Tagmata
The Tagmata (Anglish: "Regiments", singular "Tagma") is one of the many specialist units within the Imperial Army of Tagmatium. 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. Each unit has its own history and traditions. They are also combat troops and have been deployed to areas of conflict in the recent past, including the Cussian Crisis, where a detachment from the XXX acted as observers.
