Turian Military

The Turian Military, known as the Imperial Armed Forces to the turians themselves, is the state military service responsible for the defence of the Turian Empire and its client states. It is at the centre of turian society, acting as an all-encompassing public works organisation, whose mantra is "service equals citizenship". Additionally, it contributes to Council peacekeeping efforts and provides material and logistic assistance to its allies in times of disaster. The turian military is renowned for its superior firepower and the formidable discipline of its soldiers. It is the leading military power in the Milky Way galaxy.

The Imperial Armed Forces consist of: the Imperial Navy, an FTL-capable fleet, together with its Marines, a highly specialised amphibious light infantry force; the Imperial Army, the empire's principal land warfare branch; and the Imperial Air Force, a technologically sophisticated air force with a diverse operational fleet. Its commander-in-chief is the Primarch of Palaven, to whom members of the forces swear allegiance, regardless of colonial origin.
