Actually, the retired veterans is an issue I didn't think of. Considering the dangers of the occupation I would say that about 1/3 never reach the age of retirement. 1/3 may perhaps stay on at the training compounds as instructors etc. The remaining 1/3 is a problem. They definitely don't fit into normal Kralorelan society. They might settle as private combat teachers, become highway women or whatever. I'm not sure how the empire handles this matter. Suggestions?
