==History==
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 [[Order of the Sentinels|Sentinels]] and the [[Chamber of the Crypteia|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.
 
In 1643, the relatively youthful (At 13) [[Adam Ayreon-Kalirion]] was appointed Magister Militum of the [[Palatini Corps]] as one of a number of moves that seemed to be intended to tighten the grip of the [[Kalirion Khanate]] of [[Goldshire]] and the [[ESB-Jörmungandr Group]] over the city during the absence of [[Kaiser Dominus]] on an extended state visit and tour of the continent of [[Eura]].
 
In 1644 the strength of the Palatini Corps was drastically cut from 75,000 to 24,000 with the expulsion of the Scholae from [[Raynor's Keep]] by the Commissioner of the Crypteia, [[Tokaray al-Osman]] during the Kaiser's absence in Elwynn.
 
Following the [[Oustfest Massacre]] the command structure and organisation of the Palatini Corps was thrown into confusion. In the aftermath the Steward's Guard, the Crypteia and the Sentinels were counted as part of the Corps to prevent the failures in communication and inter-unit rivalry which had permitted the coup-plotters to undertake their conspiracy. As a consequence the force was increased to a nominal strength of 38,200.
 
In late 1655, as the war with Jingdao and Passio-Corum ground on interminably, the size of the Palatini Corps was increased to 48,000, half of whom were Palatini, supported by a equal number of auxiliaries. Much of the heavy weaponry of the Palatini Corps had been released to front-line formations during the so-called War of Lost Brothers, leaving the corps increasingly reliant upon [[GAV(U)-4 Jackalope|Jackalope]] runabouts, which in turn were transferred to the Batavian Front after the destruction of the 5th Legion.
 
In 1656 the long-term acting commander of the Palatini Corps, the legate Henricus Kalends, was confirmed in post and promoted to the rank of Magister Militum.
 
Beginning in 1658, the Palatini Corps was first in line for new equipment rolling off the production-lines in [[Mishalan]]. In the same year Magister Kalends was obliged to resign for reasons that were nowhere recorded in the official record. His replacement, the Magister Harry Payne, was a rarity - an officer promoted and ennobled from the ranks after purchasing his own commission.
 
On 11.VII.1660 the Palatini Corps was ordered by [[Steward]] Mira Octavius-Aryani to cross the border into [[Alalehzamin]], then gripped by a [[Nationalist and Humanist Party|Humanist]] uprising, and secure a buffer zone roughly contiguous with the borders of the old Imperial County. By 12.XI.1660, having been brought up to strength with obsolete artillery and small arms released from Benacia Command, the Corps' Magister was finally able to report to the Steward's Tower that the Scholae legions were ready to advance.
 
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.

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.
