EGSDF Space Navy

From Egs Mayhem

Revision as of 04:09, 25 March 2010

The EGSDF Space Navy, usually called simply "The Navy" due to the apparent lack of a maritime branch of the EGSDF, forms Mayhem's first line of defense from spaceborne threats. The Navy is currently split into two camps: the Reclamation Force, under the command of Fleet Admiral Redstone, and the Loyalists, under the command of Captain Sommerset of the MSC Galveston.

Navy Special Warfare

Navy Special Warfare, otherwise known as SpecWar or BlackOps, is a highly-trained special-operations branch of the EGSDF Space Navy, tasked with performing direct-action and infiltration missions in zero-g and shipboard environments, as well as orbital drop deployments. Navy SpecWar equipment is among the best in the force, with standard equipment being an advanced stealth suit, and carrying a combined smart-grenade launcher and high velocity kinetic energy weapon. Exact capabilities of these systems are classified.

Office of Naval Intelligence

The Office of Naval Intelligence is, as its name suggests, a Navy-operated intelligence agency; the head of which reports directly to the Chief of Naval Operations. Not much is known about this agency outside of its mission parameters and general goal: ONI was founded to maintain a strategical and tactical advantage through the gathering and analysis of information regarding enemy, and possibly ally, ships, personnel, and military deployments. ONI appears capable of operation in a variety of mission types, including aerial imaging, signals analysis, and direct human intelligence, among other channels of information. It is believed that ONI is also tasked with performing psychological operations in support of Navy goals, but this has not yet been confirmed.
