All UNP member states have their own militaries, some even have the last remnants of independent space forces (though by now token obsolete forces). The UNP via Epiphany, the NS body what works across the UNP, has begun renaming these individual militaries as New Sparta Territorials. These will remain separate forces, and funded by the relevant home planets, but will adopt standardised communications and command protocols to enable them to work with and support New Sparta.
Over time these territorial forces will also standardise with NS weapons such as the DAR-L1 laser rifle. The head of the NS armed forces Zeppelin has said these territorial forces will be a valuable back-up and support in future operations. In a trial exercise last year, he said, a regiment of the Solaris National Defence Force successfully worked alongside NS Terrestrial Forces.
