The second-largest of the organized factions. The Warsies are also more militarily inclined, organizing along troop batallions (read: stormtroopers retconned into “Alliance Clone Troopers” to maintain a friendlier face) and engaging in exercise maneuvers to keep their edges sharp.
Unlike the nearly-self-sufficient Feds, the Warsies are primarily a military faction. Many of its members have “normal” lives, even part-time careers in other places or pursuits, but they wear their cog wheels (the nickname of the gearlike design of the Republic logo) with pride, and identify themselves as per their rank and posting in the Warsie military.
Not quite a militia, not quite a standing army, people who interact over time with Warsie folk get the feeling that they’re waiting for something. This feeling is correct. In the event of an extrasolar incrusion, the Warsies have several plans and impressively large caches of material for prosecution of military action.
As the Boskonian problem has worn on and worsened, more and more Warsie ships have been put into action against this threat, and more Warsie factioners can be found in crew slots on non-Warsie fighting ships. While publicity and interest primarily focus on the big names and flashy tactics of the SMOFs, the Warsies are the unsung backbone of the Boskonian war.
While the Warsies don’t keep to themselves nearly as much as the Feds, they do maintain multiple ships that are Warsie crewed and commanded at all times.
The “short-lived conflict” mentioned in the entry on the Federation is still a bone of contention with the Warsies, though with the signing of the Treaty of Algeron, this has died down to the level of “friendly rivalry.” This change in attitude has been supported by the increased military activity by both factions against a common enemy, the Reavers.
The Warsies are the current holder of the “Stirrup Cup,” a small-craft piloting trophy awarded to the winning team of the All-Hallows-Eve Asteroid Race (an event occuring on October 31st of each year to commemorate and enforce the demilitarization of the Trekkie-Warsie conflict).
Warsie installations include the New Yavin station in L5 orbit, the Jedi Academy in the Oceanus Procellarum on Luna, and a major base on Mimas.
