Nautical Force Command (NFC) is the Imperial Army's planetary sea forces arm. It is the smallest branch, because it only has any real function on worlds with (water) hydrographics, and even on those worlds, it only sees action when the region concerned is on, under or near water.

Organizations

Imperial Naval Infantry

This is the term the Imperial Army uses for ship's troops in the "wet" Navy. They are used as military police, security, boarding parties, and amphibious troops. The term "Naval Infantry" is used to make sure they are not confused with the Imperial Marines, which is a spacefaring organization. Unlike the Imperial Marines, they have Navy ranks rather than Marine Ranks.

Sea Squadron (SEARON)

The Sea Squadron is the basic building block of Nautical Forces.
