The Imperial Yvresian Army is a formidable and well organised force, consisting from highly trained marines, to new and somewhat less experienced troops of the Young Guard. They carry well made and sturdy weapons, and whilst their tactics are sometimes outdated, usually they can utilise their high morale and discipline to their advantage.

**Regiments of the IYA:**

HQ - organise everything, organise events, get people gear and help with the admin of the army

The YSB - the military police, CIA and FBI. The special police and spies of Yvres.

The Saint-Denis Marines. Elite detachment, uses boats to put manoeuvre and scout enemies lands. You must be extremely capable at combat for this position.

1er corps “Beynac Grenadiers” - the most prestigious of the foot infantry, with people generally being better and more organised.

2ème corps “Esaquin Hussars” - The cavalry of Yvres, you need to be competent on a horse and be able to out run and out manoeuvre the enemy.

3e corps “Young Guard” - the Young Guard is usually for more inexperienced soldiers, who need training or lack gear. The young guard are usually reserves and reinforcements.

Foreign Legion - Prisoners and convicts from any nation hoping to earn their citizenship and return to life with a blank slate.

Auxiliary - Usually foreigners, militia or other groups, who have been called in to fight for Yvres. They are usually a mishmash of nations/mercs.

Expeditionaries - A small group of foot infantry that conduct daring expeditions to ruins and historical sites, as well as being able to be deployed to foreign nations to assist their militaries.

**Weapons of the IYA:**

*Standard Gladius:* Issued to every soldier who passes basic training, and is a versatile tool that can be wielded easily. It has many uses, official ones, such as killing enemies at short ranges, to unofficial ones, such as cutting up the rations. The Yvresian rations are considered to be the best out of all the armies in rathnir.

*Standard Rifle 'Blanche 626':* Made by the famous and reliable Blanche company, this is a very sturdy and reliable weapon, effectively being able to fire at enemies from long distances, whilst being able to reload and hold ammunition for long periods of time without needing to be swapped out. The Blanche 626 has been in service for a long time, and veterans of the Kartek war will remember its reliability and knack for getting the average foot soldier out of trouble.

*Officer's Sword:* The officer's sword can be made of one of 3 materials: Diamond, Emerald or Netherite. Upon completion of officer training school, an officer can pick a Katana, a Rapier or a Sabre to be his or her choice of weapon. Officers are usually gentry and hence are tutored in sword fighting from young ages.

*Standard Revolver 'Blanche 523':* This is the standard officer's revolver, being one of the most useful tools to an officer. Usually issued upon enrolling in officer's academy, the pistol was only recently brought in in favour of the more outdated *'Blanche 455'*, which had a tendency to overheat.

**IYA Uniforms:**
