Army/Legends

The term Army can of course, indicate a wide range of military formations, ranging from the warbands of a few hundred soldiers used by the clans and tribes of stone-technology-level worlds like Endor and Dathomir, to a Galaxy-spanning war-machine with billions of troops. But within the Imperial Army of the Galactic Empire, the term Army when used on its own indicated a distinct level of formation, commanded by a full General, and consisting of a nominal total of 193,644 front-line soldiers in an establishment strength of 293,686 personnel.

Until the last years of the Empire, an Army was rarely deployed as a single formation on a single planet, but it was designed to operate in concert with a standard Troop Squadron of the Imperial Navy, and deployment of the entire formation together began to be considered as the Rebellion grew in force after the Battle of Yavin. More usually, an Army would deploy subordinate units to specific battlefields or theaters: its primary subdivisions were four Corps, any one of which was considered sufficient to retake a rebellious world.
