ΒΆ The Grand Army
The Grand Army is the infantry forces of the Haven Federation, led by a High Commander. The Grand Army are the ground forces, often deployed by crafts of the Navy with the intent of defending or invading certain areas. The Grand Army was established during the establishment of the Federation by Grand Protector Leda Portia, who recognized the importance of a ground infantry after the Protectorate capital of Grand Hope was glassed by the Black Empire in the First Galactic War. Leda Portia installed Mitchell Barnes as the first High Commander, a human who organized the Grand Army until his death from the result of a bloody duel with his political rival, Aaron Oriah, a Senator at the time. After his death, Grand Protector Leda Portia made Aurus Fidem the High Commander, a general defected from the Black Empire. He served for nearly ten years before resigning, having gained a new pacifist outlook on the world, allowing High Admiral Centam Halcard to enter the post. A Glitch of stalwart honor, Halcard killed himself after a military accident destroyed a large section of the northern forest, resulting in the death of a single civilian.
