	While it is smaller than many of its human counterparts — having only 15 fleets with mere hundreds of ships in each — the Imperial Fleet is perhaps the most experienced of the Orion Spur’s human fleets, having fought a variety of pitched battles and border skirmishes in the course of the Empire’s steady outwards expansion over the course of the last century. The experience gained during the course of these conquests has shaped the Fleet’s doctrine of “decisive battle,” in which the entire Dominian force moves as one in a massive show of force in an attempt to make the planet capitulate without serious resistance. Many frontier worlds, which often only have a paltry sum of combat-ready vessels, have surrendered upon witnessing the fully assembled strength of an Imperial fleet.

	The pride of the Empire’s fleets is the HIMFS ''Moroz'', the current flagship of [[Notable_Humans#Duchess_Huiling_Zhao,_Grand_Admiral_of_His_Imperial_Majesty’s_Fleet\|Grand Admiral Huiling Zhao]], the master of the Imperial Fleet, and the command vessel of the Empire’s First Fleet. Originally launched in 2445 and recently modernized in collaboration with Zavodskoi Interstellar in 2464, the ''Moroz'' is regarded as a symbol of national pride, and has never been bested upon the field of combat. To serve aboard it in any function – even at the lowest level – is to bring immense pride to one’s family name, and thousands of hopeful naval personnel apply to serve on the vessel every year. Though it primarily relies upon tried-and-true Helium-3 engines, the 'Moroz'' is one of the few ships in the Imperial Fleet capable of bluespace jumps. In theory, should the Emperor desire to visit the Republic of Biesel, he would be borne to it on the Imperial Fleet’s flagship.

	While the Imperial Army is prone to the occasional non-Jadranic Ma’zal officer out of sheer necessity, the Imperial Fleet is not the same. To be a naval officer is a great honor for many, and it is a right reserved for a select few: Primaries, Secondaries, and notable Novi Jadranic Ma’zals, which the Imperial Fleet views as “honorary Morozians,” for all practical intents and purposes. The highest ranks of the fleet are dominated by the Empire’s nobility, and none come from outside of House Zhao. Unathi in particular are looked down upon in the Imperial Fleet and rarely rise above the lowest ranks, with many believing that House Zhao’s intense distaste for their piratical backgrounds is the reason behind this. Those unathi that do opt to fight for the Empire in the vast reaches of the Orion Spur often avoid the Imperial Fleet entirely, instead opting to serve as privateers. These privateers, which are often crewed exclusively by unathi, are often viewed in a poor light by House Zhao and the Fleet.

	When compared to its major regional rivals, the Elyran Navy and [[Coalition of Colonies]], the Imperial Fleet ~~maintains a technological edge on both~~ and ~~a numerical advantage on the Elyran Navy. However~~, ~~a direct comparison to the~~ Coalition ~~is difficult due~~ to ~~its dispersed strength and varying development. While a [[Himeo\|Himean]] or [[Xanu_Prime\|Xanusanii]] fleet may be as strong as their Dominian counterparts, there are many worlds in~~ the ~~Coalition that cannot hope to stand against an Imperial fleet on their own~~. Imperial Fleet vessels rely ~~overwhelmingly~~ on large-scale ballistic armaments and tend to be large and heavily-armored in order to have more space for well-protected gun turrets. Fleet crews are constantly drilled in order to achieve the best accuracy possible, and little attention is paid to strategies such as ramming in order to board. Dominian vessels are generally slower than their Elyran counterparts as they use Helium-3 powered warp engines rather than phoron-based ~~thrusters~~. ~~With~~ the ~~shortage worsening every day~~, ~~it seems that their~~ vessels ~~will be made~~ with ~~He3 engines~~ for ~~the foreseeable future~~.		When compared to its major regional rivals, the Elyran Navy and [[Coalition of Colonies]], the Imperial Fleet is better-drilled and more experienced, but lags behind major Coalition planets in terms of technology and increasingly finds its engines dated compared to the Elyran Navy. Imperial Fleet vessels rely on large-scale ballistic armaments and tend to be large and heavily-armored in order to have more space for well-protected gun turrets. Fleet crews are constantly drilled in order to achieve the best accuracy possible, and little attention is paid to strategies such as ramming in order to board. Dominian vessels are generally slower than their Elyran counterparts as they use Helium-3 powered warp engines rather than phoron-based bluespace drives.

