The Imperial Scholae Navy (ISN) and the Imperial Scholae Army (ICA) are the two major branches of the Scholae Imperial Armed Forces (CAF), used by the Scholae Empire and Clan Scholae Palatinae in defence of the clan's dominion. The ISN comprises of the collective identity of the entire Clan naval forces: the large warships, starfighters, and accompanying personnel. The ISN is made up primarily of two flotillas, each comprised of a collection of destroyers, cruisers, frigates, corvettes, assault craft and starfighters. The flagship of the Emperor of Scholae, the ISN Sidious, and the flagship of the Grand Vizier, his right hand, the ISN Vader, lead the first and second flotillas respectively. In addition, a third, smaller flotilla, under the command of the secret House Excidium, disguised as a non-governmental humanitarian aid mission, is officially unaffiliated with the Scholae Empire and used for infiltration and subterfuge. In addition, the Imperial Medical Station, the IMS Tipoca II, falls under the umbrella of the ISN. The navy is led by War Councillor Admiral TBA.
History
The Exodus
The story of how we ran away from the Emperor's Hammer, conquered the Cocytus System, founded the Scholae Empire and formed the Scholae Imperial Armed Forces, containing the Imperial Scholae Navy and Imperial Scholae Army.
The Eighth Great Jedi War
After massive losses sustained by all of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood's fleets in the Eighth Great Jedi War, steps were taken to recoup the losses. Then High Admiral Timbal helped the Consul in the bid to replenish the Clan's Fleet, successfully acquiring three heavy cruisers, the Renown, the Relentless and the Repulse, two Imperial II-class Star Destroyers and a relatively new design of star destroyer, the Nebula-class.

Elements
First Flotilla
Role
The First Flotilla is the largest of the flotillas in the Imperial Scholae Navy, and is primarily tasked with defense of the Scholae Palatinae dominion. The Flotilla contains the most powerful warship in the navy, the Victory-class Star Destroyer ISN Sidious. The ISN Sidious is the Flagship of Xen'Mordin Vismorsus, the Emperor of Scholae, and serves to house the officers and top leadership of the Scholae Empire as a centralised mobile command centre. The ISN Sidious is a 900-meter long Destroyer that is a warship designed to be atmospheric for planetary defense capable of planetary assault and troop support. It contains moderate carrying capacity and docks squadrons of TIE/D Defenders and TIE/SF Starfighters.
The ISN Sidious is supported in its primary objective to ensure security of the system by the rest of the Flotilla. The Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser, the ISN Tarkin, is a 600-meter long Cruiser designed to operate independently as a multi-role cruiser. Like the Sidious, it contains moderate carrying capacity, and docks squadrons of TIE/SF Starfighters and TIE/SA Bombers. The ISN Tarkin is used when the Sidious is unavailable and smaller warships are insufficient. Due to the moderate carrying capacity of the Sidious and the Tarkin, the First Flotilla is supported by 2 Quasar Fire-class Cruiser Carriers, each carrying 4 TIE/FO Starfighter Squadrons (total of 96 starfighters).
The Flotilla further contains smaller support warships, including two Corvettes, the 90 metre long Braha'tok-class Gunship and the 120 metre DP20 Corellian Gunship. Both of these gunships are exceptionally armed and specialise in anti-starfighter roles. Finally, the Flotilla contains smaller ships, including 4 flights of VT-49 Decimators (16 Decimators), a flight of Delta-class JV-7 Escort Shuttles and a flight of Kom'rk-class Fighters. These ships function as both assault ships and armed personnel transports.

