The sole organization within known galaxy with the capacity to train and equip Astaris.
Organized under direct supervision of the Empire Military Wing, all Sadari Adepts are required to perform compulsory service for the Imperial Astari Corp as either practitioners or artificers.
Imperial military organizations are usually commanded by a lieutenant general but, due to the civil service nature of artificers, the Astari Corp is lead by a Secretary General. The Secretary General precedes two Deputy Secretary General who each oversee the military activities of practitioners and production activities of artificers.
Astari Practitioners serve as the face and forefront of the Empire Military Wing as its elite fighting force and propaganda machine.
In addition to major combat advantages, the Empire’s control over Astaris grants a far-reaching moral boost through constant exposure of Astari related media, carefully curated by the Empire Administrative Wing (commonly referred to as "the administration") for maximum impact.
One significant proposal by the administration was the change of Astari uniform. The original ceremonious uniform was switched for a style emphasizing the Astari’s place as part of Imperial military mixed with superhero-esque elements for public relation purposes.
Astari Artificers produce Astari equipment and refines Sadarin Crystals required for manufacturing high-quality Sadari Arms.
Though practitioners are most recognized, many argue the advanced weapons crafted with refined Sadarin Crystals are the greatest contribution to Empire military superiority.
Dark systems outside Empire control may have Sadari Adepts among their population but an adept without proper training and equipment infrastructure doesn't amount to anything.
All of which are located within the Sadarin System seized by the Empire after passing the Astari Supervision and Protection Act in tandem with Operation Hunting Season.
Any dark system Sadari Adept who wishes to utilize their abilities have no choice but to join the Imperial Astari Training Institution(IATI) where they will be conscripted into the Imperial Military and forced to change citizenship.
A less recognized function of the Astaris is the ability to eliminate Beyonders.
Monstrosities of unknown origins, conventional firepower can damage Beyonders but they will always regenerate back from their core which can only be destroyed by an Astari blade.
Astaris are also immune to the infectious nature of being in proximity of a Beyonder cementing the Astari Corp as the sole organization capable of containing calamitous, though rare, Intrusion Events of a Beyonder outbreak.
