Confederate Navy

The Confederate Navy is the military arm of the Black Star Confederacy charged with maintaining security in Confederate space.

It fields more than 250 vessels of varying size.

Specific responsibilities of the Confederate Navy includes defending Confederate citizens from space-based threats such as pirates, smugglers and other armed governments, enforcing Confederate will, and overseeing commerce through customs and blockade operations. The Confederate Navy also performs orbital bombardments, transports major ground force deployments, and supports them with space and aerial support.

The Confederate Navy conducts itself by the Confederate Naval Code, a set of martial laws and regulations created to guide the massive military organization. The vast majority of personnel in the Confederate Navy are humans or Decuri, although other species are also in the service.

Marine Corps
The Confederated Marine wears a distinctive black uniform and helmet. Instead of relying on the Confederated Army to protect its vast number of warships, the Confederated Navy created this corps of deadly and well-trained warriors. Besides acting as soldiers, they serve as security, handle hanger traffic control, monitor sensor arrays, and other duties when their combat skills are not required. With their technical skills, they use them to maintain the Confederacy's facilities. They are also assigned to defend key installations.

The members of the Confederate Marine Corps are selected among the men and women of the Confederate Navy. After going through a gruelling six-month training programme similar to that of the Confederate Army, those selected for the Corps are then deployed to whatever units are in need at the moment.

Naval Specs
All Naval personnel is trained over a period of nine months. The first three months of the cadet training are spent at one of several Military Academies. Then the cadet will spend four months onboard a naval vessel, before returning for two months of training at the Academy, and final exams. If the cadet graduates, he or she will receive the rank of Able Rating, with the chance to rise to Warrant Officer during his career.

During training, the cadet will retain the rank of Rating.

Officer Cadets spent an additional 24 months in training, 12 of which are spent onboard a naval vessel. After graduating, the cadet will receive a promotion to Ensign.

The standard naval sidearm is the AT-1 or AT-2 blaster pistol. Heavier weapons are kept in onboard lockers.

Special Boat Service
These troopers are specifically trained for zero-G combat and ship actions. Posted with the Navy, they are the elite assault troops for boarding actions. Wearing space armour similar to that of the feared space-troopers of the Empire, these soldiers float across space to deal out their special brand of combat. Also used for planetary scouting missions in advance of landing army units.
