The primary organizational element under the Army of the Iron Throne is the 13th Starborne Division which serves as the instrument of the Dark Council and Grand Master when ground-side combat operations are required. It is a light, yet lethal force designed to meet and overcome the threats and challenges presented in a hostile galactic environment.
The division consists of approximately 211 armored vehicles, supporting equipment and some 20,000 personnel.
History
Motto: “There Is No Doubt”
In 27ABY, 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 is currently configured as a rapid deployment force consisting 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 is directly supported by one fleet of the Dark Brotherhood Navy under the organization of Joint Task Force Rancor which provides 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 is 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 provides air mobility and its subordinate elements are cross-attached to naval vessels throughout the fleet.
The 13th is 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 is based on that of the former Galactic Empire’s Imperial rank system.
