gaurd' but also the an Imperial House Legion of Praetorian Gaurd, which is the official
'non ceremonial' security attachment to the Imperial House Properties. Although not
assigned to any specific location, they are located at a seperate military base, and act
on the orders of the Emperor specifically, thus are much like Praetors Praetorian gaurd
that is acting specifically on the orders of a given Praetor. Often this group is broken up
into brigades for specific Imperial House lands that are important to secure, generally
this force is not deployed out of Dian Territories, and the deployments are in part
security planning.

Crown Bailiff
The Imperial Crown Ballif is incharge of 'keeping order' on imperial house property. There may be a number of 'sub Ballifs'. They answer to no one in performance of their duties, except of course the Emperor, and act on the orders of the Emperor. They may however, bring some individuals before the Imperial Justisar. The difference between
the Crown Ballif and the Great Steward is that the Great Steward is concerned with
more than just keeping order, the ballifs are generally 'civil' issues and more 'general
security'. The Great steward is more involved in actual combat, of the entrenched and
lasting variety, these two roles cross over at times. The Crown Bailiff generally
oversees a detachment from the Great Steward.

Forces 'are not officially' Imperial forces, the tend to fall under the control of the
Provincial Governments, which are commanded by the Govenor General, however tend
to fall outside the regular use of the Empire except in emergency situations, much like a
national gaurd. To compensate for this out of zone controla legatus is assigned to each
governor General (for military affairs) and to each Provincial Commander to act as an
Imperial Advisor, even though both the Govenor General and Provincial Commanders
are very likely to be qualified, they will most likely not be as old as the Legate, also
legates are voiced in other areas such as knoweldge of operations performed by lictors
and other special operations groups that a force commander may not be aware of. Also
the Legates also are part of the Imperial Intellience and Security Council which can be
a means of sendin information without disrupting the command structure. They
technically have no command powers over the forces they oversee but in cases of
emergency, coupes or other problem times they can issue proclimation of overturning
the commander of the force, usually with secret premission from the Emperor itself.
