Parakkan Guard
This is general military of the Empire, and is divided up into a number of specialist branches, which are mentioned
below. It is also worth noting that currently the Parakkan Guard consists of twelve armies. When an army is disbanded or destroyed a new one is formed to take its place though the old army name or number is not used again.
Commandos
Considered to be highly trained personnel. Their primarily purpose is to be used to carry out raids on enemy positions. The Commandos are part of the Guard structure.
Rangers
The Rangers are some of the best scouts in the Empire, their training enables them to navigate any terrain that they face. They are also expert survival and tracking experts. Typically there is always a group of 5 rangers deployed with any Guard or Commando operation. Rangers are also known for their skills with a sniper riffle, and said to be so good they can compete with the T.A.U. The Rangers are also part of the Guard Structure.
Tactical Assault Unite (T.A.U)
The T.A.U, are a highly trained unit, that is used for specialist assaults and missions that the regular army and Commandos are not suited to undertake. Typically soldiers in these two divisions are expected to operate in teams of 5 to 10 men. In order for people to qualify to join these T.A.U they must pass a series of gruelling tests both mental and physical. As such drop out rates for candidates are nearly at 89% of applicants. Those who do pass the various tests are considered to be the best Soldiers in the Empire and most highly trained (next to the Talons). T.A.U fall under the Command Structure of Special Forces Division
The military naval force of the empire. The navy takes part in any naval operation that is necessary. Much like the
Guard the Navy is made up of twelve naval fleets, and when one is destroyed or disbanded a new one is created in its place. In addition the Navy is also broken down into some specialist fields listed below.
Coast Guard
The Coast Guard are responsible for patrolling the Empire waters, and ensuring no one illegally enter the Empire or conducts illegal activity in the Empires waters
Marines
Very similar to the Commandos. Their main task is to board enemy ships and if necessary capture the ship. They are also used for amphibious assaults.
Parakkan Airforce
The main airforce of the Empire, which takes part in any military operations that the empire requires. Unlike the Navy
and Guard, the Airforce isnt broken down into armies or air divisions in a normal sense, it is instead broken down into Seven Fleets. Each Fleet is located in a different part of the Empire and is often broken down further to suit the role of the Airforce, and to ensure that the Airforce is distributed throw out the Empire. However, there are also a couple of specialist departments within the Airfoce listed below
Air Logistics
Responsible for moving military equipment and personnel both in peace and war times. Will also coordinate relief where necessary to places and people that needs it.
Drone Division
Responsible for drone maintenance and operations
