Reorganization of the Spiritus Defense Force

Thanks for the avvy Wuufu! xD
Since its creation, the Spiritus Defense Force has been a pillar of our regional success...making a difference in many operations and defending the regional sovereignty of regions from The Imperial League to Osiris. However, with growth and success comes the need for change. We've been struggling with a number of structural questions over the past few months, such as how an organization that could technically both raid and defend co-exist, what power the MoD has to reject applications, and how to best ensure that secret operations remain secret.

After lengthy discussions between both the War Council and the Cabinet, I feel that the best solution to these issues is to split the SDF into three Divisions as so:

The Arcane Guard
Over the past several months, Spiritus has become better-known for its long-term influence building operations, particularly in Osiris with The Horus Expedition. The Arcane Guard would oversee our long-term and piling operations, which would be best suited for our troops that can't be around at update. It will be the most open area of the SDF, with a public forum, and will be the perfect place for defenders who are just starting out, or those that need to prove their commitment to Spiritus and defending before being trusted with more secretive update operations.

The Night's Watch
The Night's Watch will consist of our core group of update defenders. These are the people that can be on at update and are interested in participating in defenses and liberations. This Division will have access to a private forum similar to the one the entire SDF has today, and applicants to this Division will be thoroughly screened and scrutinized before being accepted. The Minister of Defense will have authorization to reject applicants to The Night's Watch for any reason he sees fit, which will help to ensure the security of our operations. Additionally, members of The Night Watch would be forbidden from raiding as part of any military.

The Crimson Order
Although the SDF is known for it's defense operations, the time may come where the SDF will need to participate in invasions and raids as part of a war. This Division would be for those members of the SDF that are willing to participate in such operations, and would be the most secretive division of the SDF...not having a forum at all. When needed, the leader of The Crimson Order would make private arrangements with members to conduct raiding operations, ensuring the most security possible.

Shortly, a new SDF application form will be posted with the new divisions. Current members of the SDF will need to reapply, listing the divisions that they want to join and taking the appropriate pledge for it. SDF members may apply to multiple divisions, but should be sure that they can meet the obligations and ensure the secrecy required of each division! Those that are found to be leaking SDF operations, either raids or defenses, for an external organization will be charged with treason and other applicable charges, which carries the maximum punishment of permanent banishment from Spiritus. I believe that this reorganization will allow us to better dedicate resources to our operations and in turn make them more successful than they already are.

Thank you for reading this announcement. Hail Spiritus!

-Inric Nordrim Stark (Wintermoot of Spiritus)
-President of Spiritus

I forgot to mention in the original announcement, members of The Night's Watch will be forbidden from raiding as part of any military unless it's against a target Spiritus is at war at. My apologies.

Ah, the Crimson Order. Very nice.

TSR - I imagine it won't. You'll just be Something Wizard, Arcane Guard or whatever. Don't quote me though, I'm just guessing. :P
