Faction Admin - The Galactic Republic
Welcome aboard to one the of most iconic armed forces in fiction and in-verse one of the greatest to have subjugated the galaxy.
The Galactic Empire has gone through many iterations and successor states, dozens of claimants to the glory that was held so long ago.
No matter which government though rises there is and has always been the classic look and strength of the Storm Troopers, the Star Destroyers of the star fleet.
This forum is the general OOC forum for the Imperial Military where everything pertaining to it can be discussed. From thread planning to character development ideas and just general chit chat of blowing up teddy bears.
A few goals I have in mind for the military are as follows
I have a few threads cooked up to help reestablish some basic structuring to this forum and the Imperial Navy and Army Subforums.
This is what I have so far. Let me know what you think! Input is appreciated. Lets keep marching forward for the Glory of the Empire!

A few goals I have in mind for the military are as follows
- Make a new roster as a quick reference for people to use to help find other people interested in threading a military story
- Make a guide thread to encourage development of military Units from the humble storm trooper squad to a Victory III to use in scale with missions, skirmishing, dominions, invasions, and rping in general!
- Consolidate the guides and present resources to help with military rping!

Imperial Storm Corp
The Storm Corp of the Galactic Empire is the a ground, air, space, and aquatic based force which closely operates in conjunction with the Imperial Navy.
History of the Corp
There have been many claimants and pretenders to the Galactic Empire’s government. From successor states to failed governments incapable of upholding the Imperial Ideology. Through it all the Storm Trooper has been one of the most resilient and recognizable force in the galaxy. Many of these fine warriors have turned to the One Sith becoming less than pawns for the fodder of war. However the Galactic Empire has always been there. From the shadows of its former glory the staunch few Imperialists who remain loyal not the ideals of the Sith but to the Imperial Struggle that was laid down by the Emperor Palpatine oh so long ago. Under the guidance and collapse of many warlords and claimants to the banner the Storm Trooper has fought valiantly under the rule of Palpatine to the Dynasty of the Fels and beyond. In recent years since the passing of Gulag Plague there have been a number of factions in the galaxy who have stood up and tried to bring peace and order to what is chaos and discord in a galaxy of opportunists and corruption.
The Storm Trooper has been at every battle, every struggle, and has raised the flag of victory more than once over these last few decades. Still though the galaxy is wrought with division and it is this supreme fighting force which has fought under the regimes of Atrisian Monarch’s, Fel Monarchs, Warlords and pretenders, it is the Storm Trooper who has brought the wrath of the Empire down upon those who seek nothing more to allow endless cycle of war to continue.
It is now the time once more for the call to help raise the flag of victory across every world and it is the Storm Corp, the elite fighting force of the Imperial Military that shall do so over the corpses of those who would oppose peace, order, and security.
Organization
As of now the present organization has the Storm Corp functioning as the primary ground fighting force and operates from being forward deployed as part of the Imperial Navy.

Specialization
Storm Troopers are famous for their adaptability to any situation. Specialization begins at Battalion level where a battalion may have a number of its troopers or all of its troops trained in a specific specialization.
Special Operations Command
The Storm Commandos are administratively part of their own legion, but are broken down and attached to an operating force and scaled appropriately to the Commanders needs and requirements of the mission at hand.
They are the Special Forces of the Storm Corp and perform missions that the regular forces are not suited to perform. Storm Commandos are the best of the best and are trained to perform covert assaults, precision strikes, and sabotage operations against enemy forces. More importantly they are capable of operating deep behind enemy lines. This specialized command works closely with their parent branch the Storm Corp and is often part of Imperial Intelligence operations working with their operatives.
Storm Commandos are highly trained in numerous vehicles especially the TIE Hunter designed for the Commandos as a space superiority fighter.
