The State, a different State. A Unified one. The goal of the Unified State was made clear through the months of planning within spring of 2021. Logan, Kusan, James, Lendo, and Rollins came to the agreement that their prime had passed, and that a new era of State for the newer generations needed to be formed, with old principles taught and passed down. The goal of the Unified State was not to bring back a guild and flaunt its power and former prestige, but to instead give the youth an opportunity and community to make a name for themselves, bring out their potential, and make an impact on the Graal Military Community.

History

The Beginning (February 2021)

Planning for The Unified State (though the name had not been established at the time) began in February of 2021. This lasted for several months and rotated many individuals in and out of the planning phases, throughout multiple group chats. In the end, the majority of the planning was done by Logan, Kusan, James, Truth, Lendo, and Rollins. Throughout these months, dozens of topics and options were discussed and combed through, from themes and uniform concepts, to the end goal of the guild.

The CrUeL Company (May 25th - June 5th)

The CrUeL Company was one of the most organized companies with heavy emphasis on documentation and recruitment. The construction of the company within several days was a difficult obstacle, but thankfully Nekronian soldiers who answered the call of duty such as Monty, Chillim, Konev or Teddy Naz along with Savi and Nyoko Xuko or Spyros and Mavis Çonsilim from Kozak then, were retained after Nekron was put to rest. When CrUeL was active, it held high expectations, as the talented team pulled off its construction spectacularly given the time limit they were given. Despite the fact that CrUeL was a newly built company, it successfully managed to advance in numerous friendly tournaments against the rest of the companies. Subsequent to the company running smoothly, Naz had his doubts and wanted to chase his own career and launch his own projects, therefore he considered a merge with Han and Kozak, the wisest decision in that case. On June 5th, CrUeL Company merged with the Han and Kozak Company.

The Birth of The Unified State (May 31st)

The Unified State officially launched publicly on May 31st, 2021.  There was an astounding amount of members who attended festivities for the day to show their support and pride of the rebirth of The State. General Kusan presented his troops at the base stairs of Onnet Town, after which a speech was given by Kusan which concluded with a unanimous “Hail State!” resonating amongst members. 

Following a successful launch day, on June 1st, 2021, Graal servers shut down. Speculation amongst the ranks suggested that the administration disrupted their efforts to revive The State to keep it from launching. In the past, admins and The State have had rough history, but this did not stop the patriotism and energy within the guild.

 “We may not have been able to play the game, but our spirits thrived through a server wide Discord call that lasted hours into the night.” 

The Unified State returned to Graal on June 2nd after servers were running efficiently again. The State Military would then launch an aggressive front of propaganda in the effort to assert dominance in the GMC.  Every guild was seen as opposition. Sergeant Major Reggius began logistics work and began creating in depth activity rosters for each company.  War was on the minds of Statesmen that day.

A mass assembly of State troops arrived in Destiny, coined as "The Southern Conquest", by General Kusan. The goal was to take Destiny primarily and then move North into Swamp and Deadwood respectively. This would not be an easy task considering Arcadia, who was referenced as “The Sleeping Lion”, held the territory of Destiny. They had held a strong and lengthy presence in the community, but their strength was dwindling as the days went on. 

The Unified State VS The Vehm (June 4th)

Arcadia: Disbandment Broadcast; Official Dissolving Statement

The Unified State VS Arcadia and Allies

After some exploring, Captain Naz and General Kusan located a PK zone within the volcano of Big City, and deem this as claimable land. As they began gathering soldiers to claim Big City Caldera, word is received that the Arcadians and its allies were gathering in Battle Arena. Arcadia with their allies, collectively calling themselves "The Vehm", seeked to respond to The Unified State's ultimatum of surrendering Destiny, or a state of war would be enacted. The Unified State hastily began gathering troops and approached Battle Arena with around 22 soldiers. However, to high command's surprise, Arcadia enlisted the help of four other guilds to aid in their fight, topping over 60 members upon entering the battle. The Vehm was prepared to take out The Unified State once and for all to prevent it from seeing the light of day in the future Bastion system. With odds stacked against them in regard to sheer numbers, battle experience, and organization, The Unified State was looking at a steep uphill battle, under the screenshot system nonetheless. Despite this, with the help of several key tips from Donald (a former Arcadian), who played an instrumental role in the thriving victory to assist The Unified State with valuable information.

After hours of battling, Imperio Quin (an Arcadian ally) would collapse towards the end of battle, as their tag was mass kicked. The Unified State would eventually come out victorious, and The Vehm was humiliated in front of the entirety of the GMC as their defeat broke records. As if the humiliation wasn't enough, Arcadia, currently drowning in disappointment and shattered self confidence, decides to host the 77th Conclave within the next day. With The Unified State demonstrating its might despite the odds, proving themselves as a force to be reckoned with, the previous battle seemed to be the final nail in the coffin, and Arcadia was laid to rest after its defeat.

