Defensores Imperii (on the defensive side), Propugnatores Imperii (a bit more aggressive). There is also a word Tutores, but I think of that as someone who protects or guards a person rather than an empire.

 

There wasn't really a distinction in ancient Greek between 'kingdom' and 'empire'. How about Phylakes tes basileias (Φυλακες της βασιλειας), meaning roughly Guardians of the realm?

I don't know what you mean exactly with "guardian", but I would say "Custodes Imperii"..a more comprehensive term, semantically speaking (in my opinion).

I agree. Custodes is the best word in this case i think ^^
