Atreus Aerospace Command

The Atreus Aerospace Command (AASC) is the Black-water maritime service branch of the Confederacy of Atreus, and the Pan-Veiidic Commonwealth. It is one of the Kerbol System's most powerful navies, with X tons of displacement as of 2200.

History

Belkan/Atreian Civil War

The AASC traces it's roots to the ending years of the Belkan (also known as the "Atreian") Civil War. As victory was all but assured for the Northern Royal Houses, the alliance (mostly Atreus) began looking to the future in securing its endeavors in the final frontier.

Taking many of the remaining resources from the previous Belkan Space Command, the Atreus Aerospace Command was officially established on November 19th, 2190 with its main objective being securing the future for Atreian interplanetary colonies as well as protecting colony ships.

Late 2190's/Early 2200's

However, in the modern age, the AASC's role has evolved into a interplanetary expeditionary force retaining the role of defending colonies. However, the AASC also acts as a quick response force to potential threats, anti-piracy, and conducting "amphibious" operations.

Organization

The AASC was originally under the command of the Department of the Air Force of Atreus. However, as the AASC grew, the Department of Aerospace was established in 2194 with the AASC ordering and producing their own Capital ships.

Fleet Operations

The AASC is organized similarly to pre-existing navies, but much lower crew compliments on ships, and higher "shore-based" rates and crew. The majority of the combat vessels of the AASC are based on operating inside Battlegroups, Task Forces, or Task Units subordinate to a primary Fleet commanded by a large Capital ship with ample Command-and-Control facilities.

Battlegroups (note: change the description)

Battlegroups make up the largest semi-permanent formation of the AASC, typically centered around a Trinity-Class Heavy Carrier, Hartfordia II-Class Heavy Cruiser, or a Swordsman-Class Battleship. Typically, AASC Battlegroups are designed to combat equivalent small fleets and Capital ship formations.

Battlegroups are typically named instead of numbers, named by their commanding officers or superior officers as they are typically created and dissolved at the start and end of combat operations.

Despite this, "Battlegroup" can also be a term granted to a formation of multiple ships between different formations such as fleets or Task Forces, but also multiple Task Forces if need be.

Task Forces

Task Forces are the second largest permanent formations of the AASC. However, unlike Battlegroups, Task Forces are almost always at least semi-permanent formations within fleets, but more often than not permanent formations within a fleet made up of multiple Battlegroups or Task Units within them.

Task Forces are numbered instead of named with a 2-digit code. The first digit of the code represents the fleet the Task Force belongs to, while the second is sequentially numbered based on the amount of Task Forces within a given fleet (EX: TF X1, TF X2, etc.)
