Tatharian Navy
The Tatharian Navy is responsible for protecting the empire's waterways, securing trade routes, and engaging in naval warfare. It boasts an impressive fleet of warships, ranging from swift patrol vessels to massive galleons outfitted with powerful ballistae and magical defenses.
Structure
The Tatharian Navy, guided by the motto "Sailing with Courage, Defending with Pride," has a hierarchical organization structure designed to ensure efficient command and coordination of its naval forces. As with the Tatharian Army, the majority of the naval leadership is composed of humans or half-humans, with non-humans also able to rise through the ranks.
- Admiral of Azure Fleet – As the highest-ranking commissioned officer, the Admiral of Azure Fleet is responsible for overseeing the entire Tatharian Navy, developing naval strategies, and ensuring the overall readiness of the fleet and its crew members.
- Fleet Commanders – Reporting directly to the Admiral of Azure Fleet, Fleet Commanders are responsible for leading individual fleets, each consisting of several dozen ships. They coordinate with other Fleet Commanders and maintain discipline and efficiency within their ranks.
- Commodores – Each fleet is divided into multiple squadrons, each led by a Commodore. These officers manage the day-to-day affairs of their squadrons, ensuring that their ships and crew members are well-trained, equipped, and prepared for naval engagements. They report to their respective Fleet Commander.
- Captains – Captains are responsible for commanding individual ships within a squadron. They oversee the crew, maintain the ship's condition, and ensure that orders from higher-ranking officers are followed.
- Lieutenants – Lieutenants serve as second-in-command on ships, assisting the Captain with managing the crew, ship maintenance, and carrying out orders from higher-ranking officers.
- Warrant Officers – Warrant Officers are non-commissioned officers responsible for various technical and administrative duties aboard a ship. They report directly to their ship's Captain and Lieutenants, and may lead small teams of enlisted personnel.
- Enlisted Sailors – Enlisted sailors make up the majority of the Tatharian Navy's personnel, performing various duties essential to the functioning of the ship, such as navigation, maintenance, combat, and food preparation. They are organized into teams or divisions, each led by a Warrant Officer or higher-ranking officer.
