Vastirian Militia

The Vastirian Militia is organized in a hierarchical and matrixed manner. Each Lord is ultimately in control of their own Militia, and each Militia has a ground branch, a sea and air force, and a space force. Generally orders are given by the highest commander in each branch (of which there is only one across all Lords), however the individual orders of a Lord supersede those of the Commander.

Vastirian Ground Militia (VGM)
The Vastirian Ground Militia (VGM) is the oldest branch of each Lord's military force. Some of the Lords had previously existing forces that formed the basis of the Lord's VGM. The most common function of the VGM is local policing of the Lord's region, though they have also been deployed on the Eastern Continent, and theoretically they could be deployed on another planet.

Ranks
The ranks in the VGF are as follows:


 * Commander General (1) - in charge of Vastirian Militia across all Ground Militias. The Commander General is selected by the King and is generally the General from that King's region when he's selected.
 * General (21) - one per Lord, in charge of each Lord's Ground Militia forces.
 * Colonel (varies) - responsible for the soldiers in a region in the Lordship
 * Captain (varies) - responsible for local units
 * Corporal (varies) - responsible for local squads

Vastirian Sea and Air Force (V-SAF)
The Vastirian Sea and Air Force (V-SAF) is the second oldest branch under most lordships. The coastal Lords in particular had extensive sea forces absorbed into the V-SAF.

Most commonly, the V-SAF has been responsible for control of the seas between the Eastern and Western Continents and patrolling Erodia.

Ranks
The ranks in the V-SAF are as follows:


 * Commander General (1) - in charge of Vastirian Militia across all air and sea vessels and troops. The Commander General is selected by the King and is generally the General from that King's region when he's selected.
 * General (21) - one per Lord, in charge of each Lord's Ground Militia forces.
 * Admiral (varies) - responsible for a fleet of ships
 * Lieutenant (varies) - responsible for a squadron of ships
 * Captain (varies) - responsible for a single ship

Vastirian Cosmic Force (VCF)
The Vastirian Cosmic Force (VCF) was not created until much later under each Lordship. Unlike the other two branches of the military, the Lords generally exert much less control over this branch, except for when they are on foreign travel.

Ranks
The ranks in the VCF are as follows:


 * Commander General (1) - in charge of Vastirian Militia across all space forces. The Commander General is selected by the King and is generally the General from that King's region when he's selected.
 * General (21) - one per Lord, in charge of each Lord's Ground Militia forces.
 * Master Sergeant (varies) - responsible for a fleet of ships
 * Sergeant (varies) - responsible for a squadron of ships
 * Captain (varies) - responsible for a single ship
