Estellion Sky Empire Military

By order of Imperial Edict 199-882 every male in the Estellion Sky Empire is required to enlist in the Estellion Imperial Navy at the age of ten. The edict was repealed and replaced by Imperial Edict 200-017, which allowed more of a choice between organizations and allowed some lower-class families to be exempted from enlistment. Though four years minimum of military training was required by age 22 for those exempt from enlistment.
