<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Dwuervan Hold includes approximately 640 systems with thousands of 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 Hold.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Dwuervan Hold has two branches of military the Navy and the War Miners. 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 Hold Navy follows a strange doctrine of not using any ships lighter than battle cruisers in their fleet.

<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 HNF

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Uniforms of the HNF consist of a mono-film duty suit; the mono-film duty suit’s coloring is dark brown and light brown 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 brown that runs around the top edge of the toes and approximately halfway back on the sides and then the panel becomes darker brown.

<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 Brown 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 Brown color with a rectangular panel of light Brown 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 Brown 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.

<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 HNF 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 Brown 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.

<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 Brown body and light Brown 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 HNF 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="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-background-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Strategic Military Assets

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The HNF has a number of strategic assets and operates four military shipyards, the first of these yards is the Hold Maritania Yards in the Dwuervo System; then the Dyno Union Yards in the Dyno System, Berelmite Shipyards in the Berel System, Sankara Shipyards in the Sank System, all of these up until approximately 5025 C.E. were dispersed yards taking up large amounts of space but then were moved to the interior of Aries-Class stations to better protect the assets.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">These yards act as building ways, repair yards, depots, mothball centers, and even civilian ships are repaired in these yards.

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

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The following equipment is what can still be found in service with the Hold Naval Forces –
