Concordium Military

The Concordium Military is the name by which the armed forces of the Grand Concordium are known. It consists of three services, each of which fulfills specific offensive and defensive needs. As a whole, the Military is responsible for the defence of the planets and people of the Concordium, as well as the spacelanes and major facilities of its initiatives.

The Exarch
The authorty of the Exarch over the Military is part of the cornerstone of his or her power. Via the directives of the Executive, the Military and its senior officers enact the policies of the leadership for Concordium military operations.

Supreme Commander
One officer, who holds the unique rank of Supreme Commander, is the senior-most officer of the Concordium Military and chairs Central Command. As is tradition, this officer - along with the uniformed chiefs of the Army, Marine Corps and Navy - are the only military officers who will meet regularly with the Exarch to discuss military matters.

The Supreme Commander is chosen at the preference of the Exarch and serves at their pleasure. The standards for those considered for this highest post are considerable and stringent in the extreme. It is often common that whoever holds this post is in no less than their twentieth year of service.

Central Command
The chiefs of the three services, as well as the chiefs of logistics, special operations and special projects sit in council with the Supreme Commander to make up Concordium Central Command. Along with a cadre of the senior-most generals and admirals, these officers comprise the body of leaders that take the Exarch's policies and orders and work them into directives and operational guidelines for the military.

The Concordium Army
While the bulk of combat in modern war takes place in orbit above worlds and in the deep space between them and the suns they orbit, there still have to be dedicated troops to strike against hostile strongholds on the ground, to defend Concordium cities and facilities, and to repel hostile attempts to overrun or invade friendly or allied worlds. This is the task of the Concordium Army.

The Concordium Navy
From massive dreadnoughts to swift, nimble scouts, the Concordium Navy defends the systems of the realm, the planets and their populations, and prosecutes hostile forces that endanger those worlds and the starlanes that connect them. They likewise prosecute piracy and smuggling on the Concordium starlanes and help to ferry troops and supplies in wartime or in emergency situations.
