Imperial Legion of Kythira

The Imperial Legion of Kythira, often shortened to Imperial Legion, is a professional armed force. Unlike the bulk of the Kythiran military, which consists of temporary provincial levies raised by the High Lords, the Imperial Legion is a permanent standing force loyal only to the Crown. In peacetime, the Legion is primarily tasked with law enforcement and the protection of strategic assets. It's headquarters are at Bear Island.

Unit specialisations

The Imperial Legion is divided into two legions.

Ranks

Formal ranks

These ranks decide command hierarchy.

Imperial Legate

There is only one Imperial Legate, and that is the supreme commander of the Imperial Legion. The Imperial Legate commands their legion of choice at the headquarters and is tasked with maintaining the overall readiness of the legion as well as directing their subordinate legionary legates.

Legionary Legate

The legionary legate commands a single legion and is tasked with managing their fortress or castle. They exercise authority over a region and have relative autonomy in handling a wide variety of matters.

Lieutenant Tactical Officer

The tactical officer is the right-hand of a legate. In the event that legionary legate is absent or occupied, the tactical officer acts in their name and does whatever their legate commands. Whether that be commanding a patrol, overseeing construction, doing administrative work or something else.

Centurion

A centurion is responsible for a coherent unit of soldiers and is tasked with maintaining their discipline and combat readiness. A cohort is the lowest organisational unit that is typically deployed for regular assignments.

Legionary

A legionary is an individual soldier, generally part of a cohort.

Distinctions of seniority

Additionally, a soldier holds a rank of seniority regardless of position. This is solely based on their service record and performance.
