National Earth Navy

The National Earth Navy was the most powerful branch of the National Earth Federated Systems Defense Forces , responsible for space supremacy as well as orchestrating campaigns and grand strategy. Formed by the Sol System government during the Core Colonial Revolution of 2332-2336, it soon merged with a number of haphazard inner colonial territorial fleets participating in the concurrent Natural Rights War, with the heavy influence of Earth-based naval forces forming the basis of the embryonic National Earth Navy's customs, practices and traditions. This was in contrast to the previous practices of the International Military Administration Fleet, which derived its traditions from its more astronautical, air force-based foundation. 
Existing as an official armed force from 2332 C.E. to 2452 C.E., it was for the majority of its history a medium-sized, moderately armed force primarily geared around so-called "intensified police duties," usually patrol and enforcement of trade routes against criminals, thieves, and occaisonal insurrectionists. During this period, it primarily used large numbers of haphazard ship classes, ranging from vessels covertly-built in the Sol System during the Revolution by sympathizer Doctor Gerald Decker, often called "the father of modern naval design," to aging IMA Fleet vessels captured during and after the war, to a few classes of purpose-built warships. Due to the rise of the Business Liberties Association 's private fleets during the late 2370's, however, the Navy began a series of modernization programs that would, within 40 years, turn it into one of the largest and strongest contemporary navies and usher in its remodeling into the National Federation Navy , one of the most powerful navies ever known.
