Structure

The Streltsy Regiments are under the supreme command of the Kynaz. They are ordered into companies of levies and professional volunteers. Each regiment is comprised of three companies of 50 soldiers each, with one company being veteran volunteers. Each regiment takes up policing duties in each district on Dragonrock, with 7 regiments in all.
The Docks Regiment Nicknamed the Sea Dogs, the Docks Regiment keeps order in the docks ward. In addition to policing, they are used as customs officers and marines on Dragonrock's small fleet. With these additional duties, they are allowed two additional companies and are the second largest regiment on Dragonrock. Fyodor Vladislavovich Radomsky is the colonel of this regiment and is known for his strict discipline and lack of tolerance for crime in the streets and the ranks.
The Golden Regiment Comprised mostly of gnomes, this regiment is known for its proficiency with exotic firearms and artillery pieces. Since the Golden Hills district is a low crime area, the regiment can devote their time to arms manufacturing and repair. The Boyars are grateful for the gnomes expertise but is unwilling to give a gnome command of the regiment. Therefore, Nadia Stepanovna Drubetskoy is the colonel of the regiment and the only female colonel in the Streltsy. She has aspirations to make the Imperial Elven Navy's support obsolete.
The Celestial Regiment Headquartered in the Celestian District, this regiment has special jurisdiction to provide security for religious building and protecting the religious institutions on Dragonrock. Unlike the other regiments, the Celestial Regiment breaks its companies down further into detachments in order to protect six of the eight temples in the city. It is the only regiment headed by a person not of the Radomsky or Drubetskoy families. Instead, Ilyia Yaroslavovich Mishkin is the colonel as the regiment is not very prestigious and he is known as a bit of a religious fanatic.
The Landed Regiment Forming the backbone of the Dragonrock military, the Landed Regiment is called such because it is the sole population of the War Fields district. It is the largest regiment with twelve companies of 100 soldiers each. The courtyards of the imposing red stone buildings here are parade fields and training grounds. Since crime in the War Fields is dealt with via the military commission courts and the district restricted to members of the regiment, the Landed Regiment takes up the policing duties in the rest of the city not covered under other districts, called the Immediacy since it is immediately subject to the Boyars and not the district administration. The colonel of the regiment is Dimitri Denisovich Radomsky, famous for his jingoism and distrust of elves.
The Rynda Regiment While it is the smallest regiment, it is the most professional and experienced of all the regiments. Entrusted with the protection of the Government District and the Boyars and their families. The colonel of the regiment is the enigmatic but charismatic Vasil Stepanovich Drubetskoy, the youngest colonel ever to command the Rynda Regiment or a Streltsy regiment overall.
