| The [[Taldryan Army Service]] makes up the largest part of the Taldryan Security Service, and is responsible for ground-based military operations. It's soldiers are ubiquitous in Taldryan territory, all clan members are very familiar with their black and gray uniforms. Organizationally the service is roughly modeled upon the Imperial Army, however in an appropriately simplified manner. The Army is commanded by Surface Marshall [[Travik Korr]], who reports directly to Taldryan's Consul.

| The [[Taldryan Naval Service]] is the powerhouse of the Taldryan Security Service and is responsible for planetary defense, planetary assault, and space superiority combat. The Naval Service functions under its own independent administration with little to no interference from the [[House]] itself. During combat engagements, Jedi members are sometimes used to supplement the highly capable military pilots to help ensure the House's victory. The service is modeled roughly around the [[starwars:Imperial Navy|Imperial '''Navy''']], although a simplified version. The '''Navy''' is commanded by High Admiral [[Tak Vordin]], at the discretion of Taldryan's [[Quaestor]].

| | == History of Taldryan's Armed Forces == |
| | === Taldryan Security Service === |
| | In 22 ABY, Consul [[Kir Katarn]] initiated the first general call to form a military force, unique to [[Taldryan]]. Whereas previously much of the burden of leading conscripted troops, and flying into battle had fallen onto the shoulders of the dark brethren, Katarn envisioned a proper military force. This force would be commanded and controlled by regular soldiers, drawn from local populations, and by luring the best talents he could from around the galaxy. It was Kir's most inspired creation, the Taldryan Intelligence Service, the first such independent intelligence service in the Brotherhood, that would allow Taldryan operatives to identify, and make contact with stellar individual talents, and convince them to serve Taldryan. |

| | Along with the Intelligence Service, Kir oversaw the creation of the Naval, Army, and Logistics services, enabling Taldryan to field, and operate a completely independent armed forces, that would answer only to Taldryan. Despite the growing trust between Taldryan and the Dark Council, Kir ensured that if ever there were a time when Taldryan was abandoned by her allies, she would not be defenseless. As the years wore on, and Taldryan's influence and power began to wane, the Security Service began to fall into disrepute. With the casual conveyance of Dark Jedi flitting into the ranks, and collecting ranks, and inserting themselves into power over the regular forces, the service's command structures became bloated with ceremonial appointees and bureaucrats. |

| | === Taldryan Expansionary Force === |
| | In 36 ABY, in an effort to cut down the institutional rot, and once again organize Taldryan's military into a formidable force, Quaestor [[Rian Aslar]] decided to bring about a change in the Taldryan Military. He appointed long standing Taldryan veteran, and former Admiral of the [[Emperor's Hammer]] [[Keirdagh Taldrya Cantor|Keirdagh Cantor]] to revamp and modernize the forces available to Taldryan. Following the devastating losses suffered in the Brotherhood by the Horizon's Plague, and the attack of two crazed former [[Grand Master|Grand Masters]], it became increasingly necessary to be able to field a well trained, and independent force, devoid of undue influence from the Jedi whom it served. |

In these special circumstances, it is customary for Dark Jedi members to be granted a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brevet_(military) Brevet rank], one rank below that of the Unit Commander to which they are attached, so that they may lend their expertise to the Unit, but not bog down well drilled troops with an inexperienced and unfamiliar commander. |

|
| The intelligence-gathering arm of Taldryan's military, the [[Taldryan Intelligence Service]] is responsible for keeping the [[House]]'s leaders informed on Brotherhood- and galaxy-wide developments. The Intelligence Service is divided into two divisions, Operations and Analysis. The Operations Division agents include the covert operators sent to infiltrate organizations, surveillance agents, interrogators, and inside informers who obtain the raw intelligence. The Analysis Division gathers the raw intelligence coming from the field, sorts and interprets it, and then determines how it fits into the bigger picture. The entire Service is overseen by the Executive Committee, which is made up of four members who are responsible for the administration of the entire Intelligence Service.

|
| The Taldryan Logistics Service is responsible for managing the flow of required resources to the places they are needed to support Taldryan's military operations. Military academies teach that maintaining a secure supply line is perhaps the most vital element of military strategy. The Logistics service keeps the soldiers and equipment of the entire Security Service fully supplied and prepared for action. The Logistics service is made up of trained officers and recruits from across Taldryan's territory, who work with house equipment and pair with private business to ensure the supply of Taldryan's combat units. The Logistics Service shares it's rank system with the Army Service, and is commanded by a High General.

