The Vetokite Armed Forces, formally known as His Majesty's Dominion Armed Forces, are the military forces responsible for the defence of the territories of the United Dominion of Vetok. They also promote the VUD's wider interests through both conventional military means as well as peaceful engagements, support international peacekeeping efforts and provide humanitarian aid where required. The VAF is composed of four key elements, with the Vetokite Army, the Vetokite Dominion Navy, and the Vetokite Air Force forming the bulk of the organistion throughout its listed history. The newest part of the service is the Strategic Weapons Command, which bears responsibility for both the nuclear counter-force deterrent employed by the United Dominion, as well as all aspects of military-space activity.
