Triumvirate Military

Triumvirate Military Patch

The **Triumvirate Military**, officially known as the **Galactic Federation Triumvirate Armed Forces**, are the armed forces of the Galactic Federation Triumvirate and consist of two main branches: the Federation Branch, which includes the Galactic Federation Army, Galactic Federation Defense Fleet and Galactic Federation Starfighter Corps; and the Imperial Branch, which includes the Imperial Army, Imperial Navy. In times of war, the Planetary Security Forces of the Triumvirate's member systems can be drafted into the Defense Forces to bolsters their numbers. The Triumvirate Military was formed from the armed forces of both the Fel Empire and Galactic Alliance Remnant after the conclusion of the Second Imperial Civil War and the formation of the Galactic Federation Triumvirate. It integrated of each factions' strength into a stronger allied military.

## Structure

### Federal Branch

The Galactic Federation Army, Galactic Federation Defense Fleet and Galactic Federation Starfighter Corps, known collectively as the **Galactic Federation Defense Forces**, are the standing military force of the Galactic Senate, tasked with defending the Galactic Federation and its member states, with the except of the Fel Empire which has its own branch of the Triumvirate Military. The Defense Forces are separated by operational regions: the Core (includes Deep Core), the Colonies, the Inner Rim, the Expansion Region, the Mid Rim and the Outer Rim (includes Wild Space and Unknown Region). The Defense Forces are generally passive, sticking strictly to a security role patrolling and guarding their galactic region. They have a main headquarters and several bases across their region which they move between. They serve as a deterrent to the Imperial Branch as their combined might is much larger than their Imperial counter-part, though each regional force is smaller than the Imperial Military. As every offensive action by the Defense Forces requires approval by the Galactic Senate's Defense Council, the Defense Forces are slow to respond to developing threats that are not outright hostile to them.

The Defense Forces are led by the Supreme Commander of the Triumvirate Military, who is the head of the Galactic Federation Joint Command located in Coruscant, composed of the chief officers of each of the Defense Forces' regional commands. The Supreme Commander is appointed by a majority vote of the three Triumvirs and serves for life, though can be removed from their post by another vote of the Triumvirs.

* **Core Defense Forces:** The most well equipped and trained of the regional forces as it protects the heart of the galactic central government. It is the only Defense Force that comes close to the Imperial Military in terms of equipment and skill. It has its headquarters on the world of Anaxes and bases on the worlds of Aargau, Belgaroth, Brentaal IV, Byss, Corellia, Coruscant, Fedalle, Gandeal, Humbarine, and Kuat.
* **Colonies Defense Forces:** It has its headquarters on the world of Byblos and bases on the worlds of Balmora, Commenor, Exodeen, Fondor, and Foundry.
* **Inner Rim Defense Forces:** It has its headquarters on the world of Denon and bases on the worlds of Bilbringi VII, Chazwa, Colla IV, and Drearia.
* **Expansion Region Defense Forces:** It has its headquarters on the world of Gyndine and bases on the worlds of Bacrana and Cyrillia.
* **Mid Rim Defense Forces:** It has its headquarters on the world of Druckenwell and bases on the worlds of Balamak, Bothawui, Charros IV, Deysum III, Kashyyyk, and Roche.
* **Outer Rim Defense Forces:** It has its headquarters on the world of Eriadu and bases on the worlds of Belderone, Bonadan, Elom, Emmer, and Falang Minor.

The Planetary Security Forces are individual security forces created by each planet individually and are tasked with policing only their areas of space. In times of war these Security Forces can be rallied into the greater Defense Forces by the Supreme Commander, as a means to greatly increase the Triumvirate's Military. Though this is seen as more of a desperate measure for extreme cases. Due to their decentralized nature these Planetary Security Forces vary greatly in terms of equipment and organization.

### Imperial Branch

The Imperial Army and Imperial Navy are the Fel Empire's standing military force, known collectively as the **Imperial Military**, tasked with protecting the peace and maintaining order within the Empire and aiding other Federation regions when requested. The Imperial Branch's main area of operation is Imperial Space, however due to their large militarized presence they also more aggressively respond to outside threats and developing incidents in other regions of the galaxy. It acts as a counter-balance to the Regional Defense Forces and Planetary Security Forces and a deterrent to separatist rebellions or coups. The Imperial Military plays an active role in the Imperial Conquest Zone, expanding the Empire's borders and control over the Unknown Region and Wild Space. Elsewhere it is mostly engaged against criminal elements like: pirates, raiders and smugglers; and occasionally rebel or separatist forces. Usually, the Imperial Military is autonomous from the rest of the Triumvirate Military, but in times of war the Imperial and Federation branches need cohesion and coordination. In such times, the Supreme Commander of the Triumvirate Military is given authority over the Imperial Branch by the Imperial Triumvir.

Unlike the rest of the Federation's other member states, Imperial planets do not possess their own Planetary Security Forces. Instead law enforcement is centralized and handled by the Imperial Security Bureau , while military actions are handled exclusively by the Imperial Military.

The Imperial Military is led by Imperial High Command, which is comprised of Army Command and Naval Command. The Joint Chiefs of the Army and Navy report directly to the Emperor, who is the leader of Imperial High Command. Each of the Imperial oversectors have their own Oversector Commands that contain both Army and Navy elements under the control of the oversector's Grand Moff. These are:

* **Ashen Crown Command**: Armed Forces of the *Braxant Oversector* of the Outer Rim. Currently led by Crown Prince Gallinus Fel. It has its headquarters on the world of Bastion.
* **Brazen Petard Command**: Armed Forces of the *Relgim Oversector* of the Outer Rim. Currently led by Grand Moff Aedelric Wessex. It has its headquarters on the world of Ord Trasi.
* **Bright Jewel Command**: Armed Forces of the *Bright Jewel Oversector* of the Mid and Outer Rim. Currently led by Grand Moff Caselin Vellam. It has its headquarters on the world of Ord Mantell.
* **Crimson Dagger Command**: Armed Forces of the *Axxila Oversector* of the Outer Rim. Currently led by Grand Moff Sieglinde Jaeger. It has its headquarters on the world of Axxila.
* **Dancing Blade Command**: Armed Forces of the *Glythe Oversector* of the Mid Rim. Currently led by Grand Moff Ookau Noth. It has its headquarters on the world of Iridonia.
* **Sable Hand Command**: Armed Forces of the *Gradilis Oversector*, also known as the *Imperial Conquest Zone*, most mobilized of the Oversector Commands as the region is the most unstable. Currently led by Princess Xarah Fel. It has its headquarters on the world of Nirauan.
