This article deals with the armed forces of the different nations on Eden-IV. Some of these may have individual articles.
Contents
Cormerra Army
- Nation: Republic of Germanistan
- Strength: 600
Final Force
- Nation: Organization HOUSE
- Strenght: 300
Germanistan Army
- Nation: Republic of Germanistan
- Strength: 1.2 Million
The Germanistan army was finally cheated about fate of Eisen Isenmar and accepted Vedess Akshar Chander as top commander.
Jaeger
Storm Trooper
Jump Trooper
- Main article(s): Jumper Trooper
- Equipment: Rocket Pack, Claws
A Germanistan soldier using a rocket pack that allows them to jump distances of several hundred meters in vertical or horizontal and glide for about 1.2 km. These soldiers are solely stationed on the Asgardet floating fortress and are designated for air-to-air combat should any enemy (Germanistan assumes this enemy to be Texana) become capable of challenging the floating fortress with a similar airborne weapon. They are also sometimes used to wreak havoc on cities from above. They do not carry heavy weaponry, but are equipped with claw gloves for climbing up on an enemy airship's walls, which they can also use as weapons, and can use their rocket packs to launch streams of flames at a target. In this way, they make excellent shock troops against cities that are otherwise well defended against ground attacks (Siege warfare ocasionally still occurs on Eden-IV) by setting buildings ablaze and sabotage important installations. They are not thought for prolongued engagement, however.
Germanistan Army Ranks

30px | General |

30px | Captain |
30px | Leutnant |
There might be other ranks, but these are the only ones that play a role in the RP. For example, it is most likely that there are ranks between the three "General" ranks and the lower ranks. Officers in Germanistan's armed forces usually are not part of any of the troop classifications stated above. Captain / Colonel Mayer and Leutant / Major ShangDi, despite being members of Germanistan's army, fight wering equipment of the Tucci Army (perhaps this is because they commandeer a substanital force of the Tucci Army, which is allied with Germanistan). Brigadier General Salsin and Major General Celine retain their personal weapons they had before their promontion, as does Vedess. In the Germanistan army, at least ranks above that of Colonel are not part of the troop classifications. Usually, officers commandeer combined forces of all types of troops, unlike in the Tucci Army, were a Centurion is always asigned a ten-member squad of one type of unit (although there can be exceptions for special operations).
Leutnant
ShangDi, a soldier of Germanistan responsible for the operational details in Litovania is of this rank.
Captain
Mayer, the local officer in charge of all operations of Germanistan's forces in Litovania, is of this rank. There is also indication that he is a Specialist, judging from his apparent understanding of ancient technology and the Nemesystem.
Major
ShangDi is promoted to this rank after the succesful completion of the operation in Litovania.
Colonel
Mayer is promoted to this rank after the succesful completion of the operation in Litovania.
Brigadier General
Salsin raised to this rank when Vedess became General.
Major General
Celine raised to this rank when Vedess became General.
General
The General is in charge of all military forces of Germanistan. There seem to be certain sub-categories of this rank, since Vedess is promoted General in charge of the forces of Freethinkers HOUSE, but has no power over the conventional forces of Germanistan. It could be that this was a promotion to an HOUSE-intern rank (much like General Rajan is General of Liamb HOUSE, not the Tucci Army). The other type of General, that appears to be the final rank, can commandeer all forces of Germanistan and also holds legislative power in case of the incapacitation of the government. Vedess is promoted to this rank during the final hours of Germanistan.
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
- Nation: Dukedom of Litovania
- Strength: 600
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.
