Romulan Republic Navy

The ***Galae s'Rheilhhu Rihan*** or **Romulan Republic Navy (RRN)** was the space force of the Romulan Republic and a branch of the Romulan Republic Militia. It was originally headquartered at a flotilla in the Azure sector, before a permanent base of operations was established on Dewa III, the new Romulan homeworld.

## History

Following the success of starships deployed with Operation Delta Rising, Navy leadership began the Tagor Program to update core warbird designs.

## Organization

### Leadership

Galae'Enriov Klau Kererek was appointed the commanding officer of the navy when it was formally organized in 2409.

### Ranks

The rank system used by the Republic Navy was continued from the Star Navy.

### Uniforms

The navy wore the standard Militia uniforms, with officers wearing green and enlisted personnel in yellow.

### Fleets

Republic Navy Command oversaw the operation of the RRN and its various fleets. The fleets were named after their respective responsibilities:

* Romulan Republic Home Fleet (*Galae ih'Digaer'aeleir*)
* Romulan Republic Coalition Fleet (*Dhaekav'galae*)
* Romulan Republic Territorial Fleet (*Galae ih'Hveillh*)

Fleets were divided into divisions (*fvhirrhel*), wings (*efvir*), and squadrons (*ehrefv*). A fleet was commanded from a flagship (*Galae'khina*) and was divided into five divisions. Each division typically contained twenty warbirds and was led by a division flagship (*Fvhirrhel'khina*). Divisions were then divided into two wings, each led by a wingship (*Efvir'khina*). Each ten-warbird wing was itself divided into squadrons (*ehrefv*) of three to five warbirds each, with a squadron lead (*Ehrefv'khina*) overseeing each unit.

### Facilities

The Navy managed numerous facilities for the construction and repair of warbirds. The primary facility was constructed in orbit of Dewa IV, but during 2409 and 2410 former Star Empire shipyards defected to the Republic and came under the purview of the RRN. These included facilities in the Aido, Chalktok, Sarita, Tephrei, and Terrh systems.

## Liveries

Due to the hodgepodge nature of the early Republic Navy, there was no official livery for the service during its formative years. Most vessels retained their original markings, such as the green Command Fleet coloring on most former Star Navy warbirds. Those vessels fielded by the Garidian Republic had a grey-green hull with scarlet markings, while those coming from the former Reman Resistance retained their brown hull.
