Sol Federation Galaxy Garrison
The Sol Federation Galaxy Garrison (often abbreviated SFGG) is the military division of the Sol Federation. Founded in response to the increasingly space-oriented battles of World War Three, SFGG is tasked with keeping order throughout the Sol Federation. They are responsible for such things are protection against space weather and asteroids, maintaining many of the research bases, and general peacekeeping. As such, they have a fleet of pilots, along with various ground troops. They also run many of the scientific endeavors of the government, including Project Necromancer.
Structure
SFGG is commanded in whole by the High Admiral, who reports directly to the Prime Minister. Below them are the various Admirals in charge of different parts of the military: starfighter command, ground command, procurement and supply, intelligence command, technology services, support services, training command, and medical command. Each department has its own hierarchy of projects, ships, and units within it, but they all follow the same standard ranking.
The ranking is a modified version of the one used by many pre-WWIII militaries, with enlisted personnel, NCOs, and commissioned officers. In descending order they are:
COs:
High Amiral
Admiral
Rear Admiral
Colonel
Major
Captain
Commander
Lieutenant Commander
Lieutenant
NCOs:
Major Sargent
Operations Sargent
Sargent
Enlisted:
Corporal
Private
Culture
Interestingly, perhaps due to the distinct military influences on the Federation from its founding, SFGG has much more of a hand in the other departments under the Ministry than the rest. SFTD is effectively a subset of SFGG, the Rings are a joint effort with the Ministry of Energy, the Ministries of Agriculture and Commerce depend on SFGG pilots, SFGG runs many educational institutions also supported by the Ministry of Education, and, perhaps the greatest example of all, the primary project of the EPD is actually run out of SFGG's scientific division: Project Necromancer.
History
SFGG was formed out of the Sanity Restoration League's military force at the end of World War Three. Their very first task, a result of the Tragedy of Jerusalem, was to remove all nuclear missiles from the former countries' possession. Many were repurposed into starship engines, but some were sealed in nuclear waste storage. From there, SFGG continued to keep the peace throughout Earth under the guidance of the Sol Federation.
With the increasing colonization efforts on Mars, SFGG was tasked with training more and more people in professions useful to the efforts. As a result, Levett Base was founded in the Sonoran Desert as the primary training ground for officers, engineers, pilots, and other professions. Over time, it also grew into the primary science division of SFGG, along with the headquarters for the Earth-based intelligence servicers.
Despite the Mars colonies, the Sol Federation was still struggling to get enough food, and the Prime Minister was forced to enact a rationing system in 2113. SFGG was called in to put down riots and violent protests that resulted. These actions gained them a bit of a boogeyman status within the Federation for the next hundred years. This only partially changed when Rear Admiral Akane Shirogane started Project Necromancer.
The Éskhayklos grew into a powerful force in the Federation at the same time as Project Necromancer and turned to outright terrorism a few years after Shirogane died. SFGG formed ESAU in response. Now, they are steadily working to root the Éskhayklos out, but further problems are brewing on the horizon...
Peace. Security. Freedom.
