The Imperial Navy
The Navy is a state of the art machine of war, constructed using money and minds across the galaxy, stemming from various initiatives, some that had their foundations laid with the Bogan in their infancy, others being much more recent. The fleet itself is designed with the best technologies available to be of devastating efficiency. Whilst not as vast as the legions available on the ground, the ships are mainly designed to be faster and more maneuverable than their enemy, to punch holes in lines of battle, deploy their legions on the ground, outpace fleeing enemies and to take advantage of the slower moving enemy.
The ships on the whole are designed slightly smaller than their Hutt and Republic counterparts, but this is not to their detriment. They carry complements of star fighters, bombers and troops, as well as shields that require less energy to protect their smaller surface areas, and powerful broadside and forward facing weapons.
The Navy comprises of 600 capital class vessels (the types of which are outlined below), along with support vessels in the way of corvette, freighter, dropship, fighter and bomber class ships. 500 of these are fighting ships (200 Deus class cruisers, 200 Fulmine class destroyers, 100 Legate class frigates) along with 100 Angel Class carriers. There are also three Imperator class flagship vessels, one belonging to the Emperor, one to the High Lord and one to the Bogan. Although the three in question do not always command the fleets in person, their ships are a symbol of their presence on the battlefield.
The crews of the capital vessels number at around 925,000 naval officers and technicians. Along with support staff piloting corvette, shuttle, freighter, dropship vessels, and manning fighter and bomber squads, the standing personnel of the fleet numbers over 1,000,000.
