Imperium Chemical Army

Imperium Chemical Army Group
The Holy Imperium of East Niphilate, in making the Second Pablo doctrine one in favor of more defensive, less casualty ridden wars, embarked on a grand quest to create the Chemical Corps. This later evolved into the ICAG, under the Conrad Doctrine.

Sarin
The capture of Red Coast through defection rather than invasion during the Great War gave the Holy Imperium to a relatively pristine massive chemical weapons manufacturing facility, geared towards the production of tabun, a nerve gas. After the Second Pablo Doctrine was announced, the facility began the production of sarin, a nerve gas deemed more suitable towards East Niphilate's strategic objectives. Acquisition of the facility by the Tarwam Corporation allowed production to nearly triple in less than a decade, allowing East Niphilate to stockpile the most formidable chemical weapons arsenal in the Cyberius. The massive chemicals industry which quickly rooted itself and left an iconic reddish-orange hue on the bay there, earning the bay its name, Red Coast.

Sarin is most commonly used in artillery and armoured warfare, through the use of the "Parisian" shell model, which combines concepts from gas projectors, cluster bombs and traditional artillery doctrine to create a system of dispersal which creates both an extremely high intensity explosion as well as fairly dense aerosol distribution of sarin.

However, certain advances, such as the Rothmann Puff Grenade (as part of the Conrad Doctrine initiative), have allowed highly specialised infantry units to use quantities of sarin in conjunction with both guerilla tactics and conventional warfare, completing the ICAG's viability within combined arms.

In addition, the rise of airship use has been instrumental within the promotion of the ICAG. A large body, capable of releasing supermassive quantities of sarin is ideal for sieges of particularly difficult hard targets, such as guerilla controlled forests. This was utilized to great effect during the Siege of the Pavensk Mountain Range of 81 APW, where within two days of ICAG Airship-Assisted Operations, Pavensky Reich rebels surrendered an entire mineral-rich mountain range's worth of territory. For his extraordinary efforts in Operation Millberry, Commodore Desmond Telvav was promoted to Rear Admiral, and given authority over the 1st Chemical Airship Squadron.
