Eternal Armada

The Eternal Armada is the intergalactic military of the Corpus Federation purposed to enforce the Nexus Council's rule across the universe. It conducts offensive and defensive operations in air, land and space. At the height of Corpus power, it numbered over ten million vessels and a hundred billion personnel. The Eternal Armada is headed by Supreme Commander and Overlord Rutherford.

## **History**

### **Early History**

As the Treaty of Orion was signed, Supreme Overlord Ghost immediately mobilized the creation of the official military force for Corpus. Dubbed the Eternal Armada since the beginning, it was initially constructed from the remnants of the most powerful factions of the Reaper Alliance: VEGA Corporation, Reaper's Brigade and White Fence Security. In particular, VEGA warships that survived Operation Amarok made up the bulk of it. During Corpus's rapid expansion across the known galaxy, the Eternal Armada likewise exponentially grew in magnitude and technological might.

At the time, Ghost's second-in-command, the ex-Trussian Vulture, was appointed the Supreme Commander to head the Eternal Armada. His efforts were integral in forcibly pacifying planets formerly under Trussian control and eliminating last stands by insurrectionists and Emperor Takota loyalists. Since the Celestial Inquest branch had not been fully established yet, the Eternal Armada was also tasked with discovering and colonizing new solar systems and constructing space installations.

## **Organization**

The Eternal Armada is overseen by Unified Command, which Supreme Commander Rutherford heads, and divided into the Terra Corps, Terra Navy, Galactic Navy and Engineers.

### **Unified Command**

High Command is the committee responsible for overseeing the entirety of the Eternal Armada via their own discretion and inputs from the Nexus Council. It is comprised of the Supreme Commander and various Generals and Admirals who command specific divisions.

Notable members include:

* Supreme Commander
* Supreme General of the Terra Corps
* General of the Terra Corps Infantry
* General of the Terra Corps Cavalry
* Supreme General of the Terra Navy
* General of the Terra Navy Air Force
* General of the Terra Navy Marines
* Supreme Admiral of the Galactic Navy
* Supreme General of the Engineers

The Supreme Commander wields the highest rank in the Eternal Armada, but also possesses the immense responsibility in coordinating all divisions to cooperate accordingly. Presently, Supreme Commander Rutherford has demonstrated superb competence at his position.

### **Terra Corps**

The Terra Corps is the branch of the Eternal Armada primarily responsible for terrestrial-based warfare under the direction of Unified Command.

### **Terra Navy**

The Terra Navy is the branch of the Eternal Armada primarily responsible for terrestrial-based air and sea warfare under the direction of Unified Command.

### **Galactic Navy**

The most iconic and formidable branch, the Galactic Navy forces a monopoly on the Void with their seemingly infinite fleets of warships, installations and superweapons. Its roles include ship-to-ship combat; orbital bombardment; deployment of atmospheric and space fighters; and delivery of Terra Corps troops into space.

## **Vessels**

The vessels of the Galactic Navy represent years of technological advancement, painstaking engineering and terrifying ingenuity. These spare-faring warships bring upon the full apocalyptic force of Corpus.

There are currently ten million vessels in the Eternal Armada, with an average of 100,000 built every month. Each ship is outfitted with either homegrown Corpus technology, technology reverse-engineered from other species/factions or a combination of the two.

### **Flagships**

Flagships are composed of only the largest ships in the Galactic Navy. Each monstrosity, whose average hull length is a staggering 32 miles, is independently contracted and therefore wholly unique. Their role simply is to destroy enemy morale with their petrifying presence and near invincibility in only the most important operations. They are protected by multiple escort fleets numbering over a thousand vessels each.

The current flagships are as follows:

* *Valiant Demise*
* *Icarus Break*
* *Last Dawn*
* *Vengeance*
* *Sienna Sky*
* *Apocrypha*

#### **Capitol Flagship**

The Capitol Flagship is the personal flagship of the Supreme Commander Rutherford of Unified Command. Named *Anthem of Solace*, it is 68-mile long, helmed by over 100,000 personnel and more than capable to annihilate entire solar systems.
