   *<color #7092be>Cascadium Territorial Reserve Defense Force (CTRDF)</color>\\ The 'citizen soldier' reserve of Cascadium mostly composed of young (17 to 22 year old) conscripts and semi-paid older reservists. It is intended to provide both additional manpower to the main surface defense force as well as a readily available local combat force to rapidly address threats which may land on far flung portions of the planet. It is made up of various leg and motorized infantry, mechanized, and aviation formations.

They operate a handful of security cutters, several squadrons of light attack craft, and a company's worth of specialist troops intended for low-grav or zero grav combat operations or orbit to surface assaults.

+  *The capital is the coastal settlement of Arns City with a population of 652,000, it hosts an orbital tether tied to the main orbital port of the planet. It also features road and rail links with most of the other terrestrial settlements.
+  *Cascadium is a frontier colony world with a population of around ten million mostly settled around the starport/orbital lift cities with development and infrastructure expanding around these sites.
+  *As stated above the planet is a frontier world who's primary output is agricultural goods, however recent years and mineral discoveries have led to a growing and healthy industry in various processed metallic ores.
+  *There were three waves of settlement,
+    *The first wave mostly composed of those oriented on self sufficient agricultural pursuits and whom settled haphazardly before the initial main cities were sited and built as a result they tend to be the most rural. (Conservatives?)
+    *The second wave, mostly consisting of those looking to establish manufacturing and or the support infrastructure of gradual colony growth (and or get in the ground floor of) arrived roughly fifty years after and more than doubled the population in a decade. These are mostly responsible for the rapid growth of the planet's three main population centers. (City/Suburb folks)
+    *The third and or on going wave, this consists of corporate or corporate hired individuals seeking to exploit the resource wealth of the planet, especially a particular mineral required for the manufacture of gates and FTL drives. Unlike the first two waves these are primarily not seeking to do long term settlement and often clash with those of the first wave over land use.

 === War on Cascadium ===

    *Dawn, Day Eleven - While scattered resistance continues the surviving highest ranking Gali officer makes contact via radio and offers terms, he is rebuffed with a unconditional surrender demand and accepts it several hours later. Three days beyond this point the area is completely pacified and all hostile troops are disarmed and moved into mass holding areas under guard. One heavy marine battalion however has pushed through the object and into the world beyond, preventing its deactivation and establishing a foothold in the world of Eideon.
 === Counter Attack ===
   *(Pre-June 15th 2789 A.D.) CSF and UASM forces have established a kilometer wide perimeter and held the gate structure on the otherside for the better part of half a month. After one major attempt to retake the structure and the surrounding ruins (noted by the first troops through) it has been quiet aside from the occasional incursion by small hostile units. Unbeknownst to them they've set off a mass uprising in the occupied territory the structure currently sits on. However high and low level observation via VTOL Drones has begun and the plan to push through into this other world has more or less been completed with the Cascadium side becoming a mass staging area.
