Star Company is an independent realm.
This is the rulership position for the realm.
The Captain of the Star Company is the commander of its forces, in war and in peace. On the battlefield and in camp. It is he that negotiates all contracts.
The Company of the Star is a Free Company. They are a disciplined and skilled, if admittedly a small, Company of mercenaries and adventurers. They are by no means a national force and its members display a wide range of backgrounds and origins, though most seem to hail from the corelands.
The soldiers that make up their Lances are a varied bunch, but most are recognisable units from the various Kingdoms of the corelands. There are Ascalonians, be they men-at-arms clad in harness of hardened steel or stubborn longbowmen with their characteristic longbow. There are Eldamari Lancers, with less armour than their Ascalonian counterparts and used to fighting more akin to the Imperial cavalry of the Erstes Imperium. Eldamari crossbowmen are a common sight. Less common, but not wholly unknown are the soldiers equipped like Imperial spearmen and their feared light cavalry. Small amounts of Rathgari warriors have been seen amongst their number, though they are often a temporary addition.
The Company is well-equipped enough to fight smaller independent campaigns or as part of a larger force. They may act on their own upon the battlefield to either harass the enemy or take and hold important positions.
