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 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.

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 Marshall: The Grand Marshall is the supreme ruler of the Gallic Royal Navy in the King's absence.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Knight: A Knight is a member of the Gallic Royal Navy that has set his or her first steps towards nobility.
  • Sergeant: A Sergeant is a respected soldier within the lower ranks of the Gallic Royal Navy, and one step away from Knighthood.
  • Man-at-Arms: Men-at-Arms are well trained, well supplied front line troops figthing in the King's name.
  • Levy: The riff-raff of the Gallic Royal Navy. Levy's are nothing more than recruits and cannon-fodder.

Ship Usage

Rank needed : Levy

Generally used by the recruits and riff-raff of the Royal Navy, the Caracal is easily replaced and discarded, making it perfect for the use in training.

Rank needed : Levy

Used by the somewhat 'advanced' recruits, the Serval has that little extra bit of armour capable of protecting its pilot, possibly delivering him or her straight into the ranks of the Royal Navy.

Rank needed : Men-at-Arms

The sword and the shield of the Royal Navy. Used by Royal guards and combat troops alike, the Lynx is the pinnacle of Gallic fighter construction.

Rank needed : Men-at-Arms

Where as the Lynx is the sword and shield, the Cougar is the Hammer. Designed specifically to take down hostile capital ships, domestic and foreign alike, the Cougar is the mean pilot's choice of ship.

Rank needed : Knight

Designed as a support ship rather than a brutality vessel, the Perilous is indeed in perilous danger alone. But should you find it supporting a fleet, the roles switch tables.

Rank needed : Comte

The Obstinate is the soul of the Gallic Royal Navy. Seen as offence, support and defensive ships. The Obstinate is seen throughout the entire Gallic Space region.

Rank Needed : Duke

The fist of the Gallic Royal Navy. The Valor is the pinnacle of capital ship evolution in Sirius. With an excellent armoury, armour plating, power plant and commanded by some of the most veteran captains in Gallic space, the Valor is truly a force to be reckoned with.
