Imperial Landsknechte

The Imperial Landsknechte were the military defenders of the Earth Empire.

In 2825, the War Act gave the Landsknechte full authority over their own personnel, planets and spacecraft. The Act was never rescinded.

The headquarters for the Landsknechte were on the planet Purgatory. There were also numerous and varied artificial environments on the planet, used to train the Landsknechte to be able to fight under any conditions.

There was widespread corruption in the upper echelon of the Landsknechte by the late 30th century. (PROSE: Original Sin)
