nAVAL fORCES

    The Royalist Alliance has for a long time not produced any of its own vessels, instead putting money towards purchasing WarShips from allies like the Outer Colonies and renovating old Star League era boats, many of which were found derelict in fringe systems, Shattered Worlds being the most famous “bone-yard”. Data from the Succession Memory Core allowed Royalist shipyards to rebuild these ships to their former status. This trend is turning, however, with the laying down of plans for the massive Battlestar-class super-carrier, capable of carrying four squadrons of Aerospace fighters.

    Construction of the first of these mighty ships, the HMS Alliance, is due to be completed by the end of September 3063 at the Ildis and Connors Naval Yards, Cuxhaven orbit.

    Due to the slow military rebuilding effort after the 2^nd Colony Wars, further compounded by the splitting of the Royalist Peace Corp Divisions into separate regiments, the overall security of the Alliance was firmly in the hands of the Royal Navy between 2912 and 2977. The Navy quickly gained a good reputation amongst the populace of the Alliance, and it is still naval personnel who are idolised over other servicemen, even MechWarriors.

    The Royal Navy operates a flotilla of combat DropShips too numerous to specifically list here.

    As a footnote the Armed Mercantile League is a non-military concern equipped with combat capable vessels, mostly used to protect high-value shipments. Occasionally ships from the AML are called into active naval service but this has not happened for over 70 years now. The most the AML ships are required to do now is, aside from their own business of course, to provide Command Circuits for rapidly moving regiments and politicians. The League is paid well for this service.
