The Army of the Iron Throne was the command authority for all ground forces in service to the Armed Forces of the Iron Throne. The primary organizational element under the Army was the 13th Starborne Division which served as the instrument of the Dark Council and Grand Master when ground-side combat operations were required. It was a light, yet lethal force designed to meet and overcome the threats and challenges presented in a hostile galactic environment.
The division consisted of approximately 211 armored vehicles, supporting equipment and some 20,000 personnel.
History
In 27 ABY, following the events of the Eighth Great Jedi War and subsequent loss of the Antei System, the Dark Council sought the creation of a rapidly deployable, multi-mission ground force to compliment the capabilities of the new fleet. Recruiting from former Imperial Remnant military personnel loyal to the Brotherhood, the framework was laid down for the 13th Starborne Division. Manning for the unit was further swelled by dispossessed veterans of defeated militaries from various worlds fallen to the Yuuzhan Vong.
The 13th currently serves on active fleet duty with Joint Task Force Rancor and the forces of the Navy of the Iron Throne under the authority of the Grand Master and Dark Council.
Organization
The 13th was configured as a rapid deployment force that consisted of five legionary combat teams of infantry, armor, combat support, and aerospace assault elements capable of conducting self-sustaining operations in varied terrain for extended periods of time across the galaxy. Each legion was directly supported by one fleet of the Dark Brotherhood Navy under the organization of Joint Task Force Rancor which provided mobility, orbital fire-support, and close air-support in the facilitation of planetary assault and other ground-side operations.
Founded on the Legionary Combat Team design, each legion was a combined-arms force of infantry, armor, artillery, and air mobility offering unparalleled versatility in any battle space.
The division’s own combat aerospace legion provided air mobility and its subordinate elements were cross-attached to naval vessels throughout the fleet.
The 13th was typically commanded by a Major General with supporting legions each being commanded by a Colonel or Brigadier General and assisted by a Lt. Colonel. The 13th’s current command staff is:
Commanding Officer: Major General Yosk Faylen
Assistant Division Commander (Maneuver): Brigadier General Ekir Tocdor
Assistant Division Commander (Support): Colonel Honcal Jemas
Command Sergeant Major: Command Sergeant Major Melat Ordca
- Rank structure within the Iron Throne ground forces was loosley based on that of the former Galactic Empire’s Imperial rank system.
