+ | The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' (''ïa Bivarhins Uihmanz'') has ultimate responsibility for the defence of the [[Imperial County]]. An independent corps of the Imperial Army, it also includes formations from the [[Corps of Auxiliaries]], the [[Order of the Sentinels]] and the [[Imperial Household Agency]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==History== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In 1643, the relatively youthful (At 13) [[Adam Ayreon-Kalirion]] was appointed Magister Militum of the [[Palatini Corps]] as one of a number of moves that seemed to be intended to tighten the grip of the [[Kalirion Khanate]] of [[Goldshire]] and the [[ESB-Jörmungandr Group]] over the city during the absence of [[Kaiser Dominus]] on an extended state visit and tour of the continent of [[Eura]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In 1644 the strength of the Palatini Corps was drastically cut from 75,000 to 24,000 with the expulsion of the Scholae from [[Raynor's Keep]] by the Commissioner of the Crypteia, [[Tokaray al-Osman]] during the Kaiser's absence in Elwynn. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Following the [[Oustfest Massacre]] the command structure and organisation of the Palatini Corps was thrown into confusion. In the aftermath the Steward's Guard, the Crypteia and the Sentinels were counted as part of the Corps to prevent the failures in communication and inter-unit rivalry which had permitted the coup-plotters to undertake their conspiracy. As a consequence the force was increased to a nominal strength of 38,200. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In late 1655, as the war with Jingdao and Passio-Corum ground on interminably, the size of the Palatini Corps was increased to 48,000, half of whom were Palatini, supported by a equal number of auxiliaries. Much of the heavy weaponry of the Palatini Corps had been released to front-line formations during the so-called War of Lost Brothers, leaving the corps increasingly reliant upon [[GAV(U)-4 Jackalope|Jackalope]] runabouts, which in turn were transferred to the Batavian Front after the destruction of the 5th Legion. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In 1656 the long-term acting commander of the Palatini Corps, the legate Henricus Kalends, was confirmed in post and promoted to the rank of Magister Militum. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Beginning in 1658, the Palatini Corps was first in line for new equipment rolling off the production-lines in [[Mishalan]]. In the same year Magister Kalends was obliged to resign for reasons that were nowhere recorded in the official record. His replacement, the Magister Harry Payne, was a rarity - an officer promoted and ennobled from the ranks after purchasing his own commission. | ||
+ | |||
+ | On 11.VII.1660 the Palatini Corps was ordered by [[Steward]] [[Mira Octavius-Aryani]] to cross the border into [[Alalehzamin]], then gripped by a [[Nationalist and Humanist Party|Humanist]] uprising, and secure a buffer zone roughly contiguous with the borders of the old Imperial County. By 12.XI.1660, having been brought up to strength with obsolete artillery and small arms released from Benacia Command, the Corps' Magister was finally able to report to the Steward's Tower that the Scholae legions were ready to advance. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Continuing the trend of the Octavian reforms, the [[Vigiles Arcani]], [[Ordo Imperii Decima]], and [[S.W.O.R.D.]], were affiliated and subordinated to the Palatini Corps by the [[Daniyal ibn Daniyal Simrani-Kalirion|Prince of Modan]], and removed from the command structure of the [[Shirerithian Supplies Service]] in 1664. In the same reorganisation the Palatini Corps finally achieved formal separation from the [[Imperial Army]]. | ||

The Palatini Corps (ïa Bivarhins Uihmanz) has ultimate responsibility for the defence of the Imperial County. An independent corps of the Imperial Army, it also includes formations from the Corps of Auxiliaries, the Order of the Sentinels and the Imperial Household Agency.
History
In 1643, the relatively youthful (At 13) Adam Ayreon-Kalirion was appointed Magister Militum of the Palatini Corps as one of a number of moves that seemed to be intended to tighten the grip of the Kalirion Khanate of Goldshire and the ESB-Jörmungandr Group over the city during the absence of Kaiser Dominus on an extended state visit and tour of the continent of Eura.
In 1644 the strength of the Palatini Corps was drastically cut from 75,000 to 24,000 with the expulsion of the Scholae from Raynor's Keep by the Commissioner of the Crypteia, Tokaray al-Osman during the Kaiser's absence in Elwynn.
Following the Oustfest Massacre the command structure and organisation of the Palatini Corps was thrown into confusion. In the aftermath the Steward's Guard, the Crypteia and the Sentinels were counted as part of the Corps to prevent the failures in communication and inter-unit rivalry which had permitted the coup-plotters to undertake their conspiracy. As a consequence the force was increased to a nominal strength of 38,200.
In late 1655, as the war with Jingdao and Passio-Corum ground on interminably, the size of the Palatini Corps was increased to 48,000, half of whom were Palatini, supported by a equal number of auxiliaries. Much of the heavy weaponry of the Palatini Corps had been released to front-line formations during the so-called War of Lost Brothers, leaving the corps increasingly reliant upon Jackalope runabouts, which in turn were transferred to the Batavian Front after the destruction of the 5th Legion.
In 1656 the long-term acting commander of the Palatini Corps, the legate Henricus Kalends, was confirmed in post and promoted to the rank of Magister Militum.
Beginning in 1658, the Palatini Corps was first in line for new equipment rolling off the production-lines in Mishalan. In the same year Magister Kalends was obliged to resign for reasons that were nowhere recorded in the official record. His replacement, the Magister Harry Payne, was a rarity - an officer promoted and ennobled from the ranks after purchasing his own commission.
On 11.VII.1660 the Palatini Corps was ordered by Steward Mira Octavius-Aryani to cross the border into Alalehzamin, then gripped by a Humanist uprising, and secure a buffer zone roughly contiguous with the borders of the old Imperial County. By 12.XI.1660, having been brought up to strength with obsolete artillery and small arms released from Benacia Command, the Corps' Magister was finally able to report to the Steward's Tower that the Scholae legions were ready to advance.
Continuing the trend of the Octavian reforms, the Vigiles Arcani, Ordo Imperii Decima, and S.W.O.R.D., were affiliated and subordinated to the Palatini Corps by the Prince of Modan, and removed from the command structure of the Shirerithian Supplies Service in 1664. In the same reorganisation the Palatini Corps finally achieved formal separation from the Imperial Army.
