The types of branches are defined in Corpora -

representative(s) of the Crown

• Canton: local branch reporting through a barony
• Riding: local branch reporting through a province
• College: institutional branch based at a school, research facility, etc.
• Stronghold: institutional branch based at a military installation

situations where groups of members will be detached for long periods, as 
with ships at sea