			The Imperial Admiralty has become increasingly alarmed by their lack of phoron-based drives as the Elyran economy has recovered from the Phoron Crisis and its military modernization has continued. The closing months of the Solarian Civil War have shown Dominia’s Admiralty that its engines may be more dated than expected, as the Hammer Drive-equipped Solarian 1st Battlegroup resoundingly defeated the Solarian Restoration Front’s vessels, which were mostly equipped with earlier-generation warp drives. The Fleet is divided in how to approach this issue: some favor equipping more vessels with imported bluespace drives, others wish to bring in Solarian technology to improve existing drives, and others wish to import Hammer Drives for Fleet use.

	An Imperial Fleet capital ship of enough importance, or renown, is assigned a complement of Imperial Marines for the purpose of repelling boarding parties or any boarding missions the ship itself may have to carry out. Clad in white-and-red prejoroub and Jinxiang-pattern suits, these well-trained infantry are primarily recruited from non-geneboosted Primaries and Secondaries. To have a child serve in the Imperial Marines is a badge of honor for many families, due to the prestige of the Fleet and the Imperial Marines’ reputation for bravery. Once Imperial Marines leave the Fleet they are often sought by both [[Zavodskoi Interstellar]] and Dominia’s various noble houses and families to serve as guards, retainers, and duelists-by-proxy. To employ a former Imperial Marine is often enough to give even the most dull Caladius bureaucrat a modicum of flair and prestige, even if retaining such services may force them into fiscal ruin in the long term.

	===Notable Flying Corps Equipment===		===Notable Flying Corps Equipment===

	The '''Zhurong Imperial Aeronautics Year of 2418 (ZIA-18) “Vampire”''' strategic bomber is the main bomber aircraft of the Imperial Flying Corps. Carrying a massive bomb load and equipped with six engines which allow for it to reach sub-orbital heights, the distinctive “flying wing” design of the Vampire gives it both its name and its exceptional Al flight characteristics. While able to fly high enough to avoid almost all air defenses and capable of carrying enough bombs to flatten a city, the Vampire ~~required~~ a significant amount of infrastructure which renders its use only truly viable after the Imperial Army has carved out a foothold on a planet the Empire has decided to annex. These massive aircraft are a common sight in the IFC’s bases in Outer Fisanduh, and are commonly used to strike suspected 3F garrisons or armaments factories — often through the use of extremely destructive munitions. Vampire are often commanded by Secondaries and crewed by Ma’zals, as few Primaries see potential glory in the grim role of strategic bombardments.

	The '''Zhurong Imperial Armaments Year of 2432, second revision (ZIA-32/2) “Carmilla”''' air superiority fighter is the near polar opposite of the Vampire. A small, fast, and agile craft designed to operate at any altitude within atmosphere, the Carmilla’s second revision marks the current peak of Zhao fighter design. Armed with missiles capable of striking its targets from beyond the horizon and a cannon capable of shredding opposing aircraft in seconds, it is no wonder the noble pilots of the IFC fight fiercely over the posterchild aircraft of the Corps. Its small size does prevent geneboosted individuals from effectively crewing it, which perfectly suits most IFC pilots — many of whom come from house branches eager to prove themselves in the glories of aerial combat. Carmillas used by Secondaries are often first-revision models redesigned for ground support operations, a role that the ZIA-32/1 has proven itself to be competent — if not exceptional — at. The Carmilla’s unusual name is rumored to have been hand-picked by the now-deceased Victoria Caladius, one of its primary funders.

