Alysian Intragalactic Defense System

The Alysian Intragalactic Defense System (AIDS) is the armed forces of the Alysian Empire. Its role is to patrol and protect the Empire from threats inside and out, and to contribute in the expansion projects of the Empire. It was founded a few months after the founding of the Empire itself, and thus, as of 2263, has lasted 1263 earth years.

History
The AIDS was created as a means to protect and expand the Alysian Empire and its details were finalized in mid Kuvthar of the same year. Throughout history, it has been integral in creating the Empire as it is today.

The AIDS have continued to innovate in weapons technology, with the help of several royal families who have taken a passion to weapons development. A particularly impressive example would be the cloaking device for starships, which took years to create.

Since the First Cengkeh War, the spacefaring (naval) branch of the AIDS has been led by the Pon'A of Brest-Plonischky, due to Kluts MCMXI's successful strategies during said conflict. This tradition prevails to this day.

Organisation
The Alysian Intragalactic Defense System itself is divided into two branches- the Spacefaring (naval) and Terrestrial (ground) branches. The commander-in-chief of the AIDS is the Rex himself, holding the rank of Genus Rex and '''Legate Rex. The ranks''' of both the Spacefaring and Terrestrial branches can be found here.
