The Terran Federation

I Swear to uphold and defend the Constitution of the Terran Federation, I swear to protect and safeguard the Future of Humanity, I swear to lay down my life in the Defense of Earth and all of Mankind's worlds. I shall fight to reclaim our Lost Glory; I shall sacrifice to defend out Rightful Borders, I shall serve to raise Humanity into the stars and beyond.
-The Oath of Terran Servicemen

History

What Once Was

Once long ago, Mankind had over the centuries united under the free and democratic rule of the United Nations, with the year 2432 marking the end of the last independent nation states and the establishment of not only a world government, but one to govern the colonies of mankind's great nations. This new United Humanity would spread across the stars without slowing or challenge, and as they spread, they brought new glories and wealth to mankind, settled new worlds and brought about great technological advancements once only dreamed of in the minds of visionaries centuries ago. Mankind came to control nearly every corner of the Milky Way Galaxy, it unlocked the secrets of the universe and built great wonders and projects beyond the scope ever before seen in the history of mankind.

As mankind expanded, it found itself not alone in the galaxy, and found a greatly many primitive species scattered across the stars, some barely capable of basic agriculture, and others taking those first tentative steps into orbit. Mankind established secret bases above each of these worlds, observing and studying these sentient species, mankind began to lay out the framework for their ascension under the close watch and protection of the Human Race.

The Hyperlane network, the means by which mankind could traverse the stars, was a network of travel achieved by the use of the previously unknown Hyperparticle, which allowed for Vessels to achieve a weightless state that allowed Faster than Light Travel, permitting rapid and on the tail end of Mankind's golden age, near instant travel across the galaxy through these routes. But in the year 2545 everything would change for all of Mankind and the Galaxy, the Hyperlane network had begun to become increasingly unstable and soon after the instability was noticed by the UN it collapsed, isolating all of mankind's world.

The Planet Earth, home to tens of Billions, began to starve and collapse as chaos consumed the world and all of Mankind. Her Fleets and Colonies were lost, its greatest advancements in science and culture were forgotten, and Earth descended into chaos and barbarism. Humanity's Golden Age had come crashing down upon the heads of mankind, and from the ashes of what once was, would rise a new human society.

The Time of Rebuilding

Slowly, over the centuries, the ruins of Earth would stabilize, and civilization would rebuild. But by the time Civilization truly began again, no one could remember the glory days of when Mankind touched the stars, when it crossed the galaxy in but a matter of minutes, and when all the galaxy was on the verge of unity under humanity. While none remembered, they all knew the stories told to them by their grandparents, who only knew the stories from their grandparents, who had seen the Fall as children.

Civilization would rebuild around the only abundant sources of food and water left on Earth, the UN's own ration stockpiles, which had been created in the immediate aftermath of the Fall in an attempt to consolidate all food on the planet and strictly ration it until the Hyperlane Network was reestablished and Earth could once again begin Food Imports from the rest of Human Civilization. However, with the collapse of the United Nations, these ration stockpiles became the centers of new communities and groups of human civilization, with the rest of Earth turned into a no man's land of vicious gangs, dangerous radiation leaks, rogue defense systems and empty, quiet city sectors

It was around these isolated ration stockpiles that civilization would rebuild, would thousands of ration sites across the world, each one was unique in some manner, many became military states or Stratocracies, reliant on the descendants of the UN Peacekeeping forces to maintain order and administer the rationing of food and water. Other ration sites became brutal dictatorship, democratic states, anarchist like communes or anyother government imaginable from human history. As centuries passed, and mankind rebuilt some semblance of civilization in the ruins of Earth, these isolated pockets expanded, becoming fully formed and organized nations, and they would slowly come into contact with each other, the people of Earth realizing that mankind had survived beyond their single communities.

Across the globe these societies came into contact with one another, many cases of contact ended peacefully, many overjoyed to discover the continued survival of human civilization beyond their communities, other such contacts ended in violence, war was waged between communities under the most basic of pretenses. The need for more food, more water, more space to live or just the general paranoia, mistrust and hatred so common in humanity.
After nearly six decades of collapse and rebuilding, the Earth began to stabilize a series of super states and regional powers, each one different from each other, beginning a new cold war as the world divided along ideological lines into three main pacts. The London Compact, the Tokyo Accord and Bogota Treaty Organization. Each Group maintained its own designs on the fate of humanity and Earth and were considered by many as simply unable to reconcile their differences.

