Hurian Penal Legions

The Mandinka Expansionary Forces (MEF) are the paramilitary force of the Mandinka Federation, charged with filling the offensive roles of the military. It is made up of criminials, traitors, cowards, and disgraced military personnel, who fight for a chance to redeem themselves, and rejoin their brothers and sisters. Though it recieves less funding, and gets all of Mandinka's second-hand military equipment, it has proved its worth time and time again, prevailing where it was believed it would fail. The government, despite the MEF's successes, seeks to destroy the MEF, but do so in a manner that it gains something from the sucidial missions the MEF is constantly thrown into. It numbers some 7-9 million active soldiers, but this estimate is unreliable, as the War Council has never cared enough to actually take a head count of the force due its the flucating numbers.
