Royal Orun Army

The Imperial Legion is the main ground force of the Enlightened Empire of Tarsas. The organisation was first established in 843 after the collapse of the Praetorus Legion, the army of the old empire. It is among the most technologically advanced militaries in Pardes, spending a large amount of money per soldier. The military is under direct command of the Emperor of Tarsas and the High Commander of Tarsas.

Machine Guns
GMG36	Tarsas	General Purpose Machine Gun	File:GMG36.jpg	Produced during the Imperial Wars. Thousands were lost or abandoned. A number remain in storage for reservists and police use.
GMG42	Orun Redisus	General Purpose Machine Gun	File:GMG42.jpg	Developed during the Imperial Wars as an improvement for the GMG36. Countless thousands were produced and lost in the fighting. As a result, the gun is one of the most prevalent in international arms trafficking markets due to the significantly number of old weapons that still function and the ease of production. Commonly issued to reserve regiments.
GMG65	Orun Redisus	General Purpose Machine Gun	File:GMG65.jpg	Modernization of the GMG42 introduced in 1965. Issued to the regular forces exclusively and normally not to reservists.

Towed and Stationary Artillery

Name	Origin	Type	Photo	Notes
M19105X Howtizer	Tarsas	Towed Artillery Gun
Standard Mark V Artillery Gun	Orun Redisus	Towed Artillery Gun
SH305	Orun Redisus	Siege Artillery		Siege defensive artillery built into emplacements on the Bahktaric and Maradi borders. There remains a staunch opposition to removing them from the borders due to their historical role as some of the most pivotal defenses against enemies. The guns technically remain in service but are nominally maintained and the emplacements are no longer staffed. Ammunition production ceased in 1955 and hasn't resumed since. It is unlikely the Legion would staff these guns or use them in an event of an invasion.

Armour

Name	Origin	Type	Photo	Notes
Tanks & light tanks
T13125 Atlos	Orun Redisus	Main Battle Tank		Latest indigenous MBT developed to decrease reliance on foreign suppliers. Used alongside the T80125 in Legionary armor formations. Set to be the primary MBT of the Legion by 2016.
LT95125	Tarsas	Light Tank		The LT95125 is a powerful light tank equipped with a 125mm smoothbore compact gun. It is capable of moving across rough terrain quickly and protected well for a light tank. The vehicle is capable of engaging in combat against other armor with a reasonable chance of success. It is equipped with a highly advanced fire control and active protection suite, which serves as its defence against enemies since it is a light tank.
T80125	Orun Redisus	MBT		The T80125 was the primary MBT of the Legion until the introduction of the Atlos. Tarsan forces have over 4,000 different tanks, some in service, some in storage. All will be replaced by 2028. An MRLS system has been built based on old chassis.

PC86MG	Orun Redisus	Armored Personnel Carrier		Light apc developed by the now closed Ashfel Armour Works for use with the Legion. Several problems emerged such as an unreliable engine and a problematic transmission and the issues have caused the military to seek a replacement as no more variants can be designed with the closure of AAW. Only 500 of the vehicles will be maintained in reserve units and police forces and will be upgraded with an engine and transmission from Alderia Automotive.
PC12V	Orun Redisus	Armored Personnel Carrier		Accepted replacement for the PC86MG. Production began in 2013 and only 12 units have been delivered. Initially produced with a dual 12.7mm BMG heavy machine gun mount. Other variants will be made available with other armaments.

Engineering Vehicles
T80EV	Orun Redisus	Engineering vehicle	File:ENV.jpg	Engineering vehicle based off of the T80125. Two sub variants, one equipped with a dozer blade and crane and another equipped with a heavy bucket scoop, were produced from 1984 onward.
