Saegon Armed Forces

The Saegon Armed Forces, often called the Imperial/Saegon Military, is the martial power and organization of the Saegon Empire.
The name of the Armed Forces is synonymous with the name of the Saegon themselves. Many aliens, when referring to the Saegon Armed Forces, will simply call it "The Saegon".
Finding its roots back to the days of tribal warfare, the species ancestors nearly all warriors themselves, the military is without question the oldest organization in Saegon history. While the modern day military is certainly more advanced and unrecognizable compared to its founders, the ideals of martial prowess and dominance still remain heavily embedded into Saegon society.
== Branches ==
Consisting of five branches, the Armed Forces covers every aspect of both life and location in the empire. The arms of service are listed here by size.
=== The Saegon Army ===
Given the duty of defending the land of Saegon planets and tasked with invading foreign ground. The largest military division of the empire, the Army is the best equipped and involved uniformed service the Saegon can offer. After the Navy destroys a worlds orbital defenses and continues to deal with the remaining fighter forces, the Army moves in to finish the job.
=== The Saegon Navy ===
The Saegon Navy manages the empire's fleets, which consist of thousands of warships, starships, and other vessels capable of interstellar travel or combat. 
Civilian starships must register every eight years with the Navy.
==== Naval Structure ====
Saegon military vessel designations are:
# Ship - The individual craft
# Group - Group of ships
# Division - Divisions include Assault, Defense, Command, Supply, etc.
# Fleet - Fleet #
For example: The 3rd Ripper-class Battleship of Group 6 in the Assault Division of the 2nd Fleet would be Ripper-36A2

=== The Saegon Air Police ===
This branch consists of the fighter jets that defend the skies of imperial planets. It also manages transportation aircraft and spacecraft entering/leaving orbit.
Formerly the Air Force, the branch has downsized compared to its role in the Homeworld Age. Modern fighters are now space-capable to an extent, and their purpose in combat has morphed into policing friendly skies. While in theory they will engage spacecraft invaders during an assault, this almost never happens given the empire's extensive defenses on even the most remote outposts. As such they manage traffic in and out of their planets and ensure illegal goods, criminals, smugglers, and enemy agents never make it past the spaceport.
The Air Police take their orders from local governments on the worlds they protect but follow federal guidelines set by the senate regarding trade and commuters first and foremost.
=== The Saegon Department of Water Defense & Spice Collection ===
As it says in the name, this branch defends a planet's water and collects spice deposits from its oceans. They see the least action of any branch and take their orders from the respective planet's leadership. With minimum training required, entry into the service is relatively easy. Because its sailors are almost always from the world they serve on, it's seen as a respectable way to serve with limited effort or risk.
Founded to take over the Navy's original job once it moved to the stars, the DWDSC for a time had its hands full. Over the years, a multitude of things changed. Control of the department switched from the Navy to local governance and the need for its existence continued to vanish.
In modern times where water-based piracy is hypothetical and anti-water weaponry is virtually all land/space-based, the DWDSC has taken on the role of environmental rangers and spice drillers. Pollution prevention and cleanup, collection of underwater spice deposits, and managing local nautical endeavors are the branch's mainstay.
There have been several efforts to disband the branch, calling it "unnecessary" and even "primitive". Some leaders have called for it to be reabsorbed into the Navy. Others have deemed its functions irrelevant and can be accomplished just as easily by private organizations. Regardless, the department seems to have no end in sight.
=== The Saegon Special Operations Division ===
This branch is made up of the finest in the empire, let it be soldier or ship. These troops carry out the harshest task the empire has to give.
While a difficult course of about 2 weeks is required, the branch relies more on battle-hardened warriors with experience in place of training. Correlating to this fact, the SOD is the smallest branch of the Armed Forces.
They take their orders directly from the Supreme Commander, Officer, and High Senators.
