Military
The collection of Skolian armed forces is called Imperial Space Command, or ISC. The commander-in-chief of all ISC forces is the Imperator of Skolia.
The ISC has four divisions:
- J-Force - analogous to air force, consists of Jag fighters and their Jagernaut pilots
- Advance Services Corps - scouts planets
- Pharaoh's Army - the oldest branch with a 5000 years of history traced back to the beginning of the Ruby Empire, concentrates mainly on planetary war conflicts
- Imperial Fleet - originated in the navy on Raylicon, now it dominates the space division of ISC
The main centers of ISC are the space habitat Orbiter with its War Room, Triad Chair and Lock, the Onyx Platform protecting the Third Lock and the planet Diesha, which serves as the ISC headquarters and seat of the Dieshan Military Academy.

Famous quotes containing the word military:
“The transformation of the impossible into reality is always the mark of a demonic will. The only way to recognize a military genius is by the fact that, during the war, he will mock the rules of warfare and will employ creative improvisation instead of tested methods and he will do so at the right moment.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“I would sincerely regret, and which never shall happen whilst I am in office, a military guard around the President.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“We’re in greater danger today than we were the day after Pearl Harbor. Our military is absolutely incapable of defending this country.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
