**The OverWatch Navy** is a primary branch that's apart of the 5th Army's military. The Navy handles naval warfare, both aquatic and intergalactic. Often times, the navy operates in conjunction with the army. The navy's infantry unit works in support for the navy, as it is heavily reliant on space warfare. The navy's objective is to protect OverWatch space within the LANIAKEA supercluster, as well as assist in expanding the 5th Army's space and territory. The navy utilises cruisers and strategical logistics to further advance towards victory. In recent times of the Second OverWatch civil war, it's the most dominated branch in the entire military.

## Structure

All naval affairs are governed and overseen by the Admiralty, that consists of the Navy's Grand Admirals and department chiefs, which is chaired by a uniformed officer and holds the title of section chief of the Navy. Directly below the Admiralty is the High Command of the Navy, having the job of delegating commands to the four main bodies of the Navy: the Office of Naval Operations, the Operating Forces, the OverWatch Marine Services and the Commission of Border Defense.

### Office of Naval Operations

The section chief reports to the Administrator of the Armed Forces, though in the light of the second civil war, they now report to the Overseer of the armed forces. The section chief chairs the Admiralty consisting of Grand admirals incharge of naval agencies, including the High Command of the Navy and the main bodies of the Navy, as well as Chief of a Sector's navy from the Joint Staff Commission, and a selected non-commissioned officer with the rank of "Chief Petty Officer" that oversees all enlisted naval personnel - holding the title of "Chief Petty Officer of the Navy" (Protocol places them at the equivalent rank of Admiral). All of that is what the Office of Naval Operations comprises; a branch of the Navy that handles executive and managerial affairs of the Navy. The office also contains various amounts of agencies that cover specific areas, such as engineering, communications, etc. By the time Satoru Marude became High Admiral, he was head of the Naval Intelligence within the Office.

### Operating Forces

Operating forces are special components that provide services for the navy, all of which are headed by a grand admiral. The operating forces consist of 5 components:

* Sector A Command - Component command that provides naval defense in Sector A.
* Sector B Command - Component command that provides naval defense in Sector B.
* Sector C Command - Component command that provides naval defenes in Sector C.
* Information Network - Service command that operates the navy's information network.
* Test and Evaluation Force - Service command that operates test and evaluates them for the navy.

Fleets in the OverWatch navy take on the role as force provider; they do not carry out special operations independantly, rather they train and maintain independant naval units that will subsequently be provided for to any of the operating forces components or the Commission of Border Defense. Full Fleets are under the command of a Fleet, High or (on rare occassions) Grand admirals. Depending on its size, a regular Admiral is capable of leading a Full Fleet. Full Fleets are divided into five sub-fleets, the "Front Fleet" is usually led by an Admiral or Vice admiral, otherwise a Vice admiral commands the "Main Fleet" - a component that is only formed if the Full Fleet is under the command of a Fleet admiral or up, then there's the "Rear Fleet" that is commanded by a Rear Admiral. The three "Body Fleets" are called "Naval Cores", which consists of even smaller "Sections", usually commanded by a Commodore or an Admiral. The two last sub-fleets are a Starboard and Port Fleet, both of which are classified as "Supply Fleets", both are commanded by a Commodore, and usually only exists on bigger fleets under the command of a High Admiral.

### OverWatch Marine Services

>

The OverWatch Marine Services is a land force service branch, and is comprises of the navy's entire infantry unit. It is structured after the army, having a sectorial marine force in each sector, headed by high admirals, and is subdivided into smaller forces. It is structured as follows: sectorial marine force, naval core, marine corps, naval legion, naval brigade, naval regiment, naval company, naval platoon, naval squad and naval fire team.

### Commission of Border Defense

> *Main article:* Commission of Border Defense
>
>

The Commission of Border Defense (CBD) is a special unit that operates each sector's border region. It protects and regulates border traffic, and is divided into 3 divisions specifically designated for each sector.

### Naval Transportation Corps

This corps is incharge of the construction of vehicles and starships specifically made for naval operations. Often times this corps lends and leases their ships to civil agencies and the OWISCB's Naval Command, for civilian operation they of course remove armaments, and for Naval Command usages they modify their ships in order to apply them to specific needs and tasks.

### Logistics Corps

This body is a civil agency that is incharge of all logistics of the Navy, it is mentioned to be headed by a U.O.D. Under Consul named Arma von Seer. Part of their responsibilities is to manage rations for Marine Service infantry units, prepare medical kits, maintain ships and equipment, as well as custodial services when a starship is not in operation.

