Etymology And History
The Kingdom of Seaforth is named after Seaforth Castle, located in the capital city of Eventide in the province of Seaforth. The people of Seaforth are descendants of the people known as the Scoti and refer to themselves a Seaforthians. The Scoti themselves were a sept of Celts originating from Ui Ceinnselaig. These seafaring Celts raided and traded their way north eventually landing in what is now called Seaforth. These Celts continued to raid and pushed east from the shores, driving out the native tribes and permanently settling the area. Little remains of the original tribes, not even their names. The Celts were made up of clans and eventually organized into 6 Kingdoms. The Kingdom of Eventide, The Kingdom of Scotia, The Kingdom of Northumbria, The Kingdom of Caledon, The Kingdom of Arc-Royal and the Kingdom of Strathcona. In the early to mid 1100's, The Knights Hospitaller arrived in the Illumic. Refugee's fleeing their destruction at the end of the Vanoran Crusades. These Knights, led by Jocelyn of Rhodes, settled on the wild and uninhabited Island of Somerset. Just across from Somerset was Halifax Bay and the city of Halifax. From there ruled Ulric, King of Caledon. The King and his son, Prince Owen eventually befriended the knights and together, through war, diplomacy and marriage they united the six Kingdoms into the Kingdom of Seaforth. The former Six Kingdoms are still existing today represented by provinces of Seaforth.

Geography
The coastal mountains dominate the western edge of the kingdom. A solid wall of rock towering above the sea, only 2 natural breaks occur in the mountain chain. The northern break is located in the Bay of Eventide, where the capital city of Eventide is located. The southern break is located in a natural harbor in the province of Caledonia and where the provincial capital of Halifax sits. The area accounts for 25% of the kingdoms landmass.

Spoiler: Coastal Mountains • show

East of the Coast Mountains are the foothills. Also known as the Ranchlands, these rolling hills stretch out from the Coast Mountains and are home to most of the livestock in the kingdom. These are also the original tribal lands of the Scoti people and account for 50% of the landmass in the kingdom.

Spoiler: Ranchlands • show

At the far eastern end of the kingdom are the plains and farmlands which provide much of the agricultural produce in the kingdom and account for the remaining 25% of the landmass.

Spoiler: Praries • show

The Kingdom of Seaforth contains 8.2 % water which is made up of mountain rivers running to the sea and the foothills where it empties into a series of small lakes. Few rivers flow into the plains and the farmland is maintained by a series of irrigation canals.

PICTURE COMING

The Island of Somerset is the traditional holdings of the Rhodes family, stretching back to the time of Jocelyn of Rhodes. The Seaforth section on the island contains the City of Bethesda and a joint service naval base. The eastern area of the island is leased long-term to Rokkenjima and consists of Urakawa City (Civilian) and Elpidiana a city for military personnel and dependents while the Office for Illumic and Tripartite Affairs sits semi between them. Somerset is an autonomous zone under the sole control and possession of House Rhodes. Somerset remains a part of the Kingdom of Seaforth.

The Rokkenjiman portion would then simply be known as the Rishiri Imperial Overseas Dependency.

Propulsion plant :-CODAG-WJ (Combined Diesel and Gas Water Jet)
Speed max:- 40 kts
Complement total:- 75 persons
Endurance :-21 days
Range :-3,500 nm

Radar System:- PAAMS - Designed to track, target and destroy a variety of high performance air threats, including saturation attacks of very low altitude (sea skimming), supersonic cruise missiles, fighter aircraft and UAVs. PAAMS, with its connection to the Vertical Launching System, can launch 8 missiles in under 10 seconds while simultaneously guiding up-to 16 missiles to designated targets at any one time.The East Moreland Fast Frigate PAAMS(S) variant consists of two long range radars and capable of tracking in excess of 1,000 targets at ranges of up-to 400 km. The Designers also claim its radar has "excellent detection of stealth aircraft and missiles".

Weapons Systems:-

Front to back.

Either a 57mm or 76mm automated canon
A 40mm cannon (CWIS)
18 cell SAM VLS
18 cell SSM VLS
(Both VLS can be quad packed)

OverviewThe Saewoo H-34 is distinctive coaxial rotor attack helicopter currently operated by several squadrons of the FDDF's Air Arm. The aircraft includes an integral 30mm RKA cannon mounted on the starboard side of the fuselage, with limited direction away from the aircraft's directional axis, but a higher degree of accuracy than would be possible with a chin-mounting. Additional armament may be fitted on a mission a specific basis, with eight hard points on the two stub wings capable of mounting up to 2,000Kg of missiles, gun or rocket pods or auxiliary fuel tanks in any combination.

The aircraft is designed to maximise survivability, lacking the vulnerable tail rotor of more conventional airframes and mounting heavy 12mm plating around the cockpit and engine compartment, protecting the crew and vital systems from ground fire to a high extent. Redundant control systems, a package of passive and active countermeasures and a set of collapsable landing gear round of the aircraft's protective systems, all geared towards keeping the crew alive and the aircraft operational.

Several H-34 aircraft saw limited service against SCC forces during the Eugenics War, flying out of CIS FOB Transvaal and scoring several confirmed kills against armour and entrenched positions during the Battle of St Catherines and other engagements in the south of the country. The FDDF crews are reported to like the aircraft, owing to its high survivability and mechanical robustness.
