Republic Navy

The Republic Navy, sometimes known as the Navy of the Republic or the Republic Fleet, is the military armada that had protected the Republic for thousands of years and continues to do so to this day.

Organisation
Operationally the Republic Navy is split into eight combat fleets, which follow a generally identical make-up, although in peacetime these may be changed to meet operational requirements. At the current time the Republic has 8,448 Warships, not counting support and logistics class, nor the Acclamator Class Assault Ship fleet.

The Standard fleet is listed below:

Fleet

A Fleet is typically commanded by a Fleet Admiral, and is the largest operational unit in the Navy. Fleet's are deployed for major offensives and generally consist of six battlegroups. Overall, a Fleet has 1,057 vessels, as follows;

1x Chancellor Class Command Star Destroyer


 * 96x Venator Class Star Destroyers
 * 192x Perseverance Class 'Pocket' Star Destroyer/Heavy Cruisers
 * 384x Arquitens Class Light Cruisers
 * 240x Charger C70 Class Frigates
 * 288x CR90 Class Corvettes

Battlegroup

A Battlegroup is a major Republic Navy unit, typcially commanded by an Admiral, and are usually deployed to attack all but the most heavily protected targets, or defend all but the most highly valued assets. A Battlegroup consists of four squadrons. Overall, a Battlegroup has 176 vessels as follows:

Squadron

A Squadron is a Republic Navy unit and is typically commanded by a Commodore, and is the most commonly deployed Republic unit with the larger formations usually only coming together in times of war or crisis. Squadrons are expected to be capable of handling most situations with limited outside assistance, courtesy of their organic assets, in particular their detachments of Clone Marines. Overall a Squadron has fourty-four vessels, seperated into four sections as follows:

STAR DESTROYER SECTION A Star Destroyer Section contains all four of the Star Destroyers assigned to a Squadron. Independently this makes the Star Destroyer section the most powerful, but tends to work best in co-operation with the other sections.

4x Venator Class Star Destroyers

CRUISER SECTION

8x Perseverance Class 'Pocket' Star Destroyer/Heavy Cruisers

ESCORT SECTION

16x Arquitens Class Light Cruisers

FRIGATE & CORVETTE SECTION
