Trooles Confederation Navy

The Trooles Confederation Navy is the space navy of the Trooles Confederation.

• It operates within the coreward part of Theta Borealis Sector.
• A dedicated force operates within the rimward part of Astron Sector.

Description (Specifications)

The Trooles Confederation Navy defends the territory of the Trooles Confederation.

• Its starships are battle-scarred and grubby but tough and reliable.
• Its crews are grizzled, hard-bitten veterans with long experience of fighting the remorseless Jaibok.

The navy flies the flag of the state, aids in disaster relief, and keeps the peace.

• Its name is commonly abbreviated to 'TCN'.
• TCN ships are typically TL–11.
• The TCN is actively fighting the Imperial Korsumug Navy.

The majority of its personnel are human.

Oujdan Influence

The industrial world of Oujda, lying some 8 parsecs trailing of the Confederation, is vital to the existence of the Navy.

• The majority of Confederation vessels are constructed at Oujda, though a percentage are manufactured locally.
• Local port facilities are able to maintain and repair the craft.
• A stream of new Oujdan-built vessels is constantly available to replace losses.

Large bounties are offered by the government of Oujda for every Korsumug vessel confirmed destroyed.

• Bounties are paid to ship captains.
• The captain divides the proceeds amongst the crew.
• Would-be Jaibok-hunters flock to serve with a successful captain.
• The Confederation Navy accepts non-Troolean citizens into its ranks.
