The Imperial State Army or The I.S.A is the current standing army of The Holy Orenian Empire. It was founded out of the ashes of War of the Two Emperors to replace the outdated levy armies which the imperial crown believe was one of the reasons that lead to the war in the first place. Over a century of operation The I.S.A has undergone many changes in officers, ranks, uniforms & standard operation. Currently, The Imperial State Army is the largest army in the realm, boasting a mighty 30,200 active soldiers with thousands more in reserves.

Brigades
The Imperial State Army is made up of five brigades. The 1st Brigade makes up the general infantry force of the army. The 2nd Brigade is where all recruits & cadets are sent for basic training. The 3rd Brigade is the army cavalry unit nicknamed The Helena Dragoons. The 4th Brigade is the elite guard that protects imperial royalty & carries out special missions. Lastly, The 5th Brigade is the medical & research division of the Imperial State Army.
The 1st Brigade
Over the course of The Imperial State Army's history, The 1st Brigade has stayed relatively the same throughout its history. The first version of the 1st Brigade held the purpose of being guards of Helena. When Alren DeNurem was made General, the 1st brigade changed to serve the same purpose it does today.
Within the 1st Brigade are four officer positions; Captain, Quartermaster, Drillmaster & Taskmaster. The role of the Taskmaster serves as a way to organize all the major projects of the army into smaller tasks that can be handed out to the common soldier. The Taskmaster also commonly plans & holds morale-boosting events for all soldiers. The Drillmaster's goal is to keep the 1st Brigade in shape by doing patrols of imperial land & combat exercises. The Quartermaster's tasks are to gather & distribute equipment to all soldiers. The Quartermaster often appoint's a Pennymaster who serves as an assistant. The Taskmaster, Drillmaster & Quartermaster are all Lieutenant ranks. The Captain function's as the overseer of the entire brigade & reports directly to the imperial army administration about the status of the brigade. The Captain is often the one who leads the brigade into battle.
- The Captain of The 1st Brigade currently is: Erik var Ruthern
The 2nd Brigade
During Leonard de Ruyter's time as Imperial General, The 2nd Brigade was known as "The Gunner's". The Gunner's served as the general assault force of The Empire. When Alren DeNurem took up the mantle as General, The Gunner's were abolished and The 2nd Brigade became the hub for recruits & cadets to go to gain their "medals" needed to pass basic training.
Within the 2nd Brigade are two different officer positions; Captain & Commandant. The Commandant serves as a drillmaster & trainer for the recruits. Commandants often run the bulk of imperial training. Currently, there are three Commandant positions available for soldiers from Sergeant to Lieutenant. ((WIP))
- The Captain of The 2nd Brigade currently is: George Darkwood
The 3rd Brigade
The 3rd Brigade originated as an elite order for the knights of The Holy Orenian Empire until the war Rubern War broke out & many knights defected to The Alliance of Independent States. The 3rd Brigade was disbanded with the remaining members funneling into the 1st & 2nd Brigade. During Alren DeNurem's time as General, The 3rd Brigade was refounded but this time as a cavalry unit which was nicknamed "The Helena Dragoons".
Prior to the creation of The Helena Dragoons, the only mounted units in The Imperial State Army were scouts & light calvary without a common goal that was until, Ensign Peter Baldwin, Carsen Helson & Alexander Cenobia reformed the brigade. The Dragoons were soon able to secure a base in The County of Harlingen, a vassal just outside of the Helena walls. Once the base was established, mass recruitment began for the brigade. Recruitment was slow at first but after the brigade displayed what it was capable of during The Battle of Rubern, recruits lined up to join.
Many years later, once the Rubern War was over & the 1st generation of The 5th Brigade was defunct. The Helena Dragoons were re-assigned to Owynsburg, Kaedrin where they primarily remained until the ending of The Sutican War.
