===National Guard===
Supplementing the national defense of the Legion and Navy is the 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 Castellanara 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.

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 [[Xalen|Xalen Province]] administered jointly by the Generalissimus of the Legion and the Rector Indicius of Caphirian Intelligence.
