Forças Armadas do Império Estelar Mairano

The Armed Forces of the Mairan Star Empire (Lusophonic: Forças Armadas do Império Estelar Mairano) serve as the unified military command of the Mairan Star Empire's armed forces. It is comprised of the Imperial Armada, Imperial Army and, by extension, the Imperial Military Police. The Armed Forces, in their current state, are defined in Section 11 of the Imperial Constitution of 537 EI as "responsible for the prosecution of wars, protection of peace, enforcing of order within the Empire, and defense of the nation."

The Armed Forces wield significant influence over government, particularly through the Corte Imperial, which by the provisions of the Imperial Constitution must correspond with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Emperor serves as the official commander-in-chief of the military, and may oversee the prosecution of operations on his behalf. The military itself, however, is largely overseen and managed by the civilian Minister of Defense and the military Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The Armed Forces are largely dominated by the interests of the Imperial Armada, which is primarily responsible for spatial endeavors, while the Imperial Army largely exercises a terrestrial role.
