- Imperial Guard - Consists of the Imperial Guardsmen (Majority), Military Police (Peacekeeping). The largest coherent fighting force in the Empire. They serve as the Empire's primary combat force and first line of defense from the myriad threats which threaten the safety of Empire. It is comprised of men and women -- thousands of different regiments, supported by a vast array of light and heavy armored vehicles that provide the Guard's primary offensive punch. They are usually the first Imperial force to respond to a threat if the Empire's Border Defense Force (BDF) fails to suppress it. They also garrison major locations of strategic or cultural interest to the Empire and are often found in defensive roles. The Imperial Guard is often referred to as the "Sledgehammer of the Emperor"; the sheer amount of force that the Imperial Guard can bring to bear on the enemy is devastating.
- Imperial Air Force - One of the Armed Forces of the Empire, while the Imperial Guard represents the Empire's ground forces, the Imperial Air Force represents its Air Superiority. They are responsible for deep strike operations that brings the Imperial Guard behind enemy lines. They are responsible for bringing precious supplies fast by means of going to the air and for bringing the Imperial Guard in and out of combat.
- Imperial Navy - One of the Armed Forces of the Empire. The Imperial Navy is a member of the Border Defense Force in charge of the safety of the Empire from attacks coming at sea. They are responsible for the Naval Theater of War.
- Secret Intelligence Services (SIS) - This branch of the military splits further into 3 groups.
1. Imperial Inquisition - a secret organisation that exists outside the standard administrative hierarchy of the Holy Empire. The Inquisition acts as the secret police force of the Empire, hunting down any and all of the myriad threats to the stability of the Emperor's realm.
2. Officio Assassinorum - a highly secretive agency of the Holy Empire's government that employs different "temples" that train Assassins to further the goals and protect the security of the Holy Empire. Although the Inquisition strikes fear in the hearts of all Imperial citizens, loyal and corrupt alike, the deadly disciples of the Officio Assassinorum strike fear in the hearts of even the most savvy, battle-hardened of Imperial warriors.
3. Military Intelligence (MI) - in charge of reconnaissance, infiltration, and Secret Police work. Though they are part of the Secret Police, they are means as great as the Imperial Inquisition. The main difference between the two is that The Inquisition are so secretive and never left a trace, it is almost as if the Inquisition never existed. Rather than the MI who's identities are known to the public, but still maintains its secretive works.
