The Royal Navy has been fighting a long war with Gallic rebels known as [[the Council]] since 748 [[A.S.]] over their misguided ideas that the Royal’s policy of isolation and preparation for total war of detriment to [[Gallia]]. The war ended for a time but the rebellion that started in 794 [[A.S.]] on the [[planet Marne]] is universally considered the beginning of the [[Second Gallic War]] which has continued to this day.

The current long range goal of the Royal Navy is a war to end all wars against the other former Alliance Houses. The Royal Navy has been moving forward almost non-stop building ships, researching military technology, gathering intelligence, stealing technology, and training new recruits to make war. This ultimate goal, however, was put on hold by [[the Council]] when they managed to capture the [[Languedoc]] system, break through the mine fields there and in [[Lorraine]], and make first contact with the other Sirius Houses. The Royal Navy is currently dealing with the threat of the rebels and does not have the resources to worry about the foreign houses until they are put down.

The Royal Navy spent a period consolidating its forces before pushing through the Council's blockade in Languedoc and [[Orkney]], bursting into Sirius and establishing a strong Gallic presence in Orkney, the Taus and [[Edinburgh]].

Currently, the Royal Navy is waging war on [[Bretonia]], and aims to take [[Leeds]] relatively soon. They are beset by many enemies, including the [[Colonial Remnant]] and [[Outcasts]], but have more than enough military strength to overcome these obstacles.

==Ranks==
 
==Ranks==
−
* '''Grand Marshall''': The Grand Marshall is the supreme ruler of the Gallic Royal Navy in the King's absence.
+
* '''Grand Maréchal''': The Grand Maréchal is the supreme ruler of the Gallic Royal Navy in the King's absence. This title is awarded to a Maréchal of impeccable prestige, who has proven his or her value as the Crown's most loyal servant time and time again. The current Grand Maréchal of the Royal Navy is Valérie Quétineau.<br><br>
−
* '''Duke''': A Duke is one of the greater powers in the Gallic Royal Navy. Having only the King and Grand Marshall above him, a Duke holds responsibility over a specific area in Gallia and its forces.
+
* '''Maréchal''': Second only to the Grand Maréchal herself, the Maréchal is a prestige title given to a Général who has proven him or herself worthy of this esteemed and revered position. In practice, the Maréchal is equal in rank to a Général, but only the very best can ever be awarded this title .  <br><br>
−
* '''Margrave''': A Margrave is directly responsible for the protection and immigration difficulties within a border system. A Margrave holds great responsibility due to the fact that they are in charge of keeping intruders out of Gallic space.
+
* '''Général''': A Général is a high-standing member of the Royal Navy's High Command. Holding great responsibility in keeping Gallia's territory safe from intruders, pirates, and terrorists, as well as all war-related activities within Bretonia and the Taus, a Général often commands fleet operations from a personal Valor-class battleship.<br><br>
−
* '''Comte''': A Comte is a member of a Duke's administrative staff. Holding power over a small part in his Duke's area of responsibility, all Comtes report directly to their own Duke.
+
* '''Colonel''': Colonels operate directly underneath the Générals, boasting control of naval operations within their designated solar system. They are often given command of an Obstinate-class cruiser.<br><br>
−
* '''Baron''': A Baron is directly in charge over a certain space station or planet; taking care of its import and export of supplies, as well as handing out assignments to the Royal Police and Navy task forces.
+
* '''Commandant''': A Commandant is the first senior officer rank in the Navy, and is the first step a in a Naval career that comes with real responsibility and power. Commandants work as assistants under a Colonel, but are eminently capable of commanding fleet operations by themselves.<br><br>
−
* '''Knight''': A Knight is a member of the Gallic Royal Navy that has set his or her first steps towards nobility.
+
* '''Capitaine''': A Capitaine typically leads fighter or bomber wings. They are the highest rung of the Navy low command and ensure the orders, plans, and operations set forth by the higher ranks are carried out efficiently. Many Capitaines operate as the captain of a Perilous-class gunboat, being experienced enough by now to lead a crew of this size into battle.<br><br>
−
* '''Sergeant''': A Sergeant is a respected soldier within the lower ranks of the Gallic Royal Navy, and one step away from Knighthood.
+
* '''Lieutenant''': The backbone of the Gallic Navy, Lieutenants are hand-picked from the vast ranks of Sous-Lieutenants as pilots who have shown exceptional initiative or skill. They often lead small squadrons of snubcraft, but are still low on the chain of command.<br><br>
−
* '''Man-at-Arms''': Men-at-Arms are well trained, well supplied front line troops figthing in the King's name.
+
* '''Sous-Lieutenant''': Sous-Lieutenants make up the majority of the Navy's personnel. They operate as fighter and bomber pilots or capital ship crewmen.<br><br>
−
* '''Levy''': The riff-raff of the Gallic Royal Navy. Levy's are nothing more than recruits and cannon-fodder.
+
* '''Aspirant''': Newly drafted into the Gallic Royal Navy, Aspirants are essentially trainees, fresh-faced and ready to fight and die for the Crown. They must prove both their dedication and ability to advance further in the Navy and become a full Sous-Lieutenant of the Crown's elite fighting force. <br><br>
 +
 
 +
''Naval personnel belonging to La Légion Étrangère Gauloise follow the same ranking structure as the above. However, members of the Gallic Royal Navy who are not also citizens of the Kingdom of Gallia may not rise above the rank of Capitaine.''

