The '''[[Royal Officer Corps]]''' was a proposed military organization in [[Westarctica]]. Although plans were made for the creation of the unit, it was never actually formed as a fighting force. In 2005, [[Grand Duke Travis]] was urged to create a military unit by numerous members of the [[Grand Ducal Cabinet]] and the [[Baronage]], including the [[Baron of Havola]], who pleaded with the Grand Duke that there was an urgent need for a functioning military (even if it was only a small one). The creation of the [[Minister of Defense]] was phase one of the establishment of Westarctica's military, and the office was given to [[Duke of Waesche|Wolf Tulier]], a citizen of Westarctica since 2003.
The '''[[king penguin]]''' is a large species of [[penguin]], second only to the [[emperor penguin]] in size. King penguins eat small fish, mainly lanternfish, and squid. They are less reliant on [[krill]] and other crustaceans than most [[Southern Ocean]] predators. On foraging trips king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 meters (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 meters (1,000 ft). King penguins breed on the subantarctic islands at the northern reaches of [[Antarctica]], South Georgia, and other temperate islands of the region. King penguins do not live or breed in [[Westarctica]].


As Minister of Defense, Wolf Tulier also served as the head of the Royal Officer Corps, utilizing his experience as a soldier in the U.S. Army to guide his leadership of the Corps. Shortly following the creation of the office, Wolf appointed the former Baronet of [[Brandenberger Bluff|Brandenberger]], [[Baron of Lee-Tearmunn|Troy Thompson]], as Deputy Minister of Defense to assist him in getting Westarctica’s military into marching order. Although the Ministry of Defense planned to host training camps for prospective members, the Royal Officer Corps gradually became a footnote in Westarctica's history. In 2017, their function was replaced by the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]].

The king penguin is a large species of penguin, second only to the emperor penguin in size. King penguins eat small fish, mainly lanternfish, and squid. They are less reliant on krill and other crustaceans than most Southern Ocean predators. On foraging trips king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 meters (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 meters (1,000 ft). King penguins breed on the subantarctic islands at the northern reaches of Antarctica, South Georgia, and other temperate islands of the region. King penguins do not live or breed in Westarctica.
