The Palatini Corps (ïa Bivarhins Uihmanz) is an elite branch of the Imperial Forces. Originally an independent corps of the Imperial Army, it was transformed into a distinct force late in the reign of Ayreon IV.

The Palatini Corps has ultimate responsibility for the defence of the Imperial County, forming the core of the Central Banner Group of the Benacia Command. It also provides personnel and resource support for various independent-operating state security organizations, namely the Sentinels and the Crypteia. During the Kalirion Fracture, the Palatini Corps remained loyal to the Golden Mango Throne, consolidating itself and absorbing other loyal Imperial Forces units deployed throughout the Shirekeep region.
