redressing and a brief practice of the video's schedule. CRG had to work fast to meet their desired affect - if they didn't get the video making started by near night time, they'd risk reports of the members being missing when the convention opened for day two. It is likely the fighters had little rest as they needed to perform the plot, tape it, clean the scene, edit the video, and then release it in mass droves to instil shock. It is likely, judging by the video, that the prisoners didn't know they were actually going to be executed - by time the survivors caught wind of it, it was far too late to react. It is unlikely investigators will find the exact spot of the video as CRG made it hard to locate the general area based on their taping angles and editing; CRG also burns and cleans after such events, so unless future remains are discovered, it'll incredibly hard to find the exact position of the crime scene.

CRG made it a point throughout the video to point out their opposition to leftist ideology; they scripted the the video to clearly display it and what they would do to foreigners who were of similar belief that taint Commoners into following leftist ideologies. Though this new trend may mean they will start targeting leftist Commoners violently; to note though, CRG has rarely targeted Commoners violently, rather they non-violently target such organizations/people. This is the first time they've ever conducted such a crime on Commoner soil, as is the rarity of terrorists conducting such large massacres/executions on Commoner soil. CRG made it clear the type of people they want to hunt though. Take Waldemar Blau, the Chief Financial Officer of the Commoner Socialist Justice League; as seen in the video, Mr. Blau is revealed to have committed many crimes - this ranges from blue collar crimes to actual physical crimes such as prostitution with a minor. As the Ministry of Justice investigates these claims, among other things, CRG wanted to reveal how corrupt and evil they see far-leftists to be. They wanted a huge backlash as well, which is why they murdered top financial and operation staff that went to the convention in Schuster, (northern) Tiefland.

Aravea

Kaiserlich Zustand von Aravea (KZA), or Imperial State of Aravea, is the Crown Royal Guard branch in the formor Hegemony of Aravea (now Empire of Aravea). It is unknown when the branch opened or when a Cell was established, but evidence showed that the group was very well established in the city of Darka. The branch was primarily made up of Aravea nationals with few Commoner nationals who traveled to train and guide the growing branch. These Aravea nationals most likely joined KZA to combat a rising communist and left movement and an inefficient national government; choosing a cause that shared their conservative viewpoints and finding a potential new governing system that is reliable. Commoner nationals on ground were suspected to have established the branch along with local leaders who then recruited and trained their fighters. A training camp in their de-facto capital, Darka, was established sometime in the past and was the training center that most fighters gained their experience from before its control was lost. On March 28th, 2015, CRG in Aravea openly declared its existence along with declaring a state of war between itself, the communist/left-wing factions, the Aravea Interim-Government, and potential foreign governments/organizations that could interfere, such as SACTO, Monarchist Federation, and the International Freedom Coalition; though reports show CRG did not plan to target SACTO forces based on the fact they could directly combat Commoner troops, and they wanted to avoid combat with nations allied to TECT if possible. CRG specifically targeted MF and IFC, which it strongly believes are enemies of the Crown as well as models for "Dirty Foreign Rat Colonies."

In a matter of days, KZA managed to overrun the city of Darka. It was estimated that at least two hundred fighters with professional training had flooded the city; fighters, equipment, and fighting vehicles ('Technicals') had sprung up all over the city within the first hours of the fighting. Fighting was brutal and bloody as reports showed KZA fighters were especially brutal to the communist militias present in the city. There is still footage taken by KZA fighters that displays their attacks on communist forces and the elimination of government positions in the city; a montage made by home group is still used to recruit fighters. With their victory came a brutal wave of violence against communist forces and government troops, anyone else who opposed their control was also subject to violence - videos of executions, torture, and the CRG's trademark execution by dismembering and burning limbs of the bodies of leaders on poles was put onto the internet for the world to see. It is unclear how many people were killed or wounded in the taking of Darka, though initial reports by the government of Aravea state it was in the thousands to tens of thousands. With control came enforcement of CRG policies and rules; anyone not willing to become a Commoner citizen was either robbed and sent packing, killed, or enslaved. The new control brought in new influence as well with additional recruits that increased their numbers significantly; even as they committed violent acts, KZA establish a new government and became a beacon for people who had lost hope. Armed with illegally imported Commoner arms, custom manufactured guns and modified vehicles, and the theft of government and militia equipment left behind or taken by force, the stage was set for KZA to continue its campaign.

Abusing the situation with the central government losing total control - KZA took the chance to spread its control even further, targeting the south where control was weakest from the government. Commanders wanted to eventually take control of coastal ports so that fighters and supplies could be shipped in by allied branches; KZA also attempted to set up smuggling rings across the country that had previously allowed them their arms and supplies. KZA forces soon launched organized attacks southward towards the Osiena border, steam rolling through any resistance that dared show itself. Towns fell quickly to the overpowering KZA fighters, especially with their increase in equipment and fighters. This brief but vast advance south was eventually halted at Directus near the border where government troops had been pushed back to by the steamroll. The city's government troops in preparation for the coming attacks dug in to defend the city from KZA forces. Although not totally effective, this strategy dragged down the swift advance of KZA forces long enough to save the city from being overrun - so long that it gave the Aravean government time to reorganize itself and launch a counter attack against KZA forces. Now with less pressure on its government, the Aravean military was able to organize itself and take back control of the country. Aravean government forces especially took the KZA situation serious and launched a counter-insurgency operation to oust the KZA from Darka and remove them from Aravea all together.

