The Imperial Military

The Armed Forces of the Empire of Ikhan(Arashin: 𐰮𐰀𐰬𐰃 𐰃𐰀𐰢𐰐𐰅 𐰅𐰔 𐰅𐰢 𐰮𐰀𐱃𐰅𐰐𐰅𐰽 𐰃𐰆𐱃𐰀𐰪, tr: Zhakoi Jeshekan ve te Eshvai Ikhan), commonly known as the Imperial Military or the Arashin Armed Forces, are the military forces of Ikhan. They were established, at least in an early stage, after the Civil War.

On 6 October, 1890, Emperor Arkan IV ve Sherkoz signed an Imperial Mandate formally establishing the Arashin Ministry of Defense and placing all royalist forces under it's control. The Commander in Chief is the Emperor of Ikhan, however this is a purely ceremonial role in peacetime, with the Joint Chiefs of the General Staff and the Minister of Defense serving as the de-facto head of the military.

Under Arashin Imperial Law, the Armed Forces, alongside the Imperial Security Service (EKK)'s Border Troops, the Ikhani National Guard, the Rusai National Guard, the Lekhai National Guard, the Ministry for Internal Affairs, the Imperial Intelligence Service (EIK), and EMEREM (Emergency Response Ministry)'s civil defense form Ikhan's military services and are under the direct control of the Arashin National Security Council.

Service Branches
The Armed Forces of Ikhan are divided into:


 * the three branches of the Armed Forces: The Imperial Army, Imperial Navy, and Imperial Air Forces
 * the two separate troop branches: The Imperial Missile Forces (Air Forces) and Airborne Troops (Army)
 * the main special forces of the Armed Forces: the Special Operations Forces
 * the Joint Support Service, which holds special status within the Military.

There are also technically two further "separate troop branches", though they fall outside of the jurisdiction of the General Staff. They are the Imperial National Guards (Ikhan, Rusan, and Lekhai) and the Imperial Border Troops.
