<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Sharkallan Pod includes approximately 20 systems with several hundred planets.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The following is a list of the Star Systems that belong to the Republic. <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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Sharkallan Pod has two branches of military the Navy and the Army. The following section will describe both these branches.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Royal Kingdom Navy follows the same basic pattern as that of the Theban Cluster save that they use only a single Titan and the rest are battle cruisers only.

<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";">Uniforms & Insignia of the SN

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Uniforms of the SN consist of a mono-film duty suit [specially modified for the Aquarians to keep them moisturized].

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The mono-film duty suit’s coloring is dark ? and light ? with gold piping and the reinforced soles and heels are a dark gray color.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><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 ? that runs around the top edge of the toes and approximately halfway back on the sides and then the panel becomes the darker ?.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Starting at mid-thigh on the outsides, a lighter ? 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 ? color with a rectangular panel of light ? 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 ? 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.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><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.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><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.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><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 ? 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].

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><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.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><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.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><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 ? body and light ? 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. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><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. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">It should be noted that when off-duty SN 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]. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The SN has a number of strategic assets and operates a single military shipyard located in the Roona system.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Sharkallan 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]. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Over its long history, the Sharkallan 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].
