HME Military
HME names many systems and planets around historical or current events, features and landmarks etc. For example, a planet resembling mars in many ways other than having an atmosphere akin to earths was terraformed and is now the centre for training all members of the Armed forces, the north-east section (on a flat map) is devoted to training officers of all forces while the other 3 quadrants are devoted to training other members of the armed forces across the planet – this planet is known as the RMAS (Royal Military Academy Sandhurst).
Size: HME spans 11 system's in the Orion belt placing it last in number of systems, it is however in first for the number of colonised planets as each and every colonisable planet in these systems has been colonised – giving a total of 81 colonised planets )of which 5 are devoted to military training, 6 for ship building, another 3 for equipment building and a final 15 for resources).
Navy
Carrier: The Queen Elizabeth II class of carrier is based around transporting men, equipment , resources and ships to the battlefield – each carrier can transport 4! destroyers at a time and serves as a dry dock for repairs and re-armament. Each fleet has 1 of these at it's heart. The Royal Navy's flagship is the HMS Queen Elizabeth II
Dreadnaught: The Prince of Wales class dreadnaught is only slightly smaller than the Carrier and two are assigned per carrierthough it is meant solely for war where tha carrier can be used for humanitarian needs. The dreadnaught has the brand new Mark II Rail Gun system that fires a beam of electrolised particles with an all but unlimited range. The result is devastating damage to whatever the beam hits and any particles that stray from the beam upon impact can electrolise metals they come into contact with – the central beam is positively charge and the outer is negatively charged therefore if both stray from the beam and charge the port side negative and starboard positive then the ship will simply crumple if shields are down. It posseses the smaller turret mounted Mark I rail guns for point defense and broadside's along with the Trident Nuclear warheads in missile bays. Each dreadnaught possesses 1 single spine mounted mark II, 10 Mark I's per side and 12 missile bays with a payload of 36 missiles.
Destroyer: There are 12 destroyers per carrier and the destroyers are split into two Categories: Offense and Defense with 6 of each per carrier.
Offense: The type 45 offensive ships are essentially scaled down destroyers with all the same weaponry though smaller profile but only possessing 8 missile bays and 6 mark I's per side. Overall they are very nimble and used for distracting the enemy or flanking them.
Defense: The Type 46 defensive ships posses a highly scaled up Mark I spinal mount which although isn't powerful can still pack a punch, they are primarily outfitted with point defense turrets and so are used as a shield for the fleet though they also have 6 missile bays which can be launched and then the ship can lure enemies into superior firepower of the rest of the fleet.
Frigate:The Type 23 frigates, although deemed expandable by other Superpowers, are infact very important to the Royal Navy. They are used as bombers for the fleet and have limited stealth technology which although would fool no captain in a quiet border patrol they are almost invisible in battle allowing them to sneak in and bring down destroyers and even dreadnaughts. They are outfitted with a smaller Mark II than the Destroyers though it packs a punch – not rivalling the Mark I on defensive destroyers but fairly close – The can tear apart entire fighter wings with a single shot and turn the tide of any battle.
Fighter: The Typhoon fighters are not used as they conventionally would be as hit and run's but are tasked as point defense QRF (quick reaction force) for any fighters or bombers approaching the Main fleet and the frigates.
Seeker: The sandown class seeker has the most advanced piece of stealth technology and serve the role MI5/MI6 once would have in conventional warfare. They also pack the Trident warheads and 4 Typhoon fighters making them vicious to any and all unsusptecting targets. They operate individually.
Each Fleet has a contingent of Royal Marines attached and there is usually a Battalion (what is currently a regiment in 2014) sized force present across the fleet which is used as ship defense, ship to ship boarding and even ground or space station invasion.
The army and Air force are both based in atmosphere on colonies and are there to repel invasions, although each Airmen will have the chance at least once on his career to serve attached to a ship in the navy, and are trained to the upmost standards in excellence and agression.
