Sayqidi Imperial Armed Forces

The Sayqidi Imperial Armed Forces (Atasiqayidu: Kuvetleri Musalah Imburriati man Amirata), also known as Her Serene Majesty's Armed Forces, is the sole military wing of the Sayqidi security forces which also include a variety of organizations, including military, law enforcement, paramilitary, governmental, and intelligence agencies, and is headed by its Chief of General Staff, Vizier (Mirza) Ahmed Kamel who heads the Chamber of Defence on behalf of the Emira.

The SIAF consists of the Imperial Army, the Imperial Flying Force and the Imperial Armada. Officially reorganized in 1918 by consolidating paramilitary organizations within the Emirate - chief amongst which were its constituent sheikhdoms' various locally-raised armies and regiments that later evolved to form the bulk of the Imperial Armed Forces. The SIAF also draws upon the resources of the Military Intelligence Directorate and coordinate effort with various different Sayqidi intelligence agencies. Battle-trained through various wars throughout its history, the SIAF is often regarded as one of Gondwana's most battle-trained and flexible armed forces in Gondwana with extensive cooperation with states such as Mirhaime.

The Head of the Armed Forces is the Sayqidi Emir(a), currently Scheherazade, to whom members of the forces swear allegiance. Long-standing constitutional convention, however, has seen this executive authority, by the exercise of royal prerogative, shared with the Grand Vizier and the Vizier of Defence. Her Serene Majesty, Emira Scheherazade, makes the key decisions on the use of the armed forces. The armed forces are overseen by the Defence Council, and managed therefrom.
