Federal Republican Interseller Fleet
Goals
Overview
The “navy” of the Federal Republic, it consists of the ships and bases that the fleet maintains to enforce the will of the Federal Republic on the space it controls. The main responsibilities of the Fleet are to protected the routes for commerce among the member worlds, and to a lesser extent to enforce compliance within the Federal Republic of member worlds.
The most common interaction of people with the Fleet is either seeing it on patrol in space, or at one of it’s many bases located close to major intersections of commerce. Fleet ships generally attempt to remain in the background, preferring to use a lighter touch. The exceptions are active blockades against rebel worlds, or aggressive patrolling threatened routes. The Fleet will visibly increase its presence in an attempt to intimidate bad actors back to compliance.
The fleet is organized into squadrons in each sector, and these squadrons are organized as needed in each sector. Core sectors often have a more formal and regimented organization due to the lack of threats, a more formal display. Outer sectors, especially those near the rim, will often have less regimented organization due to the need to adapt to specific requirements of their sectors.
