Imperial Service (9th Imperium)
His Imperial Majesty's Service is now merged with the Most Sovereign and Imperial Order of the Imperium. The organization structure and the ranks have been adjusted accordingly.
Since the inception of the 9th Imperium, the Imperial Service is the organization that operates and/or supports the Grand Imperial Court of the Aksum Imperium, and the Imperial Crown. It is responsible for the oversight of the Imperial Staff (IS Staff and Imperial Chambers), the Imperial Viceroyalty Service, the Imperial Guard Service, the Imperial Governance and Diplomatic Service, the Imperial Defense and Security Service, and their associated orders.
The IS is the primary source to achieve full Citizenship status in the Imperium. Everyone must serve a minimum six good months, without a break in service, or without inactivity. Its headquarters is split between Aksum City on Akum Prime, the Imperial Citadel on Aksum Prime, the Imperial City and the Fortress of Aksum, both world-ships in a synchronous order in the Nexus.
History The Imperial Guard
The Imperial Guard of the Aksum Imperium was the first armed and security force. It was created when the initial founders ventured into the unknown. The young explorers discovered that their leader was more than he or they knew. Xavier Reikaz, the security expert and self-proclaimed chaplain of the group discovered ancient text. He along with a group influential in forming the Imperium came together and pushed to create the organization because they all new that the lands they found and their leader needed to be secured . The Imperial Guard eventually became the Order of the Guardian and the responsibility of defending and securing the new Imperium was transferred to the Imperial Armed Forces and the Imperial Police. Nemesis Sass became head of the Imperial Guard, Varon Vanderpeck became the Lord Marshal and leader of the Imperial Armed Forces, and Xavier Reikaz became the Director General of Police. The Imperial Guard's charge became the Emperor and the Imperial Palace, and detachments accompanied the Emperor as Supreme Commander on the battlefield.
The Imperial Armed Forces
The Imperial Armed Forces was created to defend the Imperium and fight and win its wars. Varon Vanderperck is credited with its inception. He was followed by Cayleb Nuubert who led the IAF for the longest. When the IAF and the Imperial Police transitioned back to the Imperial Guard, Katy Hemby, the former head of the Imperial Aero Forces, became the new Lady Marshal. The Imperial Armed Forces was later changed to the Imperial Military Service as it stands today. The IMS is the higher headquarters for the Imperial Army, Imperial Navy, Imperial Aero Forces, and Imperial Marines. It provides the forces to the Imperial Service Quadrant High Marshals.
