Trianarö Planetary Forces (A1-0)

The Trianarö Planetary Forces are the military forces of the Holy Imperium of Trianar responsible for planetary combat, including offensive and defensive action. TPF tactics rely heavily on armor, quick maneuver tactics and artillery and air bombardment.

History

The TPF's tactics are rooted in the Origin War between the Ikaranarean Colonies and the Kruxkil Empire. The Ikaranareans, being less numerous and physically outmatched by the Sycriûn, developed a range of armored units that were able to outmaneuver and overpower the infantry-based Sycriûn formations. These tactics only grew over time as technology was improved and new tactics made its efficiency on the battlefield grow exponentially.

A small-scale planetary invasion will consist of 5 combat groups and 3 battle groups, while there is always at least 2 of both stationed on any planet and more for more important planets and systems. On planets similar to Earth in land surface area, Planetary theaters and Air theaters are used, and for water area, 1-2 fleets would be used depending on whether the planet contained sapient ocean creatures.

Tactics

Every planetary invasion starts with the TPF starts with the elimination of enemy aerial forces. They will not send a single troop carrier down until air superiority has been achieved. After the initial air battle, troop carriers will bring down divisions specialized in pushing and surviving damage. This causes enough chaos for ground forces to arrive.
