United Galaxies Council Robotech Expeditionary Forces 14TH Fleet
UGC Clariont Flag.			UGC Clariont Flag.
The REF is a multi-tiered agency, with literally THOUSANDS of subordinate agencies, including all of the Robotech Defense Forces (the system-level defensive agencies, comparable to the National Guards of a few hundred years before), Civil Defense Forces (comparable to the City Militias from before that), the Galactic Survey Agency (which surveys otherwise uncharted systems), Defense Research Agency, and dozens of others agencies. The REF, per say, is divided, initially, into 08 MAJOR agencies: The Spacy (the "navy"), The Marine (not the Marine Corps, but the Marine), the Spaceway Patrol An Enforcement Service (law enforcement, search and rescue, Interdiction/Blockade Enforcement, etc; like the earlier Terran-US Coast Guard or Carbonaran-N'Herrra Chera/Deeve); The GSA (a UNIFORMED, armed agency, make no mistake); DARPA (neither armed NOR uniformed); The Army; The aero-Space Force; And Galactic Engineering (uniformed and armed construction/demolitions agency); And dozens of minor agencies, bureaus, and etc. 14TH Fleet, described here, is an example force. During the War with the Invid, 14TH was assigned to the so-called "Left Flank," moving up the left side of the main force (under the command of Major General HUNTER), securing the main thrust of the campaign against the Invid. In 2055, 14TH was recalled to Terra during the re-unification period (simultaneously fought in the Local Sector against the Carbonarrans and Spherians). Once that was over, 14TH was ordered to Tirol to serve as the Azumption System's primary defense fleet operating out of Fantoma Station (a rebuilt Command Base); They would patrol the entire Local Group along with other fleets. 14TH Fleet is used here as an example for other fleets, which mostly are the same under the re-organization (at which point only the designation system changed, the basic structure remained the same). Due to the enormity of the REF, the agencies involved have to be pared down to the various agencies, but starting points are not assigned; They've had almost 1,000 years to build up, and some individual commands, such as 104TH Infantry and Kuarrebou Gran'lare Zugara Nous-Gran'diel have had MUCH, MUCH longer to build up; Therefore, they'd have maybe an extra 50% points (a "Large Army," such as the aforementioned 104TH, for example, would have nearly 800 points due to it's 600-odd years of service). Alternatively, a Small-Time Company might have half as many points as it's "allowed" to use versus how many they have, due to higher command not authorizing such use.
UGC FOURTEENTH BATTLE GROUP
The 14TH Battle Group is composed of two main elements: 14TH Fleet anchored by UDF-014 CAPE MAY and XIV Corps. These two elements operate as a single unit- Where the Fleet goes the Corps goes, when the Corps must go the Fleet must take them. All is not perfect with this model, however, and the Corps has several vsls of their own, mostly warehouse ships (about half of them converted to barracks ships). However, this problem rarely comes up. 14TH Fleet is composed of the Task Force and four subordinate Strike Forces (14-1, 14-2, 14-3, and 14-4). Though additional Strike Forces can be formed if necessary, only the four AZONIA-Class ships are considered standing Strike Forces. At any given time, 1 is out on a mission, and at least two are on another mission or underway on training. The 14TH Fleet commanders over the years have constantly asked for additional AZONIA- and ANDROMEDA-Class ships, to no avail. The Task Force is composed of two main elements: The Battle Fleet (composed of the Main and Reserve Battle Fleets) and the Support Fleet. For brevity, this document will only briefly cover each element in one part; For example, though all four Strike Fleet's are mentioned, only one of them, Strike Force 14-1 (UGS SANCHEZ, FRV-14-53-223712) will be covered in detail. Equally, though XIV Corps has some 200 Infantry Units, only one, 104TH Infantry, is covered in detail. When referencing a particular unit, one would reference the unit's full designator; For example, 19TH Armored is fully referred to as XIV/2212/19 Armored. A subordinate unit of 19TH is also addressed in such a fashion. The same applies to ships of a given fleet; For example, 14TH Fleet has several STERLING-Class interdiction vsls; One such is ISS HEALY (WHES 14-28-32090948384930809). You may have noted that two tacs (hyphens) are used in hull designators- The first number is the fleet designator, and can change over time. The second number references the number of vsls to date approved; For example, in the case of ISS HEALY, the tac 28 means the UGC has approved for deployment 27 prior vsl classes were approved for deployment prior to the STERLING-Class since the start of the system of hull registration that currently exists. Though the designator "28" indicates the ships came out very long ago, as early as the 3RD Fleet, this really isn't correct; Over 200 classes of vsl have come and gone since the Hull Designator Program began some 200 years ago. When the program began, ALL then in-service UGC militry vsls were listed alphabetically then numbered as such; At the time, the MAXIMILLIAN STERLING-Class happened to be the 28th class on the list. Only the SDF-Classes (then only three, ZOR, GLOVAL, and EXEDORE-Classes; The PIONEER was at the time considered a sub-class of the GLOVAL-Class) were exempted at the time; Since the flagship of a fleet was the SDF assigned, the SDF's are simply numbered in order of construction. With the advent of additional classes of SDF's and the much newer Ultra Dimensional Fortresses, the system remains in place, with one exception; In the case of SDF's, the first number was a "0" and the hull number a minimum of three digits (SDF-001 MACROSS, SDF-002 MEGAROAD, SDF-003 PIONEER, etc). It was decided that the UDF classes would be four digit (even though four digit SDF's already existed, SDF's 0100 through 0231), and the first number would be anything EXPECT a 0 (for example, UWS BREETIA TULL, the first of the class, was designated UDF-1000).
UGC FOURTEENTH FLEET.
NOTE: These vsls were built by the equivalent of a mega-empire, and therefore cost 10% the "normal" costs.
UGS CAPE MAY (SDF-014)
UGS CAPE MAY has been a workhorse of the UGC for many years. This PIONEER-Class Battlefortress is not terribly spectacular, but tracks her namesake history back to a MONTGOLIFIER-Class repair ship that had been a converted TOKAGOWA-Class from the Gloval Civil War era. The original CAPE MAY had received several battle ribbons during the GCW and the T'sentraedi assault. During the war against the Regent, she shipped out with Third Fleet and was again awarded several times for courage, despite her status as a repair vsl. The current CAPE MAY continues the proud tradition of her namesake though as an SDF, never shying away from battle; Over a thousand times now she and her crew have been the point of the tip of the spear in assault, and in fact has made over 100 hostile landings ISO UGC policy; In other words, planetry assaults under fire.
Size and Orientation: Battle Fortress (equivalent to "City Size"- 500). Function: Militry/Scientific (emphasis on militry), with a tertiary function of disaster response.
Features:
A: Power System:	B: Defenses:	C: Sensors:	D: Communications:
Protoculture (equivalent to Fusion- 10); Back up Nuclear, Solar, and Battery Power (0) was also installed.	Shields; Point Defense Weapons Systems; Short Range Weapons; Medium Weapons; and Heavy Weapons; Space Fighters (as many as 5 Squadrons); TRIPLE Armored Hull.	Short, Medium, and Long Range Satellites: Over 200 total; A Dozen Interstellar Satellites: The Strike Forces; Scouts: The rest of the battle fleet; Superior Sensors.	Satellites: Short, Medium, and Long Range Satellites (over 100 plus relays through other ships); Stellar Communications through the hyperspace communications relay. However, typically all inter-stellar traffic is relayed via "MA BELL."
E: Station Maintenance:	F: Supplies:	G: Internal Security:	H: Medical Facilities:
Top Priority; Remember this IS a militry vsl, not your daddy's fishing boat.	Dependent (0); Even more so than "average" dependence, as the ship can hardly go a full month while deployed on operations without getting re-supplied, especially on fresh foods.	Magic Security, supplemented by a Company of Marines.	Advanced Medical Ward, but NOT a true hospital.
I: Environmental Systems:	J: Independent Business:	K: Transients:
Basic with artificial gravity (through Fehran grav pod technology).	None (0), though the ship does have a "ship's store," a smallish "mini-mart" that sells a variety of sundries.	Closed (60); Remember this IS a militry vsl, not the Love Boat.
