Doctrine & Strategy (Operations)
Because the supply of TL–15 warships is somewhat limited, specialized TL–14 ships with high jump capacity like the (Jump 5) raider groups are used to bypass enemy formations which tend to have less strategic range. The use of drop tanks and wilderness refueling capacities are strongly emphasized to maintain a high tempo of operations to maintain pressure on enemy units and conduct strikes on their own terms. Retreat and withdrawal are valid options if conditions are less favorable. The conservation of resources over time is seen as vital to long term success. Ease of maintenance and repair is a strong design imperative. Designs should be durable and reliable. Logistic support is pushed as close to the FEBA as possible. Every form of electronic warfare and misinformation is given great emphasis as well, as an affordable force multiplier.
The unfortunate reality is there are factions within the larger Solomani organizations which handicap seamless cooperation. Loyalties are sometimes divided and individual fleet elements can be working at cross purposes. Trust between units raised in far flung areas may have ancient grudges or vendettas from internal conflicts. This means that at the largest scale of sector level fleets detailed coordination tends to break down over time, as smaller units begin to pursue their own agendas. The initial mass of force with not stay on mission for long periods without significant diplomatic pressure. Squadrons will aggressively persecute strikes with withering violence, but the "big picture" may begin to elude them. Sieges and blockades are exceptions to this trend, entrenched forces that are appropriately sized, motivated and led will happily stay on station for as long as required to crush their foes. Some squadron commanders are seen as glory hounds for their reckless personal bravery and their deep seated desire to fool, trick, frustrate and elude their opponents. The Solomani commander traits of fierce independence, creativity and innovation precludes predictable Vilani style operations.

TO&E (Organization)
Squadrons are generally build around carrier task forces. Carriers are not permitted into action without at least one battleship for protection. Smaller raider task forces are specialized for deep penetration raids far beyond the enemy frontier. Destroyer flotillas are occasionally dispatched for independent duty, either commerce/convoy escort or raids on lightly defended targets. They like to strike when and where least expected.
