The Neithian Militant Forces (NMF) is the state military of the State of Neith, which is part of the Interstate of Neith-Tiaan. Unlike other interstates which have consolidated unified armed forces, Neith-Tiaan is divided as the two states are usually at odds with one another. The NMF and the Tiaanese Self Defense Force only unify under the Zeusic Interplanetary Defense Coalition (ZIDC) when there is a coordinated attack against the interstate as a whole. The Militant Forces is a unified structure, with no independent or environmental service branches. It does consist of environmental divisions, however they answer to the same command structures, and follow the same ranking organization.
The NMF is led by the Prime Conqueror, currently Latsnam Yohdneck, who is appointed by the Planetar of Neith. The Prime Conqueror, then in turn has essentially unlimited power over the Militant Forces. In practice, this person can unilaterally change the military's structure or deploy forces wherever he deems fit. Interstate law, however, does prohibit this to an extent. The Prime Conqueror is supported by two Conquestator Generals, one of which leads the defensive division of the NMF, and the other who leads the expeditionary or colonization forces. Both are considered equal in duty and precedence.
Organization[]
Rank structure[]
Ranks should not be confused with duty titles. A trooper can be a grade of helmsman, which he would usually be referred to in that capacity. A general officer will be referred to as "captain" if he or she is in command of a vessel, even though they may not hold that rank. Ranks are utilized mostly for administrative purposes such as pay grade or precedence of authority.
