Imperial Military Service/Order of the Crusader
The Imperial Military Service (IMS), also known as the Order of the Crusader, serves as the primary combat force of the Aksum Imperium. Tracing its lineage back to the Imperial Armed Forces, the IMS embodies dedication and commitment to defending the realm. Organized under the Imperial Defense and Security Service (IDSS), the IMS comprises two key branches: the Imperial Army (Order of the Warrior), responsible for planetary and orbital operations, and the Imperial Navy (Order of the Trident), handling interstellar naval and aviation missions. This structure ensures the IMS can effectively support expeditionary and defense missions for the Imperium.
Leadership
Organization
Directives, Polices, and Regulations
The CMC issues directives, policies, and regulations to establish structure and set standards of operations and conduct of the Imperial Military. These documents are subordinate to the documents issued by the Grand Marshal and Supreme Commander and typically is an expansion of those directives. The subordinate organizations may issue documents as well, but they can not supersede those of the CMC.