	A rifle seemingly from another era, the '''Moroz Pattern Marksman’s Rifle, Year of 2408, Second Revision (MPMR-08/2)''', is an incredibly precisely-machined sharpshooting rifle based upon hunting rifles in fashion with the Empire’s Primaries intended for use by specialist units. The MPMR-08/02 uses a mechanism rarely seen anywhere in the armies of the Spur outside of Adhomai: a straight-pull bolt which must be worked after every shot by a trained shooter. Despite, or perhaps due to, this grossly antiquated mechanism the rifle’s stress-machined parts and high quality demanded — with ninety of every hundred barrels rejected — have given it a peerless reputation for accuracy and precision. In the hands of a trained sniper, such as a member of the Lyodic Rifles, the 08 is capable of drilling a hole through a coin at a kilometer. It is, despite the concerns of House Strelitz, one of the few Imperial Army weapons readily exported beyond Dominian borders, and many competition shooters swear by it.

The Moroz Pattern “Whipcrack” Direct-Fire Grenade Launcher, Year of 2455, Second Revision (MPDGL-55/2) was however designed with Unathi use in mind.

The numerous choices of rounds allow the Whipcrack to fill a variety of roles, from suppressive fire to anti-armor functions, utility roles, anti-personnel (through the use of infamous “grenaille” rounds), EMP, and more. Designed to fit the mainly infantry-based Unathi Regiments and their shock-and-awe doctrine, the Whipcrack can still be used by Humans without issues and has proved particularly popular in some of the Group’s squads thanks to its simplicity and reliability.~~'''~~		The Sinta of the Imperial Army, may they be in the many Unathi Regiments, or part of the few that can be found in the Group, all can use most of the standard imperial equipment without much issue despite their size and clawed hands, even if it’s not rare to see them make minor modifications to their gear.

	The Imperial Army has perhaps the most practical experience out of any comparable force in the [[Orion Spur]] due to the Empire’s seemingly unending conquests, which are providing it with ample opportunities to cut its teeth in open warfare and counterinsurgency operations. Its large size and multitude of active combat operations have given the Imperial Army a massive need for officers, regardless of their origins. Though it remains heavily stratified it is— despite the conservative leanings of House Strelitz — not unheard of for a Ma’zal to become an officer, though those that rise to such ranks are typically from [[Empire_of_Dominia#Novi_Jadran\|Novi Jadran]]. While a Ma’zal is capable of rising to the officer ranks, ranks above non-commissioned officers consist almost entirely of Secondaries and Primaries, and a majority of these officers are a part of or affiliated with House Strelitz. Noble officers of the House can be found at a variety of ranks ranging from platoon officers to general staff, and families of the House consider it a point of pride to have a relative serving as an officer involved in active combat. To many Strelitz no location is better suited to the honing of martial pride than an active battlefield, where the path to glory so often originates.

	While the Imperial Army is primarily a human organisation it does have some aliens within its ranks, primarily unathi from or affiliated with House Kazhkz and its Han’san faction. These unathi are formed into their own species-based units commanded by human, and often Strelitz-affiliated, officers that are attached to Imperial battalions as assault infantry. These “unathi regiments,” as they are typically known are highly prized by Imperial Army commanders, who often deploy them to the most dangerous areas of an assault.

	The common soldiers of the Imperial Army are most typically deployed on the Imperial Frontier, where they are responsible for much of the fighting and dying that takes place when a planet does not immediately surrender to the Empire when His Imperial Majesty’s Fleet arrives in the system in force. One of the most recent notable invasions carried out by the Imperial Army was the invasion and pacification of [[Empire_of_Dominia#Sun_Reach\|Sun Reach]], a planet located in a system with rich deposits of Helium-3. While the conquest took barely two months the Imperial Army has since found itself in a protracted war against insurgents on the planet, and has resorted to using more and more severe methods to pacify the population. While much of the Imperial Army’s combat operations are carried out against similar unconventional forces, it has engaged many conventional forces: primarily the militias and limited armed forces of colonies the Empire conquers. In these scenarios it almost always has an overwhelming advantage, and has yet to face a serious defeat on the open battlefield as a result. Imperial Army forces are also involved in what they term as “peacekeeping operations,” in Fisanduh alongside the Imperial Flying Corps, where they have been involved in an ongoing asymmetrical conflict for decades.

