Lore
The Slime Army, one of the greatest factions that ever graced the Earth. Under the iron-fisted dictatorship of Lord Pinky, who reigns forever in the hearts of Slimes, the Army has rose to a great power that can even threaten the Hallowstone unions. The Slime Army has no true zonoage to itself, but rather, it has forces across all zonages. This is what makes it so deadly, for if the Slime Army goes to war, an attack can come from all directions. But the so-called capital of the Slimes is the SACQ, the Slime Army Command Quarters. It is from there where the upper echelons of the organisation rule every aspect of everything below. Unlike many of the other factions, the Slime Army did not have humble beginnings. In the mid 1.1.2s, King Manacracy the Fifth was about to step down, and with no sizeable heir, a major reform had to be imposed on the Slimese Hierarchical system. Slimes have always been bound to a strict class-based hierarchy, which had been based on a Slime's size. It may sound horrible, but remember, Slimes have a different concept of freedom to us Terrarians. A election for a new ruler and system was held, and it was during then when Lord Pinky seized power. Not only did she win the vote, but also the awe and interest of the other Slimes, for no one had seen a tiny pink slime before. Indeed, the new rarity-based hierarchy was perfect for this rare Slime to come into spotlight. Before that, she would be considered a freak of nature. Following that, the Slimes had a brief civil war, which formed the basis of many of the Slime Army's relationships in the present day. In the end, Lord Pinky's side, allied with the Underworld denizens, beat the opposition that had united with the Jungle Faction. Assuming ultimate command, the Slimes began a vast military campaign - unlike anything of the pacifist Slime Royal Regimes. This saw the conquest and settlement of many new territories, of which our ancestors turned a blind eye to. In the end, it was too late, when Lord Pinky finally unleashed the wrath of a new superpower on Hallowstone. For the first time, our ancestors were matched in combat, and the war that followed was known by many names. Our history textbooks called it the War on Miraki, while the Slimes called it the Legend of Pinky. Ultimately, the war ended in a draw. The ruling king of Hallowstone then was killed in a rash move, while Lord Pinky surrendered after a siege brought the SACQ to it's knees. By then, it was too late to undo the ideological afflictions Pinky had did to Slime society. The resistance of the Terrarians, if anything, made the Slimes more patriotic. And as peace treaties were signed, Lord Pinky still remained in power. She has been until the late 1.2s, where she stepped down from official positions and only ruled as ideological figurehead. I do not think a single Slime has laid more of a mark on not only Slime history, but the history of Terraria as a whole before. Today, Slimese-Terrarian relationships are alright. No more wars, I hope. Though, the Jungle Faction still hates the Slimes with burning passion for their war crimes of literally annhilating a third of the Hornet population and burning half of the Great Jungle with flammable insecticide and a few cannons. The Slime Army is always characterized by it's ultranationalistic, almost fascist ideals. The Slimes are a proud race. It is said that every Slime is brought up in conditions that would make a adult Terrarian break. They routinely hold huge military parades to remind the world never to look down on armless blobs. Even then, the Slimes still get jealous quite easily, and as a race, they have always yearned for arms. Like what, even Hornets have arms. Even fanatical lizards have arms! But the Slimes have to make do, and trained themselves in alternate ways of using weapons. So if you love unwavering patriotism, military might and a strange take on our world, you might just like the Slime Army.
