Galactic Alliance Defence Fleet

The Galacitc Alliance Defese Fleet or Galactic Alliance Navy was the naval force of the Galactic Alliance Defence Force.

Naval Ranks
Due to the huge difference in ship/planet ratio between each of the regions a higher standard of competency was expected the further out the region was. This was because smaller fleets on the outrim had to deal with bigger problems to security whilst large fleets near the core had little problems to deal with. Thus the more you go out of the deepcore and into other regions you would find more experinced and competent officers.

Captain
Leads a Single Starship. Captains could lead elements if order to.

Senior Captain
Lead the Section size of the naval forces. Usually assigned to protect minor hyperlane routes.

Commodore
Lead the Sqaudron size of the naval forces. Usually assigned to protect major hyperlane routes from pirates and enemies.

Battle Admiral
Lead a Battle Group size of the naval force. Usually commanded the forces in defence of a section of a region. (EG Defending Section 1 of Outer Rim Region ETC.)

Line Admiral
Lead an entire fleet in the defence force. Usually assigned to protect an entire region of space from piracy, smuggling, and enemy forces. Line admirals were appointed by the supreme commander under advise from the Chief of Naval Operations.

Chief of Naval Operation
Appointed by the Supreme Commander the Chief of Naval Operations was in charge of all naval forces. He ensured they all received the correct amount of supplies, reinforcements, and upgrades when needed. He also organized how much forces were assinged to each fleet in conjunction with with the Supreme commander. He advised the Supreme Commander on all naval matters. Approved all recomendeded promotions below the rank of Line Admiral.

Elements
A force encompassing a single starship. Usually this was a dynamic force and could be made as required usually made to take down a pirate base in conjuntion with the Starfighters Corps. elements were one of the major ways for Senior Captains to gauge there own captain's competency and assist senior captains when they needed to make a recomendation for promotion.

Section
Sections are a force emcompassing a small number of straships typically made with a combination of Capital ships and support ships. A section is usually assingned to protect minor hyplane routes that are close to or connect to the major hyperlane being protected by a squadron. Sections were also assinged or expected to investigate intelligence and news of pirate activity in areas around there areas assigned.

Fleet
A fleet were made up of Six battle Groups plus there own line up and was assigned to defend an entire region of space. Due to the area a fleet had to protect and entire fleet was nearly never seen in one place at any one time however Line Admirals would take over contol of a battle groups for purposes of conducting campaigns into enemy territory combining the Battle Group's forces with the Fleet's line up.

Typical Lineup

 * 20 Viscount-Class Star Defenders
 * 40 MC140 Scythe-Class Main Battle Cruiser

Fleets
Due to the fact that fleets protected entire regions of space the likelihood of a fleet being seen at one place all together is extremely low and a nigh impossible feat. Priorty for protection was given to worlds closer to deep core and thus an "absolute even" system was adopted. Thus each fleet was the same size as each other meaning that fleet to planet ratio in the Core was very high and thus protect whilst the fleet to planet ratio in the outer rim was extremely low. In order to supplement the huge difference in ship/planet ratio in theory planets were menat to create there own naval forces however this was often neglected by local governments in order to save finances for other sections of there budget relying soley on the centralized navy for protection.
