High Command Permanent Residence: Juneau Shipyard, Alaska
Premise: They are an Armada of the Liberty Navy. They maintain state control in systems claimed by Liberty, patrol border systems and assist in law enforcement.
They have absolute belief in the righteousness of all that the Republic of Liberty stands for. The First Armada prefers to rush to the vanguard of all military operations, many would say recklessly, in blind faith of their orders.
They leave no stones and new opportunities unturned in their quest to keep peace and order and enforce the Liberty Law, stop smugglers and assist in the expansion of Liberty's values to new regions. They care more about the principles of upholding the Law rather than the income from monetary fines.
Recent additions to the Armada, are the Raptors, these individuals will hunt out smugglers and also lwa breaking individuals within Liberty territory. Keeping the citizens of Liberty safe and free from contraband smugglers who deal their wares undr our noses. Upholding the law and protecting innocent transports who are preyed upon by Pirates. These individuals do not engage in combat unless they necessarily have to, and will protect any citizen they can and help them to safety. Making sacrifices may be necessary to protect civilians and it is their intention to do so under extreme circumstances. They are lead by an individual who is both passionate and ready to deal with any situation thrown their way, Raptor Commander VANGUARD and will ensure his operatives are ready in any situation.
Another recent addition to the Armada is, Spectre squad.
Thes individuals are ruthless and to put it bluntly wreckless towards individuals who threaten Liberty. All combat scenarios are practiced and training levels of these individuals is nothing short of relentless. Every day setting scenarios and making sure they are ready for anything.
If you come to Liberty to pick a fight, these individuals will be the first responders on light vessels and will also instigate more appropriate vessels if they are needed to back up their mission.
Spectres are lead by an individual, SHOCKWAVE, who like the Raptors Commander, will make sure these individuals are dealt with in a manner that suits the situation. Not every situation will be ideal for these operatives, but as a first response they can assess what assets will be needed to deal with the threat. These pilots have been known to go against many attackers alone and can come out victorious.
Highly trained, highly motivated to succeed at their role. If they are disabled, be warned these individuals will come back for more again one day and will be ready to seek their duel.
Their Commander leads by example, and has trained many of them to be the best of the best, and our other combat trainers are also impressed with their skills.
The First Armada will accept individuals who are ready to train hard and protect Liberty at all costs. There has not been any serious war outbreak in a long time, and improving the Armada is always the first thing on Admiral Van-Leers mind.
Individuals who show promise will be shown the right values to becoming high ranking officers and also those who excel can be put in charge of squads and other areas of the Armada.
The Armada seeks peace, tranquility and safety towards all civilians who visit the borders and enter our systems. Making sure that we can protect, prevail and ensure we give the people of Liberty a place to be proud of, whichever system we may be needed.
You are expected to be taught the basics of duty by our officers. You simply make your first steps in the First Armada and learn, often by mistakes how to advance to the crewman.
So you passed the Naval Academy at West Point and are eager to fly your newly acquired ship.
In this rank, you will experience all you learned in theory on the field. Patrolling, enforcing laws, low-level duty on warships, chasing smugglers, and who knows, if you get lucky you may even get a chance at arresting an actual high-ranking criminal or hostile! (Hope you put some time in the simulator on West Point)
You have been working, patrolling, arresting and chasing criminals all around Liberty.
Thanks to your efforts there are less drugs, guns and slaves in Liberty.
You know how to work the laws in the field and learned the tricks of smugglers and maybe got into a dance with some highly wanted criminals.
Now you are ready to be the backbone of the Fleet. As a junior officer you will take part in direct combat operations, lead and educate crewmen, and be ready to take more responsibility aboard warships.
You have earned your wings. Its is time for you to start feeling like you are really in command. You are starting to take charge of Gunboat class vessels and gain experience as part of the Command Information Centre on our finest warships. As Lieutenant the Admiralty expects you to make smart decisions on the field as this is your exit from Low Command and step into Mid Command of the Armada.
Ensigns are looking up to you and high ranking officers watching and assessing your performance on the field. You are important and your commanding presence can be felt whenever you enter the room.
You are considered a commanding officer. You are starting to be given responsibility for dealing with stakeholders across Liberty - other fleets, corporations and others. This is the role where you start to be the Commanding Officer of warships and squadrons.
Everyone looks up to you. You command multiple squadrons, lead missions you yourself often commission. The Command Information Centre of warships is your frequent home. You take initiative in directing stakeholders in Liberty and are fully trusted by the Admiralty to do so autonomously without much oversight. In wartimes you can even command entire battle groups in the field in case of an absence of higher ranks.
Welcome to High Command. The Captain of the Armada is an experienced pilot who knows how to lead multiple battle groups if necessary. You name is known not only to your fellow heroes but Liberty's enemies too.
Lower ranks admire and look up to you hoping one day to be Captains themselves. You are fully entrusted to speak on behalf the First Armada in all matters but those that really must involve the Admiralty. You are expected to be the Commanding Officer of not only most warships you set foot on, but also everyone assigned to their group.
The Commodore is ready to organize large-scale operations and mold the First Armada. You frequently recruit and promote new officers when you reach this rank, have given out custom awards and are ready to take charge whenever required.
You are the Admiralty. You make the highest-level decisions. In the First Armada, you are not expected to only sit behind the desk. Our admirals unless consumed by their High Command duty are fully expected to lead by example on the front lines. They even perform low level patrols to motivate the officers under their command whenever they can and charge head-on in battle on their commanding vessels.

Freelancer,
Good day,
It appears the record of our previous communication has been lost - my sincerest apologies.
You were marked a wanted criminal over a month ago due to breaches of law 5.1 and lack of compliance - we don't want you to be surprised when you are shot down.
[07.12.2023 16:35:20] 1st|LNS-Warden-Beta: CO: Cur your engines please
[07.12.2023 16:35:41] 1st|LNS-Warden-Beta: CO: I repeat, cut your engines
[07.12.2023 16:35:43] Caliban: Mind your own business.

[07.12.2023 16:37:31] Caliban: That's a little harsh for effectively stopping /after/ exiting a Jump Hole.
[07.12.2023 16:37:54] 1st|LNS-Warden-Beta: CO: "Mind your own business" isn't exactly cooperation
[07.12.2023 16:38:02] 1st|LNS-Warden-Beta: Fine stands, you have 15 seconds
[07.12.2023 16:38:09] Caliban: No, thanks.

[07.12.2023 16:46:39] Caliban: Yeah, well. I owe that one 10.000 Credits now. Apparently.
[07.12.2023 16:47:02] [R]-Hemlocke: [There was an amused chuckle] They're taking up piracy now?
[07.12.2023 16:47:10] Caliban: Leads me to believe that one particular Navy fleet will be on my ass for a while.
You may still pay the 10,000 fine to 1st|Bank and confirm you understand and will comply with the Laws of Liberty to have your status removed.
