In order to maintain the vast interstellar nation, the Empire of Allech-Atreus must maintain a massive and powerful Military of the Empire. Divided into the Army and the Fleet, the military of Allech-Atreus is a massive juggernaut, difficult to stop but equally difficult to completely control.
The Fleet
Comprised of thousand of spacefaring ships and warcruisers, the Fleet is directly under the command of several semiautonomous officials.
In command of the Fleet are five Grand Admirals. They administer the entire fleet, and are theoretically the most experienced and veteran of all officers. The rank below them is occupied by the Lord High Admirals, 12 in number. Each Lord High Admiral is responsible for overseeing one of the 12 Fleet Sectors, comrpised of different planets and overlapping regional borders. Under the Lords Admiral are 54 Lord Admirals, and beneath them somewhere around 220 Admirals of the Fleet, or Fleet Admirals.
Beneath the Fleet Admirals are the Fleet Captains, commanders of the ships. Unlike previous fleets, however, the Fleet Admiral posesses his own ship, and commanders from there. Many admirals are in retirement or of active duty, and as such their ships are not the best.
Organization of the Fleet can be divided according to who is in command or by how many ships are in the assembley. Technically, any fleet which is commanded by a Grand Admiral is a "Grand Imperial Warfleet," but this title is simply honorific. A fleet comprised of 100 or less ships if considered a Flotilla, 500 or less a Fleet, 1000 or less a High Fleet, and 2000 or less a Grand Fleet. The only higher designation is the Supreme Imperial Fleet, theoretically consisting of all the ships in the Fleet. Naturally, this has never been assembled becaus of the sheer magnitude of the force.
The Emperor holds the title "First Fleet Lord Grand Admiral," and any fleet with him in command is a "Grand Imperial Fleet of the Imperial Throne." Only three Emperors have ever led one of these: The Jeddawan Emperor, Alastar I Khoomsai, and Allech-Atreus I.
Technically, all seafaring ships are under a seperate command, but many Admirals in the fleet command sea ships as well. Imperial Army units are usually beholden to the Fleet, but oftentimes an army general can outrank and command a spacefleet.
The Army
The Imperial Army is divided into several groups within itself: the Imperial Guard, the Imperial Regulars, and the Regional Levies. Each of these divisions is under the same command in times of war. (In times of peace, the Levies are at the command of their regional government).
Seperate from the command structure are the Imperial Pulsar Guards, the personal guard of the Emperor, his family, and his estate.
The Army command structure is put together much like the Fleet, with 5 Grand Marshals commanding 12 Lord Field Marshals, commanding 54 Field Marshals, commanding 220 Marshals. However, the Army structure delegates further, and the 220 Marshals are in direct command of 500 Generals of the Empire.
The basic unit of Imperial Army organization is the Thuy, or group of 10 soldiers. 10 Thuy make on Hoyt, 100 soldiers, and 5 Hoyt make one Uyj, 500 men. Two Uyj make one Thay, 1000 men, and five Thay make a Purq, 5000 men.
The Purq is the basic unit of defense for part of a planet. Most planets have two or three Purq to defend them.