The London Compact was a loose Assocation of states primarily spanning across Europe, the Middle East, Eastern North America and North Africa. The Compact represented a growing sense of division among humanity, with it's member states hardly trusting eachother and primarily formed as a counterwight to it's chief rivals, the Compact was primarily concerned with preventing the formation of a new Human Super State.

The Tokyo Accord was an expansive and well integrated Military and Economic Alliance spanning much of Asia, the Pan-Pacific and Western North America. the Accord sought to unite mankind under a strong central government to guide the species back to the stars and reclaim its place in the Galaxy, and due to the large focus on the military among Accord members, often seen as overbearing by it's detractors and enemies.

Finally, the Bogota Treaty Organization, comprised of nations across South America, Sub Saharan Africa and the Oceanic Region, was a union of states that while seeking Human reunification, wanted so through democratic means and the restoration of a free Republic to unite all of mankind and return to the stars.

After decades of Cold War, the London Compact would begin to collapse under its own weight and divisions, along with a growing sentiment for unification among the populace and political establishments, and by 2700, the Bogota Treaty Organization and Tokyo Accord would reach an uneasy peace, and after years of negotiations and diplomatic circuses, would announce the formation of the Terran Federation.

The Terran Federation

The Unification Wars and Militia Crisis

When the Terran Federation was formed by the BTO and TA in 2709, it would come to encompass the entire pacific, much of Asia, North America and would begin to spread its influence across the globe with the end of the London Compact. However, not every part of the world would be willing to submit to the newly formed union, with nations and militant groups across the globe opposing the attempt by the Federation to expand and annex their homelands, with the Federation Army fighting its first war during an invasion of the Balkans to prevent growing ethnic conflict amid the collapse of the Balkan Federation.

Following the Invasion of the Balkans, the Federation would begin an protracted war with the Remants of the European Federation, Iberian Union and United Kingdoms of Scandanavia. Even following these wars, the Federation would be forced to contend with a long bloody invasion of the Commonwealth of Albion and a grueling guerilla conflict across the alps, with many local garrisons of the European Federation refusing the order to surrender to the Terran Federation, with the guerilla conflict only ending two decades later during the Militia Crisis. Following the assimilation of the last remnants of the London Compact into the Federation, there existed not a single nation state on the globe, save that of the Terran Federation.

However, even with the unity of all Earth under the Terran Federation, there was a great amount of resistance to the newfound unity. what became known as the Militia Crisis, running from the end of the Unification Wars in 2711 to the Siege of Denver in 2725, the Federal Military would have to face a large number of hostile anti-government militias scattered across Earth, ranging from simple anti-government conspiracists, to hostile secessionist forces seeking to dismantle the Federation.

The Largest standoff during this period was the event dubbed the Siege of Denver, in which the Federal Military was forced to storm the City of Denver when a large force of rebels, proclaiming themselves the Second Continental Army, seized the city and declared an act of succession for the formation of a new American Republic. Following 9 months of intense urban combat, the Denver capitol building was stormed and the leaders of the SCA killed, ending the battle for the city, with the battle becoming what was considered the end of the Militia Criss.

Even with the Crisis declared over, the Federation would spend years further crushing the remnants of the many groups it had fought during the crisis, and even today the occasional antigovernment militia will pop up on Earth or the colonies. While no such group has achieved the same success of those who came before, often numbering in the dozens and lasting a few short days of open defiance, they remain a sour point in the image the Federation has cultivated to the wider human populace as a uniting force of peace and stability.

The Journey to the Stars

Following the end of the Militia Crisis, the Federation began a true period of rebuilding and reorganizing the State, slowly corroding the sovereignty and power of the nation states constituting the Federation, along with grand plans of ambitions in the stars, and plans too once again tame space for all of mankind.

The Terran Federation sought this and more, and as Earth was rebuilt, drones and scout ships scattered across the Sol System, establishing and recovering ancient mining facilities, research labs, naval dry docks and orbital habitats. While no fellow survivors were found, the expedition brought much needed material, scientific knowledge and the means to enter the galaxy once again, but the lack of human survivors began a spiraling depressing in Terran Society. Located in the City of Madrid, a great monument was built to all of humanity who perished beyond earth, trapped in a dying galaxy far away from their homeworld, where all mankind came from.

This Reclamation campaign of the Sol System would result in the occupation of the Armstrong Station upon the Moon in 2735, the only permeant Federation Base on the Moon besides the DX-1 Thumper Station which saw a Federation presence established in 2736. In 2755 Federation forces would arrive upon the Moons of Phobos and Deimos, the following years they would make landfall upon the Red World, Mars itself, establishing a presence at Olympus Station. While these expeditions would be major for the Federation, they would pale in comparison to a newly planned expedition, one on a scale not yet seen in the federation.

