	The typical soldier of the Imperial Army is a well-trained, well-equipped, and well-motivated individual that is able to take and hold ground from the Empire’s typical opponents with ease. But there are some things that even these individuals cannot do, and this is when His Majesty’s Special Operations Group is deployed. The position of its leader — the Colonel-in-Chief — is considered to be an extremely prestigious duty that has been held by a member of House Strelitz since the Group’s creation following the War of Moroz.

The position is regarded as so vital that it has been held by the Caladius since inception and has remained with one family of the house for its entire history, slowly passing from relative to relative through Imperial history.

	While the various cabinet members may hold near absolute power over their respective military branches, it is the Chief Commissioner that directs much of the military’s efforts from behind the scenes. The chief commissioner is, on paper, intended to exist as the primary director of military research and development. In reality the position — which has been occupied by a Volvalaad since its creation — is used by House Volvalaad to exert influence over Houses Strelitz and Zhao. The research of the Volvalaads is used and valued by all branches of the Imperial Military, but often comes with a price attached, and the cost is typically repaid by carrying out the Volvalaad’s goals abroad.

	Diplomacy — even for the Empire, which has long had sour relations with its neighbors — is key to any modern state. But despite the importance of diplomacy, the role of the Chief Commissioner of Imperial Sovereignty is somewhat limited due to the Empire’s poor reputation abroad, aside from the Republic of Biesel and Nralakk Federation. Much of the CCIS’ duties instead relate to maintaining good relations with Zavodskoi Interstellar, which has quickly become one of the Empire’s major employers.

This is certainly not an easy task when speaking of an alien race. From cultural differences to distinct biological characteristics such as diets or sleep cycles, the Empire needed someone who truly understood the Unathi to both represent them efficiently in the Cabinet, and who could then properly communicate to the Sinta of the Empire to coordinate them to the best of their ability and use within the bureaucracy.

	Colonized in 2367 by the combined efforts of the Imperial Alliance and Holy Kingdom of Domelkos, the Imperial Mandate of Zhurong is the Empire’s oldest continuous colony. Zhurong is home to plentiful mineral deposits which form the backbone of the local economy, and have ensured the planet is the beating industrial heart of the Empire and its Fleet. Its capital Hongse Chengbao, literally translated as Red Castle, is in one of the few stable regions of the planet and takes its name from the large Imperial Fleet Arsenal which was established there in the early 2370s. Much of the planet’s surface outside of the stable regions is constantly shifting and exposing new mineral deposits which the Empire readily exploits by using large mobile mining walkers designed to withstand the frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity Zhurong is known for. The planet is known to be far hotter than Moroz and local fashion discards the long sleeves and heavy coats of Moroz for short sleeves and lighter fabrics.

	In contrast to the decay and poverty of Chaldea proper, the Youdu System is a beacon of activity — though primarily military activity. While its two moons are too small for true large-scale military development, the extensive orbital works found in it have led to the military designating the system as Fortress Wei. The forces here are subordinated to the nearly Shandi Fleet Command Center in the Caer Sidi System and Fortress Wei itself serves a dual role as a backstop to prevent enemy forces from overrunning the Empire if Caer Sidi’s Western Bastion fell unexpectedly, and to serve as a strategic reserve for it. Most facilities here are dedicated to repair and resupply efforts, with badly damaged vessels serving in the Imperial Frontier often being sent here to make them usable again. These installations are concentrated around the planet itself, with concentric defensive rings throughout the system. Fortress Wei’s defenses were heavily influenced by [[San Colette\|Nueva Patria’s]], with Colettish engineering experts having been brought in by the Empire to help with their design and construction.

	The Empire’s hold on the planet itself is tenuous at best outside of its capital, Forsegard, with no Imperial Army units stationed on the world and its small rural constable service only truly effective in the capital and its surrounding waters. Officially the reasoning behind this is that resources are better spent elsewhere, with little attention being paid to the native population aside from protecting missionary stations and Imperial businesses. Unofficially, the lack of any real effort to pacify Chaldea is a sign ''the Empire has stretched its colonial possessions far enough that it cannot secure all of them''', leading to it prioritizing some over others. Every [[Dominian Imperial Military#The Imperial Army\|Imperial Army]] trooper who could theoretically be committed to Chaldea is needed elsewhere, be that on Xiang-Xia, in [[Fisanduh]], or elsewhere. If there is a true problem in Forsegard, such as a riot against the colonial government or [[Moroz Holy Tribunal#Divergent Tribunalist Interpretations\|apostasy]], the Fleet can bomb it into submission or deploy armsmen to contain it.

