Editing Imperial Korsumug Navy

[[File:Mavuzog Claws Symbol.png|200 px|right]]
The [[Imperial Korsumug Navy]] is the space navy of the [[Korsumug Empire]].
* It operates throughout [[Theta Borealis Sector|Theta Borealis]] and [[Mavuzog Sector]]s.
* A few rogue vessels operate within the [[rimward]] part of [[Astron Sector]].
* It answers directly to the [[Korsumug Empire|Korsumug Emperor]].

== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
The Imperial Korsumug Navy defends the territory of the [[Korsumug Empire]].
* Its name is commonly abbreviated to 'IKN'.
* IKN ships are typically between {{TL|11}} and {{TL|13}}, though some are less advanced.

The majority of its personnel are [[Jaibok]].
* [[Jansa]] form a significant percentage of its officer corps.

=== The Admiralty ===
The Admiralty is the high command of the IKN.
* The Admiralty answers directly to the Emperor.
* Most of the staff officers are [[Jansa]].

=== Fleets ===
The IKN is divided into named fleets, each led by a charismatic Admiral.
* Four of the many named fleets of the Empire, serving on its turbulent borders.

* [[Immortal Legion Fleet]].
* [[Glorious Triumph Fleet]].
* [[Percavid Marches|Marches Occupation Fleet]].
* [[Jend (world)|Kindred of Claws Flotilla]].

=== Starships and Spacecraft ===
The IKN fields a large variety of vessels.
* All classes of ships are designed by the [[Jansa]].

==== Jansa Capital Ships ====
The IKN operate three major types of capital ship, the ''Vermin'' class Heavy Destroyer, the ''Malign'' class Cruiser, and the ''Scourge'' class Battleship. There are limited numbers of these vessels available and they are dispatched to fleets sparingly, under strict instructions that they are not to be frittered away conducting petty raids. All three types are fearsome vessels by the standards of the region, significantly more advanced than similar vessels of neighbouring states and carrying state of the art weapons and defenses.
* Capital ships have [[Jansa]] crews.
* The mere presence of these vessels can dramatically swing the local balance of power.

==== Jansa Spyships ====
The [[Jansa]] operate small stealthy spyships. These act as couriers, as sensor outposts, as communications relays, and as command vessels.
* Spyships rarely have [[Jaibok]] crew.
* They always avoid confrontation and will flee if possible.
* Spyships contain a self-destruct device.

==== Jaibok Heavy Gunships ====
Most heavy gunships are constructed around a single primary weapon system, typically denoted as a [[Bay|bay weapon]] but generally forming the core of the vessel.
* Heavy gunships are hard-hitting but often lack defenses.
* They usually operate as part of a mixed group of craft.

Gunboats are fast, agile craft armed with a variety of weapons systems and defenses.
* They usually operate as part of a mixed group of craft.

==== Jaibok Carriers ====
Carriers transport fighters and assault shuttles. [[Jansa]]-designed carriers are relatively slow.
* They avoid direct confrontation if possible.
* They have strong defenses and countermeasures.
* They are always accompanied by escort vessels.

==== Jaibok Fighters ====

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
No information yet available.

=== Goals (Mission) ===
The fleet is the primary arm of military expansion, territory acquisition and raiding.  Offensive operations are the preferred methods and defensive operations are often perceived as lacking in the bold initiative and aggression which [[Jaibok]] planners exemplify.  A natural elan and determination guide rapid advances.  Military planners tend to push the limits, and can not be seen as conservative.  Risk big and win big is the heroic mantra.  Some calmer and cooler heads prevail within the larger naval bureaucracy.  As long as glorious operations are available for young commanders to test their mettle, the senior officers seldom complain.  Tailoring these missions and directing them appropriately takes great skill and subtle hands within the structure of the operational arts.  Skills often overlooked by Jaibok warriors.  Maintaining supply lines, and replacing loses can be critical to adjusting the flow of resources to the front and how and when those resources are expended.  Once fully fueled and equipped little can hold squadron commanders at bay.  Knowing when and where to strike is typically the most critical decision.  Equipment tends to be rugged and dependable with a stark utilitarian design ascetic.

The fleet of the [[Korsumug Empire]] generally operates in small mixed groups, either patrolling or raiding. Typically 1D6+1 vessels will be encountered, with the [[Ton|tonnages]] of the ships ranging from 200 Tons to as much as 1,800 tons.
* Most vessels are built at {{TL|12}}, but older designs, some as low as {{TL|10}}, may occasionally be encountered.
* The [[Jansa]] have created a number of advanced {{TL|13}} capital ships. These are rarely seen and are always escorted.
