Origination

The Imperial Sextus Brigade is premier amongst the wardens of humanity, as the greatest of the Imperial soldiers, holding the bulwark of the Empire’s military assets. Those conscripted are considered elite men of the Empire, and serve as the foremost martial force - enacting the Emperor’s will with precision and diligence the likes of which is unparalleled.

 

Under command of the Marshal and his commissaries, each Brigadier shall serve a lifelong duty and fortuitous pledge of servitude. For the Empire’s violet purple is adorned upon the tabard of every soldier, shall he always hold it vigilant within mind, and belief.

 

“With thy hand, I strike down all who oppose me,

for they are the scourge upon humanity;

shall this prove brisk.”

 

- Emperor John Frederick in private audience

of his council, in addressment of the

Norlandic imposement.

 

Letter of Reformation

In order to effect a timely halt to lethargy currently gripping the Imperial Capital of Adelburg and the Holy Orenian Empire as a whole, the Imperial Crown has decided, in counsel with the Crown’s military advisors, to henceforth dissolve the Adelburgian Guard Force. In its stead, a new standing army shall be formed from the guard force, to serve and protect the Empire.  This standing army shall be maintained through the diligence of an Imperial Military Council, comprising of Commanders within the newly formed Imperium Sextus Brigade, whose service and loyalty to the Crown is unquestioned. From experience garnered from the Imperial Constabulary Forces to the Adelburgian Guard Force, it is the view of the Imperial Military Council that the ranks of military personnel and their subsequent promotions within the former orders shall be henceforth rescinded. The 6th Imperium Brigade shall be structured anew, with promotions for members having to be passed by the Marshal of the Imperium Sextus Brigade, whilst implementing a true system of pay for the glorious soldiers who defend us.

 

Much like contemporary army structures around Axios, military personnel will be assigned a rank within the Imperium Sextus Brigade. This is used to help structure command, responsibility, camaraderie and authority within the ranks. Promotions within such ranks are granted on merit, activity and availability. This new system is designed to be functional, offering distinctions between the ranks, which will grant a greater opportunity to take pride in the uniform a soldier dons. In tandem with these sweeping reforms to the Imperial Military, a new series of military honours and medals shall also be created, gifted to soldiers by the Marshal of the Imperium Sextus Brigade or His Imperial Majesty. These will be designed on the same basis as those used in the Legion in ages past.All those who wish to Join the Imperial Army may make applications, which will then be forwarded to the Imperial Military Council. Ave Orenia.

Rank & File

 

 

Marshal

The Marshal is the highest ranked member within the Imperium Sextus Brigade. Appointed by popular vote among the Commanders of the Imperial Military Council and with the approval of the Imperial Throne. The Marshal carries, within this prestigious position, the complete authority and responsibility of overseeing the Imperium Sextus Brigade and the maintenance of Imperial Law. Unlike the Commanders, the Marshal acts as the de facto organiser and leader of the Imperium Sextus Brigade.

 

Field Marshal (*)

Unlike any other rank, the rank of Field Marshal is one acting both inside and outside of the system. A Privy Council position that is designated by His Imperial Majesty, the Field Marshal is the commanding voice during battle, with complete authority over the Imperium Sextus Brigade and subsequent responsibility of the result of the battle, whilst acting as a countermeasure to the powers of the Marshal. For their responsibility, they are accountable to His Imperial Majesty and the Marshal and respectively.

 

Commander

The Commanders are the Officers of Imperium Sextus Brigade. Selected by the Marshal, with the approval of the Imperial Throne, to serve as military advisors and battle strategists. The majority of vassal-lords within the Holy Orenian Empire fall under this category, provided that they can levy a minimum of five men, including themselves. The Commanders can designate one of their five men to act as their Sergeant, their second, with the approval of the Marshal. A Commander acts with authority over his assigned division of men within the 6th Imperium Brigade, and takes responsibility for the maintenance of that division. They are also responsible, just like the Marshal, to maintain Imperial Law within the Holy Orenian Empire.

 

Sergeant

The Sergeants are the second-in-commands within a Commander’s Division, aiding them in the maintenance of equipment and the measurement of morale within that division. Should a Commander be absent, it is expected for the Sergeant to take command of the division assigned. A Sergeant may oversee the maintenance of Imperial Law within the Empire, however, they do so in full knowledge of their responsibility and accountability to their Commander and the Marshal. During War, Sergeants may, with their Commander’s Permission, act as an Ensign; the standard-bearer of their division.

 

Brigadier

The Brigadier is the foundation stone of the Imperium Sextus Brigade. They do not carry the Authority to maintain Imperial Law, nor carry out justice in it’s name, but may report back to a superior any crime that they may witness. Brigadiers in the Imperium Sextus Brigade must win over the support of their Commander, should they wish to be promoted to become a Sergeant, yet there should be no shame in their rank. Pay and Shelter will be provided, as will Equipment when requested, in return for loyal service to the Imperium Sextus Brigade.

 

Recruit (*)

The Recruit is the starting step into the 6th Imperium Brigade. After showing activity within the Imperium Sextus Brigade for a fortnight, a Recruit may be named a Brigadier by their Commander, with word being given to the Marshal of their Promotion. Like the Brigadier, they do not carry the authority to maintain Imperial Law, nor carry out justice in it’s name, but may report back to a superior any crime that they may witness.

 

Doctor (*)

An Unofficial Rank within the Imperium Sextus Brigade, Doctors are Brigadier who have taken pains to specialise in medical expertise, and may be rightfully titled “Dr.” In order to become a Doctor, a Soldier must receive Medical Training from the Barracks and receive the Green Cross Medal. They do not carry the Authority to maintain Imperial Law, nor carry out justice in it’s name.

 

(*) = Rank is linked indirectly.
