Fiction:Unified Order of Cognalorilos/Cruentus Battlefleet

"The greatest weapon of the Cognatus Empire is their hatred. However, this is also their greatest weakness. Our civilisation is bound by the principles of honour and kinship and thus, we are more powerful."

The Cruentus Battlefleet is the primary martial force utilised by the during military campaigns and planetary defence. A rather loose organisation linked together only through a loyalty to the Order, the Battlefleet operates differently from most other militaries in the Gigaquadrant in this regard. Each fleet is commanded by a high ranking Fleetlord, the most powerful of which is the Supreme Lord of Concordant Resolution, a legend amongst his kind. Other fleetlords include, who leads a vast fleet from his flagship, the stolen Harbinger of Truth. The size of a Fleetlord's fleet is often indicative of the status of the individual in the Meritocracy, with a fleet numbering several hundred ships being indicative of having a commander with a great deal of skill in battle. The military forces of the Cognethril often consist largely of ship designs which are also used by the Cognatus Empire, understandably due to the origins of the Meritocracy as a rebel faction, however upon the establishment of a new sphere of influence in Cyrannus, new ship designs such as the Maephedil-class Battlecruiser were developed which serves as the workhorse of the new fleet.

Trivia
