'The Armed Forces of Amador' are the unified branches of military defense charged with protecting the sovereignty of the Alfar Imperium. The AFA consists of four major branches: the Grand Army of Amador, the Imperial Navy, the Imperial Air Force, and the Coastal Defense Force.
The four uniformed military branches each have assigned roles and domains critical to the integrity of the Imperium. The Army conducts land operations, whereas the navy and its subsequent branches conduct maritime operations such as littoral operations and power projection. The Air Force conducts aerial air operations, be it in hostile areas or to assert influence. The Coastal Defense force acts in a maritime function and closely works with the navy, though it also functions as a law enforcement agency in peace time situations and conducts peacekeeping missions in Amador's waterways.
The Armed Forces have played an integral role in Amador's history since its inception and throughout its many dfferent iterations over the millennia. They help to forge a sense of national unity through countless military victories over the centuries. In ancient times, the armed forces were chiefly responsible for helping to forge the empire of the Alfar that persists and thrives into the modern age. In the contemporary era, the armed forces have overseen a period of remarkable growth and prosperity for the nation.
The Armed Forces of Amador are considered one of the most technologically advanced and powerful in Gholgoth, with its primary focus currently centered on curbing Scandinvan aggressions. Because of its vast size, budget, and training, the armed forces possess significant powerful projection capabilities throughout the world among its territories and overseas bases. The Imperial Navy is the largest branch, followed by the Army, Air Force, and Coastal Defense Forces.

Imperial Command Structure
The Imperial Navy is the Alfar Imperium's maritime forces and are responsible for defending the Imperium's interest abroad and locally, protecting its sovereign interests. The Imperial Navy operates an active and reserve force, while also being the primary component of maritime warfare operations for the Imperium.
The Imperial Navy is organized under the Ministry of the Navy, a sub-branch of the Ministry of Defense, a military department under the leadership of Imperial Government. The navy itself is led by a chief of naval operations, both of whom retain the rank of admiral.
The Imperial Navy has three primary goals in its operation:
- Power Projection
- Sea Control
- Maritime Security
The Navy's main missions are as followed:
- Provide power projection capabilities through global strike systems to ensure the sovereignty of its mainland and territories abroad while also protecting key interest abroad through nuclear and conventual means; whilst providing capabilities in interception and interdiction, and maritime means.
- Establish, maintain, and defense home and international bases while supporting seaborne naval, land, air, and amphibious operations as required.
- Carry out nuclear operations as the need arises to support deterrence; includes nuclear maintenance, safety, and improving capabilities.
- Provide support for joint operations between varying branches, while also support and improving on existing naval operations.
- Conduct missile defense throughout its territories and in protection of its allies and naval fleets.
Surface Forces
The Amador Surface Fleets are the backbone of Amador's naval power, representing significant numbers of vessels and their logistical counterparts. Their primary mission is to project power through the use of carriers and arsenal ships while ensuring the integrity of Amador. Its primary means of doing this is through the operation of aircraft carriers, with Amador having a storied history of naval aviation. The carrier is the centerpiece of Amadorian combat power.
The surface fleet operates hundreds of surface combatants, from destroyers and frigates to carriers and arsenal ships, to littoral vessels as well. Cruisers and destroyers often operate in conjunction with their fleet command to form a missile shield for anti-aircraft and anti-submarine operations. They also conduct sea control .The surface fleet also operates amphibious warfare ships to support amphibious operations.