Other Notable missions saw several moon bases reestablished across the system. mining operations restarted in the Asteroid Belts of the Sol System, and even the restoration of the Kuiper Project, which saw consolidation of several larger asteroids in the Kuiper Belt into the Kuiper Station, a large facility made within the asteroids and connecting them with more modern designs for a massive habitat for the mining crews and officials for the Kuiper Belt Mining Concern, along with their families, support staff and populace.

Now the Federation prepares for it's most ambitious project, for humanity to once again leave the Sol system once again, billions of humans watch as the TSS Zheng He, named for a long since dead explorer of ancient China, prepares to depart for Alpha Centauri, and seek out Mankind’s 1st extrasolar colony, New Jamestown. The most optimistic estimations told to the crew and the people of Earth, say that the humans of New Jamestown may still be alive, and if so, should be reunited under the banner of the Terran Federation, for the sake of all Mankind.

Terran Society

The Societies of Mankind have always been adaptive, taking in new ideas and developments to prevent stagnation and the destruction of humanity, and such a fact is no different in the Modern Terran Society, with mankind having developed new habits and ideas that allowed it to survive the fall and the needs or demands of the Federation.

Modern Culture

The Modern Culture of the Terran Federation is as diverse as it is artifical. While the Federation makes no attempt to stamp out preunification human cultures or identities, instead celebrating them as a patchwork fabric of a greater humanity, it none the less has attempted to foster a identity beyond these cultural ties, an identity of Terrans.

From a young age the Federation, through a mixture of state education, youth groups, public broadcasting and state sponsored events and festivals, has sought to foster in it's citizens a united identity around what is describes as Common Terran Values. These include civil participation, with citizens strongly encouraged to have served in the Military, Civil Service or other Public Institutions. Along with a idea that being Terran comes before any cultural or religious identity, and a strict sense of discipline in one's own life. While mankind has not fully embraced the ideas of the new Terran identity, none can deny the Federation has already moulded millions into embracing it's core values.

Modern Humanity can often be described as Spartan at times, at least in reference to living conditions, despite the reestablishment of an agriculture base and a self-sufficient economy, luxury is an uncommon site in the Federation, instead simple living conditions have become a federal standard, often for simplified management by federal authority in programs to guarantee every citizen the 5 Guarantees: Guaranteed Housing, Guaranteed Food, Guaranteed Employment, Guaranteed Entertainment and Guaranteed Education.

The Five Guarantees

The State maintains the 5 Guarantees via the De León Programs, named so for the mastermind of the 5 Guarantees High Councilor Fernando De León(2724-2730), which includes federal subsidies for agriculture and a strict system of rationing for basic food items, a massive federal public works program to employ citizens and construct free government housing, a federally managed free education system on all levels of education, and an extensive program promoting sport competitions, youth sport clubs, musical arts and other such avenues of entertainment.

While modern Humanity can be called spartan in living condition, the same cannot be same in personality and social interaction. Humans are inherently social creatures, as demonstrated across its history, even those considered anti-social or introverted having in some way social relations, be it in small family units or greater societal wholes, so it is no surprise in the Modern Federation such social bonds are heavily promoted and encouraged.

Youth Clubs, patriot clubs, and other such organizations operate to build bonds of fellowship and unity across all sorts of lines. Seeking to build a more interconnected human society, breaking down barriers of ethnic, religion or national origins, hoping to formulate a new human identity beyond petty divisions that divided mankind in the past. Beyond these organizations, the Federation maintains a vast network of public broadcasting, which provide all forms of entertainment from both the present and across mankind's past. Ancient songs, plays, movies and TV shows are played to a planet wide audience, seeking to further bolster a connection with Pre-Fall humanity and a sense of continuing in their footsteps.

Nationality

Despite the best efforts of the Federation Government to foster a sense of unity among the people of Earth and the Greater Sol System, a strong sense of National Identity remains in much of the population of the Federation, but a growing trend has slowly begun to change such ideas and views among the Human Populace, but such a trend remains mostly isolated to the Non-Earth Human populace.

Upon Mars, Luna, the many bases across the system and the Kuiper Station, with the human populace of these stations dislocated with the nations of their origin or the origin of their parents or grandparents, a growing sense of Human Nationalism has taken root. Often such Human populations won't call themselves Albions, Europeans, Indian or Bactrian, instead preferring to call themselves Terran, further fostered by the Federation, this sentiment has taken root among the humans beyond Earth, with a majority just describing themselves as Terran when asked by independant pollsters.

