Servothian Imperial Military

The Servothian Imperial Military (German: Servotten Reichsmilitär) , archaically the Servothian Grand Imperial Military and Militia, and initialed as SIM (German: SR), is the umbrella force of Servothian military branches. It is part of a federalized system of command, as the topmost and broadest of groupings, with its' leadership headed directly by the Servothian Crown.

History
The original organization from which the SIM descended existed as a militia assembled under the of König Heinz Krauss III, King of the Servoth Nord and ancestor to Kaiser Heinz Krauss IX, whom used the group for simple protection in his realm in the 1200s. It was later in 1434 that the militia was professionalized by König Hans Krauss V, now including a proper Calvary and knights included, along any number of trained soldiers that he could find, some of which included mercenaries. His son, König Hans Krauss VI, would start the first of many successful military campaigns to expand the area surrounding the Servothian Nord, breaking into the weakened and battered tribes and fellow kingdoms.

By the early 1600s, the Lesser Servothian Empire had secured a large area of what is today modern Servoth, what it had not conquered, it had allied by means of proxy. This empire acted as a hegemony, the Kingdom of Nord controlling the surrounding states by means of implied threat and force. The Nord Crown finding this agreeable, officially established the SGIMM in 1620, drawing both men from the Nord Kingdom and those from its proxy states.

By the 1760s, only two power blocs remained, that of the Lesser Servothian Empire and Southern Servothian Confederacy (called the Lesser Servothian Confederation of Independent States officially), the two powers would engage themselves in a cold war, lasting until 1805, upon the full declaration of war and the beginning of hostilities. The Imperial forces would see extreme use as the Imperials pulled all forces they could find to end the war in their favor. The war would end in 1823, the Confederate forces being absorbed directly into the Imperial Military. Up until this point, the Imperial forces never had an active navy, a result of being almost entirely landlocked save for an extremely small shore. The Crown never had the ability or need to build a sea-faring force. As result, the Empire simply maintained and re-purposed the Confederate Navy as their own, seeing no point to destroy something that the needed desperately.

Upon the invention of the Airship, the SIM began building an air force using great potential for air superiority, which was later greatly improved by the Servothian invention of heavier-than-air fixed-winged aircraft in 1900.

The SIM would undergo great bolstering during escalations leading up to the First World War, gathering technology and equipment both from allies and stolen from enemies and neutral states; plus the increase of all branches in size.

The SIM would also engage in a series of military excursions from 1890 to 1909, in order to train Servothian soldiers, test equipment, and expand Servothian influence.
