Description

While in modern times the Tegalan on Tegalus had reached a technological level similar to the 1940ies in America, Europe, or on Earth in general, the time of their shared history under the Greek/ Hellenic Goa’uld Cronus/ Kronos and later the Celtic Goa’uld Camulus/ Camulos was long gone for the 5,000,000 modern Tegalan this mattered little, as overall the radical differences between the modern Caledonian Federation and the Rand Protectorate between the superpowers on Tegalus, or P5C-982 as the Tau’ri would name it in most dimensions and realities. Over time the rivalry, border disputes, skirmishes and cold war between the Caledonian Confederation and the Rand Protectorate, the border region, which mostly overlapped with the former Camulus Wall which separated his original truly colonized and held regions against the barbarian lands of escaped slaves, sinners and rebels. The tale that the Ring of Avidan had been activated and strange silver knights, looking like the followers of the old gods and people living in the ancient cultures and societies of Tegalus had ignited the followers of such cults and sects, still believing in them, like the Teampul Fàinne/ Geata (Ring Temple/ Gate Temple/ Temple of the Ring/ Tempel of the Gate/ Stargate Temple), Cartùche Sect (Cartouche Sect), Seilg Chult (Chevron Cult) and others. At the same time the civil unrest in the cities, towns and countrysite coming from such radical groups, or overall frigthened citizens listening in to these rumors of alien invasions, returning gods, or simply the end of times and days caused even further confusion, anarchy and chaos all across Tegalus. Nowhere could that be felt more, then in the militarized and disputed border regions, were the majority of 480,00 Rand soldiers and 570,000 Caledonian soldiers, mostly infantry, some with vehicles, even armored ones, air forces and a total of 160 intercontinental rockets both superpowers possessed in total.

Said intercontinental rockets while not nuclear, or naquadah enhanced still had massive warheads of ten or more tons, which could destroy anything within a mile, with most of them being aimed either at the contested fortified border positions of their rivals, or main urban and therefore industrial and military centers in Caledonia and Rand. While most of these were around 10 tons, regular artillery and mortar shells often only weight around a ton, but their larger quantities, especially in the contested border zone made them not less dangerous for the majority of Caledonian and Rand soldiers targeted by them, even in bunkers and fortified positions. Just a few special superguns had shells that ranged from 2 tons, 3 tons all the way to 4 tons, but those often were not very accurate, could only fire a few times each hour and were more of overall propaganda tools to encourage the own side and strike fear into the enemy, then truly militarily efficient. The insecurity over local unrest, uncertainty, anarchy and chaos that was only made world wen civil and military intelligence suggested that groups like the Teampul Fàinne/ Geata (Ring Temple/ Gate Temple/ Temple of the Ring/ Tempel of the Gate/ Stargate Temple), Cartùche Sect (Cartouche Sect), Seilg Chult (Chevron Cult) and others had rallied and unified behind the charismatic and fanatic leader Soren, who would unite them into what he called the Avidanists, named after the Just Gods of Avidan. The activation of the Ring of Avidan, so Soren, was a sign that the old gods would return and wash away the corrupt sinners who had caused the downfall of Tegalus with their, as these Tegalans were the very reason the old just gods had left and abandoned them, leading to the fall of paradise, high culture and civilization back into the stone age, dark ages and barbarian times. With some cultists and sect members in the military defecting to Soren’s Avidanists not all intercontinental rocket silos were under control of the Caledonians or Rand anymore and their military forces had to retake them fast before this incidents would case a full out war between the and prove the religious fanatics right about their talks of the End of this world.
