Coalition Guard

Coalition Guard
The Coalition Guard is the main force of the Coalition on land, consisting of officials who take the roles of town guard, police officers and soldiers variously. They can be identified by their signature blue uniforms and brass badges that bear the Coalition's symbol.

The Guard was founded in 499 AC, when the Coalition first established Imara following their victory over Ulthir. While their naval prowess was well-known - and arguably the reason they became a world power to begin with - their ground forces were lacking. The Coalition Guard was formed as a solution to this problem.

Since the Coalition felt the need to establish the Guard very quickly, given the lack of law in most places across the Great Dark Sea and the still-present threat of Ulthir's lingering necromancy, they cast a very wide net as to who they would hire into their new force: the Guard. To this day the Guard is home to people of all backgrounds, and from every walk of life.

Hierarchy
The Guard's hierarchy is similar to that of a police force, though its specifics differ. Senior officers within a division take specialised roles that suit their skill-sets and the community they serve, allowing the Guard's varied members to be used to its fullest.

From lowest-rank to highest, the hierarchy is the following:
 * 1) Officer.
 * 2) Constable.
 * 3) Sergeant, or a specialised role. Guard divisions have seen many titles for these roles in the past, some even unique to the individual. These have included Chronicler, Detective (or Investigator), Enforcer, Mancer and more.
 * 4) Chief Constable. The organisational head of a single town or small local area. Will sometimes have a Deputy Chief Constable beneath them.
 * 5) Superintendent. Organises a larger district of divisions.
 * 6) Deputy Commissioner. Second-in-command of the Guard.
 * 7) Commissioner. Head of the the Guard. Since its founding in 499, the Commissioner has been Haster Dommel.

The Sabres
The Sabres are a select unit of the Guard specifically tasked with the protection of Fleet Admiral Griselda Raleigh. Their name comes from the ceremonial swords each Sabre is given as a mark of their status and responsiblity.
