The Republic Armed Forces is the military branch of the Republic of the Sphere.
Like in all Successor States, there also exist further forces in the form of police, civilian guards, armed nobles, and private or corporate security forces, all of which can take the form of veritable armies.
Besides these, the Republic also maintains Knights of the Sphere. They are the immediate agents of the Paladins' and Exarch's executive branch, usually acting as aides, military liaisons to local militia commanders, or commanders themselves. After the dissolution of the Republic of the Sphere following the Battle of Terra, any remaining personnel were taken as bondsmen and assets would end up being absorbed into Clan Wolf in preparation for the ilClan Trial.
