Glossary

Organisations

AAA

Asian Ancestral Army. 19th Century Chinese group, which engages in pacifist warfare annually to celebrate Chinese New Year, and is based around the Ancestral Restaurant in Christchurch.

ALFs

ALFs Imperial Army. Victorian British Colonial Pacifist Warfare organisation. The original Pacifist Warfare organisation, the Wizard of New Zealand is their Patron.

CAS

Czar's Army of the South. "White Russian" Pacifist Warfare group, based in Dunedin; it contains one regiment, the "1st Lindskiis", and is usually refered to by this name.

CNSM

Canterbury Naval Soviet Militia (1910s Russian Communist). Pacifist Warfare unit which is sometimes a part of KEA, but will turn on you at the drop of a hat. Based in Christchurch.

KEA

KAOS Expeditionary Army. This is the military wing of of KAOS. KEA isn't just about Pacifist Warfare, although that part is admittedly popular; it's intended to organise 'days out'. KEA regiments are based around KAOS branches.

NCGOO

New Church of the Great Old Ones (a Cthulhu Cult). Superceded by RCGOO (see below).

NCLMI

New Carthaginian Light Marine Infantry. A Pacifist Warfare group that, despite the name, tends to wear heavy padded armour and carry tall shields. Based in Dunedin.

OUHGS

Otago University Highland and Gaelic Society. Scottish cultural club that engages in Pacifist Warfare from time to time. Based in Dunedin.

RCGOO

Reformed Church of the Great Old Ones (a Cthulhu Cult). A group dedicated to opening the gates and ushering forth the elder gods of Lovecraftian fiction to end the age of humanity in fire, blood, mutation and madness. Preventing this requires regular Pacifist Warfare battles. Based in Christchurch, but rumoured to be part of a sinister global conspiracy. Officially, they don't exist, and certainly aren't connected with KAOS in any way.

Miscellaneous

HELS

Her/His Excellency's Land Ship. A designation for KEA tanks, adapted from the archaic British term 'His Majesty's Land Ship' ('Excellency' being a form of address for Dictators of KAOS).

KAOS

Killing As Organised Sport. KAOS branches are based around university campuses, and mostly recruit students, although leaving university doesn't necessarily mean leaving KAOS... see also About KAOS.

Pacifist Warfare

Massed 'soft' toy weapon combat, where the goal is not to win but to have fun. Battles can often be very silly affairs. See also the KEA Military Handbook.

PSB-SG

Peer Street Boys' Spud-Gun. The occupants of the Peer Street flat, and a number of their regular guest were fond of such devices. This denotes that the device is (or was) built, owned or operated by one of the 'Peer Street Boys'. In Pacifist Warfare, such weapons are only fired into the air to rain (soft) stuff down on the combatants.

Notes

This History is a work in progress. Please contact the Lieutenant Colonel regarding any errors or omissions.

The coloured title-bars in this history represent the subject or host regiment.

Groups marked in yellow bold are the designated victors; this isn't relevant to every kind of operation, mostly battles. If more than one is marked these groups were victorious allies; in draws no group is marked.

Groups with an asterisk (*) are the organising or host group; the coloured title bar signifies in which KEA Regiment's territory the operation takes place.

All ranks in KEA are to a greater or lesser degree temporary; staff rank lapsing on a yearly basis, while field rank is assigned for a single operation. However, all ex-officers have the honourary rank equivalent to the highest rank they have held to date. KEA ranks marked in bold are field ranks directly earned through that person's own initiative in putting together units or devices, or in logistics or intelligence (as opposed to staff or field rank appointments). See the KEA Military Handbook for a fuller explaination.

If a group has not more than three people in the field, nor monsters, beasts, or devices, it is generally not counted in these tables.
