Navy

## Faction Description

"*Branch of the UNSCDF responsible mostly for naval operations in space, though they sometimes operate in the oceans with their terrestrial arm. Its roles include ship-to-ship combat, orbital bombardment, the deployment of atmospheric and space fighters, and the delivery of UNSC Marines, especially ODSTs, into combat."*

## Gameplay Wise

Many branches in the ship are considered to be part of the Navy, and as such use Naval ranking. Navy, in this sense is referring to the characters on the ship that perform basic ground scans, and many other things included in the faction description.

The Navy operates ships in terrestrial waters as well as space, the pinnacle of the Navy is its space operations. The Navy can take pride in its flag ship, "The culmination of Human achievement" the UNSC Infinity. In canon it is currently undergoing trials, it will not be commissioned until February 2557. The Navy has a good spectrum of authority on its ships.

The Current ship the 5th MEU is on is the UNSC Warspite, a Paris Class Heavy Frigate boasting 12 M910 Point Defense Guns, Hundreds of Archer Missiles and a good spirited crew. It's current commanding officer is Captain George Burke, following his first officer Commander Ned Casper. The Warspite's motto being "Through adversity to the stars". It should be noted that Captain Burke has a habit of telling people to "Shut up." When he finds them annoying.
