Fleeing from a shattered civilization in the midst of a civil war, a group of doctors, explorers, soldiers, and analysts, industrious Tiens all, made their way across lightyears of darkspace to a new galaxy to call their own. The fruit of their efforts, their labors, have grown from their tree of ideals and formed the Taln Protectorate as we know it today. A region of space defined by the southeastern edges of the Oortung Nebula and the midsection of the Arlas Belt, Taln domain encompasses many worlds, subdivided into a plethora of Sectors. These are overseen by a strong yet deceptively lenient government known as the Directorate, hosted by the Protectorate's core Sovereignty systems. The state itself is rather socialistic in providing many civil services to the populace in exchange for discrete taxes, but is run by and large by individuals elected via direct democratic ballots. An example of this can be seen in the offices of subordinate governors and their respective cabinets used to keep individual sectors in line.
This concept is extended further on the martial side of things, with nepotism and/or aristocracy being all but nonexistent in the military. Ranking officers are uplifted from the lower echelons of the Officer Corps and put through Advanced Leadership Candidacy School based on skill and merit alone. On that note, it's not unheard of for even enlistees who've never attended the Academy to climb the ranks within a handful of tours of duty.
Three distinct chains of commands exist for each branch of the military
Centurion Home Guard
This branch of the armed forces stands as a near impenetrable bulwark to any opposing force that might seek to harm any Taln citizen. The CHG is comprised of elite guardsmen units that ceaselessly patrol Protectorate space in search of invaders and violations of established law, utilizing the very latest in military technology to swiftly bring any and all threats to heel. Due to the intensive training, however, Centurions are not in particularly excessive supply. Consequently, while Guardsmen often fulfill the role of Judge, Jury, and Executioner, they more often than not are forced to rely on the support of local judicial forces and planetary government cooperation to fulfill their duties.
Taln Naval Command
A highly centralized institution that directs fleet movements, appoints commanders, and even has some limited Directorate authority in dictating manufacturing priorities. The navy has been and perhaps always will be the pride of the Protectorate by virtue of its immense flexibility in maneuvers both at home and in foreign territory. It possesses the most experienced and dedicated Officer Corps of any other branch, a trait that lives up to the massive governmental expenditure on the organization's spacefaring hulls every fiscal quarter. Tien military philosophy insists on a combined arms approach in which advanced warships such as Excelsior class cruisers are screened by smaller frigates and aided by corvette reconnaissance units. Cumulatively these squadrons take up a huge chunk of the federal budget, but the Taln can take pride in the fact that the end result can contend with the best the galaxy has to offer.
Protectorate Planetary Corps
The PPC represent every naval commander's deepest fear - ground combat. Though through the course of previous conflicts, units of the previous Planetary Corps suffered tremendous rates of attrition, Taln commanders re-evaluated the gear loadout of the common trooper and made changes where necessary. The end result is the most heavily armored and well armed infantrymen on the battlefield, equally capable of surface warfare and exo-atmospheric operations. While this makes the average soldier all that more costly, the dramatic increase in both survival rates and effectiveness is well worth the extra expenditure for each individual trooper. The Planetary Corps are currently comprised of well over a dozen full regiments commanded by a single Executor.
