Vampad Army

Used for foreign intervention and peacekeeping, the Vampad Army is well equipped and trained for a number of combat operations. The Vampad Army lives by the old maxim "he who defends everything defends nothing" and places only peace-keeping garrisons on most worlds. The Vampad Army (similar to the Vampad Navy) instead primarily congregate at key strategic points across Vampad space, ensuring that they can respond with fast and overwhelming force, supported by forces already on the ground.