Operation Keynote

In early April, Government forces launched an anti-insurgency operation dubbed Operation Keynote. Arvaean military forces focused on a two pronged invasion into KZA held territory; the plan centered on retaking the city of Darka and another front in the south to cease the KZA assault in Directus. On April 5th, government forces launched the initial stages of the operation by commencing air attacks on KZA positions in Darka and throughout KZA held territory. Air forces supported an airborne assault into the city where elements of the 3rd Brigade (30th Infantry), 94th Airborne Regiment, and elements of 2nd Armored assaulted the city. Artillery and craft from 22nd Squadron provided support and logistics to ground forces. Reports showed that KZA fortified the city for a fight, which they knew was coming beforehand; building obstacles, roadblocks, fighting positions, and laid multiple traps including IED explosives and improvised (or manufactured) landmines. Aravean government forces reported that casualties were heavily sustained in the urban fighting as they took on trained insurgents throughout the city - fighting was often from house to house or defended position to the next. KZA's training, fierce tactics and loyalty, and their good equipment proved to be a hurdle for the Arvean military. The same reports detail that KZA forces lost much of its defending fighters in the city throughout the assault due to little anti-air capabilities or other support assets. KZA, facing heavy losses and imminent defeat eventually retreated and turned to insurgent strategies, including the use of suicide attacks and suicide bombings - some suicide bombings were prisoners forced to participate, though most captives by this time had either been killed or liberated by the military. After three days of continuous fighting, the Aravean government claimed control over Darka, claiming that defenders were either dead, captured, or had retreated from the city.

Meanwhile on the southern front. 1st RC Battalion, 4th Brigade (7th Mechanized), and elements of 3rd Armored flanked south around Darka to attack KZA's attacking forces at Directus. After spending the fifth day fighting through rear positions and KZA held towns - government forces arrived behind KZA forces in Directus. Most fighting was conducted outside the urban settings, but the fighting that took place inside the city was brutal and took a full night of fighting to oust KZA forces. It was reported that KZA fighters had grown desperate as they were sandwiched between the two government positions - desertion and shooting those who attempted was common.

At the end of the operation, April 10th, KZA was declared defeated with an estimated ten thousand plus dead. The Commoner CRG members on ground were all soon identified, they had been killed in action with government forces; TECT has not asked for their return due to their "treasonous status" and had told the Aravean government to "do what you will" with the remains. Surviving KZA members are either believed to be captured or deserted before being captured; CRG home branches claim, however, that survivors remain at-large in wait for the next opportunity to attack targets or "reclaim their capital, Darka."

"Kaiserlich Zustand von Neu Celis"

Other Activity

"Rainbow Dash Ranch"

The original Rainbow Dash Ranch, Odell Ranch, located in northern Maximus State.

"Rainbow Dash Ranch" is a moniker used by CRG members to identify a number of special prisoner/torture facilities located around the world. The term is exclusively used to identify ranches and other farms used as makeshift prisoner and torture facilities intended to hold sexual and societal deviants, like perverted homosexuals, LGBTQ individuals, and furries. Although homosexuality is not frowned upon by CRG per-say, it does take action against what members perceive to be sexual perversions within homosexuality. Furries/bronies, while not specifically named in the past, are now despised by CRG. In recent years they are now treated with extreme prejudice, which escalated further after a mentally ill furry teenager attempted a mass shooting, which also sparked tension between the furry community and the wider Commoner society. The term itself originated after the original Rainbow Dash Ranch site was discovered and seized by authorities who later prosecuted related CRG members for their inhumane crimes on captives. The ranch itself was owned by one of the members where he used the captives as slave labor and to torture - from this case, CRG adopted the practice to target people it saw as deviants to Commoner society. Rainbow Dash is coined from a popular 'pony' character in a popular cartoon that 'bronies' favor and the use of the term 'Ranch' is to further offend those in the 'brony' community by insinuating they're horses and belong on a ranch. According to recordings retrieved by police, the name was originally coined by the farm owner who often repeated the phrase "Welcome to Rainbow Dash Ranch!", which he often did so in order to harass the majority 'brony' captives. Although many of the sexual deviants were bronies, CRG still uses the iconic name to also signify the rainbow flag, used by many 'deviants' as a pride flag.