## History

### Pre-Phase 1

The navy campaigned for total protection of OverWatch space. Being re-organized from the navy forces for Era 1 OverWatch, it served its purpose of ensuring OverWatch control across the cosmos. Infantry units were commissioned from the former Era 1 Marines, serving as the Navy's infantry unit force. The Naval infantry units of the 5th Army assured its dominance, with having some of the strongest soldiers of the military.

In the years of the late 1990s, the Navy participated in a joint operation with the OverWatch Intelligence and Special Combats Bureau to terminate a demon hellspawn that had broke containment in Facility CHROMA, putting Captain Satoru Marude in charge of the Marine, other notable officers that were placed in the unit were Commander Hirmus Kirsk, Lieutenant Commander Guy Fish and Lieutenant Foxilius Cecil. They succeeded in the end with the help of Crest.

At some point during the early 2000s, the Navy commenced an anti-pirate operation against the Red Right Hand's attempt of raiding space station Zodiac, led by Ruz'gimon Anaithnid. The operation was under the command of Admiral Cassio Watt, a glory seeker who decided to pay the heavy price of sacrficing his men for a swift victory. In an act against this - at the time - Vice Admiral Marude went against his superiors orders and killed Watt, saving countless of lives and earning an OverWatch victory.

The Navy worked valiantly and wonders during the insurrections of Sector C, gaining massive foot in naval battles, hardly ever putting its skills to questions. Marude, a Fleet Admiral during this time, commanded all naval forces, he delegated the command of the Marine forces to Admiral Henrik Reedman, forming specailized regiments tasked to suppressing the insurrection, among them was Elite-9.

### Phase 1

In an effort to preserve power, the Navy launched an expansion campaign across the outer core region of sector C, an operation commissioned by the Joint staff of sector C. Naofa Niro's fleet was said to have been involved in the project. Directly in the aftermath of the first Resquis raid, the Chief of Navy in the Joint Staff of sector C - Grand Admiral Juuro Harima - ordered High Admiral Marude to have his forces be sent to Station 9 after it had come under attack from Resistance director Jeremiah's main forces. After a short time since the raid, Grand Admiral Harima was present at the Joint Staff meeting, reporting the navy's efforts for the ongoing uprising. The Navy later assisted Marude during operation: KU-TAKEDOWN, who delegated the command to Admiral Kirsk. After the operation was deemed a success, two cruisers descended and entered the atmosphere under the command of a Commodore named Halmerson. The Commodore's flagship, was utterly decimated by Headmaster Xepheniah Kukui, after the former attempted to lay fire at the building in means of a petty response to Xepheniah's threat.

### Phase 2

A few months after the raid on Kukui University, the OWOCI reported several illegal border crossings that turned out to be rebel cells merging with the Resistance Initiative. In response, the Joint Chiefs of Staff organized the "Total Security Campaign", conducted by S1, S2 and S3 Divisions. Under the request of OWGRO director, Doctor Colress, a new type of cruiser was tested out at a naval base in the Cassius region of Sector C. It revealed to be a Hantai-Class cruiser, capable of pulling ships out of hyperspeed travel. The prototype's fleet was under the command of Vice Admiral Bly Mott, but the prototype ended up getting heavily damaged by Famine. The Navy intervened a border crisis on planet 8381-C, the situation was first dealt with by Admiral Kuruya Remi and her fleet of the border defense commission of Sector C, along with the sections of the Oppressor Fleet. Though Remi's fleet was heavily overwhelmed, and was later assisted by a few sections from Skymaster Fleet, commanded by Admiral Osmond Ajeid. When S3 Division's attention was shifted to the prison breach on 9222-C, the brief moment of distraction gave the Resistance an opening to infiltrate the checkpoint 8381-C while the naval battle kept raging on. As soon as S3 Division's commander realized this, Naval Command Admiral Titan quickly upped security in conjunction with Earth's Inquisition Team. Despite preventing a bombing from the Resistance, it was once again another distraction, as the main target was First class agent Niro's flagship, the Absolution. Resistance bombers managed to disable the battleship with several ionic torpedo strikes, causing the massive battleship to tilt down and plummit to the surface of 8381-C, the explosion radius vaporizing the checkpoint and several nearby colonies.