Since most of the vsls of the fleet have about the same stats less comms (no other vsl has interstellar comes other than "MA BELL") and no other vsl has the bow-mounted main cannons, these stats (less applicable variances) can be applied to all vsls in the fleet; most vsls in the fleet as far less fighters- Unless otherwise noted (here or elsewhere), not more than a flight's worth (six to eight ships). Also, each vsl has "a" function, and should be increased to the MAXIMUM for that category. For example, ISS RECOVERY (TA-AH 14-13-023570987359847543) is a DAVID ESTEP-Class Hospital ship; Consequently they would NOT have much in the way of weapons (though they do have satellites equipped with a variety of decoys and other anti-weapons systems), but does have the equivalent not just of a "Full Hospital", but in fact of a full medical center- That is, five to six SEPARATE hospitals, with different functions (the ESTEP-Class in fact has an in-patient violent psychiatric unit- In other words, a psychiatric brig). These variations are only briefly covered in the vsls's discussion.
General Information:			Size And Orientation:
14TH Fleet. Colors: Standard UGC yellow on blue/In time of war, the black on red colors can be used with authorization. Symbol/Crest/Banner: Above. Owner: The United Galaxies Council via The Spacy. Commanding Officer: Fleet Admiral. Executive Officer: Admiral. Duties: As a Fleet 14TH Fleet is responsible for executing a full campaign.			Large Army (500).
The Main Battle Fleet: UGS CAPE MAY (SDF-014): Direct Units: Any three to 10 BLOCKADER-Class Picket Ship at any given time. 03 IKAZUCHI-Class Battlecarriers: UGC SURPRISER, MICHIGAN, and CI'VOL. Direct Units: Each is assigned 02 BLOCKADER-Class at any given time. Spaceways Patrol And Enforcement Services Ships: Though the Patrol Ships WILL engage in combat if ordered to (indeed, all BLOCKADER-Class vsls are Patrol Ship), the vsls listed below typically are kept separate from the main battle fleet to do what they do best; Interdiction and SAR. 06 MAXIMILLIAN STERLING-Class SAR Ships; Direct Units: Each is assigned 02 BLOCKADER-Class at any given time. Modifications to the standard baseline: As described above. 02 MIRIYA PARINO-STERLING-Class Interdiction Ships; Direct Units: Each is assigned 12 BLOCKADER-Class at any given time. Modifications to the standard baseline: As described above. 06 DAVID ESTEP-Class T-AH; Direct Units: Each is assigned 12 BLOCKADER-Class at any given time, and each is assigned crews with established psychiatric issues; Basically these vsls are expected to commit suicide, if necessary, to protect the hospital ships. WARNING: SHOOTING AT A HOSPITAL SHIP IS DEFINITELY CONSIDERED A BAD IDEA; EVEN A STRAY, ACCIDENTAL SHOT HAS A TENDENCY TO DRAW THE ATTENTION OF THE FULL BATTLE FLEET. FIRING ON A HOSPITAL SHIP IS ESTABLISHED UNDER UGC LAW AS CLEARANCE FOR WEAPONS HOT WITH REFLEX WEAPONRY. (In short, don't shoot the Docs.) Modifications to the standard baseline: Basically no weapons at all, but extensive defensive anti-weapons systems. 200 ADMIRALTY-Class Patrol Ship; Assigned to long-range patrol and zone security. Direct Units: Each of these vsls are assigned any 02 ALLIANCE-Class Fleet Pickets. Modifications to the standard baseline: As described above. As the flagship of 14TH Fleet, UGS CAPE MAY will normally use her Space Fold system to move the entire fleet in interstellar operations, but it's not a requirement. Any Space Fold equipped ship in the fleet can be used for this purpose. Additionally, this only applies in situations where CAPE MAY is going with the fleet; If part of the fleet is being sent independently of the rest, they would use their own space fold systems. Strike Forces: Strike Forces are a little different, on account of no two Strike Force Deployments are the same. Therefore, all that can be said definitively about them is there are four of them, UGC ELAINA (FRV 14-102-455644564),UGC RUSH (FRV 14-102-455644565), UGC EVENT (FRV 14-102-455644566), and ISS BEAR (FRV 14-102-455644567- note that the BEAR is an Patrol Vsl, not a Spacy Vsl), and that each of them has at least two ANDROMEDA-Class Medium Cruiser, plus whatever is necessary for the Strike Force mission. AZONIA LAPLAMIS-Class FRV's; Each is attended by at least two ANDROMEDA-Class Medium Cruiser, plus whatever is necessary for the Strike Force mission. Modifications to the standard baseline: As described above. 14 CONSTELLATION-Class Battleships; Assigned as needed. Modifications to the standard baseline: As described above. 24 KHYRON KRAVSHERRA-Class Ships: Also assigned as needed. Note- The KHYRON KRAVSHERRA-Class is NOT capable of extended space operations independently of a space ship. Modifications to the standard baseline: As described above. Support Fleet 309 BLOCKADER-Class Patrol Ships protect the following assets: 04 MONTGOLIFIER-Class; UGS WRENCH (ATFRS 14-10-343985893754), UGS ANVIL (ATFRS 14-10-343985893756), UGS IO (ATFRS 14-10-343985893757), and UGS COUFE (pronounced "coope") (ATFRS 14-10-343985893758). Direct Units: Each is assigned 02 MULE-Class Fleet Tugs. Modifications to the standard baseline: As described above. 24 TERRA-Class AOE's. Modifications to standard baseline: As described above. 30 Renorby-Class AS; Modifications to the standard baseline: As described above. 01 FOLSOM-Class Detention Ship (APB/R-58, property of 1138TH Modifications to the standard baseline: Far more defensive features; Improved shields, far more extensive anti-weapons defenses, etc due to the fact that these vsls are used to hold those who can not defend themselves in the event of an attack. WARNING: Shooting at the Detention Ship is a really bad idea. The original UES FOLSOM was attacked and destroyed some 200-odd years ago, and that incident continues to haunt the UGC. Only attacking a Hospital Ships is considered a greater insult, and ANY attack on the Detention Ships is considered authorization in and of itself for weapons hot for anything SHORT of reflex and nuclear weaponry (except in defense). Direct Units: 24 pickets provide both protection and to discourage escape attempts. 02 Forger-Class Agricultural Ships; The fleet still has to eat, and fresh foods are safer than extended stored foods, though the lack of fresh meat on campaign does effect moral after a while. 01 Sojourner-Class Cargo vsls: UGS STARWATCH (AO-14-82-431) carries the bulk of the fleet's supplies, including the desperately needed fresh meat. Direct Units: These ships are protected by the same HUNTER-Class Pickets that protect the Forger-Class vsls. 06 Galactica-Class Exploration Vsls: Protected by up to 04 HUNTER-Class Pickets at any given time. Typically these vsls are underway doing exploration work, but will respond to any emergency if ordered (more than once they have responded on their own initiative and were ordered back to their normal duties). UGC Intelligence Ships: 01 EMPORER-Class AGF (C3I); UGS QUEEN ELIZABETH THE VIII and UGS ARCHDUKE FREIANORE. Direct Units: only the fleet's 02 BATTLESTAR-Class Spyships report to the EMPORER-Class intelligence vsls. Of the two, QUEEN ELIZABETH THE VIII is the superior vsl, ARCHDUKE FREIANORE is the back-up vsl. Shuttles: Every vsl big enough to have a shuttle has the full complement of these vsls. 'Nuff said. UGC Landships: With the exception of thos elsewhere enumerated on this list, all Landships belong to XIV Corps. Other Assets: Most of these vsls are part of the support fleet, and protected by the Support Fleet Security. These vsls rarely get underway at any rate. 01 Three Star-Class Factory Ship, ISS FACTORY (FFV 14-92-0934903284093284900993274837). 01 Hollywood-Class Amusement Vessel; ISS RELEASE (T-AH 14-93-9459435947238654354642174212) is treated as a hospital vsl, though it is also a rest and relaxation vsl. Attendance can be mandated by medical personnel and/or superiors- It's status as the "play house" of the fleet is understood, and is justifiable on its own right (indeed, it was the COUNCIL'S idea, not the REF's, to include these vsls). 01 Einstein-Class Research Ship: BOS JOHN HOPKINS (RSS 14-43-544978441351574) typically reverse-engineers captured enemy mat'eri'el; This is a Brotherhood Of Steel vsl. SACPAKs: 14TH Battle Group has 200 SACPAKs (effectively the equivalent of Corvettes).
XIV Corps.
XIV Corps is the ground element of Fourteenth Fleet. It is centered on 2212TH Headquarters Regiment with many subordinate elements of its own. Funding for XIV is separate from Fourteenth Fleet, but XIV Corps is subordinate to the fleet overall. They may or may not be detailed to a given mission. XIV owns unto itself a few ships; UGS NORFOLK (MQQ/DLS-111), 1138TH's brig ship, UGS MORGAN (MTR/CSS-14), UGS ALISON (HSTC-217), UGS GARZIAN HORAN (MQQ/DLHS- 02),UGS ANDREW BLOUNT (TR/SS-1421), UGS FOLSOM (MRNL/M-211), UGS MA BELL (FT/REP-144413), UGS TITANIC (CC-216), UGS VIRGINIA (CC-7220), and UGS DORCHESTER (AT-21289) a troop transport (and former luxury liner). These ships (and a few others) belong to XIV Corps alone, and can not be detailed to any other mission; In fact, UGS ALISON belongs solely and exclusively to 271ST Dragoon and can only be re-tasked from her primary missions (delivering 271TH and providing fire support for them) by request to the Dragoon; To date, only 451ST T'sentraedi Kerugadorasu Zugara and Kuarrebou Gran'lare Zugara Nous-Gran'diel (T'sentraedi Ninja) Company have successfully made such a request for a non-urgent ("urgent" meaning under immediate fire) support.

