The Shield of Geba is an elite unit in the Geban Empire's military structure, established during the Era of Absolute Expansion as the Emperor’s personal guard, focusing on elite protection detail for the imperial family and high-value assets.
Key characteristics include highly trained operatives providing unwavering security, known for their loyalty and discretion in safeguarding against assassination and internal threats.
Post-Era of Fracture, the unit protected royals during escapes amid civil wars. In the Era of Shadow Rule, descendants became the only ones to see Shadow Rulers' faces, serving as their guards in hidden networks. During the Warlord Eras, they operated covertly to protect hidden rulers from rogue factions. In the modern era, no formal unit exists; they continue as unseen protectors in the underworld, influencing Shadow Rule's security and the overall evolution from overt dominance to covert stability, where elites like the Emperor’s Shadow and Bare Hand formed the Shadow Rulers' core.