In response to the crippling security of the border region, the Admiralty immediately approved and organized the testing space of the OWGRO's Project PK. A fleet was formed for defending the testing grounds of Project PK: which was a dreadnought simply named the Planet-Killer, led by one of Admiral Marude's staff officers - Admiral Gordyn. Gordyn's Fleet guarded the Planet-Killer's Naval Squadron, Judgement Core, that was organized as the main armada of the Planet-Killer, given command to High Admiral Kaitlyn Moniker - the deputy commander of the Navy's Operating forces and member of the High Command of the Navy. A prestige audience was aboard admiral Moniker's ship, OW-N Chedka, which included several high ranking members of the military, the Joint Staff of Sector C, OWGRO Engineers, Doctor Colress and the Administrators. The section chief of the Navy, Grand admiral Kenji Shimi, was also present to view the demonstration. After showing off the dreadnought's capabilities, the fleet was ambushed by the Novice Fleet, as a result of putting a fierce defense - the flagship, Paramount, was bombarded. Though under heavy fire, the fleet managed to maintain the Resistance from escaping, causing resistance Admiral Mika Agao to improvise by having a corvette ram one of the OverWatch fleet's light cruisers, the Terranian - commanded by Lieutenant Gendo, into the Paramount's bridge, which not only crippled the battleship, but killing Admiral Gordyn and all the ships personnel in the process. With the fleet at a slight disarray, the Resistance now had a hatch for escape. Grand Admiral Harima was present at the prestige audience, and volunteered to stay behind and clash with Nox Niro and War when both infiltrated Admiral Moniker's ship. The Navy went under heat from a scandal of information leakage: the IAB conducted an audit on Naofa's fleet, and were too late to apprehend a whistleblower, thus foiling an OverWatch victory for the second Resquis raid. Grand Admiral Harima later attended the joint session between the 5th Army's executive council and the joint staff of sector C as chief of navy.

### Phase 3

After first class agent Naofa's capturing, Captain Jock volunteered to command the Plasma Division operation of rescuing the agent. His attempt ended up failingas the Resistance outpost they raided was abandoned quickly. During a routine training mission for the crew of Judgement Core, the Planet-Killer was infiltrated by members of the Red Right Hand pirate clan in order to steal all sorts of valuable supplies and information that they could sell for a high sum under the leadership of Ruz'gimon "Red" Anaithnid. An intense battle broke out between ISF Military Police with Marine Troopers against the pirates, leading to the death of many crew and troopers onboard, including High Admiral Moniker. Fortunately, Assistant Special Class Agent Kousuke Oshikawa of the OWISCB and his subordinate were onboard to assist, forcing the Pirates to flee in the end. The Navy High Command was immediately alerted, of the incident, and just hsortly afterwards another incidient occurred aboard the Clemency. This caused an official investigation to be opened by the ISCB as per request of the Admiralty, then later a termination mission was commenced to eliminate the Red Right Hand once and for all.

During the build up to the large conflict, operation: DAY-BREAK, Captain Jock was seen accomponying Senior Captain Sera Jelastock at Site-9 to overlook operations before the conflict with OWISCB agents Chun Hakeemawa and Katsuka Shimi. Jock and his 95th Brigade squads clashed with Liberatus, under the leadership of Odessa. In the end everyone was forced to flee after Site-9's warhead was activated. Shortly afterwards, the Navy - in conjuction with the Army, Starfighter Corps and the OWISCB - executed operation: DAY-BREAK. While it dominated the naval combat, many ground unit casualties were naval and army infantries. The officer in charge of all Naval operations during the conflict was Fleet Admiral Osric Asteer, commanding the main fleet and aerial battle with the SFC. Admiral Kirsk assisted the command of Naval Operations aboard his ship - the Viscerator, apart of the Intimidator Fleet. Task force commander Fish was on the grounds coordinating with the Marines, under the command of Fleet admiral Larsson, where he coordinated an OverWatch Marine team to hit the Resistance's base nearing the end of the conflict. The aftermath of the operation was devestating, not only resulting in the death of Administrator X, but also resulting in war breaking out.

Admiral Kirsk was promoted to Fleet Admiral in the aftermath of operation: DAY-BREAK, and in turn he was chosen to command the Judgement Core, and ultimately the entirety of the Planet-Killer. Following Admiral Titan's demotion, Grand Admiral Juuro Harima was selected to command S3 Division, and thus resigned from his position in the Joint Staff of Sector C, his seat was later filled by a High Admiral named Hsu Che, who stepped down from his former position as the commander of S1 Division. To aide the 5th Army's efforts, Grand administrator Z summoned a meeting of various officials in the military - among the attending was Grand admiral Kenji Shimi, the Navy's Chief of Staff. He would later be apart of a body to assist the 5th Army's war efforts: the joint chiefs of suppression.

