Branches of Taldryan's Military

Taldryan Navy

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, and the Taldryan Marine Corps. Both of these units are exist within the Navy's ranks, but have their own command structure and chain of command.

The Navy is represented within TalSOC by the Admiral of the Fleet PLACEHOLDER, and is commanded in it's day to day functions by High Admiral Tak Vordin.

The Taldryan Intelligence Directorate was the first of it's kind within the Dark Brotherhood. The Directorate is responsible for keeping Taldryan's Leaders, both Military and Jedi, appraised of developments within the Brotherhood and the galaxy at large. The Directorate is divided into three divisions, TalSIG: The Signals Intelligence Division; focusing on observing, intercepting and analyzing communications from throughout the galaxy and Taldryan's own agents. TalSEC: The Counter-Intelligence and Domestic Security Division; focusing on fereting out enemy infiltrations and seditionists within our borders. And finally TalSIS: The Secret Intelligence Service; focusing on infiltrating enemy organizations within the Brotherhood, various pirate and criminal organizations, and galactic governments.

The Intelligence Directorate is represented within TalSOC by the Director of Intelligence, and the Deputy Director's of both the Counter-Intelligence, and Intelligence Divisions.

Taldryan Quartermaster Corps

The old adage that an Army runs on it's stomach is as true now, as anywhere in history. The Quartermaster Corps is Taldryan's answer to that universal truth; ensuring that the flow of required resources and supplies to our troops is maintained, and that our fighting troops have access to the best possible equipment that money can buy. The Quartermaster Corps 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.
