Description: As the Maelibus named Varimea started her little underground movement to destroy the government of Melida/Daan and then later on the whole planet, many people became interested in such a nightmarish idea, wanting to join the mentally ill woman on her pursuit towards destruction.
Varimea saw the support she had started to gain and decided to make a proper military unit out of these people. Even though most of the people who joined her were peasants, low-scale criminals and street rats, she saw much potential in them, and possibly the fact that these people wouldn't be cared about if they died during the fight.
The woman called her followers the Layar Tide and started training them, slowly and one by one, so that they could at least hold weapons and know how to swing them. However, she saw there to be no reason to turn these people into elite soldiers, knowing most of them would be lost in battles nonetheless.
Promising to bring a better life to those who joined her, Varimea advertised her new group of soldiers in the other underground movements at Melida/Daan and started gaining more and more interest and support from other criminal syndicates.
However, the mission of Layar Tide exceeds all of those other criminal organisations', as they seek for the complete destruction of the planet. An impossible goal, because they really couldn't stand against trained soldiers at all.
