| The Taldryan Navy is one of the three major branches of the [[Taldryan Expansionary Force]]. It is currently divided into three operational Battlegroups, tasked with both defending [[Taldryan]] sovereign territory, and spearheading operations into hostile territory.
| |
| | |
| Commanded by High Admiral [[Tak Vordin]], Taldryan’s Navy is home to three operational commands, consisting of the Fleet, Starfighter Corps and the Marines.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == History ==
| |
| === Taldryan Naval Service ===
| |
| Beginning with the Independent House Ektrosis, and continuing on within the confines the greater Clan, Taldryan earned one of the deadliest armadas within the Dark Brotherhood. Growing from an individual ship, to a Fleet that could rival that of the Pre-Exodus Brotherhood’s, Taldryan’s fleet was the envy of the all the Clans. With it, and the growing size of the other military forces granted to the Clan, it became necessary to create a new organization in order to help with the day to day operations.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Consul Kir Katarn was tasked with the creation of such a force, ensuring that Taldryan’s martial forces would always be ready to answer the call, and help lead the charge into the fray. The Taldryan Security Service was the answer to that, and at the forefront, the most backbone of the Service was the Taldryan Naval Service. Serving Taldryan faithfully for SHADHELPMEWITHTHEDATES years. It weathered the storm of the TwoJacsREFERENCE, and despite taking severe and almost catastrophic losses during the Yuuzhan Vong war, it rose again as one of the premier fleets in the Brotherhood after Sarin’s fleet reset.

| === Taldryan Expansionary Force ===
| |
| Reorganization in 36 ABY. Why/What changed/etc..
| |
| | |
| == Organization ==
| |
| The Taldryan Navy is Headquartered on Karufr, in the naval wing of the Expansionary Force HQ. As one of the branches of the Taldryan Expansionary Force, it falls under the command of the Taldryan Strategic Operations Council. It is represented on the council by the Admiral of the Fleet, TBA.
| |
| === Command Structure ===
| |
| When it comes to Operational command, Taldryan’s Navy is led by High Admiral TBA. Based off the Galactic Empire’s Naval Structure, each ship of the line is commanded by an Officer of at least the rank of Captain, supported by their Executive Officer. Tradition dictates that the Captain of his or her vessel is the highest authority aboard their own ship. Though the ships will often work on separate patrols, the most basic unit of the Taldryan Navy is the Battle Group.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Battle Groups are led by an overall force commander, and on a separate ship the force executive officer. The reason for this is so that in the event of catastrophic loss, and the death of one commander or incapacitation of the Flag vessel, leadership can seamlessly transfer to the secondary command ship.
| |
| | |
| === Battle Group I ===
| |
| Main Article Link
| |
| | |
| Taldryan’s First Battle Group, nicknamed Vanguard, is the premier task force of Taldryan’s Fleet. Vanguard, is as it's nickname suggests, primarily tasked with being the tip of Taldryan's spear in naval engagements. Within it resides Taldryan’s Flagship, the [[CSD Justice]], and is personally commanded by High Admiral [[Tak Vordin]], the Commander of Taldryan's Navy. Acting as the Battle Group’s Executive Officer, and Third Officer of the Navy, is Rear Admiral [[Shalla Arundel]], commander of the [[BAC Dark Prophet II]].
| |
| | |
| === Battle Group II ===
| |
| Main Article Link
| |
| | |
| Taldryan’s Second Battle Group, nicknamed Vigilance, is the secondary flotilla within Taldryan's forces. Generally tasked with missions that involve interdiction, and support, within it you'll find the more versatile ships of Taldryan's Navy. The Battle Group Commander, and Executive Officer of Taldryan's Navy is Admiral [[Raif Slaxton]] who keeps his flag on the [[BSD Relentless]]. The Executive Officer, and Fourth Officer of the Fleet is Commodore [[Kyle Takan]], commander of the [[MJHC Compulsor]].
| |
| | |
| === Taldryan Home Fleet ===
| |
| Main Article Link
| |
| | |
| Taldryan's Home Fleet is tasked with the defense, and security of Taldryan's home systems. Generally, the home fleet can count on the support from either one, or both of the two Battle Groups, and as such is the smallest of the three fleets. The majority of action that the Home Fleet sees is in inspecting and interdicting incoming traffic to the planets in system to defend against threats. In times of war, the Home Fleet is the final bulwark that prevents Taldryan's home from being invaded. The Home Fleet, as it consists of mostly Starfighter Commands, is led by Colonel [[Ark Lassik]], commanding from the Cardan III Class Space Station TBA.
