The Darrian Navy is the interstellar force projection arm of the Darrian Confederation.
- It is an interstellar navy and fleet organization.
Description (Specifications)[edit]
The fleet faces struggles to maintain cohesion with ships built across a variety of technology levels at a variety of shipyards. Admirals must adapt and use what they have available to the best effect. Their tactics tend to be conservative and not overly aggressive. Security is seen as more important than glory.
Mission (Goals)[edit]

Doctrine & Strategy (Operations)[edit]
The stellar trigger and relic fleets have been used for a long time as a deterrent to foreign aggression. The Darrians rely on secrets from their past to intimidate foes and force them to second guess what the Darrians might do if pushed too far.
Note that the Darrian Navy operates a small integral Marine Force for use as Ship's Troops, but that the Darrian Guard provide the main ground assault force for the Confederacy.
