| The Taldryan Navy is the backbone of the Taldryan Expansionary Force. Given the distances traveled, and the objectives required, no feat of martial strength is even possible without the might of Taldryan's fleet to ensure the safety of the operation. The Navy is responsible for system defense, planetary assault, space superiority as well as transport of our forces, and the interdiction of enemy forces. The Navy's day to day operations function independently of Taldryan as a whole, requiring little to no oversight from TalSOC. The Navy is also the home to the Taldryan Starfighter Corps, an independent but integral part of the Navy's operations.

| Taldryan's Army makes up one of the most significant pieces of the Taldryan Expansionary Forces, being responsible for ground-based military operations, and occupying enemy territory. The Ground forces of Taldryan are generally considered to be the least glamourous of the military branches, but respected as one of the most integral. The Army consists of multiple units divided by their strengths, consisting of infantry, mechanized infantry and reconnaissance Regiments. Taldryan's Army is also home to it's elite Special Forces Battalion: PLACEHOLDERCOOLNAME.

| | The '''Taldryan Defense Force''' is the unified military branches of [[Taldryan|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 {{TalCON}} 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. |

|
| |
|
| 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.

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. |

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. |

| 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.

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. |

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.

Interaction between Dark Jedi and the Military
Taldryan’s military runs as a largely autonomous entity, outside of any influence from its Dark Jedi overseers, with the notable exception of the Dark Jedi serving on as advisers within the Strategic Operations Council. In order to ensure a strict command authority, the rulers of Taldryan decided that the military should act as an added weapon, to work in conjunction with the might of the Dark Jedi who it supported, rather than directly under them.

In these special circumstances, it is customary for Dark Jedi members to be granted a 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.
