General Information
The Imperial Legion, also known as the Imperial armed forces or Imperial Service, is the armed forces of the Argonath Imperial Party, and successor to the Argonath Imperial Party Paramilitary Group (AIPPG).
It is responsible for carrying out paramilitary operations throughout Argonath as well as maintaining order on Argonath.
Because the current Law Enforcement agencies are ineffective at that, the Imperial Legion is fighting its own effective fight to restore peace and unity in the Argonathian Society.
The Imperial Legion is a massive organization, with its ranks growing every minute to incorporate more soldiers willing to fight to turn Argonath into a secure, peaceful and stable society.
Its ranks is filled with numerous regular Legion soldiers, Navy and Aviation crew, and a sizable force of stormtroopers.
The Imperial Legion is under the direct control of Imperial High Command.
The Chairman(Playerismus) acts as the Commander-in-Chief of the Legion.
The next highest rank is that of the Supreme Commander (Salmonella).
The individual who holds this title has complete control over the Imperial Legion and answers only to the Chairman.
In the absence of an official Chairman, the Supreme Commander becomes the
de-facto leader of the Argonath Imperial Party.
The Imperial Legion is not only a physical superpower, but a mental one as well. Salmonella's stormtrooper division, known as
Salmonella's Fist, inspires security in every Argonathian citizen who fears for his life when proudly walking in the streets of Argonath.
History
The Imperial Legion formed as a realignment of its predecessor, the Argonath Imperial Party Paramilitary Group (AIPPG).
Originally formed when Chairman Playerismus published the Declaration of his New Order, the Imperial Legion saw a massive influx of people wishing to enlist with them.
Following AIP's gradual popularity, the AIPPG soldiers were given new armor and weapons, in order to help them with their dangerous job of instating peace and unity within Argonath.
Playerismus decided to expand the Legion, diversifying its members and instating many new ranks and divisions, which ensured the Legion's smoother and more effective operation.
Organization

Headquarters
The Imperial Legion's Commander-in-Chief is Chairman Anthony Playerismus.
However, its highest organizational body is the Imperial High Command, which oversees the highest levels of the three primary branches of the Imperial Legion:
Ordnance Command, Legionnaire Command, and Stormtrooper Command, alongside all support branches of the Imperial Legion.
High Command's role is to plan and coordinate the proper combination of ground, air, naval and special operation forces to achieve the mission objective.
High Command is also responsible for synchronizing military efforts with the Commission for the Instatement of the New Order, Imperial Intelligence, the Imperial Security Bureau, and other interparty partners.
Although not actually part of Imperial High Command, the Headquarters Command is a similar high position that answers to Imperial High Command, and specifically heads the Headquarters Operations branch, which was formed by Imperial Leader Salvatore Monella upon the complete acquiry of the Imperial Legion Headquarters.
Administrative Organization
Imperial High Command has authority over three branches and seven support divisions.
The Imperial Ordnance is the Empire's Vehicular force and projects power through capital vehicles such as the
Imperial-class Shamal, and controls the Legion's Dodo's through the Aviation Corps.
The Imperial Legionnaires are responsible for restoring the peace and order in the streets of Argonath, a task in which Law Enforcement currently is rather ineffective at, due to its poor management and in-party corruption.
The Stormtrooper Corps are the elite of the Imperial Legion, loyal only to Playerismus, and control AIP's distinctive, white-armored Stormtroopers, and are responsible for the Legion's front lines, shock action, and ensuring the loyalty of crews aboard the Imperial Vehicles.
The seven support divisions of the Imperial Legion are the Imperial Department of Military Research, the Imperial Diplomatic Corps, the Imperial Survey Corps, the Imperial Exploration Corps, the Imperial Surgical, and the Imperial Police.
IDMR is the military's research and development branch for new vehicles, armaments and technology.
The Diplomatic Corps negotiate with criminal organizations with the aim of dissolving them without the use of force.
The Engineering Corps are tasked with constructing strategic structures like garrisons, ore mines, power generators and Imperial buildings.
