The Imperial Soldiers were released in 1989 along with the Pirates. They were the "good guy" faction to the Pirates, and were the protectors of the Carribean. They were led by Governor Broadside and Lt. de Martinet, and their only goal was to capture or kill Captain Redbeard and his crew. The Imperial Soldiers lasted until 1993, when the last Imperial Soldier set was taken off the shelves and replaced with the Imperial Guards

[edit] Details
The Imperial Soldiers often found themselves outgunned and outsized on the open waters, their largest ship, the 6274 Caribbean Clipper, was only half the size of the 6285 Black Seas Barracuda. But their fortress, 6276 Eldorado Fortress, was an impregnable fort that could withstand any bombardment.
They caught Bo'Sun Will during the "Golden Medallion" comic book, but the pirate managed to escape. The Imperial Soldiers fought for years with the Pirates, but no real winner was ever determined.
[edit] Flag
Their flag was a blue flag with a large white cross that divided it into four small blue fields at each of the corners with black fleurs-de-lis on them and with a crown and crossed cannons in the center.
The small version was a blue flag with a white cross that has a black fleur-de-lis at its center
[edit] Uniforms
All of the soldiers uniforms were blue jackets with crossed white belts on their chest. They also wore white pants. Most were armed with rifles, but higher ranking officers and troopers often carried swords and pistols.