|
| |
| The [[Consul]] will, from time to time, call a meeting of the War Council. This group consists of the [[Consul]], [[Proconsul]], [[Quaestor|Quaestors]], senior non-Jedi military officers, and any other advisors the [[Consul]] chooses to invite. In peacetime the Council sets strategic priorities for the [[Clan]], and in wartime it guides the progress of the Clan's forces in each theater of war.

|
| |
| == Jedi/Military Relationship ==
| |
| [[Taldryan]]'s military functions completely independent of Dark Jedi administration or leadership, with the sole exception of the [[Consul]]. While initially designed and run by the Clan summit, the military has grown into its own, with senior ranking officers guiding it. However, this independent structure leads to frequent misunderstandings between the Dark Jedi of [[Taldryan]], and the career officers of the military. This Jedi/Military relationship now has an official explanation:
| |
|
| |
| === Guidelines ===
| |
|
| |
| *The [[Consul]] is the commander-in-chief and retains overall command
| |
|
| |
| *The [[Proconsul]] derives second-in-command authority from his position as Consul's assistant, and his orders can be superseded by the Consul
| |
|
| |
| *The [[Quaestor]]'s have overall command of the garrisons stationed on their home planets, as long as those garrisons remain at home. If deployed, they are under the Consul's direction and the ranking military officer's command.
| |
|
| |
| *All other Dark Jedi have no official command position unless expressly granted by the [[Consul]], and cannot supersede the orders of military officers to their troops.
| |
|
| |
| *The Consul, Proconsul, and Quaestors retain command of all Dark Jedi at all times, even if they are assigned to military units
| |
|
| |
|
| While the Consul, Proconsul, and Quaestors retain overall command of troops, only the Consul is expected to routinely give orders. Most military decisions should be left to the ranking non-Jedi military commander on scene.
| | ==== Taldryan Army ==== |
| | {{main|Taldryan Army}} |
|
| |
|
| === In Battle ===
| | Quick blurb about the New Taldryan Army and it's manpower |
|
| |
| The majority of conflicts the [[Clan]] enters are small in scale, and the career officers of the Clan military have the experience and manpower to handle them effectively. On the occasions when the Clan's Dark Jedi are called out to assist in battle ([[Rite of Supremacy|Rites of Supremacy]], [[Great Jedi War|Great Jedi Wars]], other large conflicts), most will merely serve in squads beside the clan's soldiers, and fall under indirect command of its officers. That is, they should follow the instructions of the officers unless their Jedi senses call them to another task of greater importance.
| |
|
| |
| Those Dark Jedi who do not serve on the front lines may either be called upon to fill support positions, or may be placed in special command positions by the [[Consul]]. These command positions are generally senior to or in-tandem with high ranking non-Jedi officers. Usually they cover the entire operational theater, and ensure the goals of Clan [[Taldryan]] are met.
| |
|
| |
| Command of Taldryan's navy functions in the same manner as it's ground forces. In the past, many summit members had claimed command of individual ships or small battle groups, which led to disjointed command and inefficient use of both military and Jedi resources. Now the fleet is split into various battle groups by the Consul, with each group falling under the command of a non-Jedi Admiral and a Dark Jedi appointed by the [[Consul]]. While the Dark Jedi retains official command, they work with the non-Jedi naval officers.
| |
|
| |
| There are also several special configurations that can be used by the Consul to complete specific tasks. The two most common units are a mixed Special Forces [[starwars:Squad|Squad]], and an all-Jedi squad. The mixed squad contains both non-Jedi special forces soldiers and Dark Jedi from [[Taldryan]]. The all Jedi squad is used in very important situations, or to hunt down high profile Dark Jedi targets.

The Taldryan Defense Force is the unified military branches of Clan Taldryan. This unified institution consists of the newly reorganized Taldryan Navy and Taldryan Army. The Defense Force is overseen by the Taldryan Strategic Operations Council, chaired by the reigning leader of Taldryan Ood Bnar and the War Marshall Lee Starr. It was previously the Taldryan Expansionary Forces, and Taldryan Security Service before that. When Taldryan's forces were decimated and wiped out by Jac Cotelin, the forces were reorganized into their current incarnation.
