Harpsbilgian Royal Navy
"It won't be long before these Seas are in my hands. If the pirates won't budge that just means we have to go through with it the hard way. They won't like the hard way."
-Estella Fairford, Major General
Intro
The strongest navy on the Seas, the Harpsbilgian Royal Navy is a force to be reckoned with. Stocked with a near-endless supply of ships, ammunition, and sailors, the navy can spend its time thoroughly decimating any foe in front of it. That, coupled with the fact that it has incredibly aggressive policies towards pirates sends a chill down the spine of any cutthroat with any desire to live.Agenda
There are three primary goals of the Harpsbilgian Royal Navy operating in the Six Sea region; to ensure that Harpsbilge remains a dominant trading power, to ensure the Seas remain safe for Harpish sailors, and to expand the influence on Harpsbilge in the region when possible.The first and second goals are achieved through the issuance of protective ships for select merchant vessels. More importantly, the navy has established an aggressive policy towards pirates, with a code of no forgiveness and increasingly frequent incursions into The Green Sea.

He commands navy operations from afar, in his office in Harpsfordshire.The Major General responsible for the Six Seas region is the recently transferred Estella Fairford, an ambitious young woman with a burning hatred for pirates.

Ships & Resources
The navy has a total of over 3000 operational ships, about 1200 of which are currently sail the Six Seas. About half of these ships are galleys, with the rest varying widely. Despite having the technology, the navy lacks a significant number of fast but small ships, preferring the larger and slower ones.Ships protect and are repaired at about 5 Harp-controlled ports across the seas. Additionally, there are a number of outpost islands scattered around the seas, each of which serves as the home base for a small fleet of ships sailing through the area