	Standards of living of the soldiers of the Imperial Army vary depending on both their rank and their social class of origin, though the meritocratic nature of its recruitment and organisation has ensured that these social class gaps – at least those in common ranks, such as the enlisted and lower-ranked officers – are not egregious. The general staff of the Imperial Army goes to great lengths to ensure that Ma’zals within it are treated well and have a better standard of living while in the Army than many had on their planets, which ensures that it always has a steady stream of willing volunteers signing up to serve. While life is often difficult in the Imperial Army, its personnel – from the greenest Ma’zal recruits just sent to Moroz for basic training to its Primary general staff – can count on the Army not abandoning them to die, or to go hungry in the cold.

			=== Unathi in the Imperial Army ===

			Originally, Unathi forces employed by the Imperial Army worked as a near-independent organ, with the highest ranked members being comparable to Generals and able to direct their own small, but effective forces however they wanted, as long as it was in the service of the Emperor’s will, of course. This drastically changed after their defeat during the battle of Three Peaks in 2454, where the Han’san clan, from which the large majority of these Unathi originated, was nearly wiped out. This led to a quick re-organization of how Unathi were to be handled by the Imperial Army.

			Modern Unathi forces in the Imperial Army are organized in “Unathi Regiments.” These relatively small regiments, adjusted to nowadays’ weakened Han’san clan, are almost entirely staffed by sinta, from footmen to engineers, logistics crew, medics, and other support personnel. However, each regiment is ultimately under the leadership of a human Colonel, almost always a Strelitz, and other human officers. This led to many frustrations for the mainly Han’san forces, whose new leadership sends them more often than not on recklessly dangerous missions, and makes promotions rare and generally limited. Besides political tensions, Unathi have caused organizational and logistical issues in the Army, with sinta troops requiring specific carnivorous rations, or forces needing to take into account Unathite sleep and activity cycles when planning for operations.

			While avoided by many Army divisions for their logistical and political concerns, these regiments, thanks to their small size and Unathi forces, can prove effective in many roles such as the protection of important individuals and locations and shock-and-awe operations. They are most often used in enforcement, may it be on the Imperial Frontier or Fisanduhan territories.

			Another place where Unathi can be found is in His Majesty's Special Operations Group, specifically in the non-geneboosted wing. Though rare, these Unathi can be great assets during special operations thanks to their strength and toughness. Unathi in “the Group” are not just selected for their skills on the field, but also for their profile, as they are expected to display absolute discipline and loyalty to the Emperor, in order to avoid the more reckless, glory-seeking sinta. Chances for promotions in the Group are even more limited than in the Unathi Regiments, but the occasional Sinta that can be found there generally join for personal reasons rather than a desire to make a career out of Army special operations.

			Unathi women are an extremely rare sight in the Imperial army, and the few that can be found there tend to be medics generally kept far from the front.

	A militia force under the control of the Imperial Army’s garrison in [[Empire of Dominia#Sun Reach\|Sun Reach]], the '''Sun Reach Home Guard''' serves as the first line of defense against dissenters and rural bandits for the outlying settlements and farms of Sun Reach’s Algae Belt. The men and women of the Home Guard are locally recruited from Sun Reach’s rural communities and, unlike many Imperial Frontier regiments, have locally-recruited officers — though they are often under the command (or supervision) of higher-ranking House Strelitz officers. The militia troops of the Guard typically work as algae farmers during their day-to-day lives but are expected to remain at the ready to be called upon to assist the Imperial Army or protect their local community. Small teams of Home Guards are often utilized by larger Imperial Army units as scouts or pathfinders for anti-guerrilla operations on Sun Reach due to their familiarity with the often-swampy local terrain and harsh environment. While typically equipped with dated weaponry and few vehicles aside from locally-produced airboats designed to traverse swampy terrain easily, Home Guard militia troops are known to fight fiercely. They are, after all, fighting to protect their homes. The troops of these militias are, through an agreement between notable mayors and local leaders on Sun Reach and the Imperial Army, not permitted to be deployed off of Sun Reach — a rare right for an Imperial Army unit, and one which speaks to their value as local scouts.

