Naval Doctrine

Mission: To provide support for our customers, no matter what that mission is.

Their customers in space largely need two types of support, the first is area security, making sure the people behave around space stations. The second is theft prevention. In areas where they have only a handful of these contracts this is best done with personal security, where SC ships will fly in formation with their client to provide deterrent. Once you have enough in an area you'll upgrade to one or two capital class ships in the area to respond to threats, but drones for close in support, then at very high levels like around Cassius you build a space station where you can dispatch Corvettes and Frigates to respond to calls and have drones patrolling with the occasional drone carrier rolling through.

Because of your environment you'll also need anti-capital class ships as corporate acquisitions can get a bit hairy, and organized theft rings do pop up from time to time. When an area reaches Scale 2 you'll want to have at least one such ship in the area, but can put more if the area is high risk. The ability to deal with a number of targets at once is preferable and so is minimizing the risk of life to your employees. This means your anti-capital ship will likely be missiles and plasma flinging drones deployed from Carriers.

Scale 1: Only Escort services are offered, there is no larger presence. Escorting services will need to be arranged ahead of time.

Scale 2: Fleet presence means there will be a Carrier and a Missile boat in the area to respond to large threats provide on demand Escort services.

Scale 3: Security Station in the area means that everything you'd expect from scale 2 with higher capacity and legal services.

Special Services

These are services that are provided to top end clients and can be just about anything for the right price. Their most lucrative Special Client was/is Biona Corporation which has expressed concern that the Republic may conduct a false flag operation and use this as justification to remove their charter. Biona Corporation has made it clear this would be a breach of contract between them and the Republic and they plan on securing their independence should such an event take place. (This is called foreshadowing but I am the author)

To hedge against this in space Biona corporation is seeking the most cost effective way to eliminate the biggest threat the Republic has, the Berden. To assist the client in this matter Secura Corp has built a Missile Boat Station in the Biona system. This station exist to ensure that their Missile boats could fire 10 missiles for each Republic Naval ship in existence if they all showed up at once over Biona. This station is also home to their local HAPS depot, an infantry unit equivalent that is an on-demand platform for it's high capacity clients.

To fill demand they would need:

Drone Carrier (destroyer)

Assault Carrier (for long range escort missions)(Frigate)

Missile Boat (Corvette)

HAPS Carrier (Frigate)