	=====Hyrcania=====		=====Hyrcania=====

	The Imperial Viceroyalty of Hyrcania is the most ~~western~~ Dominian world, having only submitted to Imperial authority in 2438 following the arrival of an Imperial Fleet force in its system. It is located in the Caer Sidi System. The planetary surface is covered in continent-wide forests of supermassive trees which can stretch nearly a kilometer into the air at times. Below these trees is a biological system which — for reasons unknown — favors large, territorial, and predatory monsters. The presence of these monsters has led to very few permanent human settlements existing on land, with Hyrcians instead living in semi-nomadic boat cities that float up and down the coasts of its freshwater oceans as the seasons change to avoid the seasonal activity of predatory animals. Settlements on land are often seasonal foraging communities of these boat cities and typically feature defensive fortifications to prevent them from being overcome by wildlife. The Empire has done very little to interfere with this cycle of life, viewing the residents of the planet as beneath notice so long as they do not actively plot against the Empire and follow the Goddess. Instead its interest lies mostly in orbit, as Hyrcania’s position has made it an excellent point of defense for the wider Empire against the broader Southern Spur.

	Hycians — the residents of the planet — are stereotyped as uneducated and provincial in the broader Empire, and are often accused of “Hyrcian's faith” — a belief they, isolated from the broader Empire and Tribunal in their forests and boat cities, have no knowledge of the Goddess beyond Her name and to praise Her when nobles are present. Many Hyrcian claim the [[Moroz Holy Tribunal#The Goddess\|Goddess]] sends those deemed having evil souls to a [[Visegrad\|dark reflection]] of Hyrcania’s forests, where they are hunted by its [[IPC\|monsters]] until they repent. Local clergy have deemed this an acceptable deviation from conventional ideology, though some conservatives argue it could be stamped out if the colonial bureaucracy paid more attention to the planet. Hyrcians have a maritime culture and have been deemed “Sea-Scarabs” by some scholars, with them having maintained their oceangoing ships — dating to the colonial era — for generations, just as the Scarabs have their spacecraft. Most generally have some form of mechanical knowledge as a result, and live under the rulership of major-captains who are generally first elected by the ship, then approved by the colonial bureaucracy before being appointed.

Hyrcians have a maritime culture and have been deemed “Sea-Scarabs” by some scholars, with them having maintained their oceangoing ships — dating to the colonial era — for generations, just as the Scarabs have their spacecraft. Most generally have some form of mechanical knowledge as a result, and live under the rulership of major-captains who are generally first elected by the ship, then approved by the colonial bureaucracy before being appointed.

	Located in the Youdu System, the '''Imperial Viceroyalty of Chaldea''' is a pan-thalassic world covered in shallow seas and mineral-rich seafloors. With no true land to build on, the cities of Chaldea are built on sea mounds — points where the seafloor reaches nearly to the surface where it is easier to sink the reinforcements needed to construct the planet’s sea-cities. Chaldea submitted to the [[Dominian Imperial Military#The Imperial Fleet\|Imperial Fleet]] in 2435 following a brief parley between the planet’s leading citizens and the staff officers of the 2nd Battlefleet, where Fleet Admiral Wei Zhao remarked he could simply obliterate the planet’s cities as, with only water below them, there was no room to build any bunkers. Chaldea surrendered the next day. The planet’s surface is covered entirely by water and is known for its frequent inclement weather, which can cause typhoon-like conditions ~~Bactrians~~ refer to as “sea-storms” or “great sea-storms” depending upon their severity. The sea-cities of Chaldea are designed to withstand these sea-storms, but are rotting after centuries cut off from the broader Spur and neglect by the Empire in favor of the Youdu System’s orbital and spaceborne installations and defenses.

	Chaldeans, like Xians, are one of the Empire’s poorest groups, though they are poor out of neglect while Xians are poor due to exploitation. Their sea-cities — once magnificent works of the Alliance’s golden age — have sat for centuries without off-world support and many systems are barely functional or jerry-rigged, with locally-produced components having substituted the original parts long ago. The hands-off policy of the Empire has led many to desperation, turning to piracy on the planet’s seas in hopes of eking out some kind of living. Equally desperate sea-cities are rumored to unofficially sponsor privateering to secure the supplies they need to survive and weather the sea-storms of the planet, as the act of dredging materials from the seafloor and turning them into usable parts is an arduous one. For some, it is much easier to steal them. The Empire has yet to intervene against this, perhaps viewing it as beneath its notice, or believing this organized chaos may prevent any possible dissident movement. Seeing no better option on their home, many Chaldeans opt to migrate abroad in the Empire and the world has seen a steady population decline since its annexation. While some expatriates join the military first, many instead go to work in the mines and factories of the Imperial Core, or in the Empire’s growing service industry, where many serve as hired help for wealthy Secondary or Jadraner families.