			The '''16th Unathi Regiment''', also known as “The Suicide Scales” is one of the most infamous Unathi Regiments of Dominia, both to the people of the Empire and its foes. Created in 2459, the 16th, like any Unathi Regiment, relies mainly on a small but highly competent infantry force. Often used as either a particularly resilient defense force, or for dangerous assaults, the 16th is, in the hands of a good leader, a powerful asset. It is also, to the dismay of their mostly Han’san men, under the leadership of a Strelitz Colonel, like nearly all Unathi Regiments. The very first Colonel leading the 16th Unathi Regiment was prone to send his men into excessively dangerous missions with little if any care for their survival. With Unathi complaints met by more Strelitz men, it took two years for the 16th leadership to be properly replaced, only by then the regiment had earned a reputation for being regularly sent on suicide missions, thus earning the nickname of “Suicide Scales”. Even under newer leadership, the 16th is generally the regiment chosen for the most hazardous of missions thanks to their experience. Though usually not as excessively high as they used to be under the leadership of their first Colonel, casualties are often higher than in most other Dominian Regiments, Unathi or otherwise, yet this rarely if ever, is enough to prevent these sinta to achieve victory. Human Army officers assigned to the 16th are known to subject it to brutal standards of discipline which they cite as necessary to ensure it will perform to the highest standards of the Army during its dangerous assaults.

	A rifle seemingly from another era, the '''Moroz Pattern Marksman’s Rifle, Year of 2408, Second Revision (MPMR-08/2)''', is an incredibly precisely-machined sharpshooting rifle based upon hunting rifles in fashion with the Empire’s Primaries intended for use by specialist units. The MPMR-08/02 uses a mechanism rarely seen anywhere in the armies of the Spur outside of Adhomai: a straight-pull bolt which must be worked after every shot by a trained shooter. Despite, or perhaps due to, this grossly antiquated mechanism the rifle’s stress-machined parts and high quality demanded — with ninety of every hundred barrels rejected — have given it a peerless reputation for accuracy and precision. In the hands of a trained sniper, such as a member of the Lyodic Rifles, the 08 is capable of drilling a hole through a coin at a kilometer. It is, despite the concerns of House Strelitz, one of the few Imperial Army weapons readily exported beyond Dominian borders, and many competition shooters swear by it.

			'''The Sinta of the Imperial Army, may they be in the many Unathi Regiments, or part of the few that can be found in the Group, all can use most of the standard imperial equipment without much issue despite their size and clawed hands, even if it’s not rare to see them make minor modifications to their gear. The Moroz Pattern “Whipcrack” Direct-Fire Grenade Launcher, Year of 2455, Second Revision (MPDGL-55/2) was however designed with Unathi use in mind. Although the project started out as purely morozi, it did not get the funds it required until Kasz Han’san, Chief Minister of Unathi affairs lobbied for its production. The Whipcrack (named after its signature firing sound) is a semi-automatic grenade launcher, though the grenades it fires are substantially smaller than most other launchers’, allowing the weapon to fire them further and with surprising accuracy, to the point where some would rather refer to the weapon as a canon rather than an actual grenade launcher. The numerous choices of rounds allow the Whipcrack to fill a variety of roles, from suppressive fire to anti-armor functions, utility roles, anti-personnel (through the use of infamous “grenaille” rounds), EMP, and more. Designed to fit the mainly infantry-based Unathi Regiments and their shock-and-awe doctrine, the Whipcrack can still be used by Humans without issues and has proved particularly popular in some of the Group’s squads thanks to its simplicity and reliability.'''

