The Military Commission of Kazdel, formerly known as the Kazdelian Council of War until its rebranding in 1031,[1] is one of the antagonistic factions of the second part of Arknights'Main Theme. It is the major military body of Kazdel composed of Sarkaz mercenaries and soldiers that are currently occupying the Victorian capital of Londinium to further the goal of delivering the Sarkaz's vengeance unto the entire Terra.
The Military Commission was first established in the Terran year 898, after the failed, yet devastating crusade that led to Kazdel's third disintegration. In peace time, it is just a national defense force. Under the leadership of General Theresis, it is able to protect the country from interference of foreign power on its domestic issues, hence allowing Kazdel to be rebuilt.
During the most recent civil war, the Commission sided with Theresis and opposed the previous Sarkaz King Theresa due to ideological differences. Theresis enlisted numerous mercenaries into the Commission against Theresa's loyalists in Babel, resulting in a proliferation of mercenaries throughout the war.[2] It eventually ended with the Theresis' victory in the year 1094 through a siege conducted in autumn and a "decapitation operation" that cost Theresa's life, resulting in his crowning as the country's Regent.
Following the civil war, Theresis and the Military Commission entered Londinium after being invited by the Duke of Cavendish to help pacify the empire's succession crisis. He used this opportunity to have the Kazdelian army enter Londinium, effectively placing Victoria under Kazdel occupation. Even though their soldiers were equipped with crude weapons in the beginning, they easily suppressed the Parliamentarian forces spearheaded by the Tower and Steam Knights and took 70% of control over the city's wall guards within a week, leading to the total annihilation of the two elite forces. To prevent any uprising, they took almost a month to hang rebellious nobles.[3]
Since then, the Military Commission has been utilizing Londinium's facilities to fulfil Theresis' grand mission. By occupying the capital, they effectively control its military factories that eventually help upgrade their weapons. The soldiers of the Commission have since received basic military training through the command of Lettou, the leading wall guard of Londinium and a leader of Gallic restorationists. On one hand, the Commission helps guard the construction of an airship fleet and the reconstruction of the Shard into a giant Catastrophe manipulator. On the other hand, the Commission's actions only worsen the worldwide discrimination of the Sarkaz as it makes non-Sarkaz races stereotype them further with violence.