| |
| | |
| == Starfighter Corps ==
| |
| The Taldryan Starfighter Corps is a separate, but embedded entity within the Taldryan Navy. Consisting of its own unique chain of command, it is however always intrinsically linked to the fleet due to their combined purpose, in protecting and dominating the skies. The Starfighter Corps is represented on the Taldryan Strategic Operations Council by Air Marshal TBA.
| |
| === Command Structure ===
| |
| The Starfighter Corps is divided up into smaller units, starting at Flights (2 wing pairs), Squadrons (3 Flights), and Wings. Every Squadron is commanded by a Squadron Leader, and every Wing is Commanded by a CAG (Commander, Air Group). The overall operational Command of the entire Starfighter Corps falls to Wing Commander [[Kayla Norvin]]. However due to the special nature of the Corps, CAGs will generally report to their ship Captain, before the Wing Commander.
| |
| | |
| === Wings ===
| |
| Definitely going to have to describe the various wings we have, but it'll probably just be a single page with each on described on it that can be linked to an anchor on the BG Pages.
| |
| | |
| Every ship with 3+ Squads is going to have its own wing. Wings will generally be 3 squadrons, some exceptions will be made for stuff like the BAC with 4.
| |
| | |
| === Elite Squadron ===
| |
| Link to Main Article
| |
| | |
| In the glory days of House Archanis, Taldryan was awarded with the only customer starfighter in the Dark Brotherhood, the Hyperion Class Starfighter. Though Archanis is no more, this Squadron still defines the standard for the Taldryan Starfighter Corps. Only the most skilled, and dedicated pilots within Taldryan earn a billet with this Fighter Squadron.
| |
| | |
| == Marine Corps ==
| |
| Since the days of ocean bound navies, the Marine has held an important role within armed forces throughout the galaxy. These soldiers are trained primarily in close quarters fighting, the kind that they would face while participating in boarding actions or defending their ships. Though they are nominally an infantry unit, the special link of these marine contingents to their ships means they are stringently, if not stubbornly, navy men.
| |
| === Command Structure ===
| |
| The Marine Corps is divided up into shipboard units. Each ship contains it's own contingent of marines, representative to the size of the vessel that they are tasked with defending. Below you'll see a general guideline for the size of the units per ship class. Each Unit is commanded by the appropriate level officer for their ships, and reports to the ship Captain. The Marine Corps is represented on TalSOC by '''Captain-General''' TBA.

| The Navy is the powerhouse of the Taldryan Expansionary Force and the envy of the rival Clans of the Brotherhood. It is responsible for planetary defense, planetary assault, and general space superiority. The Clans capital ships act as secondary command stations for the Clan Summit when traversing the galaxy. Taldryan's crews are comprised of both Jedi and non-Jedi personnel, all highly trained and impeccably skilled. The service is modeled roughly around the Imperial Navy, although a simplified version. The Navy is commanded by High Admiral [[Tak Vordin]], under the Consul of the Clan Taldryan.
| |
| | |
| == Navy/Clan Interaction ==
| |
| | |
| The Naval Service, like the other Security Services, has grown into its own and has complete jurisdiction over all naval-related areas. The reigning Consul is the sole exception to this rule, as he has the power to replace commanders with Jedi or provide Jedi assistance when the situation calls for force awareness. Fortunately, after many years and campaigns, both the Naval officers and the Taldryan Jedi are adept at combining their roles to ensure that the Clan remains victorious in all ventures.
| |
| | |
| The Naval officer core retains operational command of all naval units, regardless of embedded Jedi. In the past, many summit members had claimed command of individual ships or small battlegroups, which led to disjointed command and inefficient use of both military and Jedi resources. Now the fleet is split into various battlegroups by the Consul, with each group falling under the command of a non-Jedi Admiral with assistance from a Dark Jedi appointed by the Consul. While the Dark Jedi retains official overall command, they generally only exercise this power in extreme circumstances, leaving the non-Jedi naval officers to run day-to-day operations. However, while working among different officers, the Jedi must always adhere to the commands of their summit members above all other orders.
