National Reikist Imperium

The National Reikist Imperium, or known as the NRI, is a Helghast based one-party totalitarian halo clan created in January 2013 by SentryStrike after the fall of the United Union Federation with the Halcyon Resolve or Halcyon Party becoming active in 2014.

In May 2016, the National Reikist Imperium was reformed under HalcyonVisari additionally spearheading the Foundation vs Establishment movement with Clan Orta and Divine Angels. The NRI would go on to engage in many major community wars, fighting the Colonial Federation in 2017 and the Golden Republic of Aurum in 2019, in addition to the ongoing conflict against the Ortarians.

History
After many years of hostilities between many clan powers, political extremism and factions within it's borders, the United Union Federation was faced with numerous problems under Sentry Strike. These problems eventually became too much to control, and a new type of government was considered in order to distance away from the traditionally communistic approach that the UUF partook in since 2011. By the beginning of January 2013, Sentry Strike ended the UUF, taking complete power, creating the National Reikist Imperium and the creation of a single party state, the Halcyon Resolve.

Ideology clashes were inevitable, as the Sentries, a group of ex UUF members which came from the classic progressive sector and favored more of the communist background, came head to head with the Halcyons, which favored more in the far-right paramilitary culture and a strong single leader. Small skirmishes followed, leaving the NRI divided and weakened as the Sentries began talk of remaking the UUF in 2014, so Strike followed. The NRI would be dormant for a year and a half, while Strike looked for a young, devoted leader to take leadership and fulfill his vision for the Halcyon Resolve.

On May 6 2016, Strike's wishes were granted when a boy named HalconVisari asked consent to reform the NRI under his rule and bring order, to which Strike conceded. Visari's clan, Aegis Empire just fell and needed a new clan to lead.

With the Commonwealth 's mass rallying to many clans across the community for assistance in the war against Vast in June 2016, creating the Military Memorial Alliance, the NRI was one of the first of many to rally to TCW's cause being fully aware of the danger it could lead being a small clan at the time and having little resources. A few days into the month, Naval Command would open a second front, completely decimating remaining CW defenses, leaving Vast to finish off the remaining MMA holdouts. The NRI would survive this assault, and regroup, beginning a mass rearmament phase while watching the proceeding Vast-Exodus conflict. The community in this time period would see the move into the Discord app as a standard means of communication, straining away from the limiting Kik app. The Age of Discord begins.

Foundation movement
Upon the impact of seeing the damage caused by non RP clans that fluctuated into the community, NRI developed with the support of Clan Orta and the Divine Angels the Foundation vs Establishment movement. Divided into community beliefs, the Foundation was coined to determine which clans supported RP ideals and traditional conservative military values while the Establishment were clans such as Exodus and Naval Command who preferred more progressive community policy and were open to competitive claning for Halo 5. The movement divided the community into several discords and sub factions, fracturing community opinion and making the HCC ever more divided.

CF Community War
In 2017, the Colonial Federation began a expansionist campaign regarding HCC autonomy and new raid systems, claiming in order to restore RP values, clans must submit to eventual CF policy in perpetuity. Despite the invitation to join the Foundation, the CF's chancellor ShadowSniper172 wanted little influence from Clan Orta, with many of the CF's colonies being very divided regarding the Foundation vs Establishment movement. Internal plans were made regarding the destruction of Exodus, NRI, Naval Command and many others as to establish a "greater clan community" similar to the Commonwealth's mission a year before. The CF grew to an immense population, concerning clans in the Foundation and the HCC. During a practice raid against the CF colony of Armis, NRI stole the facility and took possession in fortification. In defiance, NRI burned the CF colonial flag. In retaliation, the Colonial Federation declared a state of open war against NRI on March 24 2017, fully mobilizing 200 members ready for action, beginning the CF Community War.

On March 27 2017, ShadowSniper172 personally commanded his elite Federation Guard and began his assault, beginning the infamous Battle of Armis. The battlefield surrounding Armis was heavily invested by CF guardsmen and coordinated attacks were made against the Halcyon/Ortarian troops. CF shelling of grenades and small arms fire were constant while Visari's army defended the fortification for great lengths of time, being relived by Halcyon ONI wasp attacks from the air. In the end, the NRI successfully repulsed further infantry attacks sent by Shadow and Armis was held in Halcyon hands until the end of the battle. Armis proved a decisive battle in more than one sense and was seen as the turning point that dictated the course of subsequent HCC history, leading to mass division within the CF. The NRI would continue the war with surprise attacks against the colony Shon and street fighting on the CF Capital with major participation of Clan Orta. Exodus, UGN and FS opened several fronts in engagements against remaining CF colonies, with the clan ending April 3 2017.

Halcyon - Ortarian Cold War
In the following months, Orta and the NRI would attempt to plan an invasion against the growing threat of the United Golden Nation and its coalition with Lotus 'Xin Mercenaries. Bellicose, a heaven under DA, would start to cause issues regarding anti foundation activities and displaying poor conduct, with Orta wanting to severe ties with the clan. The NRI closes their border to Orta, as faith between the two clans begin to falter. With the coalition growing, Orta attempted to halt the conflict by the promise of removing Bellicose's leader Lycan in return for the coalition backing out. It is rumored Orta threatened war against the NRI and DA if compliance wasn't assured. Lycan is removed from power, but only publicly, secretly running his clan. On July 11 2017, NRI ended their alliance with Clan Orta with the claim that Rikki has Ortarian informants feeding him information and Orta stealing maps The Halcyon - Ortarian Cold War begins.
