Gentlesophonts:
Given the Regency fleets I identified in msg 605/7586 let's look at how
these naval forces might be organized in TNE.
I propose, rather than organization based upon the sectors of the Imperial
era, that the Regency Navy will be organized along the `fronts' of the
Regency: Zhodani, Vargr, Virus and Aslan *ihatei*. This leads to the
following fleet organization (I'm going to adopt Steve Charlton's
terminology):
The Spinward Fleet (4 groups, 250 ships)
212th Group (Jewell) 213th Group (Regina)
193rd Group (Vilis) 18th Group (Lanth)
The Coreward Fleet (6 groups, 375 ships)
214th Group (Aramis) 23rd Group (Rhylanor)
194th Group (Pretoria) 211th Group (Lamas)
195th Group (Sabine) 257th Group (Inar)
The Rimward Fleet (6 groups, 375 ships)
43rd Group (Lunion) 208th Group (Five Sisters)
100th Group (Glisten) 201st Group (Pax Rulin)
202nd Group (Gazulin) 203rd Group (Sindal)
The 1st Quarantine Fleet (6 groups, 375 ships)
151st Froup (Antra) 61st Group (Million)
125th Group (Dunmag) 88th Group (Atsah)
154th Group (Usani) 183rd Group (Geniishir)
The 2nd Quarantine Fleet (6 groups, 375 ships)
260th Group (Zeng) 55th Group (Kamlar)
184th Group (Vast Heavens) 204th Group (Tobia)
74th Group (Macon) 128th Group (Usher)
The Regent's Fleet (6 groups, 375 ships)
73rd Group (Mora) 207th Group (Trin's Veil)
196th Group (Star Lane) 258th Group (Vincennes)
193rd Group (Gulf) 19th Group (Vestus)
Subsector names merely reflect the Imperial era origins of the groups
and may or may not correspond to New Era designations. (For example,
one might expect the 203rd Group to now patrol Regency worlds in District
268.)
Does anyone have any idea what the percentage breakdown might be for
battle, cruiser and assault (carrier) squadrons within a `typical' group?
In the above organization one might expect the Spinward, Rimward and
Regent's Fleets to have a higher percentage of BatRons while the Coreward
and Quarantine Fleets would have more CruRons. AssRons would probably
be concentrated in the Regent's Fleet.
