Editing Strike Legion (section)

==== Fleet ====
Yes, that's seriously what the Republic calls its military. The overall design is pretty clearly modeled after [[Star Trek| Starfleet]], not exactly a good thing since it means they don't have a separate ground army like the Imperium does, even if they do have actual soldiers beyond their ships' security teams. The Fleet personnel are much better trained and equipped than their counterparts in the Imperium, though they aren't as powerful as some of the Imperium's elite troops, though for that Fleet has its allies. Their ships are better armed than their Imperial counterparts but carry far fewer frames, probably due to the space in their interior devoted to carrying missiles. Their frames are, however, vastly superior to their mass-produced counterparts in the Imperium. They also have options they can stick on their frames to serve various purposes, though these do usually slow them down so they can be ejected after being used, and are recovered after a battle.

Also, members of the fleet pursue academic careers of their choice in addition to their military pursuits, making Fleet apparently the only military organization that gives PHDs and military decorations.