Upon Earth is a different story, many older generations remember the days of independent nation states upon Earth, and maintain a strong connection to their national heritage, the next generation remember the Militia Crisis, the fiery speeches of demagogues and passionate moves to action by national revolutionaries still echo among those of the Crisis Generation, who dream of the so-called glory days. Even the Younger Generations who have grown up under the Federation, often have chaffed at the spartan living standards and strict discipline found in schools, and while many of them have partaken in the patriotic clubs, learned the history of a greater united humanity, and have shown a growing sense of human nationalism, many others have embraced their own heritage as an act of rebellion against the Federation and their fellows.

Religion

Religion has always been a constant in Human society, from the very first Human civilizations to the modern-day, religions in all forms have existed in some way, and even to the time of the Terran Federation is no different, with religion still, despite what many naysayers called the inevitable march of atheism, being active and alive among the Federation's Populace.

Before the Fall, Atheism had become the plurailty belief system for the Human species, with the Abrahamic religions combined serving as a close second place, with smaller more localized faiths, or Pagan revival groups scattered across human territory. This trend would be starkly reversed when the Fall came to Humanity however, with many turning to religion as a source of comfort and solace as Human civilization collapsed.
Across the globe, millions turned to religion for salvation and hope in the darkness of mankind's collapse, organized religions, such as the Catholic Church, proved immensely influential across the globe, even as the Diocese lost contact with each other and the Papacy in Rome, with individual churches and religious orders serving as a staple for many communities. Other larger churches and religious groups would also survive the fall and regain lost influence and size from the millions of converts and returning believers seeking some sense of purpose and faith.

The unification of Humanity under the Terran Federation would see the implementation of State Secularism, the Federation neither endorsing or impeading any religion, declaring all equal under the law and permitting federation citizens to follow whatever faith they desire, with certain exceptions. Religions are barred from interfering in the political process, partaking in human sacrifice, solicitating donations for illegitimate purposes or other illegal activities. Violations of such rules can be grounds for any such organized faith or church to be forcefully shut down and its leadership arrested depending on the severity of the crimes committed.

During the Militia Crisis, religious extremist groups were a near constant across the globe, sowing chaos and disorder whereever they operated, often forcing the Federal Military to employ strict measures to suppress these groups. To this day religious extremists make up a large portion of the modern milita movement, with occasional flare ups even making it into Federal news.

The Federal Government

The Terran Federation Government is divided into two Branches of Government, the Federal Council and The Federal Supreme Court, these two branches of government follow a fusion of powers model, with the executive position of the state incorporated in the Federal Council's Legislative Role in the Government.

The Federal Council

The Official Leadership of the Federation is The Federal Council, a Legislative Body representing the interests and goals of all mankind. Only those who have served in the Federation Military for a minimum of 4 years or served in the Civil Service for a total of 5 years are eligible to be elected to the Federal Council, keeping power firmly among the traditional governing apparatus of the Federation, ostensibly this is to prevent those who lack the skills and even temper to lead from attaining high office within the Federation. In practice however, this is to ensure those that pursue politics share similar values to the Federal Government, and ensure a government of Terran Patriots first and foremost.

The Federal Council holds the final Legislative say over the apparatus of the state, holding absolute power within the borders of the Federation and directly defines every aspect of policy, though the Council is often taken under the leadership of the internally elected High Councilor, though weaker High Councilors or those simply uninterested in micromanaging the state allows the Council to take the direction of the state within their hands.

The Federal Council is staffed by a total of 452 Councilors, with each Federal District of the Federation sending 4 Councilors to the Federal Council Assembly Halls located in the City of New York. Each Councilor serves a term of 6 years before having to retire, with no Councilor being allowed to serve more than a single term in the Council, this is to primarily prevent the rise of career politicians and the entrenchment of corruption in the council. 110 of the 113 Federal Districts of the Federation are located on Earth, the 3 Districts located outside of Eartn being those belonging to Luna, Mars and the Kuiper Station.

