Armada is the standing military force and administrative apparatus of Esperanto, serving as one of the Three Pillars of the empire. With approximately 5 million personnel, Armada functions as both the primary military defense against external threats and the internal law enforcement and governance system across Esperanto’s territories. Following their decisive victory during Incursion, Armada was revealed to possess the most powerful military force in known history, fundamentally altering the balance of power in Hanaq.
