Eriaduan Military

The Eriaduan Military was the authorized enforcement arm of the Eriaduan Empire. It was responsible for carrying out military operations throughout the Outer Rim Territories under Eriaduan control as well as maintaining order on Eriaduan member worlds, governorships, colonies, and protectorates. Its soldiers followed a strict code of conduct. The military itself was under the direct control of Eriaduan High Command.

Organization
The Eriaduan Military was essentially a massive militia made up of civilian volunteers, and the organization had no formal rank structure, so descriptive titles like “commander”, “captain” and positional titles were used in place of actual ranks.

The Eriaduan forces were divided into three principal branches, each with a specialized task. The Land Attack Force was used for ground assaults. The Space Attack Force was responsible for space operations, the protection of space lanes, and the transportation of all LAF troops. The Mobile Assault Force not only acted as an auxiliary force but the military’s assorted intelligence services, research projects, resource-mining operations, and Special Forces teams fell under the umbrella of the MAF. Since membership was made up of only the elite, its forces were more than a match for the numerically superior New Galactic Empire.

Branches of the Eriaduan Military included:
 * Land Attack Force
 * Space Attack Force
 * Mobile Assault Force

The Eriaduan Military also had ties to the Secret Police, though it wasn’t a branch.

Troops
The Eriaduan Empire maintained a wide range of soldiers in their arsenal. Viper Battle Android Troopers or Viper B.A.T.s, the most common, were the backbone of the Imperial military, serving as the Empire’s infantry forces. There were also specialized versions, such as Infiltrator BATs, that were designed for specific tasks and assignments. The Empire only maintains battle droids for use as infantry forces, ship crews, pilots, technicians and most other personnel are men and women. The Empire also maintains an elite force of shock troopers known as the Crimson Guard.

Types of troopers:
 * B.A.T.s
 * Crimson Guard
 * C.L.A.W.S.
 * Snow Serpent
 * Nullifier
 * Night Creeper

Ground vehicles
The majority of their land forces consisted of assorted troop transports to deploy their vast legions of android troops. They also consisted of a large number of Petrie-class land battleships and the much larger Lesseps-class land battleships.

Starfighter Corps
The Eriaduan Starfighter Corps served as a part of the Space Attack Force. It was charged with the sole duty of operating spacecraft, the most notable of which were the New Millennium series of starfighters. While it was an independent service alongside the other branches of the service, it relied on the other branches for security, deployment, and logistics support. The ESC included both Pilots and Marines.
