Military

Overview
Military action is the primary way to gain territory, and force other factions to do things.

Composition
Militaries consist of a Navy, Army, Intelligence Department, Headquarters Department, and various Unique Departments for specific factions.

The navy is responsible for space-based forces, transportation, and assets. The army handles ground-based. Intelligence handles espionage, planning, coordination, and tactics, and directly some commands special operations units. Headquarters contains all of the high level stuff like supply, HR, and recruitment.

Recruitment
Units may be recruited from the populations of planets. Some government types require troops to volunteer, but others allow recruiting anyone at will. Recruits must go through training, and players can customize the training they receive. Recruited units can be grouped into units of any size or structure. This allows players to customize their military completely, which can add to the depth of the tactical controls as well.
