Phoenix Empire

Organizations

Imperial Navy (The Fleet) - Emerging from the Jardin Wars, the Imperial Navy (and its twin the Army) is the permanent standing military arm of the Empire, which must never be confused with the Phoenix's Starforce or the Imperial Guard, in practice principally concerned with the Red/Blue Line. Its massive bureaucracy negotiates with the estates-general, whose consent is essential for the various corvees and levies necessary to maintain its authorized strength. Ostensibly apolitical it is one of the most powerful interests groups of the Empire, itself equal to any of the major houses.

• Battlefleet
• Reserve Command

A Dragoonship of the Heartbreakers

Imperial Starforce - Where the Imperial Navy and Army are the arms of the Empire, Starforce is meant to be the popular muster of the nobility as the Phoenix's private volunteer army. Overseen somewhat loosely by the Household Registry and the Phoenix's appointed Marshal, new formations are constantly being raised and others disbanded and as such its overall strength is constantly fluctuating. As it provides the largest share by far of the Empire's Cavalry units, unfairly or not, it has become associated with the stereotype of noble warriors out for adventure and glory.

Imperial Army

• Garrison Command
• Assault Command
• Occupation Command

Imperial Guard - Many institutions and protect the Pheonix in its various aspects. Of all of them the Imperial Guard alone cares only for the safety of the Phoenix the actual, living person and their family. Not the Pheonix as its abstract body the state, nor its soul, nor its interests abroad, their only task is safety of the fragile human body that is the Pheonix. They operate as the private army of the Pheonix on the battlefield, as open inspectors, or as secret investigators if need be. Answering only to the Phoenix their powers are broad and nigh on unrestricted.
