Tagmata

The Tagmata is one of the many specialist units within the Imperial Army. It is also known as the Imperial Guard or Palace Guard and acts as the guard units of the Holy Imperial Government. These are six units that guard high-ranking officials and members of the government, honour guard duties, undertake security duties for government buildings, parades, guard mounting and accompany delegations abroad. However, they are also combat troops and have been deployed to areas of conflict in the recent past.
