Hrydonian Army

The Hrydonian Army (also known as the Imperial Army and Imperial Hrydonian Army) is possibly the oldest member of the Imperial Armed Forces. Established shortly after the declaration of Empire, it was then used for the next 170 years against the Aboriginals, the original inhabitants of what is now Hrydonia.

Weapons used

Flintlock muskets were used until approximatly 1862, at which time the few still in service were replaced by the Kingston 1861 rifled musket (similar to the RL Springfield Model 1861 and, among the Imperial Guard and certain units, the Henry and Georges lever action repeating rifle.

They were used off and on until their successors the Spencer and Kingston rifles were replaced by the Kingston 1900, which was based on the RL Mauser Gewehr 1898 and Springfield M1903.