The REF had a great many commands; This collection is but a small number thereof. The are, nominally all part of one, larger, command, 2212TH Headquarters Regiment. As a GENERAL rule, REF units were made of several other units from several nations, to avoid the RDF-era tradition of transferring a unit intact to the force, then leaving them in separate chains of command (which helped to foster internationalist resentments). However, T'sentraedi units were kept separate from the Human commands, and separated from each other by placing one or two such units within a larger command as a check against organized, large scale rebellion. (Though no such rebellion formed, it was nevertheless a concern.)

VPB-6 "Greenland Patrol"
VPB-6 Patrol Bombing Squadron SIX (RDF/CG), aka "Greenland Patrol" (or "T'sentraedi Patrol") was originally a SAR and Ice Patrol Unit, but off and on was used as a bomber and sub chaser unit. The entire unit was transferred to Macross Island at the request of the government of Greenland and the RDF, and was on Macross Island the day of the fateful space fold operation. On Zor's Ship, the SAR and Ice patrols found new life, though "SAR" had now come to mean "Salvage And Recovery", due to the tolls space combat caused. Rarely was a rescue mission successful. The Ice Patrol missions became a meteor, asteroids, and other debris patrol (especially at the battle of Jupiter's Rings), and just after the battle of Mars Sara Base. The bombing and sub chasing mission continued as well, launching harassment attacks against T'sentraedi Salan Scouts. VT's were assigned to the squadron as a flanking shield, while modified Cat's Eyes actually conducted the attack runs. The rotor disk would be removed to reduce the ship's overall weight and take strain off the engines, while bomb racks were mounted to the wings. Usually another VF Squadron, VF-41 "Black Aces" worked with us and our sister unit, VB-20 "Screaming Indian", especially on larger, group-formation attacks. VPB-6's sister units were VF-41 "Black Aces" (flanking squadron) and VMB-20 "Screaming Indian", and use essentially the same stats. The only major difference is that VMB-20 used Titan Tunnys instead of Assault Shuttles, and the numbers of Veritech fighters was pretty much inverse, as VPB-6 was used primarily in space and VMB-20 was used primarily in atmosphere. VF-41 didn't have any bombers, but had 10 times as many VAF-6's and VBF-8's. An interesting aside to the VPB-6 story is the patent lack of racism in this unit; The Commanding Officer, Capt Jericho, and XO, Com. Moran, had served in VPB-6 aboardrd the SDF-1, but had transferred to other units during the Reconstruction Era. During that time, they had served with T'sentraedi under other officers, some of whom showed complete racist attitudes towards the aliens; This had the effect of breeding an anti-racist attitude in them, as both saw the T'sentraedi that they had served with fight well and hard and serve honorably. Because of this, they actively recruited T'sentraedi to VPB-6, though REF policy restricted them to non-Veritech vehicles. T'sentraedi pilots instead flew just about everything else, from recon craft to rescue craft to Guardians and Destroids; All of the Destroids and rescue craft and MOST of the Guardians were pilots by T'sen. The T'sen serving under Capt Jericho and Com. Moran showed their appreciation for their commander's faith and trust by being the most fanatical of fighters and rescuers; Not a SINGLE REF or Sentinel pilot was ever lost do to T'sentraedi mistakes, and many T'sen warriors paid with their lives protecting their Micronian allies. It is little surprise, then that T'sentraedi from other units, including 451 st and Kuarrebou Gran'lare were welcomed at VPB-6 moral events (keggers).