### Phase 4

It had been two years since the declaration of war, and the Navy had been playing a much more active part in advancing the 5th Army's war efforts across the supercluster. As the military was reorganized upon the declaration, the Navy and the Marine Services had been given more authoritarian edicts as they were vital in being the 5th Army's main vanguard through the second civil war, hence why the rank insignias had been changed from single rows to double rows in order to represent this greater authority. Apart of the reformations were the organization of special units by Overseer Crest, in the light of Niro Squad being formed - Captain Jock Montagne was transferred from the Navy to the ISCB, working his way up to First Class Agent.

The Navy's S2 Division forces faught hard against a Resistance Initiative fleet, under the command of Famine, above the planet 9107-C. The OverWatch fleet present was "Core 2" of the Opressor Fleet, commanded by Vice Admiral Nion Makaross. During the battle, Bly Mott was also a participant, revealing that he had been demoted from Vice admiral to Captain since the Hantai-Class prototype incident, now being assigned as an Officer of the Oppressor Fleet. The vengeful Captain was given the assignment to have his ship, the Prosecutor, support the ground forces and disable the Resistance's anti air batteries. Though in his vendetta to finally settle things and get revenge on Famine, he ended up becoming careless from focusing only on Famine, giving enough time for Nox to enter and the battle, crippling Mott's Battleship and forcing him to flee. It was said Admiral Makaross took full responsibility of Captain Mott's actions, in spite of Assistant special class agent Naofa's protest.

After a threat of puncturing a hold between Sector C and B was imminent, a defensive operation was commissioned for checkpoint THELTA by the joint chiefs of suppression, opertaion: ASSAULT-SAVANNAH, the operation was spearheaded by Sector B's border defence director, Admiral Oli Regan. Admiral Miguel Johnson commanded an OverWatch fleet that combatted the Novice Fleet above the checkpoint while all Marine forces were under the command of Rear admiral Ramda. Admiral Johnson was killed along with thousands of other officers and crew after Nox entered the battle. Admiral Ramda became interim commander of the fleet after all others were killed as a result of Nox Niro, before ceding them to Fleet admiral Kirsk who arrived with Judgement Core nearing the end. As a form of a last ditch effort, Admiral Kirsk was ordered by Marshal Masaru Oda, who was given command of the entire operation after the death of High general Olaf Svensen, to use the Planet-Killer's Surface Leveller to destroy the checkpoint. Quickly afterwards, all 3 Special Divisions formed a blockade with sections of the Oppressor Fleet to stop the surgance of Resistance naval fleets crossing the border. The blockade was said to be under the command of Fleet Admiral Moradmin Holt, who happened to be the same Rear admiral that worked under Cassio Watt many years prior. The blockade fell however after being immensely overwhelmed, and it was said that Holt perished aboard his flagship after a Resistance sabotage team successfully made his ship vulnarable.

A short time afterwards, a Navy fleet under the command of Rear admiral Maram Vichi, aided the campaign to retake an important OWGRO outpost: outpost SIGMA, which saw the bloodiest casualties after subject OMEGA-Q broke containment, resulting in Assistant Special Class Agent Jock Montagne entering a vegetative state. The Navy's forces in S1 Division were almost completely occupied with a seige on the tundra planet, 2201-B. The commanding officer of the Naval blockade above the planet was the Fae Admiral, Alison Raelegh, working with Secondary Admiral Iwao Isa of the ISCB's Naval Command. The Navy had full advantage, blocking all kinds of outside support for the Resistance, but it was however foiled in the process of Naofa's defection, which resulted in Alison and Dorian's subsequent defection. In retaliation, the Navy assisted in one of the largest and chaotic conflicts at the time of the civil war: operation: FAE-SUBMISSION on the Micrean Micro Cluster, where it saw its most intense battle at the capital planet, 0005-B. The Naval force's command was delegated into several fleets by the Grand Administrator, during the initial attacks on few of Micrea's colonies within the cluster, the naval fleet that bombarded most of Micrea's own home navy fleets by Judgement Core, which was overseen by Fleet admiral Kirsk. Grand Admiral Harima was given command of the First Wave of fleets on Micrea's capital system, then the capital planet, in his place to commanded S3 Division's forces - Harima assigned it to High general Morinco Kobayashi (who was also the commander of Harima Fleet's landing unit). The second wave of fleet was commanded by Grand Administrator Z aboard his personal Dreadnought, the Genesis, that arrived on scene the moment Nox Niro's supposed last limiter was destroyed. The Naval battle was intense, as the OverWatch Mega Fleet was almost overwhelmed by the combining forces of the full Oppressor Fleet and the Resistance's Novice Fleet. During Squad Captain Jack Nova's defection, he piloted his personal Corvette to ram a command Cruiser, the Victor, into Harima's flagship. Though major damage was avoided after the Victor's commander, Captain Molark, alerted Grand Admiral Harima in time to shoot down the Corvette. The conflict ended with the Navy's attempt of destroying the Resistance fleet and neighboring planets in the Micrea system with the help of the Planet-Killer. However, they were prevented by a sheer amount of force from Naofa Niro - turning the entire Dreadnought 180 degrees. Eventually, it was called off by the Grand Administrator, and thus left the battle in a supposed tie. Nox Niro was among the casualties in the battle, his corpse was transferred to Homebase for studying, and it was discovered that membranes from inside his corpse were capable of producing the super enzyme, NnAc-5, which was able to awake Commodore Fox and Assistant special class agent Jock from their coma.