	A specialized infantry regiment intended to fight in the harshest arctic climates, the '''Lyodic Rifles''' are prized by the Imperial Army for their marksmanship and ability to rapidly travel on foot. Recruited entirely from the [[Moroz#The Lyodii\|Lyodii of Moroz]], the regiment has acquired something of a reputation for eccentric behavior as most members of it practice borderline-heretical Lyodic Tribunalism which greatly alters the seventh edict’s interpretation.. The Lyodii of the regiment are de facto under the protection of House Strelitz, which shields them from the prying eyes of House Caladius and the myriad Tribunalist staff attached to the Army. The regiment is the only in the Imperial Army to employ priestesses not certified by the Holy Tribunal as its religious staff are instead drawn from Lyodii shamans. Officers of the Lyodic rifles, up to the regimental commander, are exclusively Lyodii as the Army believes they are the best fit for themselves and few House Strelitz nobles wish to be seen as the commander of a regiment of “backwards savages.” The regimental commander, prior to their ascension to command, is required by tradition to travel to the northern pole of Moroz to earn the regiment’s respect. Most officers typically adorn themselves with traditional Lyodic fetishes to mark their rank.

	The largest IFC bomber command by far is '''Imperial Strategic Bomber Command — Fisanduhian Province''' (ISBC-FP). Despite, or perhaps due to, its lengthy official title ISBC-FP is more commonly known as the “Bombs Away Barony,” due to its propensity for bombing runs and the high number of Primaries in its upper ranks. Based out of Strelitz’s Rest and equipped with the feared ZIA-18 “Vampire” strategic bomber and a significant helicopter fleet which has become vital for supply in the mountainous region, the Barony is one of the Empire’s main instruments of strategic suppression in the rebellious province. Primaries assigned to the Barony are, due to the greater prestige of fighter piloting, often from non-great houses. Despite this they are responsible for a stunningly important duty, and many minor noble families strive to have a relative assigned to it. The Secondaries and Ma’zals who serve under them, and do the real work, fly more missions than any other IFC unit in the Spur and are often regarded as elite within the IFC. Yet despite this elite status they are not nobles, and are often held back from higher ranks simply due to their lack of titles and blue blood.

	Though smaller and less prestigious than its Morozian counterpart '''Imperial Strategic Bomber Command – Viceroyality of Sun Reach''' (ISBC-VSR) has served a vital role in ongoing Imperial efforts to control the planet, and its He3 reserves, since its conquest in 2422. ISBC-VSR is, unlike its counterpart in Fisanduh, less dominated by Primaries and more dominated by Secondaries who hope to become Primaries through ennobling. Thanks to the strategic importance of Sun Reach’s Helium-3 reserves the staff of ISBC-VSR fly a much wider variety of missions than their Fisansuhian counterparts, and their airfields are round-the-clock hubs of activity on the planet. Helicopter sorties, which are vital in resupplying scattered Imperial Army bases, are commonly seen departing from its fields. The staff of ISBC-VSR, due to primarily being non-Primaries, are often looked down upon by their Barony counterparts, but are treasured by the Imperial Army units responsible for ensuring Imperial control of the planet.

	Situated in the frozen taiga of the [[Moroz#Lyod\|Southern Lyod]] far from prying eyes is the '''Imperial Missile Research Institute''' (IMRI), a secretive facility affiliated with the IFC and guarded by the Imperial Army. Little is known regarding the internal workings of the facility as the surrounding area is heavily restricted, but it is known to be mostly the domain of House Zhao and the military Count in charge of the IMRI has historically been a Zhao themselves or a house affiliate. The missiles designed here are tested by being shot into the polar Lyod, which the IMRI stands next to, despite protestations of the Lyodii. Successful producers of the IMRI are used across the Empire and feature prominently in both the IFC and the Imperial Fleet.
