Soldier
Package Type: Basic
Package Source: WHFRPG2e
Every province and city-state in the Empire maintains its own army, trained and equipped at its own expense. Together these regional forces make up the Imperial Army, though they are often supplemented with milita and Mercenaries.
These soldiers are full-time paid professionals, usually drawn from the sons of the Peasantry and Burghers. They man the Empire's fortresses, patrol the borders, and repel invaders. Most are trained with either the halberd or the firearm. Although dominated by the Nobility, the Imperial Army also promotes based on merit and it is possible for the occassional lineman to rise through the ranks to a position of authority, despite the bigotry and elitism of the majority Noble officers.
NOTE: Imperial Dwarfs and Halflings are usually formed into their own units
