Army of the Light (Fanon addendum)

This is a comprehensive list of fanon addendums to the lore of the Army of the Light.

## Structure and rank hierarchy

### Structure

#### Sector Armies

There are sixty Sector Armies assigned to specific sectors of Great Dark Beyond. Each Sector Army is led by an Exarch who takes orders directly from High Exarch Turalyon. Not all exarchs in the Council of Exarchs lead a Sector Army; their numbers fluctuate.

#### Divisions

Every Sector Army comprises exactly one hundred Divisions, each led by a High Vindicator. High Vindicators serve as the Exarch's lieutenants and most trusted officers, hand-picked by the Exarchs themselves.

#### Subdivisions

Each Division is further divided into five hundred Subdivisions, led by a Vindicator and consisting of four Marines. Vindicators act as squad leaders in each subdivision.

#### Auxiliary Subgroups

In addition to the established Sector Army - Division - Subdivision structure, some Sector Armies have incorporated specialized auxiliary subgroups to enhance their operational capabilities. These auxiliary units are strategically integrated to address specific challenges and contribute to the overall efficiency of the Army.

##### Divine Archer Detachment (41st Sector Army)

Within the 41st Sector Army, the Divine Archer Detachment stands as a formidable auxiliary unit. Specializing in long-range combat, these shock troops unleash devastating attacks on enemies from a distance. Armed with bows and arrows infused with the Light, the Divine Archers provide unparalleled support, turning the tide of battle with precision and deadly accuracy. The Detachment is led by the stern High Vindicator Nedrah, who is constantly annoyed with the antics of her Exarch, "Lord Nel" - her father - who keeps referring to requesting the Detachment's aid as "Dad is asking for D.A.D.'s help".

##### Extermination Squadron (51st Sector Army)

The 51st Sector Army has incorporated the Extermination Squadron, a specialized unit dedicated to handling Void-related issues. Equipped with advanced technology and specialized training, this squadron addresses threats stemming from the Void, ensuring the safety and stability of the Great Dark Beyond. Their expertise in countering Void entities makes them an invaluable asset in the ongoing efforts to secure the sector. Led by Exarch Caliestes personally - herself a void analyst, well versed in the denizens of the dark -, the X-Sq has a tendency to mysteriously appear wherever and whenever needed.

##### Medical Squadron Delta (60th Sector Army)

The 60th Sector Army, known internally as the "Martyr Squad", boasts the inclusion of Medical Squadron Delta. Functioning as a rapid-response medical team, this auxiliary subgroup is equipped to swiftly address casualties on the front lines. Their advanced medical facilities and skilled personnel play a crucial role in minimizing downtime and ensuring the sustained combat readiness of the Sector Army. Led by the motherly Caregiver Torilaar, the MS-Delta consists of seasoned surgeons and medical personnel.

#### Auxiliary Personnel

Some Sector Armies may have High Representatives, Messengers (like the 42nd Sector Army)

#### Ranks not linked to hierarchy

* Officers above the rank of Vindicator, who command one or more naaru vessels may choose to wear the title of **Warp-Captain**, or **Captain** for short. Vindicators may have their own attack frigate, such as Deuteros' *Legionbreaker,* while High Vindicators mostly command larger vessels like Vicaaryna's *Perenaar.* Exarchs usually command the massive flagship of the Sector Army.
* **Grand Vindicator** is a title held by veteran High Vindicators who chose not to ascend to the rank of Exarch, instead opting to remain in a mentor/advisor role.
* **Divine Archers** are members of the Army who specialize in using bows and arrows. They are able to wield the Light from a range.
