Imperial Teienai Navy

The **Imperial Teienai Navy**, **ITN** for short, is the space-faring arm of the Teienai Armed Forces. Administratively under the control of the Ministry of the Navy and under the general command of the Imperial Headquarters, the ITN is headed by Marshal-Admiral Count Gendo Chotende, his flagship being the *RTNS Suki*.

The ITN not only has the military job of securing and protecting The Realm of Teienai, its people, interests and territory, but also acts as a space policing force, in charge of orbital controls, anti-piracy patrols and similar jobs.

The ITN has several military academies and a quasi-military youth organization in the Imperial Teienai Naval Cadet Corps.

## Organization

*See also: Structure of the Imperial Teienai Navy.*
One of the most prestigeous units is the female-only Onna-Musha Strike Force, with *RTNS Naginata* in the lead.

### Operating Forces

Aside from the Warrior Maidens, the ITN has a variety of forces, both big and small, for a variety of tasks, starting with the Patrol Groups (like Patrol Group 54) to the large Mobile Units, which form the core of the offensive capabilities of the ITN. Though varying in size and focus considerably, the twenty Mobile Units are considerable concentrations of force. Mobile Unit 7, under the command of Marshal-Admiral Makoto Richi aboard the *RTNS Tessen*, is known as the largest of these. Mobile Unit 8 is the ITN's center for shipgirl operations.

### Relationship with the Imperial Teienai Army

Army and Navy have a long, if complicated relationship: Much like the Navy has its own ground forces in the ITN-Marines, the Army has its own space arm, the Army-Fleet, which is mostly tasked with operating and escorting their troop ships - the Navy's job is punching through the enemy to make that job not *too* hard.

Often, however, ships of the Navy work close with the Planetary Assault Forces, like the 10th, and the Raiding Group, like the 8th Division.

### Kaibokan of varying sizes

Kaibokans are short-range, usually system-internal vessels designed to escort ships from planet to planet, for policing tasks and as warships for systems defense. They usually are equipped with Class 0 Hyperdrives, for them to move quickly through systems, but they are not interstellar travel capable.

The only exception is the Izumi-class Large Kaibokan, which is equipped with a Class 5 Hyperdrive.
