PDRMN Logistics Support Fleet
Not actually the PDRMN Logistics Fleet, which delivers fuel and supplies to the hundreds of Martian ships around the system, but instead a force dedicated to protecting those ships. These ships travel in small convoys of PDRM Logi Craft, dissuading pirates.
This is generally seen as the worst detail in the PDRM, but its personnel are frequently back at Mars, and the routes, though boring, are very quiet, allowing for effecting training of new recruits, as well as a nice calm command for a retiring officer. These routes are especially favored for engineering recruites, as this allows them to get a basic experience with many PDRM systems and ships, as Logi craft visit nearly all of them in the course of their duties.

Structure
While the force itself is commanded by a rear admiral aboard the PDRMN Chryse , the entire fleet is overseen by the Logistics Commander, a Vice Admiral. Each task group, typically consisting of a cruiser and a few frigates, is assigned to a convoy for a varying duration, typically 2 months.
Tactics
The logistics fleet modus operandi is entirely based around protecting the Logi ships. As such, upon the detection of hostile elements, all logi ships must go to full thrust, while the LSF ships will begin accelerating towards the threat in a standard formation, leaving at least 1/3 of their force with the accelerating Logi ships.
Training
These ships are typically crewed by new crewmen, to allow them to get experience while under very little threat.
