The Ades Federation Navy

Post by -TK- »

I was reading the DVD booklets and I came out with this... :mrgreen:

The Ades Federation Navy is composed of three parts:
- the Federal Fleets;
- The Provincial Fleets;
- The Fleets of the Ades Aristocracy.

The Federal Fleets constitute the main section of the armed forces. Despite popular belief, actually there are 6 Federal Fleets:
- The Premier's Fleet (440 warships) - Commander: Premier Luscinia Hafez;
- The First Fleet (332 warships) - Commander: Admiral Sadri Milzal AlBarr Sadiq;
- The Second Fleet (322 warships) - Commander: General Mehrzad Kayvan Khorasani;
- The Third Fleet (320 warships) - Commander: Lieutenant General Moradazad Orang Kermani Hadid;
- The Fourth Fleet (286 warships) - Commander: Lieutenant General Sorush Rakhshanian Shahab;
- The Fifth Fleet (288 warships) - Commander: Lieutenant General Vasant Chaozad.

The Provincial Fleets belong to the four main provinces under Ades rule. They use old-type battleships dismissed by the Federal fleets. I assume their composition from what is shown and said in the anime:
- The Patos Fleet (48 warships) - Commander: unknown
- The Rhaetus Fleet (48 warships) - Commander: unknown
- The Ta-Opistan Fleet (48 warships) - Commander: unknown
- The Chaos Fleet (48 warships) - Commander: unknown
Eventually these fleets were obliterated during the attack against Glacies.

The fleets of the Ades Aristocracy are personal fleets (but sometimes it is only a single warship) belonging to noble families. The Federation tried to co-opt the nobility of the conquered countries to the Federation's cause, granting them some autonomy in the defense of their lands. However these fleets were disbanded and transferred under federal command as a consequence of the purges ordered by Luscinia.
Their numbers and composition are unknown (but everything is stored in Giselle's brain!).

Looking at its structure, a fleet is organised into Squadrons.
Each Squadron is then divided into Squads: it is usually 4 Squads for each Squadron.
Each Squad is composed of 4, 5 or 6 warships.

Every Squad has its own ID number to reflect the the above structure. For Example, Squad 423 means 4th Fleet, 2nd Squadron, 3rd Squad.

Typically the Squadrons of a Fleet can be divided into two main groups:
- In-line Squadrons, which take part in the military campaigns;
- Reserve Squadrons, stationed behind the front line and used to replace the losses after battles.

The In-Line Squadrons are then divided into:
- First-line Squadrons;
- Second-line (support) Squadrons;
- Supply Squadrons (they include hospital ships, supply ships, repair ships, etc.).


Using the booklets, this is the composition of the 6 Federal fleets:

Oh wow this is great info. It always astounds me how much thought they put into details like that, even when they're not the more prominent ones.

Also, the poor Provincial Fleets. (and to think that Giselle can probably list this all off the top of her head :P)

I have also created a comparison chart for the warship models appeared so far in the anime.
It's shows the actual dimensions of the ships (for those unfamiliar with the metric system, 1m is approx. 3ft).
