Background
The GSU Navy is the branch responsible for conducting space warfare operations. This includes exploration and expeditions into uncharted regions of space to benefit the interests of the GSU. In addition, the Navy is also responsible for the orbital defense of each planet through the consistent presence of a home fleet, in conjunction with a network of orbital defense platforms. Naturally, the Navy closely works with the GSU Marine Corps, and is responsible for transport of marine infantry as part of operations concerning warfare and expeditions.
After the Xarqiin Invasion, the Air Force became merged with the Navy. As a result, the training regimens designed for space fighter pilots and aircraft pilots have been combined, as have the functionalities of the many vehicles used by both branches. Fighter craft are now capable of seamless transition between the atmosphere and the vacuum of space to suit a variety of different combat roles.
Technology
Following the Xarqiin conflict, the latest iterations of each of these long-used ship classes were publicly unveiled in order to uplift public spirits as well and instil faith and loyalty to the Galactic Systems Union. Leading this new fleet of warships is the Eternity-Class Dreadnaught - the most powerful warship ever created by humanity.
