The military in Uantir is not run like a conventional military force as seen by most governments. Due to the confederate nature of Uantir’s territories being a conglomeration of relatively autonomous territories, the military forces of Uantir resemble a militia far more than a standing Army. Aristocrats are ‘super commanders’ and are responsible for a Guard, which is the term for the entirety of a region’s forces. Units are broken down further and explained in more detail in their own primer. Uantir has no Navy or Air Force, all air and naval powers are managed as part of the Uantiri Army. Traditional cultural norms such as close rank and file, uniforms, and regimental discipline common in conventional armies are unheard of in the Uantiri Army. The Army’s goal is ruthless efficiency and finds many aspects of conventional militaries as stifling and distracting. The Uantiri Army is not a peace keeping, global policing, or diplomatic organization and serves one purpose: to be the swift and decisive instrument in the protection of Uantir from foreign aggression and to mete out disproportionate retribution on those who would harm the people of Uantir. The Uantiri Army is notorious for lethality, brutality and effectiveness.
