Fiction:Naakjian Confederation/Military/Data

Ranking
The promotion and ranking system is similar to many other systems. However they have more ranks and have completely different names in terms of language, and as natural for many, own design. A rank that resembles as the commander is one of the highest, but has more control and responsibility for tactical moves and affairs.

In this system, newly recruited personnel gets an unlisted promotion as recruits. Where they go through a compulsory training where they later get promoted as privates. Recruits, that performed well in the training, will either go as Pri'jha (Private- or Ensign Leaders) or as a Ship Captain, but it's depends entirely on the trainee's performance in the attendance.

Recruitment
The military recruits from many directions inside it's own empire. Some are recruited via a compulsory military service and some are volunteers. As the confederation doesn't have compulsory military service everywhere, it's only decided by the star system governments. As rules and policies vary between many of the systems to fit the widespread range of cultures between the planets. Some have military culture, therefore compulsory. Some are not, but driven by honor, many volunteer as there's no compulsory service.

Every recruits are first taken to an academic school that teaches the basics of training and serving in the navy. As well a special education in alien languages which makes it easier to communicate with alien species. After the school, it's up to them to decide which way they want to go, but it's justified by their performance in their school attendance. The best can go first with officer training school and then partake soldier training. While the one who has least performance will be forced to go soldier training first. After least 4 years in duty service, either as a soldier or law enforcement officer, the said personnel will given the chance to attend in the officer school. Which then unlocks new ways, attending in different military programs and/or the eligibility to get promoted further.

The soldier training is an compulsory stage in the military training. But is also used as an entertainment along the military personnel. Since it's mainly a simulator that puts the "player" into a specific battlefield/situation, their general performance depends entirely on their physical performance and training. If you won't go good, you better go training. This program is compulsory for least 3-5 years depending on the performance, then it's up to the personnel to keep their performance, to stay alive or be honored. The training doesn't only consist of physical training, it also offers several more education programs about enemies, diplomacy, equipment and much about dangers and performance in the battlefield, as well tactics.

Army
The army is the backbone of ground combat for the Navy. By ground combat, it's about fighting on the surface of planets and any form of boarding. They specialize in infantry and support given to the ground forces and assets in operation. The support often consists of planetary bombardment, aerial gunfire and OSD (Orbital Supplyment Drop, dropping containers with supply from space). As well armored firesupport, but it's however a rare sight. The infantry relays on aerial vehicles such as transport by any means. This ranges from aerial jet-bikes to space corvettes. Since their flight tech makes it easy to fly in harsh conditions and flying very low, even in dangerous areas such as forests. Because their flight computers keeps the track of incoming obstacles and helps the crew to avoid them, even inevitable dangers.
