Malamig Naval Forces

The Malamig Naval Forces (MNF) is the strongest branch of the Malamig forces. Based heavily around the use of Submarine warfare as well as the use of cargo ships for transportation. The Malamig Naval Forces are estimated to have around 320 manned water-based vehicles as well as nearly 3,000 active on duty personal.
== Mission ==
*Transportation: The use of Cargo Ships, Submarines and armed boats allow for skilled transportation across the cold and dangerous waters around the Northern part of Higashi. The income Malamig makes from transportation of foreign goods is a large portion of their economy and stability.
*Defense: The primary defense to the coasts of Northern Higashi, the use of Submarines to attack foreign hostiles is the major defense to the nation of Malamig. Attack on sight orders have been implemented by Ramil Irmhild, creating much tension with trading ships and neighboring countries.
== History ==
After the Paghalay Civil War, Malamig fled to the north where they found that the icy terrain was their natural defense. Members of Paghalay sought to take down what was left of the weakened Malamig nation as they just began to settle in, attempting to use the ocean to sneak up from the west of Malamig. Failing to put into account the harsh winters that were beginning, the Paghalay failed and many died. The Malamig learned from the Paghalay's mistake and began to set up several ships along the coasts, which would eventually develop into the Malamig Naval Forces.
In later years, the production of several Submarine classes and ships would put the Malamig Navy at the top of the charts.
