The Dlarit Navy (DN) is the naval arm of the Dlarit Corporation and incorporates both fleet and starfighter divisions. The navy is led by the fleet commander, who reports to the the Governor General of Orian and the rest of the Corporation's executive board. Based in the Orian system, Platform Onyx serves as the main repair and refuelling station for the fleet. While recruitment drives are carried out elsewhere, many of the navy's personnel are plucked from among the Corporation's mining employees, receiving training at the Naval Academy on Tarthos.
The Dlarit Navy is organised around the flag, the Republic-class Star Destroyer Final Way, two defense lines, and a mobile reconnaissance fleet. Ordinarily, the navy is charged with the patrol of the Orian system and the surrounding spacelanes to-and-from the nearby super-hyperroute, the Hydian Way, thereby ensuring trade routes remain open. Other than in times of war, the navy's terms of engagement do not not normally allow it to deviate from its day-to-day duties.
When necessarily, the Dlarit Special Operations Group provides trained combat troops and pilots to serve onboard the navy's starships. To assist in this end, a permanent commissar is stationed on each cruiser to serve as a liaison between the two units. In addition, a designated surface commander is assigned to each ship to provide captains with a degree of continuity as and when operational requirements call on his or her ship to serve as a troop transport.
Much of the original Dlarit Navy originated from ships stolen from the old Imperial warlords of the Minos Cluster during the Exodus of 19 ABY. However, during the Fall of Antei of 27 ABY, most of the original fleet was devastated and the Orian system remained ill-defended until new vessels under order in the Corporate Sector in the name of Kaldex Transport Inc were completed. With the agreement of Kaldex's owners, the replacement fleet was launched in 28 ABY.
While the fleet grew again in 30 ABY, much of the navy was damaged the following year during the joint Yuuzhan Vong and Peace Brigade siege of the Orian system, leaving many ships in need of severe repair. Thankfully the Yuuzhan Vong War was now over, however the fleet remained beneath full operational efficiency throughout the conquest of Salas V, which left the Corporation ill-prepared for the refugee and Ekind uprisings of 32 and 33 ABY.
