Fiction:True Yaman Empire/Military

The True Yaman Empire has three independent military fleets and armies. The fleets are the Offensive Affairs Fleet, for invading other empires; the Defensive Affairs Fleet, for defending their planets; and the Royal Guard Fleet, to protect the Emperor and the Royal Family (as well as other VIPs in the government). The three armies are the Offensive Affairs Army, the Defensive Affairs Army, and the Royal Guard Army. They work in the same manner as their fleet counterparts. By specializing the military like this, each independent military branch can focus on being good at just their job. The Defensive Fleet will never invade another system, the Offensive Affairs Army will never defend a planet. By being specialized for Offense or Defense, the different branches can become better at their assigned task then an all purpose army/fleet could ever be.

Offensive Affairs Fleet
The Offensive Affairs Fleet (OAF) is specialized for offensive activity. Their ships are built with speed, agility, and accuracy in mind. They generally have a larger profile, and are almost always symmetrical. They are factory produced to be exactly the same, as it is not known what conditions or enemies they will have to face.

Ships

 * OAF GodsWord – The Capitol Ship of the OAA, the OAA GodsWord is well known for it’s capacity to disable entire planets using a very powerful Static Pulse. A planet his with the Static Pulse of the GodsWord will be crippled for more then enough time for the powerful vessel to force the surrender of it’s inhabitants.

Commanding Officers

 * Jiirui (Ji-Rue-i) – The Captain of the GodsWord, Jiirui is a friendly and honorable individual, with much respect for her enemies. She is often found talking to the rival generals and commanders after the war is over, regardless of the outcome, comparing notes and memories. Some say that makes her weak, but they are few, as she has a 21:1 win:lose ratio. Her most well known aspect is that she never makes the same mistake twice.

Defensive Affairs Fleet
The Defensive Affairs Fleet (DAF) is specialized for defensive activity. Their ships are built to fit the needs to the planet they will defend. If the planet is large and filled with jungles and rain, the ships are built to weave through trees and are semi-amphibious. IF the planet is a desert world, the ships are heat resistant and faster. Each planet and system has it’s own special conditions, and the DAF division located there is built to suit that environment. DAF ships are, however, generally slower, larger, and more annihilistic, they don’t take prisoners.

Ships

 * DAF FalconReach – The FalconReach is the Capitol Ship of the DAF. It’s capacity to use the Gravity Wave to destroy all cities on a planet would be used by most to destroy enemy planets, but in the case of the DAF, the Gravitation Wave is for destroying your own planets so there is nothing left for the enemy to claim. The FalconReach can also use Planet Busters, Antimatter weaponry, and activate/deactivate planetary shields.

Commanding Officers

 * Captain Riopir (Ri-oh-peer) – The Captain of the FalconReach, a ruthless commander, and the top in command for the DAF, Riopir hold many victories and many stalemates beneath his tail. It is well known that his fur is unruffled by the concept of wiping out entire Yaman planets in order to keep them from the enemy, and he is one of the four people in the Yaman History to use the Gravitation Wave more then once. He has also used the Planet Buster, but said it was a risky tool, as fragments of planet could collide with a ship.

Offensive Affairs Army
The Offensive Affairs Army (OAA) is built for invading any planet, any where. They are fast, agile, and flexible. They are trained to adapt to a planets environment, as well as it’s native population. They make equal use of kill and stun weapons, and are exceptionally skilled at taking prisoners and capturing planets, unlike the other branches, which shoot to kill and aim to win at any cost. The OAA is the only branch that will surrender a city or planet before allowing it to be destroyed or rendered useless.

Defensive Affairs Army
The Defensive Affairs Army (DAA) is a force of nature. Literally, a planets own weather systems will be used to help defend it. They are trained to kill all enemies, and take no prisoners. If you need to burn the city behind you to keep it out of enemy hands, then burn the city will. If you need to kill civilians to protect the empire, then the civilians will die. They are known for being ruthless and merciless, and are armed only with kill weapons.

Royal Guard Fleet
The Royal Guard Flee (RGF) is made up of the most skilled OAF and DAF people available. It is built to protect the Royal Family (and other VIPs in government) and does so. However, it is also expected to capture enemies when possible, and is supposed to protect civilians who are with the Royal Family (though they are not the priority). Armed with the most advanced weapons in the Empire, they are a force to be reckoned with.

Royal Guard Army
The Royal Guard Army (RGA) is Yammed by the most skilled soldiers carefully selected from the OAA and DAA. They are on shoot to cripple orders, unless they have no choice. Any assassins or attackers are to be questioned. They RGA does that as well, being skilled at interrogation. Those who serve here are generally rotated out within four years or so.