Kuarrebou Gran'lare Zugara: Nous-Gran'diel (T'sentraedi Ninja) Company
They were called negronta, T'sen-mot, mi'cronnie, even hajoca; What NOBODY forgot was THEY WERE EFFECTIVE. None could question their, their… Their gadoraraskas. Very often they were the derurigaadom (the "sacrificial lamb" used to evacuate a larger unit, even a whole army, when the battle was lost). More often, however, they were used as their name implied; Sabotage and infiltration of Invid Hives. This was the ONLY unit more accustomed to being miconized, than they were to being full sized, and had made for them a suit of body armor just for that purpose (see end). However, despite all their success, the REF continued to treat them as second-class citizens; So blatant was the racism, that they were denied even a ship of their own, but were forced to work out of UGS TITANIC (CC-216); At that, they were only authorized a pair of FRAND'LAR TILUVO-Class Shuttles (T'sentraedi Re-entry Pods). Despite this, they remained HIGHLY loyal and dedicated, and driven to not only complete the mission, but on-time (which always meant "ahead of schedule", unless operationally required to restrain themselves), and at all costs. This unit, before the end of the war, would suffer 58% casualties defending their Micronian allies; The worst of Human/Sentinel casualties by unit was 271ST Dragoon at 31% casualties. (It is no coincidence that 271ST's members were more than willing to hang out with Kuarrebou Gran'lare Zugara and 451ST members, as both pulled 271ST out of the fire on more than one occasion. That, and the fact that the T'sentraedi had no problem getting into fist-fights with the micronian friends. It is also little surprise to anyone that both the all-T'sen commands were generally persona non-grata with other units outside combat-related duties.)

1138TH MP Battalion
The 1138TH MP Battalion is a major subordinate command of 2212TH Headquarters Battalion. 1138TH MP Battalion is a combat ready, deployable force which stands ready to support UGC interests, most especially those related to militry law enforcement. During peacetime, it conducts daily 24-hour continuous enforcement and security support to all of2212TH HQB's subordinate commands. The mission of 1138TH MP Battalion is to alert, marshal, and deploy MP units anywhere to provide combat militry police support; To prevent crimes and accidents, investigate those that occur, and if necessary to arrest those responsible. The unit also assists local emergency services (law enforcement and otherwise) when requested, and takes custody of militry personnel arrested/detained by local law enforcement agencies. 1138TH MP Battalion typically assigns a squad to a given associate unit for their use during a given mission, though a full company can be deployed if necessary. There are several types of Militry Policemen, including Forward Ground Control (aka "traffic cops"), Security Detachment (guards), Investigators (who often, if not usually, wear civilians clothes when on the job), analysts, and several other sub-categories. FIRST COMPANY: THE DOGS: The original 1138TH Militry Police COMPANY was formed ad hoc from whatever law enforcement, civilian or militry, had survived the Space fold accident on Macross Island to serve as body guards for Captain GLOVAL, Commanders HAYES and FOLKER, Macross Mayor Tommy LUAN, and other key figures of the SDF-1. The press took to calling them "GLOVAL'S personal attack dogs" after an incident in Macross City; 1138TH took that insult and made it their name (to Captain GLOVAL'S annoyance). First Company continues on as the personal body guards of 14TH Fleet and XIV Corps Flag Staff, as well as visiting VIP's. Every single DOG would happily put themselves in front of a bullet for their principles (the person they're assigned to protect), but more than once a DOG has given their principle a bunch of bruises in the process of protecting them. Second through Twentieth Companies: General MP Twenty-First Company: Heavy Weapons Second Platoon, Delta Squad/Third Platoon, Mike Squad Twenty-Second Company: Undercover-Unsanctioned Mecha Retrieval Program (Mod Squad) Twenty-Third Company: IAD (Rat Squad) First Platoon: General Internal Affair Second Platoon: IAD-U/C (Dirty Rat Squad, their tag actually being a debris and dirt/mud/sewage encrusted large sewer rat) Twenty Fourth through Eighth Companies: Base Security Attached Units: Detachment 1/450TH Civil Affairs Battalion; Defense Attorneys for the command. JAG Officers are rotated into 1/450TH for a few months at a time; After extremely LONG cases, an officer will not, typically, be reassigned to 1/450TH unless they request it. 1/450TH also is responsible for civil (tort) actions, and has some (though not all) responsibility for civil affairs (civil rights) issues. After 2250, 1138TH was additionally tasked to be the training command for the REF's Militry Police program due in part to their standing proximity to the Officer Candidate's School in addition to their other duties; A 1138TH MP Company is deployed whenever possible to front line areas as MP oversight and as needed as support to the assigned fleet's MP's.

Commanding Officer: Marine Colonel. Executive Officer: SPAES (Patrol) Captain. Though the same rank and technically equals, 1138TH's highly unusual multiple service leadership meant someone had to take the lead; The Marines took the lead on SDF-1 due to their long history of law enforcement and body guard duties, and the fact that they were shoot first and ask questions later. Duties: General Law Enforcement, Correctional, and Body Guard duties.			Large Army (500).

Vehicles and Equipment:
1138TH's original home was UGS NORFOLK (MQQ/DLS-111) REF Brig Ship, a converted QUILTRA QUELEUAL-Class Dock Landing Ship. In her unique case, she has was modified to be a brig ship, holding law-breakers temporarily (until the return to Earth is complete). As many of the sentences were completed long before the return to earth occurred, those that could be were released on either Tirol or one of several dozens of colonies the REF had established during the war. NORFOLK was never intended to be a prison; However, circumstances being such as they were, she ended up being one. Fortunately, her brig was never more than about 10% full, and NORFOLK ended up pulling a collateral duty as storage space for Mecha and Warship parts. The reason for her special status, as part of a Detachment but not inclusive thereof, was the special status of her operational crew. Due to their unusual position in society, 1138TH was granted a ship unto themselves, allowing them the autonomy to enforce IPA UCMJ and REF Policy upon their own Detachment (which was, in fact, their mission). Unfortunately NORFOLK was destroyed in a rather brazenly cowardly attack; The incident haunts REF leadership 250 years later. As a result, the FOLSOM-Class Detention Ship was developed in part using advice from the surviving 1138TH MPs and NORFOLK crew. The new NORFOLK has a command crew, but her Commanding Officer is the Marine Colonel in command of 1138TH. The XO of NORFOLK is a SPAES (Patrol) Commander, who answers to the Colonel; The XO of 1138TH is a wholly separate chain of command. The Marine Colonel is also wearing three other covers at the same time as CO of VPB-6, VF-41, AND VMB-20, which collectively serve as NORFOLK'S protective fighter/bomber detachment. The three wings XO's report to the Marine Colonel; The successful 1138TH CO's treat their XO's as CO's in training, rather than try to actually manage the chaos they've inherited intervening only as absolutely necessary (Capt's masts are actually carried out by the XO's, then the Captain holds a Mast to review the case, ensure all matters have been attended to, then, if so, approves it). As a result, the XO's have to be HIGHLY cooperative; Any of them can be canned on the spot without so much as a reason (they are typically re-assigned to another like unit without the prison adding to their troubles); Rather than hold an Officer's Call the ship holds a a Captain's Call in NORFOLK'S cabin once a day (after the subordinate Officer's Call). To date, only the Patrol Captains have proven troublesome; Patrolmen might trace their history to the Terran Coast Guards, but like their ancient counterparts they are "second" to God. (More than one Spacy Admiral has learned "don't fuck with the Patrol, they don't fight fair, they don't play fair, and they don't like losing.")

