The Imperial Kenega Rifles is an infantry regiment of the Vionna-Frankenlischian Imperial Army formed in 1981. Recruiting from the population of Kenega, an Imperial protectorate, the regiment consists of a single full-strength battalion and is a permanent part of the Imperial garrison of Kenega and is based at the primary Imperial outpost on the island at Port Faronham. The regiment carries on the lineage of the Kenega Garrison Rifles, which existed from 1940 until the Civil War of 1966. Though Kenega remained in Royalist hands throughout the Red Decade, all local forces were disbanded and the only part of the garrison made up of native Kenegans was the paramilitary Kenegan Auxiliary Police.
Though now only a single battalion, the IKR has had a varying number of battalions throughout its service - peaking at five in the early 90s. Two battalions saw service in the Prodavan War of 1991-93. Budget cuts forced the regiment to return to a one-battalion model in 2018.
