Darrian Navy

Darrian Navy (Military) Synopsis

The Darrian Navy has a rich tradition and a long history. The Spinward Marches have been the site of many conflicts and serve as a crossroads between large empires. As such the Darrians has sought alliances to protect their interests. When diplomacy fails they have assembled a powerful fleet to keep ambitious Sword Worlds Confederation commanders from getting any ideas.

Every shipyard within Darrian territory is encouraged to under take military contracts and produce and contribute warships for the defense of their territory. The task force approach is flexible and allows the forces to be tailored for the threats that present themselves. The Darrian forces do not typically go looking for trouble. Trouble just seems to find them.
