Integratoriate Direct Force

The Integratoriate Direct Force is a military branch of the Integratoriate, responsible for planetary combat (including orbital defence and assault, as well as terrestrial operations) within the territorial space of the Hierarchy. It is distinct from the Aerospace Force, the combat branch, and the Astroexploration Corps, which conducts exploratory, scientific and diplomatic missions, though it overlaps and works closely with both.

The combat arms of the Direct Force include the Land Corps, the Aerospace Corps, the Garrison Corps, and the Naval Corps. The Direct Force also employs a number of special and paramilitary units, such as the Direct Force Shock Troop and the Direct Force Security Group.
