Fiction:Halifaxia/First Great Armada

-First Great Armada--

The First Great Armada is an enormous fleet of ships built by the City State of Halifaxia in the interests of exploring the greater Koldenwelt, forging new trade connections and founding new colonies in the name of Halifaxia. For this purpose, the Armada has been granted a large army, a heavily-armed fleet, dozens of scientists, a team of diplomats and ambassadors, and the permission of the King to do whatever is necessary to achieve its goals with total autonomy.

History
The Great Armada has its origins in the ambitions of King Haivar III. The king, not satisfied with letting trade come to him, wished to build an empire. For that goal, he amassed a huge amount of funding, and spent a decade constructing the largest fleet ever assembled by any Drodo state. Mere months before its completion, Gulvuri Navarin was chosen to be its Admiral; An assignment that held with it huge power, prestige, and risk.

Composition
The Great Armada is worthy of its name. Composed of 250 ships, 50 000 soldiers, 1000 cannon and tens of thousands of more crew, the Armada is a highly advanced fleet that, if well-led, can conquer empires on its own.