History

The Gallic Royal Navy was formed shortly after the crippled French sleeper ship reached Ile-de-France in 84 A.S. At first, its main agenda was space exploration and searching for other sleeper ships of the former Alliance. Later, when space flights became accessible to many groups and corporations, including criminals, the Navy switched to internal security tasks, while still maintaining a large number of capital ships, and constantly researching new ways to upgrade the ships and their weaponry in case a war with other Houses ever occurred. Today, the Navy is a powerful military force that can counter any threat to the Crown, both from within Gallic borders, or from outside.

The Royal Navy has been fighting a long war with Gallic rebels known as the Council since 748 A.S. over their misguided ideas that the Royal’s policy of isolation and preparation for total war of detriment to Gallia. The war ended for a time but the rebellion that started in 794 A.S. on the planet Marne is universally considered the beginning of the Second Gallic War which has continued to this day.

The current long range goal of the Royal Navy is a war to end all wars against the other former Alliance Houses. The Royal Navy has been moving forward almost non-stop building ships, researching military technology, gathering intelligence, stealing technology, and training new recruits to make war. This ultimate goal, however, was put on hold by the Council when they managed to capture the Languedoc system, break through the mine fields there and in Lorraine, and make first contact with the other Sirius Houses. The Royal Navy spent a period consolidating its forces before pushing through the Council's blockade in Languedoc and Orkney, bursting into Sirius and establishing a strong Gallic presence in Orkney, the Taus and Edinburgh.

Currently, the Royal Navy is waging war on Bretonia, and aims to take Leeds relatively soon. They are beset by many enemies, including the Colonial Remnant and Outcasts, but have more than enough military strength to overcome these obstacles.

Zone of Operations

Burgundy

Burgundy is the seat of Royal power in the Gallic Border Worlds, and the primary defensive operating area of the Gallic Royal Navy, given its proximity to Council-controlled Champagne and its status as the second line of defense against intruders from Omicron-80.

Owned bases :

Allied bases :

Champagne

Champagne is fully controlled by the Council. The Royal Navy may occasionally send expeditions to test the defenses of Planet Marne and other installations, but generally stays clear of the system.

Dauphine

Dauphine is the primary staging ground for the Gallic Royal Navy's forces. Every day more ships arrive in the system, and the Crown plans to launch a massive assault on Languedoc within the year. Dauphine is also the sight of several major battles in the Second Gallic War, most notably Bourgon-Jallieu and The Gap, and as such significant forces are always on patrol in the system in case Council launches another attack.

Owned bases :

Allied bases :

Languedoc

The Gallic Royal Navy has been all but pushed out of Languedoc, retaining control of only the Jump Gate to Dauphine. The system is still patrolled in an effort to contain the tide of Sirius explorers coming in from Orkney, and on occasion the Navy sends a task force out to meet Council in battle and gauge the strength of their defenses.

Owned bases :

Lorraine

Lorraine is one of the two systems that contain Jump Holes from the Gallic Border Worlds to Sirius. While mostly cut off from reinforcements due to the Council takeover of Champagne, the Gallic Royal Navy does not shy away from using the jumphole from Burgundy when necessary. Defense of the system is mostly left to the Battleship Epinal, and it rarely receives patrols from the main fleet.

Ranks

  • Grand Maréchal: The Grand Maréchal is the supreme ruler of the Gallic Royal Navy in the King's absence. This title is awarded to a Maréchal of impeccable prestige, who has proven his or her value as the Crown's most loyal servant time and time again. The current Grand Maréchal of the Royal Navy is Valérie Quétineau.

  • Maréchal: Second only to the Grand Maréchal herself, the Maréchal is a prestige title given to a Général who has proven him or herself worthy of this esteemed and revered position. In practice, the Maréchal is equal in rank to a Général, but only the very best can ever be awarded this title .

  • Général: A Général is a high-standing member of the Royal Navy's High Command. Holding great responsibility in keeping Gallia's territory safe from intruders, pirates, and terrorists, as well as all war-related activities within Bretonia and the Taus, a Général often commands fleet operations from a personal Valor-class battleship.

  • Colonel: Colonels operate directly underneath the Générals, boasting control of naval operations within their designated solar system. They are often given command of an Obstinate-class cruiser.

  • Commandant: A Commandant is the first senior officer rank in the Navy, and is the first step a in a Naval career that comes with real responsibility and power. Commandants work as assistants under a Colonel, but are eminently capable of commanding fleet operations by themselves.

  • Capitaine: A Capitaine typically leads fighter or bomber wings. They are the highest rung of the Navy low command and ensure the orders, plans, and operations set forth by the higher ranks are carried out efficiently. Many Capitaines operate as the captain of a Perilous-class gunboat, being experienced enough by now to lead a crew of this size into battle.

  • Lieutenant: The backbone of the Gallic Navy, Lieutenants are hand-picked from the vast ranks of Sous-Lieutenants as pilots who have shown exceptional initiative or skill. They often lead small squadrons of snubcraft, but are still low on the chain of command.

  • Sous-Lieutenant: Sous-Lieutenants make up the majority of the Navy's personnel. They operate as fighter and bomber pilots or capital ship crewmen.

  • Aspirant: Newly drafted into the Gallic Royal Navy, Aspirants are essentially trainees, fresh-faced and ready to fight and die for the Crown. They must prove both their dedication and ability to advance further in the Navy and become a full Sous-Lieutenant of the Crown's elite fighting force.

Naval personnel belonging to La Légion Étrangère Gauloise follow the same ranking structure as the above. However, members of the Gallic Royal Navy who are not also citizens of the Kingdom of Gallia may not rise above the rank of Capitaine.
