The The Democratic People's Defense Forces is the military of the Winston Democracy.
Description (Specifications)
This collection of worlds stretches across several sectors. The Neworld Sector, Hadji Sector, and subsector P of the Aldebaran Sector.
There are no class A shipyards, and no native starship construction.
The fleet is headquartered on Stormbringer (Hadji 0401 B8A4310-A), at the only Naval Base in the Winston Democracy. There is a single ScoutRon located at Raver (Aldebaran 3039 D738555-8). The Winston Democracy is held together using surplus Solomani colonial-era starships that were used to bring colonists here.
The primitive merchant marine fleet uses reliable designs that can operate for years with limited maintenance their ports are capable of providing at the tech levels of their worlds. The Solomani Navy (SolNav) has sold a few ships to them in an attempt to sway them to rejoining their sphere of influence.
One system defense feature of note are the Guns of Lyon (Aldebaran 3139 C7A0501-B). Buried in icy moons throughout this system are some crude TL–11 meson gun deep sites. They are supplemented by several orbital missile platforms. These systems represent the most advanced system defense in the Winston Democracy.
Doctrine & Strategy
The local admiralty must weigh each potential engagement within the larger context of force preservation. The limited resources available dictate that no assets should be squandered unless absolutely necessary. When the right opportunity presents itself and the enemy has made a mistake then strike with all available forces to quickly eliminate the threat, to avoid a protracted struggle.
History & Background (Dossier)
The bloodiest battles have been local. During the struggles to consolidate their territory, bringing planets into the organization has led to some brutal conflicts unnoticed by the larger galaxy. In these struggles the lower tech ships, most easily replaced with local resources are sacrificed in appalling numbers and the more advanced designs are held in reserve.
