Aquarian Reef

 The Aquarian Reef was first founded in 2735 C.E. when the great Reef treaty was signed by the ten great reefs that controlled the major ocean ways on their home world of Aquestos. The treaty was created by the Reef Nations to protect the already damaged and polluted waterways of their planet. After the treaty was completed and the nations started rolling, back on industrial building and developed cleaners that were capable of scrubbing the pollutants from the planets waterways. The Aquarian Reef joined the Watchdog Alliance in 4789. The Reef started colonization efforts in 4,800. Aquarian Reef Timeline Forthcoming.

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">*The Gallows Nebula isn’t really considered a system but is on the outer fringes of the Aquarian controlled area and only holds the Gallow’s Cloud Yard which has a small population of military and civilian support personnel. <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-shading: white; mso-pattern: solid black;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Military & Branches <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Aquarian Republic has two branches of military the Navy and the Myrmidons.

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Uniforms of the RNF consist of a mono-film duty suit [specially modified for the Aquarians to keep them moisturized]. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The mono-film duty suit’s coloring is dark blue and light blue with gold piping and the reinforced soles and heels are a dark gray color. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The reinforcing for the built in sole covers the toes and the back of the heel, and there is a panel of light blue that runs around the top edge of the toes and approximately halfway back on the sides and then the panel becomes the darker blue. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Starting at mid-thigh on the outsides, a lighter blue paneling starts that runs all the way up the sides of the duty suit and covers the arms in the same color. The rest of the duty suit is of the darker blue color with a rectangular panel of light blue also runs from the collar [which itself is reinforced and of a dark gray color similar to that of the shoe soles] to just above the waist. All the lighter blue panels have the gold piping around the edges the wrists about halfway up the forearm are also dark gray as are the suits integral gloves. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The second part of the uniform for men is a tunic with matching color scheme of the duty suit that magnetically seals at the waist to the duty suit, for women a single piece dress like uniform is worn over the duty suit, the shoulders of both the men and women’s uniform have pointed reinforced shoulders. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Both male and female members of the RNF wear a hip length jacket that has a pyramidal cut at the lower portion of the jacket all the way to the waist and at the chest/breast area is a diamond shaped section cut out of the jacket. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The jacket has extremely pointed thick padded shoulders that cause them to stand up to the sides and the sleeves are of the lighter blue color with dark gray at the wrists and forearms and piped in gold with a high open collar that comes to just below the chin [this jacket is only worn during non-combat and duty related things]. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Rank insignia is present on the forward part of the shoulders and at the cuffs of the uniform; division and branch patches are worn on the right shoulder while the star nation flag is worn on the left shoulder below the padded shoulders. On either side of the collar are additional rank pins that are actually personal IFF transponders. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The duty suit is made of mono-film and has Damage Deflection 1 while the uniform and uniform jacket are made of a mixture of silk and liquid Nanno-carbons that stiffen on impact. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Dress uniforms pretty much consist of the same thing save that, the jacket is longer and more ornate than the standard one and a standard uniform cap like a captain’s one with a dark blue body and light blue brim with gold piping. The heels of the duty suit are much higher with an almost cowboy style heel on the men’s and a stiletto style heel on the women’s.

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Even though in later years the Watch Dog Alliance Nations became more and more integrated militarily the members of those nations still retained their differing rank insignia and were referred to by their normal ranks.

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">It should be noted that when off-duty RNF personnel can either wear the full uniform [including jacket] or a metallic version of their mono-film duty suit [most opt for the duty suit as it is more comfortable].

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The RNF has a number of strategic assets and operates a single military shipyard and two repair yards/depots, the first of these yards is the Great Reef Shipyards in the Aquaria system orbiting the fourth planet. The other two yards are repair, refit, and maintenance yards which are also used as depots and mothball centers for retired craft and are quite often used to repair civilian vessels as well to defray the costs of operating the two yards; these yards are the Blue Coral yards in the Blue Sea System and the Gallow’s Cloud Yards in the Gallow’s Nebula. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Reef Navy does not operate a Aries-Class space station but does have access to the facilities of the Watch Dog Alliances headquarters station WDSS Kodiak in the Ursanite home sytem [which is supported by all WDA member nations].

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Over its long history, the Reef Navy has used hundreds of different weapons and armor some of which are still in service [albeit either as training aids or stowed away in some soldier’s locker]. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The following equipment is what can still be found in service with the Aquarian Reef Naval Forces –

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Reef Navy operates a single fleet headed by a monitor the ANS Deep Pride and includes several thousand vessels, 3,256 vessels to be exact.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Reef Myrmidon Force are the only planet and ship based multi-purpose troops used by the Republic and are heavily based off of the Theban Cluster Fleet Marine Corps.