The Exploration and Survey Corps is attached to the Imperial Ordnance and is used to explore and study Argonath.
The Surgical Corps are AIP's medical branch and are also used to develop new medical technologies.
Finally, the Paramilitary Police ensures discipline in the ranks.
Other branches of unspecified relationship to the main ten organizations are the Imperial Department of Munitions Resource Development, Imperial Supply, Imperial Transport, the Internal Safeguards Division, the Imperial Medical Research Division, and the Imperial Royal Guard.
Although technically not actual branches with the Imperial Legion, the Department of Public Works and Department of Exploration have several of its funds streamlined to fund the development of the Legion's HQ, and top-secret research into Vehicular development.
The Imperial Legion is governed by various regulations. Imperial Legion personnel follows and is disciplined under the Imperial Legion Law.
One regulation is that, the moment an executive vehicle (such as the Broadway) turns its engine off, all personnel within the area is to stand at attention.
One specific set of codes is Section 12-C, which defines capital offenses, which include but are not limited to from incitement to mutiny, participation in mutiny, concealing mutineers or evidence of mutiny or planned mutiny and concealing saboteurs or evidence of sabotage or planned sabotage.
Tactical Organization
AIP's strategy is described in the Salmonella Doctrine promulgated by Imperial Leader Salvatore Monella.
Under the Salmonella Doctrine, the AIP's main tactical units were the Oversectors, which consolidates numerous smaller sectors to enable paramilitary operations to run smoothly.
Individual sectors are controlled by Moffs and the Oversectors by Grand Moffs, which have control over all paramilitary assets in their sector. The current San Andreas Grand Moff is Rapture Corleone.
Personnel

SpecializationsMembers of the Imperial Legion are all Argonathian Citizens.
Official Imperial policy does not accept immigrants in their ranks, except only on rare occasions.
AIP uses many foot soldiers to protect the Argonathian Citizens.
The Stormtroopers are the backbone of the Imperial Legion, serving as AIP's shock troops, much like many of them did back in AIPPG.
Some Stormtroopers are veterans left from the AIPPG, but Chairman Playerismus decided to start recruiting more openly.
There are also specialized versions, such as Dark Troopers and Snowtroopers, that are tasked with specific goals as well as to work in specific environments.
Other specializatioins include the Imperial Drivers who drive AIP's vehicles and armored vehicles, the Imperial Legionnaires who are by far the most common soldiers in the Legion, the Ordnance's Handlers, the Airforce's Pilots of the Aviary Corps, Imperial Marines, specialized stormtroopers trained for indoors operations, and the Imperial Paratroopers.
Imperial Officers hold common appointments over vehicles, troops and military units.
Such men tend to originate from the Cities most commonly. Officers are characterized by those values that make a good Argonathian, and their will to server their country.
The most senior Officers in the Imperial Legion are the Grand Admirals, a cadre of strategists, researches and New Order partisans appointed by Playerismus.
Called, the Elite Circle, they are assembled to be a leadership cadre for the entire Imperial Legion.
Training
The Imperial Legion took over the ancient system of academies that had trained personnel of the AIPPG.
Recruiters attend Argonath's colleges, and the most promising graduates are offered advanced training in the Imperial Academy, based in Las Venturas.
The Army Officer Training Academy similarly takes in prospective soldiers, and the best cadets might be assigned more prestigious ranks.
Ranks
Officer ranks within the Imperial Legion is denoted by a specific combination of different armor and color combinations.
The Legion divides rank into
Position, Line rank, and Specialist rank.
Position refers to an officer's current assignment on a post or unit as opposed to permanent rank, and includes the honorary titles of High Admiral and Peacekeeper of the Empire, usually granted to Grand Moffs, Grand Admirals and Grand Generals.
Line ranks are permanent ranks held by those who command vehicles or Legion Units.
They are very few officers with permanent line ranks above that of Ordnance Senior Captain or Legion Colonel.
Specialist rank is held by those in the technical branches and broadly mirror the line ranks of the Imperial Legion.
Specialists promoted above the rank of General will be promoted into the line ranks but will receive honorary titles related to their branch.
