Main article: Pretorian Guard

The Pretorian Guard was South Africa's primary defense force which ensures the safety of her land at times of war. They patrolled the borders for enemy activity, practise local training exercises and are ready to strike the battlefield when the nation is under threat. All soldiers received regular supplies and daily training kits to rank up and gain experience in organised training battles. The Pretorian Guard was home to many of South Africa's Congressmen, cabinet, former presidents and those citizens who are committed to a political career back home.

Last known leadership of the unit was:

Commanding Officer: Brig. Gen. Vanessa1309

Executive Officer: Lt. Col. Harrin

The Assegai, like the Parabats, was a mobile branch consisting of South Africa's heavy hitting soldiers and tanks. They were an elite, rapid response branch who could be called to arms at any time during the day.

The Assegai was dissolved into the Parabats in 2010 due to low numbers.
