The United Nations Space Navy is a branch of the United Nations Marine Corps focused on the operation and maintenance of the UNMC's fleets, as well as handling military logistics for the UNMC.
This branch contains all typical navy related personnel, such as Engineering and Requisitions.
(In the spirit of keeping ranks and their titles easy to comprehend and understand, Navy ranks are not used or applicable to RMC.)
History
Like many United Nations military branches, the United Nations Space Navy was formed shortly after the formation of the United Nations Marine Corps as its primary transportation and ship-combat arm. Although combat was initially limited, the UNSN would see it's first major deployment during The Orthis War, mobilizing hundreds of different warships to aid in the effort to retake Orthis from the rebel force. Because of the forces they brought to bear, the UNSN was confident that they would be able to handle any significant resistance, and would be resting on their laurels as the ground was cleaned up.
The Orthis War would turn into an unmitigated disaster for the United Nations Space Navy. Poor coordination between not only the ground and air forces, but the UN and the Three Suns Empire would lead to anti-warship surface-to-air batteries destroying many spaceships, and killing thousands. After four years of conflict, and the close of the Orthis War, the UNSN would be left to pick up the remains of their fleets.
In the wake of Orthis, the UNSN was
Organization & Operations
The United Nations Space Navy is split up across multiple different fleets, which are stationed in multiple different regions, from the inner territories to the Frontier. These fleets are further subdivided into Task Forces, which are each tasked with patrolling and protecting an assigned sector.
Task Forces are assigned with different duties depending on the ship class, capabilities, or armament. The UNSN is responsible for patrolling areas of space controlled by the United Nations, but may also be called upon to engage in naval skirmishes with rival powers such as the Socialist Progressive Peoples when nessecary.
On the border territories, Task Forces are also assigned the duties of border patrol, preventing unlawful incursions. This duty is especially important in the The Zephyron Sector, where the DMZ remains an ever-present factor. Diplomatically deadlocked from posting large-scale fleets to the border of this DMZ, the UNSN has settled for occasionally deploying patrol craft, although they maintain a steady eye on the Demilitarized Zone from Chinook Station.
The UNSN operates many different types of ships, ranging from aircraft carriers and destroyers to frigates and patrol craft. Oftentimes, these ships will have a Marine company placed on-board, allowing for most UNSN Task Force ships being capable of responding to distress signals. Patrol Craft are the most well-equipped for such operations, being lightly armed as a trade-off for containing a large, well-equipped Marine compliment.
