Military:
Every New Dornalian citizen is obligated to serve two years in the Armed Forces. The main branches are the People's Navy and the Red Army.
The Navy is responsible for commanding the space fleets that defend ND space, and through its Naval Aviation Arm branch, commands fighters and close air support. The Army is responsible for ground warfare; initially independent, recent changes have made it very subordinate to the Navy, whom it depends upon to go places......though it has made recent strides in technology.
Currently, due to a state of High Alert, 50% of all ablebodied individuals in the Workers State are on active military duty with either the Army or Navy; 15% of all persons are in reserves, mainly the People's Militia, reserve forces akin to the US National Guard, trained to defend New Dornalia, provide fresh troops, and engage in guerilla actions against invaders, and Naval Home Guard, where ships based for home defense are based.
Another branch, some 25%, is the People's Acolytes. They are New Dornalia's answer to the Jedi, see the "People's Acolytes" section for details.
5% total Available forces are Mercenaries, mainly Kroot and Kol'Tssein Lizardmen, hired for their strength in battle and their ferocity.