Most units had their equipment nearly completely replaced in the 2250 transitions; 1138TH was effected by these changes as well, but there was certain equipment they did actually need to keep, and as such were given waivers. Particularly, Veritech Cars were retained. The list here reflects wheat they are authorized to keep online, but all Veritech cars were transferred to 1138TH and placed in reserve status mostly being used for parts.
255TH Transportation Battalion "REX VIAE" (King Of The Road).
Convoys are the most efficient way of moving large amounts of cargo. Truck and small shuttlecraft convoys moved thousands of tons of cargo to combat troops and fire bases daily, while larger vessels held hundreds of thousands of tons of material awaiting distribution. Road travel was always hazardous and strict precautions were taken to ensure the safety of each convoy so that vital food, ammunition and other supplies got to their destination safely. Daily, engineers cleared the roads and searched for mines. Artillery at fire bases stood ready to fire in support of the convoy and Alphas maintained aerial surveillance to ensure a rapid response in the event of an attack, usually with Betas/Legios units near the area. In some cases, Special forces stood by to counter attack enemy units attempting to ambush vital convoys. During the evacuation of FBX 21555320 255TH Transportation Battalion ran the trains used in the evacuation of civilians across the planet, allowing at least another 25 million people to escape Ascension Supremacy.

The LANG-Class is usually used as a transport vsl as well until needed to repair something. MORGAN is kept in a rear area, off loading supplies headed to the front as needed and thus allowing her to return to the auxiliary fleet to retrieve more supplies as needed.
216TH Engineer Regiment.
"How do you get equipment to the troops when there is a river between them?" "YOU BUILD A BRIDGE." 216TH Engineer Regiment Emblem. A "Bailey Building" Partially Built. The REF 216TH Engineer Regiment's mission is to build all the support facilities needed by the REF on a secured worlds, including directing the construction of fortifications, harbors and channels on planet side rivers, dredge and fill operations, preliminary Underground Mines (used in mining operations, most notably for iron which is turned to steel), establishing mine field (planet side and, in conjunction with the fleet orbital), building roads and bridges (permanent and temporary, including Bailey Bridges, pontoon and ribbon bridges), power plants and dams (for hydroelectric power), Aero-Space ports, Pipelines, Planetary defense construction programs (including LRM sites, anti-ship batteries, and etc), storage depots, hospitals, and barracks, and in planning and coordinating siege operations, including undermining (sapping) enemy fortifications, clearing enemy mine fields, penetrating Hive walls, etc. The 216TH also maintains four laboratories, for the development of new materials and chemicals for the REF (it was 216TH's Delta lab that came up with the new plasma propellant as a replacement for cordite). Of particular interest to 216TH Engineers is their emblematic Bailey Bridges; They've become so adept at the Bailey Bridges that they don't even build bridges anymore- They build EVERYTHING (including bridges). They typically construct buildings by stacking twin 2,000 square foot "boxes" on top of each other over a ground level of three sets of Bailey sections that have been anchored by 12 specialized panels (called Dodson Panels) in squares stacked triple high at the corners and mid-spans; Over this is laid wood, sheet metal, or etc. to form a shell. The sections are decked, then the decks are partitioned as needed. 216TH Engineer is so good at this, that they built Sander Space Port's ground side just out of Bailey Bridge sections- A complex of 20 acres and over 100 buildings, including warehouses, berthing, office buildings (in fact the largest building is the 12 deck, 5.2 million square foot Anders Hall, which is entirely administrative), workshops, and even a bowling alley (that nobody uses) and gym (that everyone uses, so much so that they added a second deck).

271ST Dragoon
The war with the Regent revealed an unfortunate deficit in REF planning; The plan was a one or two year campaign to compelled the Tiresians to sign a permanent peace treaty. What was revealed at the other end was a well entrenched and ruthlessly determined Invid Empire that Terra would have to fight. The REF only brought one little brig ship for holding suspected law breakers for a few years at most The Flag Of 271ST Dragoon's Flag. It was taken from the US Army's Second Cavalry from the 1860 era; Major MAKEPEACE had served with Second Cavalry during the GCW. The LgionOf Merit with cluster. The Special Serive Medal. until they could be bound over for Courts-Martial back on earth. That wasn't going to happen. In many cases, the misconduct was either minor or understandable considering the circumstances- There were literally thousands of cases of "Striking A Superior," "Contempt Or Disrespect To An Officer," and other misconducts that while serious were not reasonable to try in any fashion. Into this dilemma stepped then Major Thomas D. MAKEPEACE, a Global Civil War era paratrooper hailing from Jamacia. His proposal was to take any REF trooper accused of a crime punishable by 2 years or less of confinement and put them into a command he would build for a Hovertank based assault force that would divert defenders long enough to allow a main force to punch through to the real target. In exchange for six months with his penal unit, the accused would have their records sealed conditional that they did not repeat the actions that got them sent to him, or other sufficiently egregious actions. As you well know, a Dragoon is horse mounted infantry. However, in the case of the 271st, called "The Hammers," the "horse" was a GARFISH-Class transport. They would land on a planet targeted for assault in an area far from the garrisoning forces, land, dismount, then hold their position. Sometimes this was done in preparation for a larger forces assault; Sometimes as a decoy; Often only to hold a vital, but safely remote, area. This by no means implies they were anything less than warriors. They were usually sent several DAYS ahead of the main assault force, drawing massive attention to themselves. Their first commanding officer, Col Thomas D. MAKEPEACE, reveled in this. A fighter's fighter, Col MAKEPEACE mandated that ALL members of his command take boxing, hovercycle, and Cyclone combat elite training, as well as their normal Mecha (the 271ST was equipped MOSTLY with VHTs), a policy that remains in effect. Once the force was landed, the ALISON (the 271ST's GARFISH) would return to orbit to provide some cover fire against Invid and Invid allied warships), but the 271st was basically on their own. The 271ST also experimented with "glider boards" during the war with the Regent; Though not nearly as effective as would be desirable, the wingboards did allow them an incredible advantage in surprise, which more than justified their continued use until the advent of improved Mecha-sized grav pods late into the war with the Atorians, which they used on several occasions for full frontal assaults on Atorian and allied positions- the "Suicide Missions" that Colonel MAKEPEACE became famous for (and weren't suicidal at all because Col. MAKEPEACE reveled almost as much in spiting his doubters as his did in the battles that he engaged in). 271ST Dragoon still has these boards, and still, on occasion, uses them for special demonstrations. See "WB-417 Disposable Poly-Carbonate Wing Boards" for more details. Lt. Col. MAKEPEACE took the flag from the US Army's Second Cavalry, which he'd served with during the Global Civil War, making over a dozen combat jumps and twice as many helicopter assaults in eastern Europe against Serbian Army to prevent their militia allies from moving forward. It was said that he learned how to be a monster in that world- As a result he had "Monster" tattooed across his chest where it was mostly covered in dress uniform, but not fully as a direct response to the slur. During the evacuation of FBX 21555320, 271ST Dragoon would to a man earn the Special Service Medal and their Commanding Officer on behalf of the Dragoon earned the Legion Of Merit with cluster for their stand at Riverpoint Apartments, a holding action that allowed 255TH Transportation the time necessary to evacuate thousands of civilians; As a result, 271ST is one of very few units authorized to fly the Legion Of Merit battle streamer (with the word Riverpoint emblazoned on it).
Colors: UGC standard yellow on blue. Owner: UGC through 271ST Fleet, XIV Corps. Commanding Officer: Major Executive Officer: Major (junior seniority). 271ST's size technically should rate it a full Colonel (and at first it did); However, due to their unusually high number of disciplinry members (it is a disciplinry unit), a lesser grade is selected to command it. Duties: Ride in hard and hold the line long enough for heavier conventional forces to arrive. Tactics: 271ST is XIV Corps' "battering ram" to land on contested worlds; They literally fly Veritech Hover Tanks out of spacecraft like paratroopers of ancient days. For ceremonial purposes they still ride wingboards, though the advent of improvements in grav pods makes this mostly unnecessry (every 271ST is required to qualify on them, though). Typically they land distal to the enemy's main bases, forcing the defenders to come out and meet them, but on at least two occasions just during the Battle Of Terra 271ST flew into Invid Hives (at a 50% attrition rate).

