I wrote up a series of troops strengths, for 1624 pre Pennel and post, showing Imperial and provincial force dispositions, its a bit anachronistic for Whitewall but it might help.

Imperial forces in Dragon Pass
Formations under arms in the Dragon Pass Region 1625 prior to Dragon Rise on Earth/Harmony/Clay

Note: Some units show in more than one place, this is due to division into different vexilla. Most units follow the standard of 1000 men for infantry and 500 for cavalry but are listed here without their depot or temple company which typically stays in their base town or city back in the Empire. Some units have also sustained attrition that has yet to be made up from new recruits training back in the Empire.

Hope this helps, I can work out the forces in the Whitewall area in 1622, they would simply be more concentrated and potent than those above.
