The Ventian Royal Military

Early Foundations
The Ventian Royal Army is the name given to the infantry forces of The Ventian Empire. The army was founded in 1647, along with the nation itself. It was founded by Levi Janneson in an effort to protect the rights and interests of the crown from outside invaders, namely the british that were gaining prominence in the south.

Early Military
The military first came into action during the War of the Colonies in 1689, when there was a large skirmish between American, Ventian, and Native American forces along the Southern St. Lawrence River that resulted in 32 dead. The conflict never led to war, but was Ventia's first taste of organized conflict. The military would continuously fend off Native American raids on settlements and would usually assist early settlers in an area.

Settler Forces
As expansion into the North and especially the West grew more and more popular, Ventia found itself spending more on protecting settlers, so it formed a seperate branch of the military that was a semi-official branch that closely resembled militia forces. Its primary job was to protect settlers and colonial ambitions, and became so prominent that in the 1790s about 1/5 of the Ventian Military was tied to the Settler Forces in some way. In the early 1800s, however, the forces began to disband as westward expansion shrank. One of the last towns settled by Settler Forces was Wallowa, a small town in Ontario that heavily relied on them to protect them from Native American raids. After this, the forces were disbanded and absorbed into the regular army.