104TH Infantry "Timberwolf" (or "T-Wolves") Division
104TH Infantry is an all-power and body armor infantry brigade, which includes its own airborne infantry and field artillery battalions, used mostly as a temporary garrison force on newly-secured positions on planets that have just been secured. They additionally conduct humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, assist in construction (both militry and civilian critical necessities, etc. In major assaults, 104TH serves as a screening force for tanks, which in turn serve as a screening force for Destroids and other ground pounding Mecha. In the field, they are equipped to survive, totally unassisted, for up to 14 days at a time. Like most infantry unit, 104TH has its own Destroids, but they typically go much further ahead of the main column, searching through cities abandoned by the robot-equipped forces, and thus usually leave theirs behind. Later in the war, the 104TH developed their own Destroids, the Timberwolf Heavy Main Assault Destroid and the Marauder Light Cavalry Destroid. Though these only saw limited action, they were employed very successfully after the war by other units later on, especially during the late-war holding action in Granish on FBX 21555320, when the decision was made to evacuate the planet. This was also to be one of 104TH Infantry's finest hours, as the Division, at half-strength, held the north side of the the city against an insurgency four times their own numbers, AND reinforced 451st T'sentraedi Kerugadorasu Zugara (which had been nearly destroyed when their Destroids were re-deployed due to the east front feint). Attached Units: 504st Parachute Infantry Regiment: Parachute equipped Cycloners. 782ND Combat Support Battalion: Specialists in tank/infantry combined action.

19TH Armored Division
The Fighting Nineteenth Tank Division, as it came to be called, is 2212TH Headquarters Regiment (most especially 104TH Infantry) main Mecha Battalion. It has served in every major campaign, and most minor campaigns, of the war against the Regent. In this time the battalion destroyed enemy equipment equivalent to ten times it's own size, PER PLANET. It also has had the lowest percentage of vehicles abandoned in combat on the front lines. The 19TH has suffered 250 battle casualties: 40% killed in action or died of wounds and only 25% wounded in action-unfit for duty. An impressive record, especially one routinely targeted for major, all-out assault by enemy Mecha. Most injuries have resulted from accidents, pneumonia, dysentery, trench foot, battle fatigue and other causes. The 19TH is an independent Mecha battalion; This does NOT mean it operates without tank or infantry screens. During the war it has become standard operating procedure in combat operations to attach a Destroid squad to each front-line infantry company. Mecha provided support to the infantry in suppressing enemy Mecha, while tanks smash strong points and bunkers, providing close-in artillery fire, combating enemy tanks and vehicles, and suppressing enemy infantry not able to deal effectively with tanks. On 01 November 2111, the 750TH was attached to the 104TH Infantry Division and was ordered to move to the vicinity of Gimerh'h on Garuda. In a commendation issued on 21 December 2011 at the conclusion of the battle of for the city, General GRANT stated, "The services of the 19TH Armored Division have been characterized by the highest degree of cooperation, unselfish devotion to duty and by the greatest degree of aggressiveness, and combat efficiency. We consider the 19TH Armored as being a tried and true Timberwolf unit, battle tested and combat proven." Attached units: 1012TH Combat Support Company: Maintenance and repair of vehicles and supply. 60TH Ordinance/Ordinance Disposal Detachment: All ammunition handling is by 60TH personnel outside of combat; Mecha are re-armed and "duds" disposed of by 60TH. In combat, duds are dealt with by throwing them at the enemy and them shooting them, in the hopes that will make it explode. 60TH also un-loads any unexpended ordinance. 60TH is a CBR/Reflex cleared unit.

Vehicles and Equipment:
As a front line combat unit, all 19TH Armored personnel use power armor; As a front line armored unit, about 75% are Destroid pilots. With the 2550 reformations the Division switched over completely to REF Raditzs Regult Zulu-1, but as an acknolwdegment of the intensity of the kind of battles the Fighting Nineteenth and similar units gets into they were specifically designed around the PA-02 Rifleman Power Armor. Most armored units reconfigure the cockpit to the more comfortable battle armor configuration; 19TH Armored doesn't. Beyond that 19TH Armored operates armored vehicles, primarily around 300 of the M-221 Grant Hovertank.
229TH Mobile Surgical Hospital
The 229TH was formed as an ad-hoc field hospital, drawing people from the SDF-3 and several others ships, plus some medical services personnel who survived the Invid assault on Tirol. The 229TH utilized the GARZIAN HORAN, an former T'sentraedi Dock Landing ship converted to a hospital ship until a new DAVID ESTEP-Class hospital ship became available; she too was named GARZIAN HORAN. The 229TH WAS troubled in some areas, however, mostly noticeably discipline and morale; Too little of one, too much of the other. Unauthorized uniforms was pretty much the norm (as Major General HUNTER and Admirals HAYES-HUNTER and STERLING were all, separately and identically, to recall in their memoirs, during their first tour of the camp, they thought they'd been lead into a very orderly refugee camp), and officers and enlisted routinely referred to each other by first name (Major General HUNTER would recall this was the main reason for his mistaken impression of the unit). On the moral front, they had FAR too much. Illegal stills were common enough throughout the REF (Admiral HAYES-HUNTER was rumored to have had one in her cabin aboard the SDF-3)- But few and far between were the tents in 229TH that DIDN'T have one. And many, and commonly to be found, were the empty prophylactic containers in trash cans- And unlike other units (such as 467TH Rangers), the need for this equipment did NOT have anything to do with keeping weapons free of debris. Attached Units: 812TH Medical Company (Air Ambulance); Primary response to hot-LZ medivac. 02 Commanchero helicopters and 01 Reentry Pods. 20 personnel. 379TH Medical Detachment; A reserve pools of extra medics, nurses, and doctors who would be assigned to the other units as need. Mostly it had combat-qualified medics. 250 personnel. 44TH Medical Hospital (Evacuation); Primary duties were transporting stabilized personnel to rear area hospitals and hospital ships. 30 personnel. 422ND Medical Detachment; Optical/hearing, health maintenance, and etc. Also had primary long-term care duties. 25 personnel. 9TH Psychological Operations Battalion (Command and Control Team); Ensure REF personnel mental/emotional health, and study enemy psychology to develop strategies to combat them. 24 personnel.

