Nedfry Svoboda was a Sahren politician, Field Marshal, President, and Minister of Horse of Sahr. He rose to power in 2144 in the Sahren Civil War, relinquishing the presidency in 2150. He was Minister of Horse until he resigned in 2158 due to declining health.

Svoboda was born in Dugthail, [Sahr] and was raised near the town. He was part of an unknown number of underground agitation organizations from a young age.

Career

Svoboda helped to start many illegal Republican organizations and later helped to merge them together into the general movement for Sahren democracy. He ascended to head of the GMSD after the death of former cheif of army Kake kerch in 2135. Members took to calling Kerch "The father" and Svoboda "The son". Svoboda made alliances with many socialist organizations in an effort to gain the support of the peasantry and labourers.

On Teince 5th, 2136 the GMSC marched on Khosa to deliver an ultimatum entailing the creation of a parliament and constitution to king Kirbo lavro. His excellency had only been coronated 7 days prior and had no choice but to accept to avoid a civil war. Many questioned the existance of the GMSC after a constitution was created, causing party membership to fall sharply. The parliament was hamstrung with corruption and power abuse for this short period of operation. Svoboda stepped down just less than a year in protest along with a sizeable portion of the GMSC. Parliament was forcefully shut down in 2138 and the GMSC was forced to dissolve and flee to Phoenia.

Time in Exile

Svoboda fled to Rokfor to found the Republican party with what remained of the GMSC with the end goal to launch a Phoenian backed inssurection in 2142. The Republicans merged with the Worker's party on Zayu 6th of 2138. Relations with Sahr and Phoenia entered a period of decline following SRGIA terrorist attacks in early 2140. Public opinion turned away from the Regency Junta which aided Republican recruitment campaigns. Svoboda made alliances with Bastian groups which would later pledge loyalty to the Republicans in the coming war. The treaty of Cath that ended the war of the Aontan straits posed the perfect opportunity. The plan had been delayed with 2150 as the start date, but many in the party reasoned that if the Republicans didn't start the war the NSP would start first.

Sahren Civil War

3 hours after midnight on the 17th of Kamprazdnóir, 2144, Republican militia crossed the border into Sahrland and gave out the code to guerillas still in the country. A vast majority of the Phoenian border guards were either sympathetic to the Republicans or had been recruited prior, and let the soldiers through.

“	Ora! welcome home brothers, now that spring has come!	”
—Nedfry Svoboda, citing the coded message for Republican guerillas.

Svoboda ordered Republican guerillas to sabotage infrastructure and communications to paralyze Junta reponse. The city of Sys fell with almost no resistance. Svoboda assigned himself as field marshall and cheif of army for the duration of the war. Svoboda quickly entered into secret negotiations with the recently deposed Kirbo lavro to launch an uprising in Dugthail, formally inviting Lavro loyalists into the Republican coalition. He also entered into intense negotiations with Phoenia for the rest of the month to back them above the other factions. Svoboda delegated most of the war actions to his generals as he secured foreign alliances and passed legislation. The chaotic offensives that followed were far below what he expected. By Meálhtyk Svoboda clamped down heavily on the high command, drafting the Straitéis Bastiya which stated the priority of seizing Bastia as it was not a stalemate like Sahrland.

By Yablokuull of 2145 Svoboda drafted a plan that theorized the seizure of Slovale and Klensagrad would bring the swiftest end to the war possible as the other factions would have lost a majority of their manufacturing capabilities. He approved the purchase of large amounts of aircraft and artillery from Phoenia in preparation for the operations and allocated eleven divisions to be split evenly for each. The operations were a complete success, with Tetraethalead causing such a rout the Labour party and NSP merged into the United front. Many skirmishes were still occuring across the nation, and the United front still had to be pursued out of the country, but Svoboda openly declared the war to be won.

Illness and Death

Svoboda had been a heavy drinker until 2144 due to civil war grain rationing. It significantly increased his risk for liver issues and in 2157 he was diagnosed with Cirrhosis thought to be exacerbated by illness. He resigned from his position as minister of horse and in 2158 and died from Cirrhosis in 2162. The nation was struck with grief and sorrow upon his death, and the resulting funeral service was one of the largest in Sahren history.

Quotes

“	In these times it is of utmost value to follow principles above their practical implementations. Involvement of a true Republican must always follow that of the unionist. It is a matter of acting as if the principles of a republic are in place when they are not. The interest of a Republican and a socliaist is the same, only that one comes from a demand for life and another comes from a demand on how to bargain such life.	”
—Nedfry Svoboda.

“	They called you a red! this is good, a true republican knows all are needed in this fight against tyranny!	”

“	One of the highest dishonours is to deliberately dispose of that which still has use.	”
