Romeran Republican Voluntary Armed Forces

  • Nation: Armed Republic of Romera
  • Strength: 1,200 (peak at 2137), 0 (now, official)

The RRVAF was a military organisation that served as the national army of Romera. Soldiers joined on voluntary bases. Although magnificent in some tactics, the army overall lacked professionality. It was dissolved after Germanistan's occupation of the country. Its combatants, however, play significant roles in the countless resistance groups that have sprung up in the country, so it is actually wrong to say the RRVAF stopped existing.

Royal Guard

The Royal Guard is the national army of the Litovanian dukedom. It is of little military value and mostly used for ceremonial purposes. Its conscripts use simple rifles and no armor. When Germanistan invaded the country, the few corps of the Royal Guard that actually fought, were beaten easily by the Germanistan Army.

Sothfarian Voluntary Armed Forces

  • Nation: Magic Queendom of Sothfar
  • Strenght: 400,000 (peak), 0 (now)

The SVAF was founded to defend Sothfar during the Psion War. It had little actual military power compared to military forces of that time and consisted mostly of civilian settlers who formed local or regional militias to fight against the Mageran troops. However, in both the shere number of combatants, that is today on Eden-IV only exceeded by Germanistan's army, and the amazing technology used, the SVAF would easily dwarf any military force present on Eden-IV today.

Grey Guard

The Grey Guard was the Sourcerer's personal guard and over time developed into the regular army of the nation.

Ruby Guard

Even amongst the telepathic elite corps of the Grey Guard, the Ruby Guard was an elite force.

Tucci Army

The Tucci Army is the national army of Nova Roma, but infact it is only the personal army of the Tucci familiy.
