36th Imperial Area Army

The 36th Imperial Area Army is an imperial-level area army based on Sado, Niigata. Part of the 2nd Niigata Army Group, its headquarters are located in Aikawa City.

The 36th forms the 2nd Army Group's expeditionary force along with the 6th Niigata Area Army. As an imperial-level unit, the 36th is the preferred choise for off-world deployment.

History
The 36th Area Army has its roots in the 3rd Imperial Army Group, which was part of the force that invaded Niigata during the First War of Imperial Unification. Following the war and the establishment of the 2nd Niigata Area Army, the 36th Army was detached from the 3rd Imperial Army Group and paired with the 2nd Niigata to form the 2nd Niigata Army Group. The 36th was attached for monitoring and peacekeeping purposes, but soon became the primary off-world deployment force of the 2nd Niigata.
