The Senate makes no secret of its military intentions to the national and foreign press. Statements to the public freely admit: restraining foreign powers, overthrowing threatening regimes, and destabilizing national foes. The central strategic goals of the Legion and Navy are defense of the Imperium at all costs and pursuance of Caphiria's policies by non-political means. These constitute the heart of Caphiria's armed forces. | The Senate makes no secret of its military intentions to the national and foreign press.

[[File:Castellanae-01.png|thumb|A group of National Guardsmen]]Supplementing the national defense of the Legion and Navy is the [[National Guard (Caphiria)|National Guard of the Imperium]] (''Castellanae Imperiae''). Its primary instrument is the web of forts (''castrum'') dotting the Imperium. At least one operates in each province, supplying between 1,000 and 5,000 c''astellanara'' to its protection. A single castrum is administered by a base commander (''Praefectus Castrorum'') of the same rank as centurions. His authority over his assigned base is typically respected by higher rank officers (like ''Duces'') but can be overridden if necessary. | [[File:Castellanae-01.png|thumb|A group of National Guardsmen]]Supplementing the national defense of the Legion and Navy is the [[National Guard (Caphiria)|National Guard of the Imperium]] (''Castellanae Imperiae'').

Besides the guardsmen based in a castrum, new legionary recruits (''tirones'') and reserve legionaries (''adscripticii'') reside there to prepare for deployment to replace fallen legionaries. Legionaries themselves are based in special castra specific to each legion. One particular base, the [[Castrum Arzercavalli]], is tucked away in the mountains of the [[Magenevum|Magenevum Province]] administered jointly by the Generalissimus of the Legion and the Rector Indicius of Caphirian Intelligence. | Besides the guardsmen based in a castrum, new legionary recruits (''tirones'') and reserve legionaries (''adscripticii'') reside there to prepare for deployment to replace fallen legionaries.
