Imperial Scholae Guard: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:50, 21 April 2007

History

The Legions of Scholae Palatinae, the armed forces of the Clan, are the most advanced soldiers of the Cocytus System. The soldiers, or Stormtroopers, are created and trained in the same mold as their predecessors. Very few military powers can rival their vast experience, ability and potential in the field of battle. It is the established military prowess of these 'grunts' that have solidified Clan Scholae Palatinae's claim as one of the militant pillars of the Dark Brotherhood.

History is not entirely accurate, as the founder of the Clan has long since embarked on a journey with an end unknown, but scrolls seemingly indicate a large deposit of soldiers were granted by the Emperor Palpatine to a devoted taskforce of guardians: Scholae Palatinae (The Palace Guard). These warriors were instituted to act as mystic extensions of the Dark Lord of the Sith. Additionally, they were tasked not only with executing his will, but safeguarding the Dark Lord. So, in his divine wisdom, he entrusted his Sentinels with the authority to command. With his downfall, upon the planet Byss, these soldiers swore fealty to the Clan - becoming their personal guardians... the extension of Scholae Palatinae's will.

With their departure from dark lands, they became a solidified House within the Emperor's Hammer; acting as the Guardians of the Grand Master. However, the Dark Brotherhood broke away from the oppresive Emperor's Hammer - thus, the defenders of the Grand Master sought out a new home. Making peace within the Cocytus System, on the planet Judecca, where the Armed Forces have continually added to their elements, both Soldiers and Officers. They are the military backbone of the Clan... they are the Legions of Scholae Palatinae.

Structure & Ranks

Structure

The command structure, or element breakdown, of the Legions of Scholae Palatinae complies with Imperial Armed Forces criteria. With a single exception, the term battalion is instead replaced with the Royal Title of Legion. As such, the collective identity of the entire Clan Armed Forces falls under the official title: Legions of Scholae Palatinae.

Because the Army is made of such a large number of Soldiers, it must be organized into units, each with its own leaders and reporting structure. Each unit, whether it’s a squad or division, was created to respond to any mission, regardless of size or complexity.

Element	Composition	Minimum Rank (Officer)
Brigade	2 or more Regiments	General
Regiment	2 or more Legions	Lt. Colonel
Legion	3 to 4 Companies	Major
Company	3 to 4 Platoons	Captain
Platoon	3 to 4 Squads	Lieutenant
Squad	8 to 12 Troops	Sergeant

Ranks

Officers

Commissioned Officers are the managers, problem-solvers, key influencers and planners who lead Enlisted Soldiers in all situations. They have the skills, the training, and the character needed to inspire and encourage others. They embrace and embody the Core Army Values and apply them to every decision they make and every action they take. An Officer’s rank can range from Officer Candidate to Surface Marshal.
