The Royal Cybernautics (Portuguese: Régia Cibernáutica), also called Royal Ebenthaler Cybernautics, was the cyberwarfare-dedicated semi-standing military force of Ebenthal. The Royal Cybernautics was created on 5 February 2024 to replace the RRF, acknowledging the fact that the main possible threats to Ebenthal are found in cyberspace. It was a volunteer military; its members received training, but only performed active duty when necessary. The Royal Cybernautics was subordinated to the Ministry of Defense and was headed by an Admiral, while the King of Ebenthal was the force's commander-in-chief and held the ultimate military authority. However, on 24 August 2024, the Royal Cybernautics was officially disbanded and de facto reduced to a specialized cadre of the National Guard, established that day as Ebenthal's new unified military force.

Organization

Ebenthal adopts the civilian control of the military model. Royal Cybernautics was an autonomous institution, however it was subordinated to the Ministry of Defense. As a rule, the Minister of Defense appointed two senior officers and the Monarch, as commander-in-chief, appointed one of them at the rank of Admiral to the position of commander of Royal Cybernautics. Without conscription, Royal Cybernautics was a volunteer military force with enlistment from 14 years of age. At the time of enlistment, loyalty was sworn to the Crown, not to the person of the Monarch, nor to the State itself. The Tribune of Truth interprets that although the Crown actively represents the State, they are two distinct institutions, so that by swearing loyalty to the Crown, if the State transforms from a monarchy into a republic, the military are essentially relieved duty.

As a semi-standing military force, members of Royal Cybernautics had military and civilian occupations and did not performed active duty, whereas they typically serve when required, such as in trainings, missions or as diplomatic representatives.

Military rankings

The insignia and ranks of the Royal Cybernautics were defined by the Royal Cybernautics Act, which created the military force. Maintaining the ancient Lusophone tradition of Brazilian Empire and Kingdom of Portugal, Ebenthal calls the rank of Aspirant Alferes. Aesthetically, the insignia were inspired by those of Finland and Independent State of Croatia.
