The smallest tactical unit in the Galae is the Ae (Wing). An Ae consists of five Warbirds and a luht'Ehrefv (Auxillary Squadron) . The Ae is commanded by an Enarrain and is the smallest unit capable of sustained, independent operations. The luht'Ehrefv consists of a variable number of supply craft, transports and smaller warcraft and is commanded by a khre'Riov. The individual Warbirds of an Ae are often sent on assignments that may carry them away from the rest of the Warbirds in the Ae but most Enarrains are carefull not to scatter their ships too widely.
A Kala'thei (Strike Force) is the next largest unit and consists of two Ae. A Kala'thei is commanded by an erei'Enriov and only deploys as a formation when a situation calls for extreme firepower. The erei'Enriov will usually try to keep his two Ae within a sector or so of each other.
A Legaei (Legion) is the largest unit in the Galae. It consists of two Kala'thei and is commanded by an Enriov. A Legaei has a strength of twenty Warbirds and over one hundred other vessels. It is responsible for the protection of a large proportion of the Empire. There were three Legaeiin up until the Tal Shiar/Obsidian Order incident, where the better part of half a Legaei was destroyed. At the present, the Legaei Plaeh (Blood Legion) which consisted mostly of vessels seconded to Tal Shiar control, is undergoing reconstruction as a Galae Legaei, a move which has angered the Tal Shiar. The newly commissioned Ae Sienae (Sword Wing) is the first Ae of the Kala'thei Plaeh (Blood Force). Kala'thei Plaeh joins the old Kala'thei Aehallh (Ghost Force) which contains the remnants of the Legaei's Tal Shiar controlled-vessels .
