Military of the Colonial Imperium

Ever since the founding of the first colony the Imperium has been under attack by countless alien faction and a country’s need for a military has never been greater.

Provincial Planetary Guard The Provincial Planetary Guard or as they are more commonly know the PPG is a planets first defense against alien threats. Formed by volunteers the PPG is split into two groups, the naval arm and the land arm.

Naval Arm The Naval Arm is a portion of a planet’s PPG that is tasked with patrolling around the planet and stopping alien corsairs and pirates before they can land. Normally equipped with nothing larger than a cruiser the Naval Arm answers directly to the Knights Templar supreme command and will have a Knight onboard every vessel.

Land Arm Composed solely of volunteers the Land Arm of the PPG is armed and equipped with everything from tanks to heavy mortars to light machine guns.

Recruitment It is estimated that one of every five Imperium citizens is personally affected by the mass amount of propaganda put out by the Imperium and will join their planet’s PPG as a standard private. When an individual first joins the PPG they are sent to a six months long basic training before they are put through several exams that will assign them to one of the many branches of the Land arm such as a tank division or a maintenance unit.

Equipment The standard combat equipment for a PPG private on campaign is as follows: Two sets of combat scrubs One set of standard flak armor One beret Once helmet Once Gas mask One pair of Combat boots One standard issue laser rifle (planet specific) One Bayonet Once Combat knife One Canteen Once duffle bag One sleeping bag One mess kit One Bible
