Ailon Military Ceremonies
The Ailon Military Ceremonies was an annual event undertaken by the Ailon Nova Guard. The event was widely covered by galactic news sources and included holofeatures, fireworks, laser displays, flying displays, mock battles, feasts, parades, and festivals. One of the most prestigious events on the military calendar, the Galactic Empire always sent units of stormtroopers and elite army and navy units to participate.[1]
While allied with the Galactic Empire, the Ailon Military Ceremonies became the focus of the Nova Guards' duties. Despite being an effective military force, Imperial High Command left the Ailon in reserve, forcing them into an enforce peace. During this time, the Nova Guard trained, upgraded its equipment and observed the Ceremonies while waiting for duty.[2]
