UNSC Navy

The UNSC Navy (UNSCN) is the branch of the UNSC Armed Forces responsible mostly for naval warfare and operations in space, though they still operate in the oceans with their terrestrial arm - Naval Surface Warfare Command (NSWC), known colloqually as the "Seaforce". Its roles include ship-to-ship combat, orbital bombardment, the deployment of atmospheric and space fighters, and the delivery of UNSC Marines into combat.
== Mission ==
The UNSC navy's mission statement can be summarised as "Provide naval forces to ensure freedom of access for aerospace and terrestrial operations." More specifically, the navy is responsible for destroying and suppressing enemy space combatants, especially those attempting to attack UEG commercial and terrestrial holdings. The navy's collateral functions include:
* Interstellar transportation of UNSC assets.
* Development of doctrine, procedures and equipment that are of common interest to the Air Force and Marine Corps.
* Providing forces for joint aerospace and terrestrial operations, in accordance with UNSC doctrine.
* Coordination with UEG civil agencies for the establishment and maintenance of naval depots and orbital yards.
* Establishment of emergency military government in designated crisis areas.
== History ==
=== Formation ===
The UNSC Navy was created during the Interplanetary War of the 2160's - precisely during the Mars Campaign of 2163 - as a result of the United Nations' need to oversee and monitor Marine deployments from space, thus forming the United Nations Space Command. After the UN's victory in the Interplanetary War, the UNSC Navy became involved in colonization, the settling of minor trade disputes, and anti-piracy operations as humanity spread through space.
