PDRMN Opposition Fleet

Maintaining a watchful eye from Mars' L3 point, this fleet is based out of Contra Base, and patrols their sixth of the Asteroid Belt. However, they also often visit Earth while it is near them, or Jupiter, and can quickly respond to incidents on their side of the solar system, acting as backup and reinforcements.

Structure

Commanded by an Admiral, split into 3 task forces, the Ares battle group, and the 2 battleship task forces. Those 2 task forces are commanded by a pair of PDRMN Rear Admiral.

Logistics

Logistical Support

This forces is primarily supplied, refueled and repaired at base Contra, though occasionally they will use an Asteroid Station if they happen to be in the area.

Upkeep

This group burns a little more fuel than typical, due to their relatively large operational domain.

Recruitment

This fleet is often seen as punishment detail, and is staffed mostly by crew in their second duty tour. This is because of the long distances, lack of any activity, and long time lag to home. However, it is seen as a favorite by more free-thinking officers, due to the long time lag allowing for relative independence, and more of a requirement for critical thinking.

History

Only formed after a hijacking of a martian mining operation while it was on the other side of the sun. Due to the heat, timelag and general curvy spacetime, the nearest PDRMN ship could get there would take a whole 3 weeks, and so the decision was made to establish a permanent presence at the Sol-Mars L3 point.
