Azura Stellar Fleetwork

Azura Stellar Fleetwork (ASF) is a former Militaristic Scientific organization, now turned sovereign state within the galaxy. ASF was governed by The Union Council, which is chaired by a Secretary-General or Fleet Admiral. ASF is known for it scientific research and defense, while its fleet isn’t the strong as Redwood Industries Fleet but it was the most powerful second in protection and defense. In recent year of 2700(1), it was lead by the current Fleet Admiral Mobile Adama - who passed a mandate that he will sever the ASF until his end or he choose to step down.

## History

Azura Stellar Fleetwood was an organization with a powerful fleet and scientific research. During the mid and post-war of the Great War, ASF is responsible of patrolling, supplying, supporting during the wars, the ASF was key to secure the victory to the Galactic Council. After the war, the ASF contribution didn’t not stop there as it was granted they own investment and project along with the rank state and sovereignty custody of itself.

Although the ship wasn’t powerful as their RWI Counterpart, it make up of it majority by Science and Development. This can be clearly seen by the ASF Traveler, a joint coopreation and alliance between RWI and ASF. lead to create a science vessel build after the post-era lesson of the great wars.

Decades later, ASF would be prepare but not as much for the sudden attack of Shadow and a new foe dub them “Siren”. Their weapon was superior but not the same as the Azuran but thing go deire as their Fleet Command Headquarter was bomb killing ASF Navy Commander, Fleet Admiral Kaijo Ugo and the most of the senior command.

In the aftermath, the Shadow make an attack on the Homeworld incluminate as Battle of Azura. as it was bombarded for 5 days at the of Verdun City. Led into a chaotic war with a moderate defeat of ASF Forces. However, on January 9th 2634. The Shadow have loss it instructs on Torres III Led by Admiral Paris of the ASF Sovereign.

By May of 2634(1), the ASF have just only lost a quarter of their fleets as their counterpart RWI have just loss about one third of their fleet. So as of it now, the ASF will hold the line while RWI, CNL and RCSP are preparing for a return. For six month the ASF have retreated entirely to their mid region of their space and fight from planet to planet until they score a massive victory on January 2635 at the Battle of Akuma Starzone, a system-wide battle that lasted for four weeks - ended at cost for both side with the Shadow expentes more then half of their military and the ASF at over 100 ships, estimate of 2,000 troop all lost and more for a victor.

In 2635(1) - RWI, CNL and RCSP have complete their preperation but now the ASF have lost more then half and result to the Union used hit-and-run tactic, defensive oritante combat and gurilla warfare. This was evidently shown on March 5th at the planet Geono, where RWI, CNL and RCSP deploy their forces to reinforce the strategic point of Station ASF-415 - This status can be seeing that the base garrison held the line but the moral was non-existence until the resupply and liberation of Edna, a city on the planet surface and open a major theathe in the wars.

After year of fighting, the Shadow-threat was fully nullify and peace was granted only for 40 years later in 2675(1) where skirmish with the DRF ensue, collectively and turn to another war in opening of 2700s. In the same year, the Siren return and force the ASF on defense of Earth join together by the Federation Starfleet and the planet local goverment where Mobile Adama play a key role.

In later years, the ASF Fleet has clearly shown signs of aging but are well prepare in the Fleet Moderate Program introducing new ships, however, their were at soon to begin as with the threat of "The Shadows", fleet production has renewed and are currently producing new starship classes, such as the Phoenix Class or Valkyrie Class, as well as retro-fitting existing ASF ships (like the Defender or Nova class) with enhanced weapons and technologies.

The ASF Fleet is properly assigned and divided between the existing divisions or fleet. Most of the ship in the ASF are produce from ASF Kumari-Glacer Shipyard before 2700(1), almost one-thirds of current ASF ship are former 2250s[1] era Starfleet ship.

Aside from its starships, the service also operated other vessels. Among these were several types of shuttlecraft, which were typically used to transport personnel over relatively short distances, such as from a starship orbiting a planet down to the planet's surface.

Shuttlecraft allowing transport of personnel within a range of several light years from the starship but shuttlecraft isn't the only thing the ASF have as it have several more, such as Fighter, Gunship and Support craft.