Second Flotilla
Role
Smaller than the First Flotilla, the Second Flotilla is primarily tasked with tasked as the lead spear and offensive unit deployed into conflict. The Flotilla contains the largest carrier in the navy, the Venator-class Star Destroyer ISN Vader. The ISN Vader is the Flagship of Dr. Elincia Rei|, the Grand Vizier of Scholae Palatinae, and the foundation of any major attack, as well as a centralised mobile command centre. The ISN Vader is a 1137 metre long Destroyer designed as a versatile multi-role carrier capable of deep space and atmospheric operations. Able to deploy troops or starfighters through a large hangar across the entire topside of the vessel, it contains expansive carrying capacity and docks 3 TIE/SF Starfighter Squadrons, a TIE/D Defender Squadron and 4 TIE/FO Starfighter Squadrons.
The ISN Sidious is supported in its primary objective to attack hostile targets by the rest of the Flotilla. The Vindicator-class Heavy Cruiser, the ISN Thrawn, is a 600-meter long Cruiser designed to operate independently as a multi-role cruiser. It contains moderate carrying capacity, and docks squadrons of TIE/SF Starfighters and TIE/SA Bombers, providing both extra firepower and carrying capacity to the flotilla. The Acclamator-class Assault Ship, the ISN Amedda, is a 752-metre long Cruiser designed as a troop transport that could break enemy blockades and land directly into battle. The Amedda is the primary transport mechanism to bring troops to the surface during assault, and carries the 2nd Regiment of The Imperial Legion on board.
To provide more support in dealing with enemy starfighters, the First Flotilla is supported by 2a Quasar Fire-class Cruiser Carrier, carrying 4 TIE/FO Starfighter Squadrons (total of 48 starfighters). Finally, the Flotilla contains smaller assault ships, namely 4 flights of VT-49 Decimators (16 Decimators), which function as both assault ships and armed personnel transports.

List of Ships
Landing Craft
Role
The Landing Craft of the Imperial Scholae Navy don't belong to any particular flotilla, and are distributed on an 'as needed' basis. The Imperial Scholae Navy's Landing Craft division contains multi-purpose transport ships, including 2 flights (8) of state-of-the-art, heavily armoured and shielded Upsilon-class Command Shuttles as well as 2 flights (8) the smaller Lambda-class T-4a Shuttles which each carry 20 passengers. The Landing craft division also contains 3 Atmospheric Assault Lander Flights, 18-meter long troop transports designed for rapid deployment, each carrying 20 stormtroopers. In total, these shuttles carry 480 passengers (3 line companies).
The bulk of the carrying capacity of the Landing Craft is in the larger, specialist craft. The navy contains 5 flights of Sentinel-class Landing Craft, a 38-meter long troop transport unit designed as a heavily armored and shielded multipurpose drop ship for transporting troops and armor directly into battle safely. Each of these craft contain 75 stormtroopers, allowing the 5 flights to carry 1,500 troops (approximately 9 line companies and one assault company). Finally, the navy possesses 3 flights of Y-85 Titan Dropships, a 90-meter long dropship transport unit designed to deploy walkers or prefabricated garrison bases from powerful magnetic clamps into battle. The Titan Dropships each carry an armoured platoon, and the three flights in total carry three of the Imperial Scholae Army's 6 full armoured companies.

IMS Tipoca II
The IMS Tipoca II is a Haven-class Medical Station in orbit above Judecca. The circular station measures 652 metres in diameter, and is designed with eight medical bays around a central administration hub. Each of the eight medical bays contains an advanced medcentre with a 10,000 patient capacity. This gives a total capacity of 80,000 patients, which exceeds the number of stormtroopers in the Imperial Scholae Army. Furthermore, the IMS Tipoca II is capable of docking with with even massive warships, which facilitates both maintenance for the benefit the Navy's Star Destroyers and Heavy Cruisers as well as a quick vector for transporting wounded Navy personnel to the medical bays. 652-meter diameter circular Civilian Station, that is designed with eight medical bays each capable of docking with even massive warships, around a central administration each containing an advanced medcenter with a 10,000 patient capacity giving total capacity at 80,000 patients.
Unarmed, this station is highly vulnerable and depends on other space vehicles to defend it from attackers. As such, it is defended by the ISN Sidious and the rest of the First Flotilla. Despite not officially being part of the Imperial Scholae Armed Forces, the IMS Tipoca II maintains strong mutually beneficial communications with both the Navy and the Army, and its patients are primarily wounded military personnel.