Odell Ranch, the first site discovered by authorities, is believed to be the origin of such heinous torture facilities within CRG. The investigation showed nearly a hundred human remains were on the property with as many as twenty-five living captives rescued; many of the remains are still unidentifiable due to extensive disposable techniques (which including burning the corpses, acid washing, and often scattered burial sites). Investigators learned that the ranch served as a torture facility and a prison camp where captives were routinely tortured and forced to work on the farm by the Odell Family/CRG. A not-so-secret second purpose for the ranch, however, was to deter local homosexual CRG members from falling into perversion by using the site as a reminder to what happens to sexual deviants CRG finds within its ranks. Although the site didn't include many of the more brutal methods of torture the organization is known for, operators left severe mental damage to victims if they eventually escaped or released. The basic itinerary for the site was to treat prisoners as farm livestock - this meant victims were stripped nude, treated less worthy to cattle, and often were branded to show they were property of Odell Ranch. Among the many day-to-day operations ranch hands were known to do include making prisoners walk on all fours, eat hay (and animal droppings), and force victims to integrate with actual livestock on the farm; this included sleeping, eating, and joining activities livestock did on the ranch. One example seen on video was forcing captives to roll in mud and dung with the ranch's pig livestock, and then eat from troth with them - literally sharing the food the swine ate, which was categorically better than what they were often fed. Although ironic, CRG used some prisoners as sex slaves giving the excuse that "stock needed to present economic profit."; this included selling captives' bodies for sex if a member sought it and using the prisoners as slave labor. Survivors of Odell Ranch are still so mentally scarred that they are living under supervised care and protection by law enforcement for their own health and for their safety from active CRG threats.

Although Odell was shut down in 2002, authorities believe that similar sites exist around the country. With Odell's closing and national news covering it, CRG leadership reportidly decided to improve upon the concept by making the camps more brutal, more horrendous, and ensuring captives never left the ranch again. According to authorities, at least two to three dozen "Ranches" are believed to still be operated by CRG within TECT while some have been discovered and shut down by law enforcement in recent years. CRG continuously mentions these sites in its propaganda outlets, using them in official threats, mentioning them in social media sites, and through news outlets gullible enough to cover the subject on their networks.

New Sodom Bombings/Attack

CRG operatives prior to attack on 'Pink Arrow'.

In May of 2016, CRG in TECT (Königlichen Zentralbehörde) claimed responsibility for attacks on the city of Kesslerstaadt - otherwise known as "New Sodom." According to the island nation's media, gunmen attacked a popular nightclub called 'Pink Arrow' around midnight where guests were attending their usual night out; the militants apparently broke in from the rear of the building and systematically began spraying sub-machine gun fire and Molotov Cocktails at guests before retreating within minutes. Police responded to the incident too late as said gunmen had escaped already. An hour later, as the police were still in shock, three large blasts from apparent car bombs detonated within the city; their intended targets were likely the Tower of Baebael (where two of the bombs were said to be detonated on each side) and Temple of Balshaman (which detonated in front of the building). The island's government claims several hundred people became casualties in the combined attacks, including a central religious figure inside the temple as it held a routine service; hundreds were killed and wounded far greater - the death tole is expected to rise further as wounded are being treated. There are no damage estimates but theorists suspect it could be in the hundreds of millions and mite reach billions of standard nationstate dollars; damage to the Baebael Tower is so grave that officials are ordering it to be demolished because "the structural integrity of the tower had been severely compromised and preliminary results showed that the building is too unstable and will have to be demolished." The perpetrators have yet to be caught.

CRG took to social media bragging about their successful attacks on Kesslerstaadt but the post was aimed at another terrorist group rather then solely the island nation. Experts at TECT's Foreign Ministry are labeling this as a 'retaliatory attack' in response to actions by the group "Homofront"; HomoFront declared war on TECT as well as CRG, but they reached a true state of war after Homofront abducted, raped, and murdered Commoners on vacation as show of force against the Empire. CRG's attack in Kesslerstaadt is suspected to be aimed at Homofront as retaliation to their killing of Commoners, or so says CRG's propaganda wing. CRG claims that Kesslerstaadt is a supporter of Homofront, which is waging a war against TECT and Commoners, and therefore was a legitimate target itself. To dive into facts deeper, the nightclub attacked was said to be a hangout for members of Homofront. The central religious figure killed in one of the bombings is suspected of being a top Homofront leader as well. Kesslerstaadt was deemed legitimate as a target because it's Homofront's current safe haven, the group is integrated into the government, and the country was protecting them on all levels; though these are the reasons CRG attacked promptly rather then attacking an easier target Foreign Ministry staff believe - CRG doesn't necessarily require such deep reasons to lash out at foreign nations to begin with. In their declaration of responsibility, CRG stated: "Our agents, who's loyalty and service to the Crown shall live in infamy this day, have spearheaded our retaliation against the vile and disgusting organization known as Homofront. The people, who bask in their sinful lust, and the government who not only accepted but also encouraged Homofront into their daily lives - both are to blame for these attacks as well. Not only were you born to an inferior race located within a filthy foreign country, but you were willing accomplices to attacks against the superior Commoner Race - a crime so damming that justice can only come upon your slow and agonizing deaths. Our executioners have done just that in these epic attack, which quite frankly is a great deed to the world by ridding this world of as many filthy foreign rats as possible. Your self-indulged, sin filled shame, and disgusting civilization has itself to blame." This suggests the attacks were indeed retaliation and that both the Homofront group and the city-state were the target of the attacks.