UGS GARZIAN HORAN (AHC/S- 663); A DAVID ESTEP-Class hospital ship and the third ship to bear the name GARZIAN HORAN. Like her namesake, this GARZIAN HORAN always lands belly-down which is fairly unusual for an REF ship (typically they land stern-down into combat, and settle onto their bellies latter on). Unlike her namesake though AHC/S-663 rarely lands.
Shuttles and other small ships= 12 Total Ground Vehicles= 1,307 Total ML-3 Forklifts= 02 Cargo Haulers= 05 Hovercyles= 50	Power Armors= 400 Total All of them Riflemen PA's modified for hospital use (and rarely touched). Destroids= None. Guardians= None	Veritechs= 20 Total, all VF-06 Shadow Alpha Veritech modified to carry up to 6 CA-106 Cyclone Medical Sidecar (plus 2 more under their arms, but this is strictly prohibited, which falls to the CO to enforce, in a unit known for too much moral and too little discipline).
Special Historic Equipment: 229TH has a near-original condition Terran WWI Ford Model T in militry ambulance configuration and a near original condition WWII Dodge WC-54 Ambulance. The only modifications to the two vehicles are to the powerplants, which were given the least about of modifications necessary to make the fuel cell based, and the wheels which were modified to accept Cyclone wheels due to availability issues. Nobody's really sure how these got into the unit's inventory; One day they just sort of appeared in the REF's inventory and were given to 229TH to "use." The ambulances now are kept in display on GARZIAN HORAN'S Quarterdeck and run ahead of the unit during parades. The ambulances could theoretically carry Hosboxes, but that will never happen.
663RD Subsistence Battalion
The 663RD was a combined Food Services/MRW/Laundry battalion; Their job was to provide food, laundry, and moral to other units. It was originally formed pre-GCW by the US Army, and had remained through the GCW, the First Robotech War, and the Malcontent Uprisings. They also had a TOU REDIR-Class (Salan Scout) which was used to transport the unit (see UGS BLOUNT under Vehicles and Equipment). Security was generally handled by other units; Lack of security was the 663RD's stock-in-trade, as people were ALWAYS hungry, and few, if any, outsiders targeted them for anything. Theft and pilfering was an occasional problem, however. Despite 663RD's non-combatant status, they were never so far in the rear as to qualify as "safe"; In fact, detachments were occasionally sent right into combat areas to assist the regular infantry, especially in areas where civilians were involved. Whenever planet side, they were ALWAYS close enough to the front lines to hear the shelling, though far enough back to say out of harms way (the better to remind them why they were, and how lucky they had it). It has happened that 663RD members have been forward deployed, normally for disciplinary reasons (minor infractions), but First Sergeant EBENHAN was noted for routinely requesting assignments "as far forward as you can get me" and would routinely prepare meals as well as possible under the circumstances she found herself in ("I had to use the diesel engines to heat the water to make your dinner boys" is an actual quote, despite claims by some historians disputing it). She was noted for Nagi Stew, a pemmican-hardtack-portable soup and poutine that front line troops appreciated.

Enforcement of the ban amounted to a slap on the wrist (dock of 10 days pay, which was generally LESS than the amount earned by those "entertaining the troops"). Smugglers and Sellers of Contraband (15): Mostly selling kegger parties and other unauthorized activities. However, as the funds thereof raised were mostly put back into food services, it was quietly ignored. Selling of anything ELSE, however (especially illicit drugs), when discovered brought HEAVY punishments, including demotion to E-1 and transfer to Fantoma Penal Battalion (where EDWARDS' squadron was sent en-masse). So long as it wasn't outright dangerous, nobody wanted to know.

The majority of her weapons (including ALL missile launchers and laser turrets) were removed (most being used to rearm other ships), and her hull armor overhauled (giving her effectively three times as much armor over two hulls), as well as the engines (main drives have .2 light, auxiliary drives Mach 30). She was named for the 663RD's only Medal Of Honor recipient, Andrew BLOUNT, KIA 11 May 2010 by T'sentraedi Malcontents (he opened fire on them as his people escaped, saving the lives of almost 300 people). Her third and fourth decks were converted to hydroponics farms, and her first deck converted to holds, work spaces, and shuttle bays. Her second deck became crew's compartments, including live and movie theaters, berthing areas (small apartments), and etc. Assigned to BLOUNT was Delta Company, which was manned entirely by farmers. They were recruited right off of their old fields, given basic militry indoctrination (taught how to march, salute, and speak), and given orders to BLOUNT to grow the food the REF would need to survive.
507TH Bio-Maintenance Battalion
507TH Maintenance Company provides direct support vehicle and equipment maintenance and repair parts supply, and to provide technical support to their assigned units and assist in maintaining their operational readiness. The unit has over 20,000 Soldiers performing a wide variety of maintenance and supply operations. The 507TH Maintenance Company performed it's mission for the REF with pride and dedication for the duration of the war. Not only did the Company provide the REF with outstanding support in maintenance, over time it participated in many local, regional, and interplanetary relief/support efforts. Soldiers of the 507TH assisted civilians during several natural disasters, and assisted 555TH Transportation Command during a continent-wide evacuation during an Invid Incursion of Selentar Vegusii. During the evacuation of FBX 21555320 507TH Maintenance kept trains running (often while running) that used by 255TH Transportation in the evacuation of civilians across the planet, allowing at least another 25 million people to escape Ascension Supremacy. Inspired by and dedicated to the REAL 507TH US Army Maintenance Company, ambushed in Iraq 23 MARCH, 2003.

50TH Signal Battalion
50TH Signal Battalion's only reason to exist is to COMMUNICATE. And they do it well. Every second of every minute of hour of every day they relay as many as 2,000,000,0003 bytes of data, flying through both atmosphere and space- And they've never lost a call. They operate out of UGS MA BELL, a modified FRAND'LAR TIVUVO-Class Shuttle (T'sentraedi Re-entry Pod), equipped with Hyperspace communications relay system. Any time a team commander, even a lowly private, needs to "Phone Home," it first routes to their unit comms array, then to their attendant comms satellite, then to 50TH's MA BELL. Only fleet Command ships have their own hyperspace array, which they typically try not to use (both to for EMCON and because MA BELL'S crew is better equipped to organize the signals to maximize their chances of getting through). A vital secondary role of 50TH is signal interception and deciphering. They are the primary source of sigints for the force, and even learned to understand Invidia/Invidista communications (though far less than 10% can be translated into useable information). Most of what they are able to successfully intercept and interpret is the more mundane malcontent comms (starting with T'sentraedi and Tiresean, though Atorian comms were easy to decrypt; only Palpatinian and Wraith comms continue to baffle them for biologic enemies, and the Beorge for artificial life; the Cybermen and Daleks are not fully understood, either). This information is then passed to 313TH Intelligence Battalion (who can decipher more of the msgs, though Palpatinians and Beorge still isn't fully understood). 50TH also handles all Public Affairs duties, and is the main element of the fleets Recruiting Command. Special Assets: Hyperspace Communications Relay System: Can span the void of hyperspace instantly to communicate with other fleets or commands in distant solar systems. QF-3,000 C Space Pods: Normal QF-3,000 Space fighters modified as communications satellites for instantaneous communications throughout the force. Gives the entire force effectively satellite communications. Note that all of 14TH Fleet's various communications satellites are 50TH's property, and therefore their problem to repair and maintain, no matter who it's assigned to or what modifications have been made to it.

