The JIM had been formed, Japae's military. Its would follow King Ju's every order. It would fight off all enemies, protect all Japaens, and destroy every threat. Through whatever means necessary. And how did JIM work? It had a very unique social structure. One that could not be beat.
Lord. The Lords were to be made up of the strongest of the strong, of power which almost met King Ju's level of power. There, in the beginning, were only about twenty-five Lords.
Samurai: The Samurai were those under the Lords, each Lord having about fifty Samurais. Where-as the Lords gave orders and strategically analyzed battles, Samurais often would lead the battles.
Ashigaru: Under the Samurai. Your typical footsoldier.
Shinobi: Stealth soldiers.
Sohei: Fleet runners. Upon construction of Japae ships, these are the members of the crew.
