Aboriginal Bannerets in Contemporary Oceanyka

As the Australian Army bled on the plains of South Africa during the Second Boer War, its need for professional officers native to the continent could not be ignored. A large number of young boys were sent to study at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst to prepare for contemporary warfare, many of which were young boys from ancient banneret families. These harboured an intense rivalry with Ferozen cadets of the warlord tradition, in which blood was sometimes spilled. Since then, banneret families have once more reclaimed their place as a bulwark of Oceanykan military tradition, nurturing generations of junior officers, many of them reliably reaching senior ranks for the first time in the history of this beleaguered socio-military class. Contemporary bannerets are known for their personal pride and loyalty, fighting to the last drop of blood and in the most adverse of circumstances if needed be. For these reasons they are more renowned as members of special forces units than their eastern counterparts.
