Democratic People's Defense Forces (Military) Description

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 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.
