The Krittish Volunteers are a battalion-sized unit of the Union Marines. They are an all-Krittish force and are typically deployed aboard select Krittish warships. The Volunteers trace their origins to Krittain's own convict-&-refugee nature, with King Liam the First eradicating a substantial portion of pirate and raider bands that had plagued the region for quite some time. Understanding the outlaw nature of his kingdom, Liam presented a choice to the imprisoned — volunteer for service to his crown or languish and rot in the dismal Krittish prisons. Those that volunteered were "re-educated" and became an ideal force to counter piracy because they themselves "looked like 'em, spat like 'em, spake like 'em, and t'ought like 'em".

  • The Krittish Volunteers are a battalion-sized unit of the Union Marines. They are an all-Krittish force and are typically deployed aboard select Krittish warships. The Volunteers trace their origins to Krittain's own convict-&-refugee nature, with King Liam the First eradicating a substantial portion of pirate and raider bands that had plagued the region for quite some time.

Those that volunteered were "re-educated" and became an ideal force to counter piracy because they themselves "looked like 'em, spat like 'em, spake like 'em, and t'ought like 'em". Over the years, the Volunteer ranks and activity level diminished until the advent of the Imperial era, wherein it nearly ceased existence. The commonwealth with Caspia, though, twenty years later reinvigorated many Krittish interests and entities. Several enterprising officers within the newly formed Union Marines decided to "borrow" the legacy and moniker of the Volunteers for their unit. Volunteers of today are wholly from Krittain, and must produce citizenship for at least two generations.