### Phase 5

While assisting the gangs that ran central province of District 3, Dorian suggested to get into contact with one of his old associates whom he names "Smi'erci", mentioning that she was formerly Naofa's deputy of her Vordus command, and retired sometime after the Sector C insurrection, she held the rank of Commodore. Two cruisers were above District 3 of Homebase during the Resistance's rescue operation of Ichor Seraphim, under the command of Captain Mott. They were patrolling the airspace, up until the OWGRO lab raid, where towards the end: the Nexus' anti-cruiser cannon activated and fired at the cruisers, as an attempt by the Resistance to clear the airspace. The Light Cruiser, commanded by Lieutenant Nilus, narrowly evaded the blast, only colliding with its top surface, while the standard Cruiser - that Mott commanded in - endured the full blast. To make matters worse, the cannon was fired at its lowest reactor setting, causing the 1,6 km long cruiser to crash and completely level with the metropolitan area of Central Province, Mott perishing along with it.

## Uniform

The uniform varies in the navy, most notable is between the Navy and the Marine Services. Noncommissioned naval officers, or "Crewmen", are issued with a light gray colored coverall designed for work on the bridge and in the hangars of a ship. On the right arm of the uniform is a pocket used for containing security cylinders, and just above is the crewman's rank insignia. At the end of the right sleeve is also an integrated PDA used for tasks primarily around the hangar and bridge. On the left arm is a pocket pouch with the 5th Army's red circle displayed just above it. Line and warrant officers are issued with the more iconic and recognizable gray tunic, pants and black pair of boots, two chest pockets are located on the far side of each chest, used to contain security cylinders, and lastly the officer's rank plaque is displayed on the left side of the chest. Both uniforms come with a black belt equipped around the midriff, along with a designation disk on the belt buckle. Crewmen are issued with a black colored cap that shares the same design as every other in the military, the emblem displayed on the cap takes shape of a triangle within a ring, symbolizing the iconic dagger shaped design of a Cruiser. An officer's cap is the exact same as a crewman's, only that it is colored gray. Senior officers, in this case a Grand Admiral, are issued a white variant of the officer's uniform, with golden epaulettes on the shoulders.

Commodore Xiang and the entire Ring Squadron officer corps are the only naval officers in the entire branch to wear an exclusive and unique uniform, which is a black variant of the tunic uniform similar to the OWISCB's, however it daunts red linings along the tunic's edges, sleeves and cuffs. A matching colored cap has also been observed to be worn by Ring Squadron officers.

Because the Navy's operation is primarily onboard a ship, they do not have an issued uniform or any sort of uniform code out in the field, and is instead almost exclusive for the Marine Services. In a situation where a naval officer or crewman is in a battlefield, they're simply equipped with a heavy grade kevlar vest and the Mk.III Combat Armor helmet paired with the visor.

Naval crewmen and officers are trained to use basic firearms, crewmen are not authorised to carry a firearm while on duty, and instead must get theirs from an armory locker incase of an emergency. Officers on the other hand are authorized to carry their standard issued sidearmwhile on duty. The Navy is supplied with the same armaments as the rest of the military, primarily the LE 5-7 pistol and the OI-89 assault rifle.
