The Imperial Ossyrian Army was the terrestrial armed forces deployed by the Ossyrian Empire from about 2680 CE until 2987 CE. Under Aegan (ruled 2680 - 2720), the army consisted of legions, and eventually auxilia.
By the end of Aegan's reign, the imperial army numbered some 250,000 men, split between 7 legions and 215 units of auxiliaries. The numbers grew to a peak of about 450,000 by ---, in --- legions and about 400 auxiliary units. By then, auxiliaries outnumbered legionaries substantially. From this peak, numbers probably underwent a steep decline by --- due to plague and losses during multiple major conflicts and confrontations. Numbers were restored to their early 2nd-century level of c. 400,000 under Melicertes (r. 2868-2893).
After the Empire's borders became settled by 2818, virtually all military units were stationed on or near the borders.
