The Imperial Army is recruited and supplied locally and falls under the direct authority of the regional governor and their appointees. The quality of training and equipment varies considerably from territory to territory, from poorly armed conscripts to advanced forces that can rival Imperial Stormtroopers. The Imperial Army is not generally concerned with law enforcement (that duty falls to the local constabulary) but they stand ready to put down large-scale public unrest and combat full-scale insurrection as well as defending from external threats.
