Exonoma Crusaders

The Exonoma Crusaders (formerly known as the Exonoma Military Alliance) is the land based branch of the Exonoma military. It's founding date is unknown, it's headquarters are located on Blackstar which is in orbit of Armaydanis. In the Crusaders there are 3 classes: 'Crucesignati', 'Templarii' and 'Magnificum Dominum'.

History
The Exonoma Crusaders were created during their Fourth Era when they reached space, at that time it was known as the EMA. Its duty, as every military has, is to protect its nation against hostile threats. They use a wide variety from melee weapons to energy rifles.

Joining the Crusaders
Any Exonoma can enter the Crusaders, they either do this for fame or to escape social exile (in some cases when an Exonoma has commited a serious crime they can be exiled unless serving in the military for several years). A career in the Crusaders can end due to the following possibilities: he/she becomes unfit for duty, he/she is discharged or they die.

When they have joined the Crusaders they will serve most of their life on bases and ships (when transported)

Military Vows
When joining an Exonoma has to take a vow, when being promoted they have to take another vow.

Crucesignati
"Now I have registered for duty, I hereby swear on the blood of my father and the blood of my children, that I will do anything to fight for our salvation. To keep our empire standing and taking every opportunity to enlarge it, I will keep on doing that until I cannot fight any longer, be it through death or discharge."

Templarii
"Years of duty have enlarged my view on the galaxy, I know what is necessary to keep our empire standing. I know what it costs to keep it safe and I know that I will give my life. The honour of being granted the title 'Templarii' has shown I am devoted to Theyri's cause and the cause of the Chranegla's and am prepared to make sacrifices, be it my own."

Magnificum Dominum
"I lead, but I still serve. I have been granted the task and the honour to take decisions for the empire, to represent it's intrests, voice and strength. My men are the strength in my arm, I am the power of the empire's mind, I am but a connector between the army and my superiors."
