Imperial Army (TN)

The Imperial Army was the ground force of the Galactic Empire's military.

Establishment
It was formed from the Galactic Federation Army when Beorthram Althmark declared himself and founded the Empire. Although the Federation military allowed anyone to rise through the ranks with merit, the Empire's land and naval forces soon became dominated by an aristocratic officer corps, lording over commoners who served as the enlisted personnel. The Imperial Army received slightly more funding than the Imperial Fleet, and the two branches developed an intense rivalry. Nonetheless, the Imperial army and navy were able to quell a number of uprisings and rebellions during the early years of the Althmark dynasty.
