The Imperial Army is the Galactic Empire's planetary military force, enjoying access to some of the most advanced munitions and technologies in the Galaxy, as well as coordinating with the Imperial Navy to better safeguard the Emperor's territories. Given the mandate of protecting and enforcing the rule of Imperial law on the scores of sovereign Imperial worlds, the soldiers and officers of the Imperial Army rely on superior discipline, advanced weaponry, and courage to carry the day. However, the Imperial Army's strength is not in its training regimen or vehicular might, fields in which it dominates nonetheless, but its strength lies in the dedication, devotion, and strength of character of its personnel, from the humble enlisted soldier, to the officers who comprise Army Command.
The mission of the Imperial Army, in short, is to:
- Defend the sovereignty of Imperial worlds from foreign military forces and insurgent movements,
- Enforce Imperial law and order in conjunction with the Imperial Navy, officers of the Imperial Security Bureau, and Imperial Intelligence agents,
- Conduct regular training operations and maneuvers to ensure unit cohesion and efficacy,
- Coordinate efforts with the Imperial Regional Government to ensure the Emperor's rule remains unchallenged in Imperial space, and lastly,
- Provide assistance and support in the form of military action to allies of the Empire who so require it.
His Majesty's Imperial Army is led by Army Command, the highest echelon in the service. ACOMD, as it is more commonly known, is comprised of officers who hold the following positions: Army Commanding Officer, Army Executive Officer, Army Logistics Officer, and Army Signals Officer. ACOMD acts as an overarching body, controlling the three Imperial Legions, which in turn is divided into 2 Brigades each. Each of these Brigades is assigned to a Sector of Imperial space, and they can be identified as either Assault or Reconnaissance Brigades.

Army Command
Army Command, commonly abbreviated as ACOMD, is the leading body and the highest echelon of the Imperial Army. Usually consisting of the three most senior officers of the Imperial Army, ACOMD makes the influential and everyday decisions that affect the direction of the Imperial Army. Members of ACOMD are also typically members of Imperial High Command, where they represent the Army, among the many other senior representatives from around the Empire. Meanwhile, the Army Commanding Officer is the lone army representative who has a seat on the Inner Circle.

Legions
- "...What sets us apart from the next army is superior training, equipment and leadership - above all else, discipline. It's what makes us a united fighting force rather than a mob with guns."
- — Imperial Command Sergeant
The main fighting force of the Imperial Army is the Imperial Legion. Each legion is comprised of ::CLASSIFIED;; number of enlisted personnel and non-commissioned officers, and are lead by ::CLASSIFIED:: number of officers. The personnel in the legion are then divided into sub units known as brigades, which are in turn divided further into smaller fighting units.
Each legion is comprised of soldiers specialy trained in a number of combat and non combat occupational specialties such as infantry, heavy assault, scouting, and many others. Armed with the most technologically advanced weapons, and the best trained and most dedicated soldiers in the galaxy. The legions of the Imperial Army are charged with the responsibility of occupying and securing enemy territory, garrisoning key Imperial worlds, and ensuring peace in the galaxy through the Iron will of the Empire.
- "Being Imperial ensures that my own race's culture and interests remain intact in a universe with so many different species. Imperial means progress, aid and discipline from the chaos of the galaxy at large."
- — Imperial Army Officer
The ranks of the Empire's legions are filled mostly by Humans. Not only does this provide the Imperial Army with the advantages of uniformity, stucture and adaptability. The comradeship, dedication, and iron will each soldier shares with eachother is something that cannot be matched by any other army in the galaxy. The Imperial Legionnaire fights, not only for the man next to him, but for the ideals of the New Order, a good and just society, peace and prosperity, and the betterment of every sentient in the galaxy.