The High Councilor

The High Councilor is the chief Executive of the Federation, they hold the position of Command-in-Chief of the Terran Armed Forces, along with being the official head of state and head of government for the Federation, the High Councilor is the highest post and the most prestigious post in the Federation. The High Councilor is elected internally by the Federal Council, requiring a simple majority of the seated Councilors to elect them to the post, in a case where a High Councilor is not elected, the first session may not formally end and the Councillors not permitted to leave until a High Councilor is elected.
The High Councilor is responsible for appointment to the Federal Cabinet, who are appointed from the ranks of the Federal Council to head the various Government Ministries, the signing and executing of laws, along with the nominating of Judges to the Federal Supreme Court. The High Councilor also holds the final say on all major military decisions, along with the responsibility to frequently address the Federal Council on all government directives and plans. The High Councilor is based in the Federal Council Assembly Halls, his office directly next to the assembly chambers.

The Federal Supreme Court

The Judicial Branch of the Federation is the Federal Supreme Court, extensively designed to prevent abuse by the Government of the common citizenry, in this manner only judges of 10 years' experience may be nominated for the position of judge, under a presumed name with nothing but their position on issues and experience given to the public and Federal Council. This system, however, has been known to be subject to abuse, as such a small group of Federal Councilors selected at random to review all nominations behind closed doors, and if approved move to the general vote, with the councilors aware of the identity isolated and forbidden from voting.

The Court holds the sole power to remove from their post's members of the Federal Council and the High Councilor along with the ability to remove the highest-ranking officers within High Command, this power has been used sparingly, with the Court never having removed a High Councilor but having removed just over two dozen Councilors and two members of High Command since it's formation. The Court is based in the Hague.

Terran Politics

While the Terran Federation's Government is designed to prevent the entrenchment of career politicians, this has not stopped the entrenchment of political institutions and figures within the system, and this is primarily exersised though the political parties of the Terran Federation.

Terran Citizens Association

The Terran Citizens Association(TCA), is the largest and ruling Party of the Federation since it's formation, with the TCA holding the largest number of seats and every High Councilor since it's formation after the end of the Militia Crisis.

Founded by the first wave of Councilors to retire after the Crisis, the TCA was first envisoned as a purely no political organization meant to foster Terran Nationalism and unity among the general public, but as time went on and the organization grew, it found sitting councilors joining it's ranks and before long was actively partaking in the political process to elect members who had not previously served on the Federal Council into the instiution.

The TCA is in many ways inherently linked to the ideas of the Federation, with the Men and Women who shaped the Federation being it's founders and the organization promoting those of the same vision into it's leadership. It stands for Terran Nationalism, Concepts of Human Expansionism, support for the political status quo and often revanchist rhetoric.

Terran Reform Club

The Terran Reform Club(TRC), is the primary opposition to the TCA in the Federal Council, holding the second largest number of seats and having on more then one occasion come close to capturing the High Councilorship.

The TRC was formed 2734 in reaction to the growing influence and power of the TCA in the Federal Council, with many of it's founders and early members being a combination of opposition figures and prominent political organizers. The TRC quickly grew across Earth, gathering to it a large coalition of anti establishment and opposition figures, which while greatly enlarging it, has given it a lack of a central political identity.

The TRC advocated reform to the Terran System of Government and Society, being proponents for the Removal of Service requirements to become a Councilor, rescinding Articles 35 and 36 from the constitution, along with limiting the power of the Central Government over local Federal District Governments and seeking to remove the influence of the Military from the political process.

National Autonomy Union

The National Autonomy Union(NAU) is a paradoxial force within Terran Politics, the NAU broke off from the TRC in the 2760s, after a failed vote in the TRC's central committee to endorse the abolishment of the federation districts and redrawing internal boundires on old national and cultural lines. This sparked an exodus from the TRC of hardcore nationalists and regionalists seeking to form their own organization to effect political change.

The NAU was formed primarily among nationalists and cultural heritage groups, seeking to in their eyes protect their national heritage which they felt was under threat from a Federation that had eroded the sovereignty of and eventually dissolve it's member nations. The NAU has primarly found support in the old states of the London Compact, but maintains a presense across Earth, though it had no branches on the Moon, Mars or Kuiper Station.

The NAU advocates many of the same policies of the TRC, removing military influence from politics, lowering the barriers for entrance into the Federal Council, and limiting the powers of the Central Government. However the NAU takes this final point a step further, with the NAU advocating the dissolving of the Federal Districts and redrawing internal administrative boundaries along old National borders or cultural lines. The most radical elements of the NAU even advocate the dissolution of the Federation entirely, with this measure primarily supported by those of European descent.

