Fractured Earth (Divisions)

5th Division
Warden



An elite protective division tasked with guarding high-value Imperial figures. Their formations emphasize layered defense, prediction systems, and rapid interception.

They ensure absolute survival of designated protected individuals through proactive threat elimination and defensive containment. Their focus is prevention rather than retaliation.



Established following a series of high-profile assassination attempts that exposed weaknesses in Imperial security. Consolidated elite guards into a centralized protection doctrine. Over time, they evolved from reactive bodyguards into predictive defense specialists, integrating threat modeling systems that now define Imperial VIP security standards.

9th Division
Hellguard



A fire-based assault division focused on thermal destruction and controlled burning of fortified positions. Their operations are methodical and ritual-like in execution.

They specialize in siege breaking, fortress clearing, and area denial through extreme heat and incendiary warfare. Their objective is to leave nothing structurally viable behind.



Created after repeated failures in siege warfare where traditional artillery could not dislodge fortified magical defenses. Developed into a dedicated thermal annihilation force. Their early “clean burn” operations reshaped Imperial siege doctrine and made controlled environmental destruction a standard strategy in fortified engagements.

12th Division
Nightfall



A covert anti-supernatural strike unit built around stealth, silence, and total concealment. They operate like moving shadows in urban and ruin environments, relying on low visibility armor and precision tracking systems to hunt entities that conventional forces struggle to detect.

They are designed to eliminate vampires, cursed beings, and arcane anomalies with absolute finality. Their doctrine rejects capture or negotiation and focuses entirely on rapid identification and complete eradication of supernatural threats.



Formed after multiple catastrophic failures in frontier cities where early anti-magic units were overwhelmed. Experimental anti-arcane programs were consolidated into a single division focused on silent extermination and evidence-free operations. Over time, they refined their doctrine into district-level purge protocols, becoming the Empire’s final answer to entrenched supernatural infestations that could not be contained through conventional warfare.

18th Division
CBRN



A sealed containment division operating in full hazard suits and controlled environments. They treat battlefields as contamination zones rather than traditional combat spaces.

They specialize in chemical, biological, radiological, and arcane containment. Their objective is isolation, sterilization, and controlled removal of any anomalous or infected region.



Formed after widespread plague magic outbreaks and curse-based disasters that conventional military units could not contain. Multiple research and hazard response programs were unified into a permanent containment force. Their early operations led to controversial sterilization events that shaped Imperial policy on anomaly exposure and reinforced their authority over all contamination-class incidents.

23rd Division
Stormbringer



An elite air combat division composed of highly competitive pilots operating advanced interceptors and bombers. Their culture is status-driven and reputation focused.

They maintain complete air superiority through saturation bombing, drone swarms, and high-speed interception of enemy aerial units. They specialize in overwhelming skies before ground forces engage.



Created after early aerial defeats against magical flight units and airborne creatures. Centralized all Imperial aviation assets into a single doctrine of absolute sky control. Their first large-scale campaigns proved decisive in breaking Coalition air superiority, but also cemented their reputation for excessive bombardment in contested regions.

34th Division
Bloodhound



A relentless pursuit division specialized in tracking and hunting high mobility targets across difficult terrain. They are aggressive, loud, and coordinated like a pack that never loses scent.

They focus on long-range pursuit and elimination of evasive targets, especially elven resistance cells and forest-based insurgencies. Their methods prioritize pursuit over preservation of environment or infrastructure.



Created in response to repeated failures against elven stealth warfare and forest magic zones. Ranger units and tracking battalions were merged into a unified pursuit force optimized for endurance hunting. Early deployments were chaotic and heavily destructive, but later reforms standardized pack coordination tactics and terrain denial strategies into their current doctrine.

52nd Division
Penguin



An Arctic warfare division equipped for extreme cold environments and long-term survival in frozen terrain. Their movements are disciplined and structured, with minimal communication.

They dominate and control cold regions by turning them into frozen kill zones. They specialize in freezing enemy movement, disrupting supply lines, and locking territories into permanent winter conditions.



Established during northern expansion campaigns where frost clans and ice magic users heavily resisted Imperial advance. Developed specifically to counter cold-adapted magical forces. After initial setbacks in frozen terrain logistics, they integrated exo-environment systems that allowed sustained operations in blizzard zones and permanently altered northern frontline warfare.

76th Division
Trident



A naval and amphibious warfare division designed for underwater combat and maritime dominance. Their units operate seamlessly between surface and deep ocean environments.

They secure naval supremacy by clearing underwater zones, destroying aquatic enemy infrastructure, and controlling sea routes. They specialize in denying the ocean as a refuge for enemy forces.



Formed after significant losses to aquatic Coalition forces and sea-based magical entities. Naval suppression units were consolidated into a dedicated underwater warfare division. Early deep-sea operations were extremely costly, but improvements in pressure armor and sonar disruption eventually allowed them to dominate entire maritime corridors.

88th Division
Shogun



A precision combat division built around honor-based melee combat and high-skill dueling. Their armor and weapons reflect a balance between tradition and advanced technology.

They engage in surgical strikes, duels with elite enemies, and high-value target elimination with minimal collateral damage. They often operate where discipline and restraint are critical.



Originally formed as a ceremonial elite guard unit. After exposure to frontier warfare, they broke from traditional protocol and evolved into a semi-autonomous precision combat force. Their refusal to fully abandon honor-based engagement doctrines later caused internal friction with high command, but also produced some of the Empire’s most efficient duelist engagements.

116th Division
Anvil



A heavy siege and mechanized warfare division built around massive armored platforms and slow, unstoppable advances. They function as the backbone of ground offensives.

Designed to grind down enemy territory through sustained pressure, fortified advances, and overwhelming industrial firepower. They specialize in holding and consuming entire regions.



Formed after early Imperial siege doctrines failed against fortified Coalition regions. Heavy engineering and armored divisions were unified into a permanent siege structure. Their first sustained campaigns demonstrated the effectiveness of attrition-based warfare, though at the cost of extremely slow territorial gains.
