The Ministry of War Handbook
Here is the link to the Ministry of War Handbook, which has the current roster, Fleet and Squad information, Officers Academy Information, and more.

Background
The Fireborn Navy ensures that Fireborn Sovereignty space remains secure at all times, as well as operates to further the agenda of the FS-COM through space combat and strikes. The Fireborn Sovereignty Navy is tasked with ensuring naval superiority, patrolling occupied space, reconnaissance missions, supporting ground assets, and ensuring the safety of the capital world of Amgarrak from orbit.

The Navy, like all parts of the military and indeed the Fireborn, took heavy losses when the Eternal Empire attacked - former fleet strength was, at its peak, 78 Harrower Class Dreadnoughts, 157 Terminus Class Destroyers, and an unspecified number of support ships and transports.

The Fireborn Navy uses strategic doctrine straight from the old Imperial Military. The utilization of dreadnoughts in a multi-use capacity way is key to Fireborn strategy. They are supported by the Terminus-class Destroyers as strike cruisers and escorts maneuvering among enemy formations striking weakened targets.

The current strength of the Fireborn Navy stands at 3 fleet divisions, or 27 ships-of-the-line. This number includes fourteen Harrower-Class dreadnoughts, thirteen Terminus-Class destroyers, 33 Gage-Class transports, and an unspecified amount of support craft.

Naval Hierarchy
The Navy is commanded by the Grand Admiral, who is part of the FS-COM. The Grand Admiral provides aid to the Lord General, while ensuring that his or her navy of ships is maintained in top condition.

The Fleet
The Fireborn Sovereignty Navy is made up of several fleets which consist of multiple Harrower-Class and Terminus-Class cruisers. Each ship is commanded by either a ranking officer within the Military (i.e. Admiral, Vice Adm., or Capt.).

To command a Harrower-Class ship, one must have gone Through the Officers Academy and have exceeded the rank of Captain.

To command a Terminus-Class ship, one must also have gone through the Officers Academy and have exceeded the rank of Lieutenant.

The Fireborn Army
The Fireborn Army is the backbone of the military, standing their ground and defending Fireborn soil from would-be attackers. Standard Ground forces operate in a way similar to the Republic Military, depending on small, organized strikes teams supplemented by larger forces. Regulation Squadrons consist of one commanding officer who is in most cases a force-user, and five non-force sensitive operatives. This was extremely effective in the conquest of Quesh, though it tends to backfire if the battle falls into a stalemate.

Armor is overly-valued in these armies, although it is readily available. Instead, the Army relies upon close air support from fighter bombers and re-purposed Harrower-Class invasion carriers like the HMS Thunder of Korriban. Furthermore, the Fireborn Sovereignty army supplements the Navy by providing aid to naval operations and supplying manpower.

The current strength of the Fireborn Army stands at four divisions, or 100,000 soldiers.

Army Hierarchy
The Army is commanded by the Lord General, who is part of the FS-COM. The Lord General is often the second-in-command of the Ministry of War and Expansion, though this is not always the case.

FSM Army Special Units
Special Units within the Fireborn Sovereignty Military consist of 5 members. Each squad contains one squad-leader who may or may not be force-sensitive, and five non-force sensitive squad members(NPC or Player). Name and color code for each squadron is determined by the current squad-leader.

To command a FSM Special Unit squad, one must have gone through officers academy and have exceeded the rank of Captain.


 * The composition and roster for the Fireborn Sovereignty Army, and the Special Units can be found here.

Becoming an Army Officer (Squad Leader)
To become a leader of a squad, one must have achieved the rank of Sergeant, and have also gone through special training. Once they complete the training, they are promoted to Lieutenant, and given command of a Squad. To become Leader of a Special Unit, you must be chosen by the Minister, or his/her Deputy, and have achieved the rank of Captain or above. The information on the training can be found here.

Becoming a Naval Officer
If someone chooses to join the Fireborn Navy, they must go through special training to become a commander of a ship. While they are training, they will temporarily become the Executive officers of Terminus-class Ships under the command of the ship's Commander. Information on this training can be found here.

Proper Military Member Progression and Member Note Syntax
Every character must have either a '(S),' or '(C),' at the beginning of their member note. '(S),' indicates Force-sensitivity, whilst '(C),' is indicative of a non-Force sensitive character. In special cases, '(M),' can be used to indicate Mandalorian heritage.
