Sai-renian Infantry

The Sai-Renian infantry is known all throughout Torién as elite, well-organised and effective. The Sai-Renian infantry has been used in almost every battle and/or war that Torién has ever seen. It is the largest fighting force apart from that of Anarsibria and perhaps Necropia seeing as the number of soldiers there are always unknown.

The Sai-Renian infantry has been almost exclusively invlolved in: The Necropic War, The Ovate War, Raider's Passage, Fight for Beyond, The Exploration of Muluyuza and The Portal Incident.

The Sai-Renian infantry has also been used in domestic, civil disputes such as riot control, militia response, mercenary attacks and civil wars (notably The 3000AS Civil War).

The Sai-Renian infantry has also been involved in helping with the aftermath of natural disasters and helping with supply runs in under-privilaged areas.

Torién's Imperial army is mostly made up of ex-Sai-Renian soldiers and also have the most Sai-Renian soldiers in it apart from any other nation's contribution. The Sai-renian infantry is very complex with its ranking, structure, tactics and terminology. The Sai-Renian government strongly pushes for civilians to join the Sai-Renian military.