The Armed Forces

Officially the United Armed Forces of the Terran Federation, the UAFTF is split into Three Branches: The Federal Army, Federal Navy and Federal Air Force. It is these three military branches that manage all military efforts within the Federation, everything from basic logistics for the entire federation military or otherwise, the maintaining of order and stability across Earth, and the Sol System.

High Command

High Command is the central military command of the entire Federal Terran Armed Forces. Arranged around Army, Aerial and Naval Command, High Command is staffed by the highest-ranking officers in the Federation, with decades of experience and wildly well known among the public, in a joint council of military officials, heading by the Chief of the Armed Forces, an office appointed by the High Councilor.

High Command has long been called by it's detractors "The Third Branch of Government." This labeling by it's critics is for two primary reasons. The first being the fact the military reserves the right to, in accordance to article 36 of the Federal Constitution, step in and relieve the Federal Council and High Councilor of the burden to lead the Federation in times of Emergency, which can be declared as outlined in article 35, notably such an act can only occur if either 2/3rds of the Council or Court approve of the act and they are officially invited to act by the High Councilor, such a stipulation within the constitution is to prevent the military from simply engaging in a military coup under thinly veiled legality, and allowing it only under the more dire of circumstances.

The second reason is the large degree of influence the Military has over state policy, prominent military officers often retire from service by entering government to serve a term on the Council before finally ending their careers, meaning there is a large pipeline from military service to the Government. In addition, the High Command has a large amount of sway over military policy, changes often made at their suggestion by the Council for the sake of National Defense and Internal Security.

The Federal Army

The Federal Army handles all ground-based operations of the Military, from military patrols on Earth, the protection of the Federal Council Chambers, to the Army Gendarmerie serving as a Federation wide policing force. The Army remains largely untested against any conventional force, as it has been decades since the Wars of Unification, but many hope within the Government, Military and common citizenry that the galaxy they venture into has no need for a military or wars, but if they are needed, the Federal Army is ready to answer the call of the Federation and all Humanity.

The Federal Army itself is based on the Mix and Model of uniting the Armed forces of the Tokyo Accord and Bogota Treaty Organization, with the Military Doctrine of the Army being focused on large scale strategic decision making, with focus giving on moving units across the field of battle, and a very top-heavy command structure for the Army, and a severe lack of a solid lower officer core with the intendance necessary for operational autonomy.

The Army is headquartered in the Army Office, located in Beijing.

The Federal Navy

The Federal Navy handles all naval operations of the military, protecting transpiration routes, construction of space stations, providing orbital support and naval transportation etc. The Navy shares with the Army an untested modern state against possible enemies, with many hoping they will never have to face an enemy in battle, the Navy itself however, stands ready to serve and protect mankind and the federation if called.

The Federal Navy was completely structured and built from the ground up, with a focus on the individual action of each ship in the Navy as a part of a greater structural command, this has led to Terran Captains having immense autonomy within any plan laid out by the admirals and HIGHCOM, with it expected Terran captains will take actions and moves deemed necessary as long as greater plans are not compromised.

The Navy is headquartered in the Navy Office, located in Moscow.

The Federal Marine Corp

While in the past, nations have had Marine Corps operating as their own autonomous military Branch within the structure of a national military, the Terran Federation instead created its own dedicated Marine Core directly under the command of the Federal Navy, serving as armed security aboard Naval ships, specialized units for ship-to-ship boarding action and small-scale specialized missions where the Army system is deemed too cumbersome.

The Marine Core is rather small in scale, only being formed in 2765, with the largest military component of the Marines being a series of 6 regiments, each Regiment is split into 3 Battalions, and each Battalion is split into 3 Combat Companies and a Command Company, Compat Companies are further split into 3 Platoons split into 5 Squads. Each Squad is composed of 6 Soldiers, so each Platoon has 30 Servicemen, each Company has 90, and each battalion has 300, with 30 men apart of the command company.

The Marine Core is headquartered in the Navy Office, located in Moscow.

The Federal Air Force

The Federal Air Force handles all non-Naval Aerial Operations, but due to the acceptance of naval doctrine, the Air Force has increasingly accepted that they are reliant on the Navy for any extra solar operations aboard naval vessels. The Air Force stand ready however, to answer the call of the Federation whenever needed and fly to its defense and the defense of mankind.

The Federal Air Force operates small scale flights and squadrons, with specialized and general craft used for specific tasks, be that short range patrols, long range scouting, air support for ground elements of the Army and Marines, support in naval combat (which is currently just wargames) or direct air to air combat to test the skill of Federal Pilots.

The Air Force is headquartered in the Air Office, Located in Cape Town.
