## Brief Summary

The Royal Manticoran Navy (or RMN) is the primary military service branch of the **Star Kingdom of Manticore**. Having a dignified history and having started from modest roots the RMN has grown to be one of the largest and most prestigious national level navies in the galaxy and a major contributor to the military forces of **The Triumvirate-GFL Confederation**.

Active-duty vessels of the RMN use HMS (His/Her Majesties Ship) as their designated vessel prefix while auxiliary vessels use RFA (Royal Fleet Auxiliary), it is important to note that not all active-duty vessels are considered combatants. Survey vessels and system patrol vessels are considered non-combatants under RMN doctrine but are crewed by the Royal Navies active-duty personnel and as such use HMS. HMSS (His/Her Majesties Space Station) is used for stations with a permanent population such as **HMSS Hephaestus** or **HMSS Vulcan.**

## Administrative structure

The Royal Manticoran Navy is administered via the Admiralty Board from the city of Landing on **Manticore**. It consists of three civilian members from the Queens Cabinet and seven Space Lords who were active-duty members of the RMN.
