	Kouralia is a water world. With less than 14% landmass on the surface divided into hundreds of island chains, its inhabitants travel the world through alternate means. The most popular methods of travel are by sea-going vessels, both surface and submersible, but Kouralians also use a wide variety of airborne vehicles, from massive dirigibles to agile fixed-wing and rotary aircraft. Their travel habits are reflected in their military forces. Kouralia produces drop and air-mobile artillery regiments supported by airships, as well as L'Infanterie de Marine that travel the seas of Imperial worlds. Resource-wise, Kouralia exports huge quantities of seafood, and drills promethium from the sea-floor.		Kouralia is a water world.

	==The Hektor Heresy==		==The Hektor Heresy==
			When Hektor began his campaign to undo the Emperor's works, the entire galaxy erupted into civil war. Segmentum Pacificus was devoid of marines both traitor and loyal, but nevertheless it was embroiled in conflict between Imperial Mechanicum and auxiliaries, and their rebel counterparts. At the center of the Pacificus theater were the forces of the Al-Sherar Sector, especially the Markian Pact. Almost as immediately as the Hektor Heresy began the Al-Sherar Sector was invaded by traitors on three sides by Solar Auxilia, rogue Mechanicus, and other renegades. With many grand corps outside the sector and the armies of Ciban and Al-Sherar occupied, the Markian Pact stood only with themselves and what Ghalhal could provide.

	An honorary member that is allotted a representative's seat by virtue of providing the bulk of the Markian Pact's equipment, Ghalhal is a forgeworld younger than any other world in the pact. Founded in the ruins of the old Ghalhal which was lost in an interstellar war from the Age of Strife, Ghalhal's culture is a strange blend of old Ghalhal, the Markian Pact, and the Mechanicum. Although the techpriests of the Markian Corps hail from here, Ghalhal is under no obligation to provide troops; though it still often sends a token detachment with grand corps, and would assist the Markian Corps directly if the subsector is threatened~~. Its most revered forces are its Thallax cohorts, which possess an eery djinn-sight unlike any other~~.

The Crimson Reign and the Fall of the Markian Pact

	As the Imperial Truth could not resist the iron heel of the Ecclesiarchy, neither could Markia weather the Imperium's growing superstitions. The Markian Pact was on a path for destruction, but the Markians could not accept that. They pretended they would forever remain a beacon of reason in the seas of despair and lies, while the galaxy around them fell to pieces. Thanks to the efforts of the aristocrats and the artisans, Markia as an alliance ended not with a bang but a whimper. There were several points that could be considered signs of the Markian Pact's decline-the Imperial Navy Incident, the Flight of the Free Legions, the Lost Corps-but the true death of the Markian Pact came in the wake of the Age of Apostasy, with one Athenais Vernier.

There were several points that could be considered signs of the Markian Pact's decline-the Imperial Navy Incident, the Flight of the Free Legions, the Lost Corps-but the true death of the Markian Pact came in the wake of the Age of Apostasy, with one Athenais Vernier.

	Grand Marshal Athenais Vernier was commander of the ~~73rd~~ Army of the Markian Corps, whose tale from guardsman to grand marshal was a story worth hearing ten times over. Vernier became a distant darling of the Markian people, her feats reaching across the galaxy back to Subsector Markia. An aristocrat of Atashia invited Vernier home for a party, which she accepted, returning home a hero. However, Vernier did not see familiar faces; even those who she once knew well were now as strange and alien as the creatures she fought in the darkest corners of space. Vernier was no longer like her former brethren; she succumbed to the ruthless pragmatism befitting of an Imperial general, and now saw only weakness in the false idealism of Markia. As she reacquainted herself oath the nobility she could not help but feel disgusted at the willful ignorance of the aristocracy, playing their games and acting as if their soldiers were only wasting their lives fighting for an Imperium already safe.

	Vernier left the Markian Pact once again, only to return with not one but three armies of the Markian Corps. The Markian Corps stormed the capital, and Vernier personally marched into the council chambers, and randomly shot several councilors. Upon a steel throne atop a Leman Russ Vernier ensconced herself in those chambers, surrounded by politicians too terrified to so much as move or utter a word. The Crimson Reign of Vernier had begun, but it would not be Vernier but the people of Markia themselves who would enact bloody vengeance upon each other, for they had at last succumbed to the despair that consumed the purest of hearts. The Crimson Reign would continued for only a year, however, as Vernier committed suicide by throwing herself into the seas of Atashia, her own spirit broken by years of tragedy and war.

