The Custudo are the main infantry of the Empire being the most frequent and most widely used military resource the Empire has. While the Legions are the heavy shock troopers the Custudo are everything in between.

Custudo are split into 3 sections, Front line Infantry, Fortress Infantry (Border Troops), and Reserves. Each wears the same white uniform but have different colors present on the collar and sleeve (Red, Orange, and Yellow in order)

Front line Infantry are the basic and largest formation within the Custudo being the offensive section of the Rin Military. They are split into 4 main sections they being, Infantry, Artillery, Mechanized, and support.

Infantry are the largest out of all of these being well infantry. They are split into a series of sections (Basic Infantry, Grenadiers, and Shock Troopers) designated by a olive wreath upon their collar.

Grenadiers are the heavy support element of the Infantry being the heavy gunners and heavy weapons specialists on a squad basis. They are allowed a golden eagle (Single head) upon their uniform.

Shock troopers are a bit different. They are comparable to the Army Rangers and are not connected to the Infantry on a Squad basis. Instead they are a elite response and specialized troops used to take out specific targets and such. They wear red uniforms and are allowed to wear a double headed eagle upon their uniform.

Artillery are well artillery split into two sections (Mobile and Entrenched). Mobile Artillery is in the form of heavy tanks and mech suits that hang back behind the front line and give the Infantry a creeping barrage protection. Entrenched artillery is slightly different using entrenched positions and massive guns to bombard enemy positions. Usually used in siege warfare using massive guns (A good example is the Goliath Gun which can put entire cities into submission). This type of warfare is only used during siege with massive siege lines dug all around the city (Think Ceaser's siege of Alesia)

Mechanized is like Artillery but more mobile and less heavy weapons. They are normally fast mechs that bring fire support to the Infantry. They are fast and nimble with a heavy punch and enough speed to get out of a sticky situation quick. Generally Pilots/Drivers wear a much different uniform then the norm.

Support is everything from logistics to snipers. They are distinguished by a saber upon their collar.

Now for more Information on the other types of Infantry.

Fortress Infantry are the border troops of the Empire split between the border troops who guard border worlds and watch forts. The other branch is the actual Fortress Infantry who are stationed within fortress worlds. They are response troops much like Shock Troops and considered an 'elite' fighting force used to seal breaches within the Empire's border.

Reserves are well reserves used to fill gaps in infantry formations....
