@MsPolite, please edit this post to include any OOC information

 

[ONI]

Personally I think you should just use Cohort in place of Brigade and Century in place of Company

 

[MsPolite]

@Rajiit[/URL] are you still interested?)

 

[Artemiss]

Yes, I am! Sorry, I'm in the process of getting into college, so I just haven't had time to write my response yet >.< I'll be sure to do so a little later this evening!

I just want to let you know I'm rebooting the rp. from the start. I think it would be better that way

 

[Artemiss]

Alright, that's fair enough. Should I use the same characters, or create new ones?

that is up to you. I'm using the same characters you can if you want or make new ones. I will probably like any character you make xD

 

[ONI]

My bad about the characters, I didn't know there was a full lore and timeline.

[/QUOTE]
lol, it's my bad bro. yeah I have a semi established lore, I just need to post it. xD

 

[ONI]

Also which backstory needs to be more heavily edited the Unit history or character backstories?

[QUOTE="Lord Shaxx]Also which backstory needs to be more heavily edited the Unit history or character backstories?

[/QUOTE]
the unit back story needs to be redone to fit the timeline. the soldiers can stay mostly the same. refer to the time line for help. thank you. x3

 

[Artemiss]

Alright, I think I'll use my pre-existing entities, and add one more to make it a little more interesting c:

 

[ONI]

@MsPolite Any better?

 

[MsPolite]

yes. well done and thank you

@MsPolite[/URL] Any better?

 

[Killorkiller]

This still open?

Imperial army structure
Imperial Republic Army


^


Legions


^


3 Cohort = Legion


^


4 Regiments = Cohort


^


5 Centuries = Regiment


^


Squads (no defined number) = Centuries of about 100 soldiers

You don't actually need to list Regiment in between Century and Cohort since Centuries go directly into Cohorts and Cohorts into Legion.


I believe squad is Contubernium


True Roman Legion organisation, just if you want to look, there are a few things not listed like the Archers, Cavalry and Artillery as well as Auxiliaries.


8 Men = 1 Contubernium

Spoiler

A Contubernium consists of 1 Decanus, 7 Legionaries and 2 Clerks


(Regularly stated as 8 since they do not include clerks)

• 1 Decanus (or Manu in this case), essentially a modern day Sergeant/Squad Leader and the most senior legionnaire in the Contubernium.
  
• 7 Legionnaries (Ranging from Nequam to Pauci), basically your two fireteams in terms of modern day
  
• 2 Auxiliary Clerks, basically they'd be the people who ensure they've got food and water or that their mules are taken care of.
  

10 Contubernium = 1 Century





A Century consists of a 3 Man Command Element, 80 Decani/Legionnaries (10 Contubernium) and 20 Clerks


(Regularly stated as 80 as they do not include Command and Clerk personnel)

• 1 Centurions (or Hastam in this case), basically your Century commanders.
  
• 1 Optios (I am assuming Equo is equivalent?), basically the Drill Master and Second in Command of a Century.
  
• 1 Signifers (I don't think you have a position for that), basically the Signum bearer, like a Napoleonic era Ensign who carries a flag but instead is a pole with a bunch of metal circles.
  
• 10 Decani (or Manu in this case).
  
• 70 Legionnaires (Various ranks below Manu).
  
• 20 Auxiliary Clerks.
  

6 Centuries = 1 Cohort





A Cohort consists of a 18 Man Command Element, 480 Decani/Legionnaries (6 Centuries) and 120 Clerks


(Regularly stated as 480 since they do not include Command and Clerk personnel)

• 6 Centurions (or Hastam in this case)
  
• 6 Optios (I am assuming Equo is equivalent?)
  
• 6 Signifers (I don't think you have a position for that)
  
• 60 Decani (or Manu in this case).
  
• 420 Legionnaires (Various ranks below Manu).
  
• 120 Auxiliary Clerks.
  

10 Cohorts = 1 Legion





A Legion consists of a 189 Man Command Element, 4800 Decani/Legionnaries and 1200 Clerks.

• 1 Legatus Legionis, overally legion commander.
  
• 1 Tribunus Laticlavius, A young senator holding the second command of the entire Legion appointed by the Emperor.
  
• 1 Praefectus Castrorum, head of camp training and most experienced Officer in the Legion generally.
  
• 5 Tribuni Angusticlavii, basically administrative officers.
  
• 1 Aquilifer (There is no direct equivalent in this RP), they carry the Eagle Standard for the entire Legion.
  
• 60 Centurions (or Hastam in this case)
  
• 60 Optios
  
• 60 Signifers
  
• 600 Decani (or Manu in this case)
  
• 4200 Legionnaries (Various ranks below Manu)
  
• 1200 Auxiliary Clerks

thank you for that, but I'm not seeking to be accurate as the empire is loosely based on the Roman Empire but has a whole another aspect. the unit structure was mostly to give myself and others something else. thank you though.

Roger that, well I guess you could switch Regiment for Maniple, they're not really of the size of a Regiment in Roman history but since they're slightly bigger than a Century but smaller than a Cohort, I think the term would fit but that's if you want to keep the Regiment organisation slot.


Contubernium -> Century -> Maniple -> Cohort -> Legion

 

[MsPolite]