| |
| | |
| == Command Structure ==
| |
| | |
| The command structure of the Navy is divided up among unit commanders who report up the chain of command to the Unified Naval Commands, who themselves report to High Admiral Tak Vordin, the Taldryan Naval Directorate, and Clan Taldryan's Consul. The unit commanders are as follows:

| | System Force || Vice Admiral and staff
| |
| |-
| |
| | Unified Force || High Admiral and staff
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| | |
| These organizational groups and their leaders can be found scattered throughout Taldryan's territory. To more easily supervise and conduct operations in the various areas, the territory controlled by the clan is divided into Unified Naval Commands. These commands are of various sizes – some may consist of the space around a single planet, other may consist of an entire system – determined by the area's security needs. These Unified Naval Commands are headed by a Admiral or Fleet Admiral.
| |
| | |
| The regional commands are coordinated by the Taldryan Naval Directorate. The Directorate is headed by High Admiral [[Tak Vordin]], and generally consists of six to eight Admirals along with their staffs, who plan and coordinate all of Taldryan's operations at the strategic level. These officers receive their training at the [[Taldryan Military Institute]] as all Taldryan Expansionary Force officers do, but they also complete advanced War College courses in strategic planning and operations. High Admiral Venix Soyak supervises and guides the actions of the Naval Directorate, and brings all important operations to the Consul for final approval. The entire command structure can be seen here:

| | |
| == Recruitment and Training ==
| |
| | |
| Taldryan's Naval Service fills it's ranks purely with volunteers. Enlistment centers are scattered throughout the clan's territories, and ever-present recruitment officers roam wherever potential crewmen can be found. Taldryan pays it's naval crewmen quite well, which makes a Navy career highly sought after on most planets. Making it into the Taldryan Military Institute and becoming part of the clan's officer core is the highest goal of many citizens, ensuring lifelong respect and a comfortable lifestyle.
| |
| | |
| Naval training is divided into two basic categories, individual and ship-born. All recruits are initially sent for ten weeks of basic naval training, followed by additional individual training for their specific specialization (Command, Gunnery, etc). After individual training is completed, recruits are sent to one of the Ship Training Centers, where they spend ten weeks learning the essentials of serving aboard a clan warship. This is done through a combination of classes and repetition of drills, until the crew's reactions are automatic. After completing this training, the recruit is officially graduated as a crewman and assigned to a ship. Once in-unit the soldiers training will continue on through constant drills and exercises.
| |
| | |
| == Naval Pilots ==
| |
| | |
| While technically falling within the ranks of the Naval Service, the clan's fighter pilots have an independent chain-of-command, along with separate recruitment, training, and service requirements.
| |
| | |
| Fighter pilots are typically the best of all navy recruits, with the exception of the strategic officer core. Naval graduates of the [[Taldryan Military Institute]] who score in the top 10% of the naval aptitude exam and meet strenuous physical and mental requirements are permitted to enroll in flight school. Those who successfully meet these requirements have an entire year of grueling physical, psychological, and academic training ahead of them - all of which must be flawlessly executed if the recruit wishes to fly in an operational squadron. Upon completion of the training, all pilots are commissioned as full Lieutenants and assigned to an active squadron.
| |
| | |
| Flight operations and assignments fall under the jurisdiction of each ships commanding officer, but the planning and executing of his orders are done by the individual flight staffs. Each ship or installation which houses clan starfighters has a flight staff, commanded by a "CAG" (Commander, Air Group) who is typically a Commander. Aboard the larger fleet vessels which contain many various squadrons, an officer known as the "CSG" (Commander, Strike Group), typically a Captain, is responsible for coordination of all squadrons for mission success. Overall, all starfighters are coordinated centrally by the Fighter Group Admiral, who is part of the Taldryan Naval Directorate.
| |
| | |
| Several elite squadrons are scattered throughout the Clans territory, including the 33rd Fighter Group and Keirdagh Squadron. These units both operate more advanced fighters and are not attached to any specific ship, but are given assignments directly by the Fighter Group Admiral.
| |
| | |
| == Naval Marines ==
| |
| | |
| The Naval Service often has need for personnel more closely resembling Army soldiers than Naval crewman. To fill this need, the Naval Service developed the Marines, whose troops are based on all Naval vessels to serve as guards and soldiers. Marines undergo basic naval training, then are sent to one of the Collective Combat Training Centers run by the Army to learn infantry and small unit tactics. Upon their return they are given an additional eight weeks of training in shipborne combat and boarding actions. Several elite units undergo Army Special Forces training and are used by individual commanders for unique situations. Generally Marines see themselves as more elite than normal Army units, which creates a near-hostile atmosphere in cantinas across Taldryan territory.
