ZebraM Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Does anyone know the size of the Solar Auxillia in terms of manpower? I know it's said to be 20-25% of the entire Imperial Army but does anyone have an actual size? Also does anyone know the average size of an Expenditionary Fleet in terms of ships and troops?

Brother Heinrich Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Nothing officially. Expeditionary fleets varied wildly in terms of size and resources. If you're looking to write fluff you'd probably be fine with whatever number you decide to use.

Remus Ventanus. Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 wasnt the SA roughly 30 % of the IA? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/314816-solar-auxillia-and-expeditionary-fleets-questions/#findComment-4195239 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBOcaster Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 A Solar Cohort at muster would be around 120,000, with several thousand support staff all of whom would fall under a Marshal Solar. Then the Cohort is broken down into sub-cohorts of 1,200 each with a Legate Commander or other type of commander depending on the age of the role of the sub-cohort. Cohorts and Expeditionary fleets are a 1:1 ratio.

ROBOcaster Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 As far as ships I have no Idea. In writing my fluff I only ever focused on the Flag ship, their like named characters in that since.

Marshal Rohr Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 There are more cohort in a fleet than a 1:1 ratio. Also, most SA cohorts are garrisons and not expeditionary forces.
