"Space ships can win space battles and force the surrender of planets, but only the upholders can take hold of the ground. Without the ground, space ships will remain in the void of space and rust"

- Captain

The Loyalist Upholders was the military branch containing the ground forces of the Loyalist Ensemble. Since 21 AQF, when the ranks of the Loyalists expanded the ground army was founded and operaed as a guerilla force aimed to harassing the enemy force rather than facing them in open battle. Facing overwhelming numbers when in combat with the Galactic Empire of Cyrannus, its tactics were often geared to hit-and-run rather then conventional battle or open war.

The most prominent battle the humans fought at that time was at the airbase of, where the dissidents attempted to steal various space F16's.

These sturdy and powerful walkers allowed the Upholders to fight heavier battles and have a counter answer against the Imperial Walkers.
