Arkanian Imperial Army

The Arkanian Imperial Army (AIA), referred to as the Arkanian Army or the Imperial Army, is the ground forces branch of the Imperial Arkanian Armed Forces, the military branch of the Imperial Arkanian Empire. The Army has a large inventory of armored vehicles, due to the fact that the previous government's army participated in few battles. The Arkanian Imperial Army already operates a new, modern force of vehicles due to the fact that its predecessor, the Arkanian Republic Army, already updated its aging force of armored vehicles, replacing the pre-Terran vehicles still in service.
== History ==
=== Founding the Army (2036) ===
The Arkanian Imperial Army was founded in 2036 along with the other branches of the military shortly after the Imperial Arkanian Empire was founded. Formed from the Arkanian Republic Army, the Arkanian Imperial Army inherited a modern inventory of tanks and other armored vehicles produced by the Second Arkanian Republic. These vehicles include, but are not limited to, the A2-C2 Main Battle Tank, the D1-E1 Medium Tank, and the C1-C1 APC. Older, pre-Terran era vehicles, such as the EV-3-130-4 Main Battle Tank, still see service as reserve vehicles. Vehicles obtained after the dissolution of the Democratic Libertarian Party of the Philippines and the subsequent acquisition of the Philippines, such as the RT-35, still remain in service.

=== The Arkanian Expansion (2036) ===
The Arkanian Imperial Army landed troops and vehicles onto the planets of neighboring systems obtained by the advancing Navy, but extra precautions were taken to make sure the planets had a breathable atmosphere and safe gravity for future Arkanian settlements.
