Introduction

The Liberty navy represents all that is free in this world of inequalities and untruths of character. We stand where others won’t, we fight what they say is a losing battle. Why? For the freedom of those who depend on us, we are the Southern Alliance and we do not falter when the line is drawn for peace and war.

The Southern Alliance receive direct economic support from the Jacobi administration currently in charge of Liberty. Due to the support that the current establishment gifts us with, we currently have the most advanced naval fleet in Sirius capable of combating most any enemy. State of the art research into any and all advancements is always underway at classified naval research bases making it so those who can not fight may rest easy.

Historical Information

Shortly after the conclusion of the conflict with the Nomad invaders and the tainted Rheinland forces president Jacobi saw a precedent, the precedent for two fleets to guard Liberty. Upon this decision sat the possibility to shatter Liberty down a fault line yet unknown, north and south. The formation of the Northern and Southern Alliances left many with feelings of unease and insecurity, two fleets to defend one country, especially one as large as Liberty? The debate raged for a short while before the word was given, California and Texas would rally their forces and form a new fleet headquartered in Virginia and the remainder would form a second fleet headquartered in New York. Yet, the debate seems to be over after years as the fleets sent to the Northern Alliance were re-organized under the Southern Alliance command those who are now autonomous from the governmental bureaucracy of New York but still hold true to the traditions set by the Liberty Navy. Therefore, the Southern Alliance continue to offer dedicated support to all her brethren within Liberty and borders.

Command Structure

  • Fleet Admiral: The Fleet Admiral has executive power over all SA personnel, with special exceptions.
  • Admiral: Admirals have executive command rights over the entire fleet, but can be overruled by one Admiral and two Vice admirals. Admirals report directly to the Fleet Admiral.
  • Vice Admiral: In absences of both Admirals and the Fleet Admiral the Vice Admiral(s) take command, they are overruled by both full Admirals and the Fleet Admiral.
  • Captain: Captain is the first rank you can achieve under the heading of senior staff, they are carefully selected for their leadership abilities and command deployments of fighters. They report to the Vice Admirals.
  • Commander: The rank of Commander is assigned after one has displayed a certain excellence in the field and is deemed qualified enough to be gifted with further command duties.
  • Lieutenant Commander: This is the cornerstone rank managing the relationships between Ensigns, Lieutenants and Commanders. The rank of Lieutenant Commander is assigned to Lieutenants who display exceptional abilities above and beyond their current rank.
  • Lieutenant: Lieutenant is the first rank of actual command, pilots who reach the rank of Lieutenant have garnered enough trust and experience that they are allowed to fly lead on mission under special supervision.
  • Ensign: Ensign is the introductory rank of the SA; pilots will fly as ensigns until they have proven themselves reliable enough to be trusted as Lieutenants and Lieutenant Commanders.