With Imperio Quin and Arcadia having collapsed, The Unified State would win its war against The Vehm, which consisted of: The Arcadian Republic, The Kingdom of Arnithen, Semper Forctus, Imperio Quin, Helsingor, and Livonia.

The Han Company (May 31st - September 10th)

The Han Company was initially launched under the command of Captain Travis Peusilis, along with the assistance of numerous notable soldiers. General Auel Kusan publicly announced the launch of the company on May 31st. The company hastily began recruitment and achieved the goal of a 50 member tag in under a week's time. Within a couple of weeks, the initial officer core was established. Members such as Arnold who had begun as Sergeant or Thanatos who had proven to be a worthy officer at Senior lieutenant and Vulnus had stepped in to keep stability within the tag. During the course of the following months, the roster would change dramatically, following Travis becoming Major of the company and Arnold leading the reigns as Captain. The company ran with very little obstacles along the way up until Vulnus executed changes in the ranking system of companies, eventually introducing double Captains.

At the time, Spyros and Reggius Çonsïlïm were already planning their own company's launch, before being told to perfect the already existing companies first. This was also the partial reason for The Unified State's rank system change, as to prevent rank inflation among the companies. After a couple of weeks of Spyros and Reggius leading Han to stability the, time had come for their own company, The Consilim Company. With Thanatos having proved his ability to lead, Spyros and Reggius proposed him to be the newest Major of Han Company, and he was given the rank he deserved.

Not long after transferring, The Han Company entered a state of near shutdown crisis due to the tag dropping in numbers. Fulfillment of responsibilities and disorganization began to surface. As Han was on a timer to die, after events that occurred in Consilim which placed Spyros Çonsïlïm in The Kozak Company again, he couldn't bare to watch it die and offered to re-introduce himself to Han and double tag as Captain in both tags, essentially aiming to lead both of them successfully and save Han. Thanatos and Spyros placed Han Company on a revival path naming it: "Han Rising". After days of dedicating effort to its rescue, The Han Company was back on its feet again and was better than ever. New members were introduced into the company and were given new opportunities. People such as Kai, Raven (Formerly known as Christi) and Gothic were keen soldiers in Han company, showing exemplary ability and dedication to the company. Han scored 15-25 members online and the mission had been successful. After Consilim's disbandment, Reggius had now been declared the new Major as Thanatos was moved up to Lieutenant Colonel. After the rocky leading of Han Company due to trouble working together, Reggius took it upon himself to "retire" from Graal, leaving Spyros as the new Major of Han. Following the previous weeks of common normalcy, unexpectedly Thanatos retired from his position due to the upcoming school period. At the time, Spyros knew the school period was about to make its appearance and the mark it would leave was unpredictable and possibly unstoppable.

It was too late for preparing for this sudden change though. That however didn't stop the introduction of another Major, who had more than proved worthy of the position after indescribable impressions given. Impressions of a new leader. Emberlynn, who during Consilim's disbandment, transferred into Han Company, is now titled Major and Spyros had been awarded with a High Command position. To Emberlynn's previous position replacement came Kai Maximus, who had personally been mentored by Thanatos and Spyros to take on its duties. The school period had arrived however, and with it Emberlynn, Valentina, Rin, Hoshi, Samuel and a few others were forced into retirement. The damage was irreversible, and Han dissolved along with the rest of The Unified State as a whole.

Consilim Company (July 10th - August 15th)

In a casual night, Spyros and Reggius Çønsilim were having a conversation about the overpopulation of the two existent Companies and about the fact that promotions can no longer possibly be given as all positions have been acquired by individuals. After a lot of discussion, they created a plan for a new company under the name "Regium Company'', led by them and took it upon themselves to propose the plan to high command. The plan was approved under the condition that Spyros and Reggius would work to perfect Han and Kozak before launching a new company. They immediately took this work into their hands and did their best to improve the companies to be the best versions they could possibly be.

After nearly a week, the plans had begun. Before officially launching Regium Company, Spyros approached Reggius to initiate a change. They both agreed on the new name and The Consilim Company was born to honor those before them as they were both new generation Çønsilims. The Company ran smoothly for a fair amount of time, with Spyros and Reggius excelling at teamwork. A while after, following the retirements and resignations of important officers and other soldiers for instance Jace and Emberlynn, the captains of Çønsilim, the company struggled to stay on its feet. A few days before this incident, Spyros and Reggius noticed some trouble with communication which was when a transfer with Jace (Kozak) and Spyros (Çønsilim) was executed to ensure a better future for both companies. However, after the said individuals resigned, not long after, the disbandment of the company was announced and its troops were transferred between Han and Kozak on August 14th.
