Modhesian Army (terrorist group)

- This article is about the T'vaqi terrorist group. For the Deysachni military force, see Modhes Millitaria.
The Modhesian Army is a terrorist group active in T'vaqi composed of copper, coal, and silicon miners deemed too unintelligent to receive a higher education. The group's name was chosen to signal allyship with Modhes Temple; in reality, very few individuals of Deysachni origin are members of the group.
History
Following the nationwide miner strike of 54 PC, migrant workers were exported from Deysachin to supply cheap labor and prevent further decline in the T'vaqi economy. Native protestors responded with acts of violence towards these workers, prompting Deysachin to send an army regiment to protect them. Diplomats were covertly included among Deysachni soldiers in the hopes of facilitating negotiation with the protestors. The negotiations were successful, and migrant worker deaths greatly decreased; a fringe group of protestors turned their attention towards civilians, proclaiming their allegiance to Modhes Temple. This group would form the Modhesian Army.
Ideology
Members of the Modhesian Army possess a common disdain for the T'vaqi government and loyalty to Deysachin, though the exact goal of the Army remains unclear. The group has been publicly denounced by Modhes Temple.
Tactics & Structure
The Modhesian Army has little to no organization, with no defined leader and infrequent communication between members. Members of the Army identify each other using the group's official symbol, which is typically displayed in a subtle but visible spot on one's person. A member can gain status within the group by attacking, killing, or otherwise impeding the actions of government officials and loyal civilians. Most attacks from the group are uncoordinated and small-scale, often involving guerrilla warfare tactics.
