The army is mostly segregated based on race, and platoons of soldiers are trained based on their race to put their skills to maximum use.

Elven Troops
While Adele and the Scientarians are not technically elven supremacists, many of the families from the Silver Tree Forest tend to be the wealthiest members of the empire. Elves that are in the army tend to have been in the army since the revolution or earlier, and thus are battle trained and crack veterans, though some younger elves do get involved as well.


 * Privates: Elven Privates are given years of training before they are allowed into the field. As elves tend to be so flighty and long-sighted, they need longer to become soldiers. They are usually put into positions partnered with skilled veterans to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't get killed too quickly. As elves can live for over 500 years, it is considered more important to keep elven soldiers alive as their training can be put to use for a longer period of time if they last. They are given similar rifle training to other privates, but their greater dexterity they tend to be better shots.
 * Scouts: Elven Scouts are rangers that are trained for a particular terrain that they are going to be stationed in, and are trained with favorite enemies of the enemy nation they are going to be pitted against. Again, the long lives of Elves helps with this training, as they can spend years preparing for a particular mission location and enemy type, and so the army has platoons of elf scouts for essentially every known terrain and foe.
 * Cavalry: Elven Cavalry units evolved out of the aristocratic units of the Silver Tree Forest. These soldiers tend to use mounts that are effective in forest conditions, such as Elks. Equipped with a breastplate, a rifle, and a cutlass, they are mostly skilled at riding through rough forest terrain and then launching an infantry attack. In open cavalry country, the armored elks are sent on a full charge with their gore attack at the ready while the cavalry shoot the foes.
 * Demolition Engineer: Elven Alchemists are some of the most well known scientists and explosives experts in the world. An Elven Alchemist soldier is trained as an engineer and demolitions expert.
 * Snipers: With their incredible patience, elves make excellent snipers. The top snipers in the military are all able to wait for days on end to get their shot.
 * Master Alchemists:

Human Troops
Humans are the most abundant race in the empire, so poor retches are often given some of the most dangerous jobs with the knowledge of plentiful reserves.

 * Grenadiers: Elven Alchemists have long worked towards the development of more powerful explosive bombs. Grenadiers are not alchemists themselves, but are specially trained soldiers that use alchemic bombs.
