Prototype: Imperial Commissariat (official name pending confirmation)



The Imperial Commissariat or (insert official name here) is the sub-branch of the Grand Imperial Military tasked with enforcing the loyalty, intense discipline and morale. They do this through inspiring a combination of fear and admiration in the soldiers of the Order. The men of the Grand Imperial Military are but normal men, tasked to serve the Order of Balance and the Supreme Emperor Kwagar Ocata. The horros they face are numeroud and can drive men to insanity, so strong willed and courageous individuals like Commissars are there to hand out both encouragement and punishment for cowardice. A commissar is also tasked with fighting alongside the regular troops of the GIM and taking command in times of dire need when an officer lacks the required zeal or morale is failing. In the most darkest of situations, a commissar is empowered to execute any man who tries to flee from the enemy or betrays his fellow guardsmen. A commissar does not rely on brutal discipline alone, but will always seek to make himself an example to Soldiers, often throwing themselves into the hottest of combat zones and never making a common soldier do something the commissar couldn't do himself.