	Before the Hektor Heresy the Markian Corps possessed a vast fleet beyond the venerable voidships used to fight Old Ghalhal, consisting of manyfold battleships and cruisers crewed by indigenous Markians. Though ~~throughout its existence~~ the Markian fleet had replaced its native hands with various press-ganged conscripts, the ships themselves had always been Markia's until the Imperial Reformation post-Heresy, when ~~Markia's~~ fleet, including ~~their~~ eight most ancient voidships, was divided from the Markian Corps and absorbed by the new Imperial Navy to the ire of ~~the~~ Markians. Worse, is that the Imperial Navy demanded the Markian Corps give all their aircraft, from air superiority fighters and bombers to dropships and support craft, to them, an order vehemently opposed especially by Kouralian officers who relied on air support. Ultimately, ~~despite fighting tooth and nail,~~ the Markian Corps ~~surrendered their void~~ and ~~aerial~~ craft, ~~except for Kouralia's airships,~~ and the ~~Markians' fervid defiance made~~ the Navy ~~reluctant~~ to ~~assist~~ the Markian Corps. For centuries the Adeptus Mechanicus~~, having better relations with the Markian Pact,~~ would ferry the Markian Corps to other worlds~~; a nonissue~~, ~~since only~~ the ~~Adeptus Mechanicus had~~ the ~~voidships necessary to carry Kouralia~~'s ~~STR regiments anyway. Meanwhile, Ghalhal continued supplying valkyries and Avengers~~ to ~~Kouralia, but after a second fiasco with the Navy it was barred from giving them other craft such as Marauders and air superiority fighters~~.		Before the Hektor Heresy the Markian Corps possessed a vast fleet beyond the venerable voidships used to fight Old Ghalhal, consisting of manyfold battleships and cruisers crewed by indigenous Markians. Though the Markian fleet had replaced its native hands with various press-ganged conscripts over its existence, the ships themselves had always been Markia's until the Imperial Reformation post-Heresy, when the fleet, including its eight most ancient voidships, was divided from the Markian Corps and absorbed by the new Imperial Navy to the ire of Markians. Worse, is that the Imperial Navy demanded the Markian Corps give all their aircraft, from air superiority fighters and bombers to dropships and support craft, to them; an order vehemently opposed especially by Kouralian officers who relied on air support. Ultimately, the two compromised: the Markian Corps may continue using dropships and close air support craft, but bombers and air superiority fighters were the domain of the Imperial Navy. Despite coming to and agreement, the Markian Corps's stubbornness drew foul feelings from the Imperial Navy, and the Navy's bitterness often kept Markians from boarding their ships. For centuries following the fiasco the Adeptus Mechanicus of Ghalhal or merchant captains would ferry the Markian Corps to other worlds, and even even in the forty-first millennium the Navy and Corp's rivalry stirs disputes; such was the damage they dealt to each others' pride.

	~~Following~~ changes in warfare's conditions, the Markian Corps too needed to change ~~tactics~~. Sky Marshal Marius Marie-Gaston Verdun was the first to address this, by inducing many reforms in the Corps~~. It was Verdun who introduced~~ the ~~Markia~~-Pattern ~~lasgun which replaced~~ the ~~Atashia~~-Pattern, ~~as well as~~ the ~~chimera transport. His reforms also more closely integrated Mechanicus support from Ghalhal, with grand corps often including a small detachment~~ of ~~Skitarii~~ and ~~a larger complement~~ of ~~enginseers and servitors~~.		With changes in warfare's conditions, the Markian Corps too needed to change. Sky Marshal Marius Marie-Gaston Verdun was the first to address this, by inducing many reforms in the Corps:

			* The replacement of the Atashia-Pattern laslock with the Markia-Pattern lasgun;
			* The standardization of Kouralian warship production with modern fire control systems, vox and radar systems, cruise missiles, and other modernizations of the aging Markian maritime fleet;
			* The integration of commissars in Markian ranks;
			* The removal of fighter and bomber wings from Kouralian air regiments;
			* And the improvement of training in specialist ranks.
