Yamataian Imperial Royal Guards

The Yamataian Imperial Royal Guards (王宮衛兵) are the royal guard of the Empress of Yamatai. They are responsible for the protection of the Empress, the Imperial House of Yamatai, and their properties. The Imperial Royal Guards currently consist of 936 personnel, of which 777 are armed guards. As per tradition, the number of armed Royal Guards on the register is fixed at 777, but this number does not include civilian contractors, police personnel, or other security personnel protecting the Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Royal Guards are not to be confused with the Yamatai Imperial Army's Imperial Guards units, which are bestowed the name as an honour. In, the distinction between the names of the Imperial Royal Guards and Imperial Guards is clearer.

Organisation
According to tradition, there are always 777 Royal Guards at all times, due to the significance of the number 7 as a symbol of luck in Yamataian culture. In the modern day, the need for auxiliary and administrative personnel have expanded the ranks of the Guards to 936, though the primary component of the Royal Guard is still officially maintained at 777. These 777 personnel are divided into seven 111-man Butai, each named after one of the.

Besides the seven cohorts, the Imperial Royal Guards also maintain a supplementary paramilitary tactical unit for anti-riot and hostage rescue purposes. The Royal Guards also have four modified helicopters for transportation purposes, including for the transportation of the Empress.
