Description (Specifications)

High Command

This is a rarefied portion of the Line branch (see below) the component of the Imperial Navy that runs the most senior political offices of the Imperial Navy including the Admiralty and Named and Numbered Fleets[1]. While not technically a separate branch, it operates in a bubble of power not attainable by the majority of the Fleet. Entry to High Command is harder than entering into any actual branch.

This is the branch of the Navy that designs Naval starships[2]. Also known as Technical Services Branch[3].

Naval Intelligence

See Imperial Naval Intelligence[4].

Flight

The Flight Branch is responsible for the provision of bridge crew for starships[5]

Pilot

The Pilot Branch is responsible for the provision of bridge crew for small-craft, such as shuttles and fighters[6]. Imperial Marines Flight Officers (i.e. those Imperial Marines officers who have attended Flight School) may get seconded to Marine Flight Wings under Imperial Navy Pilot Branch management[7]

Gunnery

This branch provides those experts in the weaponry, offensive and defensive, used by the Navy[8].

Engineering

This branch provides the engineers for starships and smaller craft, bases, stations and those other facilities operated by the Imperial Navy[9].

Support

This branch provides Drill Sergeants, Instructors, Doctors, Cyberneticists, Administrators and Accountants. In short, those personnel without whom the navy would grind to a halt[10].

The Medical Branch staff operate as their own branch-within-a-branch[11].

The Support Branch operates the Imperial Navy's educational establishments including: -

The Support Branch includes the Naval Judge Advocate General's office.

Line

also known as 'Crew' and 'Command'[12][13]. This branch provides the majority of the general crew of a Naval starship and the entire command structure of the Imperial Navy.
