Malazan Military:
See Main Article: Malazan Military
The Malazan Imperial Military is responsible for defending the Empire's borders from invaders, governing its provincess and conquering new territories.
The Imperial Military is divided into:
- The Army, the Empire's offensive land forces
- The Navy, the Empire's offensive and defensive naval forces
- Garrisons, which govern the Empire's territories and maintain an Imperial presence
There are also a large number of minor organizations which remain seperate from the Imperial forces but remain under the command of the Empire. For example, cities such as Hissar have their own Guard forces. Additionally, there are many factions or specialized units within the larger military organizations which specialize in a particular role or have a notable history.
With the expansion of the Malazan Empire, the Imperial Military organizations have become diverse, with recruits accepted into the ranks from across Quon Tali, Seven Cities, northern Genebackis and more.
