House Storingeen of Luwyin
General Information
  • Leader: Duchess Freja var Storingeen
  • Ducal Governor: Count Esir Karhorz var Sudreim-Hjemstaf
  • Capital world: Luwyin
  • Executive branch: Senate of Luwyin
  • Military:
    • Ducal Fleet
    • Ducal Guard
    • Office of Security

The Duchy of Luwyin located in between the Trans-Galactic Road and the Great Whip is an extremely bureaucratic duchy of the Imperium with sizable wealth but also, quite a corrupt senate. Since the coronation of Freja after her father’s death in 2016 3SA, with the help of her brother Akad, she managed to root out the corruption within the Office of Security, but even with his brother’s efforts, the senate is still loomed by bribery. Thanks to it’s tradition of discipline and honor both the Fleet and Guard have managed to stay clean, with top brass from both of the services cracking down on corrupt guardsmen and fleetmen with execution if caught.

Its foreign policy -even during the age of chaos that is beginning to take place within the Imperium- still resembles that of Freja’s father, Duke Odiros II, who was an avid supporter of former Emperor Shriram Morghanos IV and a loyalist. So after his death, Freja and House Storingeen will most likely stay loyal to the imperial family and its close relatives.

The duchy’s wealth primarily comes from its trade, services and shipbuilding. Its trade vessels and convoys are well protected from pirates, and its routes like the Traverse located near its capital world, Luwyin are heavily taxed. The duchy has an extremely wealthy 1%, a middle class with a fairly good standard of living, but most of its working class are below the poverty line.

As far as its shipbuilding, the Njorvin Ducal Shipyards are the most famous of all. Its most famous ship, the Rexlarus-class Patrol Carrier, is the perfect ship for the Ducal Fleet’s anti-piracy operations. Loaded with a mixed squadron of dropships and fighters, a contingent of Ducal Guards and a duo of light railgun batteries and smaller point defense systems, it can operate completely independently and conduct long range patrol and convoy defense missions.

Most of the worlds in the duchy located within the habitable zone contain large oceans, an abundant amount of tropical islands with rocky terrain, are extremely prone to large amounts of rainfall and have a nitrogen-oxygen rich atmosphere. Luwiyn -despite its position as the capital world of House Storingeen- still retain its large seas and oceans. Most of its shipbuilding and its small manufacturing industries are located on barren desert and arctic worlds.

The Ducal Guard's Insignia

Overview

The Ducal Guard (Luwyini: Hertogsvakt) is the primary armed force of the ducal military and serve as an expeditionary marine corps and as planetary defense force. They are usually garrisoned on Fleet vessels and planetary bases. The primary organization of the guard is a regiment, compromised into larger legions. A regiment is mostly made up of 1 planets citizenry. Smaller units, based on the Ducal Fleet's ships are called Expeditionary Detachment and are usually made up of the best of the best of the HV. There is also an auxiliary force of the HV, the Guard Police Authority (Luwyini: Vakt-Polismyndighet), which operates as a local police force and supplements the HV garrisons on planets and orbital stations. House Storingeen ever since its founding in 1382 3SA has contributed troops to the Imperial Starfleet and Legions

Bureaucracy

Chain of Command
Central command of House Storingeen's armed forces lies within the Military High Council (Luwyini: Militär-högrådet). This council, located within the heart of Vinhelm, consists of several high lords of the HV and the Fleet. The honorary title of Lord Marshal (Luwyini: Herrmärschalk) is only given to the most disciplined and professional of generals and admirals. Under the High Council, there is the Military Senate (Luwyini: Militärsenat), which contains both commanders of Guard Legions and admirals of the Ducal Fleet. This senate dictates military policy, but could be overruled at any time by the Lord Marshal. Every guard legion is made up of several regiments, with each legion supported by a small contingent of Fleet warships and a detachment from the Marine Reconnaissance Force (Luwyini: Marine-Rekognoseringsstyrka) of the OSEC. Each Legion is then controlled by a Major General, who has control over the regiments and military installations under the jurisdiction of the legion

Order of Battle
In total there are 7 Guard Legions. The main fighting component of a legion is the Shock Regiment. These are the bread-and-butter standard infantry formations of the guard. Notable units include the Jörnfik 16th Shock Regiment and the Daarholm 6th Shock Regiment. The VII Legion, located on Luwyin contains the personal guard of the duchess, the Vinhelm Guard Company. This unit, garrisoned in the Resortia is responsible for the protection of the duchess and the palace.
