[INFORMATION] Structure of the Military

[EmKay]

THE CONFEDERACY OF INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS​

MILITARY STRUCTURE​

​

THE KNIGHTS OBSIDIAN
The Knights Obsidian are the primary Force User branch of the military. They have their special permissions and resources, due to their nature as Force Users, but they are given little special treatment beyond that. They are an elite, but they are not pandered over.

Ranks:

• Lord Commander
• Master (Equal to General/Admiral)
• Knight (Equal to Commander/Captain)
• Cadet (Equal to Sergeant/Lieutenant)

THE CONFEDERATE ARMY
The Confederate Army (or simply the Army), is the main, non-Force soldier unit of the CIS. It should be the home of all non-Force User characters that are not interested in fleeting or one of the Special Forces.

Ranks:

• Grand Marshall
• General
• Commander
• Sergeant

THE CONFEDERATE NAVY
The Confederate Navy (or simply the Navy) is the home of all those interested in commanding ships and waging space war. Obsidian Knights may take control over a ship if necessary, however they must answer to the Navy rank of their equal due to specialisation.

Ranks:

• Fleet Admiral
• Admiral
• Captain
• Lieutenant

​

SPECIAL FORCES​

Since there are some members who are more specialised in certain tasks than the three standard branches of the CIS Military, there are two primary special divisions. They have no internal ranking structure, but they do have a leader who reports to the Advisory Council.​

​

THE MEDICAL CORPS
The Medical Corps (or MediCorps) is open to all members of the CIS interested in specialising in healing and first aid. From Force healers to field medics, this group puts tending to others before their other duties.
Leadership: Commander of the Medical Corps

THE SPY NETWORK
The Spy Network (or SpyNet) is open to all members of the CIS interested in specialising in espionage, infiltration, and covert informational operations. Force Users and Non-Force Users alike are welcome, and for all IC intents and purposes, they do not exist.

Ranks:

• Spymaster
• Minister
• Senior Agent
• Agent

THE ADVISORY COUNCIL AND THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF​

The Advisory Council is the grouping of all leaders of the Confederate Military, and the Vicelord of the Confederacy, gathered together to discuss matters if importance and to perform roll call checks upon their divisions to gauge the current status of the Confederacy. They convene every once a month to discuss matters in times of peace, and in times of conflict they convene as frequently as necessary to ensure facilitation of communications and termination of hostilities. Roll calls should be performed at least once every two months.​

​

The Commander-in-Chief
The Commander-in-Chief of the Confederate Military is more commonly known as the CIS Vicelord. As head of the faction, the Vicelord is in command of the military, and it is important for the Commander-in-Chief to attend the Advisory Council meetings in order to ensure the military is remaining true to the spirit of the CIS.

Membership of the Advisory Council:

• The Lord Commander of the Knights Obsidian
• The Grand Marshall of the Confederate Army
• The Fleet Admiral of the Confederate Navy
• The Commander of the Medical Corps
• The Spy Master
• The Viceroy of the Confederacy of Independent Systems (a.k.a. The Commander-in-Chief of the Confederate Military)
