Suggestion of Military

[Tobias Dracks]

So I have been working on an idea that would be rather interesting for the Faction. A way for our forces to be special little bees and our own little flavor instead of uniform units.

-- Since we are bringing the idea of Nobility around and access to our own Domains. We could bring with it the idea of Feudalism and Cast Systems with it as well.

-- Nobles who have their own Domains can raise their own Privet Armies and Navies with their own needs and requirements. Wealthy Worlds can have unformed perfect soldiers while poorer worlds can look more like raiders. Each Dominon could be special in their own forces and we can work with outside companies to arm these forces. Nobles could also create their own cast systems if they want.

-- Their will be no national military forces except the Sons of Ession who are more of the Imperial Guards of this Imperium. For an army to be assembled, the Nobles must agree to follow the Imerator or other nobles.

I just think this could be a cool idea and make the Imperium more colorful with the units and soldiers we can all create. It also does not allow the standardized armor that we all would be accustomed to. Make contracts with companies, buy your own and create units that are special to a certain noble.

Let me know what you think.

[member="Tobias Dracks"] Personally I like the idea. It would give the old Galactic Empire/CIC wing of the imperium the ability to retain a certain level of individualism when it comes to ships and armor used rather than having to completely submit to the overall rigid design of one singular look used for the entire imperium. Moreover, it is in general just a unique idea since a majority of factions on here, certainly at least a majority of more well known factions/major factions, all go by typical uniform look for the entire faction.

I could dig a futuristic liege-lord/bannermen concept. Something outside of the usual Republic/Empire/CIS copy-paste.

I'm down for this, and it's more or less what I envisioned with the Imperium, so it works out. I'll see about working on a proper system.

I would like to suggest the Noble Titles being along the lines of the British System, just for convenience.

High Lord - Nobility Elected to the House of Lords for a sector
Duke - Nobility that run a region of space (Multiple Planets)
Baron - Nobles that run a planet
Count - Nobles that have land on said planet

We can work out the ranks, but each rank would have a House Guard or Army that would be loyal to them and they would be in turn loyal to the Imperator.