Executive Officer: Lieutenant (jg). When a Lt (jg) isn't available, a Senior Chief can step in as the acting XO, since they usually are the de facto XO anyways. Duties: Maintain communications throughout 14TH Fleet and XIV Corps, and with UGC Militry Headquarters, President's Point, Jove, Terra. A surprisingly important collateral duty is maintaining the mail, ensuring that postal service carriers know when and where to be to deliver and receive non-supply parcel shipments.			Army (300)

313TH Militry Intelligence Battalion
"Militry intelligence, now there's a contradiction in terms." Sign hung in front of "teh shack" "How much do you think you've figured out?" "Well, I don't know... 10% mayb..." "10%? Matt, you're guessing!" (slight pause) "We like to call it analysis." Midway (1976) "There are three types of intelligence: The intelligence of man, the intelligence of animals, and the intelligence of the militry- In that order." - Unknown. 313TH Intelligence Battalion is the fleet's PRIMARY information analyzation department. Their job is to take whatever facts they can get from the fleet on enemy movements, activity, strengths, and etc. and form this into a picture that command can utilize to form a strategy. Often, all they can present is a generalized idea of what the enemy (malcontent or otherwise) are planning, and how they plan to do it. 313TH has actually been maligned by MOST of the force, as their analysis, while rarely perfect, has always been pretty close to the mark, and no battle has been lost due to their mistakes. Indeed, few, if any, battles won could have been so, had it not been for 313TH. 313TH is also a HIGH STRESS unit, as members are routinely called to look over something or another at all times of the day and night. It got to be so bad, a few members rebelled against it by simply not wearing clothes for days at a time. (This mini-mutiny began after someone showed an old Terran movie, "Midway," with an intelligence officer wearing a bathrobe. Unlike the presumptions made on said officer, however, they continued to bathe.) Though this "expression of discontent" was dealt with, it was realized that 313TH members were under an unusual amount of stress, and therefore were placed in a greater R&R rotation- Which none of them took, for fear about what might come up. Their main office is "teh shack," a compartment aboard UGS NINIVA which they converted to a full-fledged office building and berthing area, complete with infirmary, galley and messdeck, recdeck (with deck to overhead view panes), PT deck (with quarter mile track and view panes), 02 holds, separable potable water, grey water, sewage, and ventilation systems, generator, and fuzzy dice- Essentially, a ship within a ship. They don't "have" to step outside the shack unless they happen to want to for some reason. It is interesting to note that somewhere along the way, they deliberately re-named their offices "teh shack" (there are even photographs showing the original name, "the shack"). Nobody's really sure who, how, or when it happened, and since nobody outside 313TH cares, no one plans on doing anything about it. Ever. A strange aside is the unit's racial divisions; Though this was the singly most integrated until in the REF (composing member of EVERY known Sentinel and REF member race), it was also to most racist of units; Especially the T'sentraedi. The main focus of their racism: T'sentraedi. The leaders of this attitude: T'sentraedi. T'sen in 313TH were ABSOLUTELY convinced any T'sen NOT in the REF were beyond reason, and that detente or surrender was impossible, and that all T'sentraedi in the REF who weren't in 313TH are potential traitors who had to be watched OBSESSIVELY; At that, each of them believed their fellow 313TH members to be pro-Master spies. To say that the T'sentraedi in 313TH were obsessed with paranoia is not fair; They treated their paranoia as a very strict religion, and each treat themselves as the "True Prophet" of that religion. That attitude hasn't changed much, either. It's just expanded to Atorians, Palpatinians, Freng, etc. In short, 313TH hates anyone who isn't 313TH and is one of their own species. (There's a lot of stress-induced mental cases in 313TH...) "The Pinwheel:: Originally, jobs were assigned by placing them on a wheel, with the next 313TH available for assignment getting the next job; They would walk up, grab a little sheaf of paper with a job number on it, then take the appropriate folder. Nobody's really sure when or how, much less why exactly, but someone painted the wheel a rainbow scheme; After that it came to be called "the pinwheel" from an old Terran term. Much later on a computer system was installed that compared member's abilities (such as languages) to job requirements, but the original pinwheel itself was kept, and became the unit's statue; Their current emblem is also called the pinwheel, eight question marks of different colors radiating from a central white hub. Attached Units: 92ND Chemical (Medical Response) Company: Determine what, if any, chemicals have been used on the battlefield and treat. 25 person. 320TH Adjutant General Company (Postal): Deliver the mail, censor for militry secrecy. 10 person 49TH Air Traffic Control Platoon: Control near front air traffic (Communications). 5 person. 689TH Quartermaster Company: Procure, deliver (in conjunction with 255TH Transportation Battalion), and disperse material, from toilet paper and food to guns, ammo and Mecha parts. 25 person. 132ND Militry History Detachment: Reporters and historians (communications). 10 person.

Safecracker (25); A necessary part of their business, the safecrackers would open locked containers believed to house useful enemy material. As a calibration study and routine security analysis, they'd also sometimes crack their fleet's various safes (after all sensitive documents were removed) to see how easy it would be to break in. As a result of these studies, the safes are routinely upgraded, making it harder and harder for even insiders to break in. (The day nobody could crack an ensign's safe they declared all safes "ironclad," and STILL recommended upgrades. Their recommendations were eventually carried out.) Expert Forger (10); Also a necessary part of their business, the forgers were put to work creating false orders, documents, and etc for distribution to T'sentraedi and other Master-allied forces. Forged documentation had no effect whatsoever on the Invid, and this tactic was never used in that capacity. However, they COULD create false Invid documents (meant for collaborators), including identity, marching orders/combat assignments, and etc.

Less than 40% (0): Try more like 1%. There's always a few visitors, but they're by invitation only, and restricted to "teh lobbiez" (the arrival hanger deck and guest accommodations) until cleared to continue beyond there- And 313TH loves a good intruder alert.
451TH T'sentraedi Kerugadorasu Zugara
Like their brothers and sisters in Kuarrebou Gran'lare Zugara, blatant racism in the REF of second-class citizenship for the T'sentraedi hurt 451ST Kerugadorasu Zugara ("victory by subtly"+"fighting"+"small-scale", or infiltration units, scouts, etc.); So blatant was the racism, that 451ST was forced to make-do with a PLANET MASTER-Class cargo vessel as their main vessel, rather than a true combat vessel. Adding insult to injury, Kuarrebou Gran'lare Zugara was forced to work out of UGS TITANIC (CC-216) with 451st. In spite this, they remained fanatically loyal and dedicated, and driven to not only complete the mission, but on-time and at all costs. This unit, before the end of the war, would suffer 88% casualties defending their Micronian allies; The worst of Human/Sentinel casualties by unit was 271ST Dragoon at 31% casualties. (It is no coincidence that 271ST's members were more than willing to hang out with 451ST and Kuarrebou Gran'lare Zugara, as both stood shoulder to shoulder defending 271ST against impossible odds; It is also little surprise to anyone that both the all-T'sen commands were generally persona non-grata with other units outside combat-related duties.)

929TH Field Artillery Battalion
929TH Field Artillery Battalion is one of literally millions of such units. One subordinate unit is the 10-man 5TH Air Defense Team: Twin Hover Gun Trucks with MRM/LRM Missile batteries. Generally, 929TH provides front-line and near-front artillery support, though they also have 3 HAS-I's, 1 HAS-II's, and a pair of Mini-MAC Destroids. Plans are "in the works" to get them a VM-X2 König MAC. Another is 551ST Light Artillery, a light screening force for the Hover Artillery Systems; All the unmodified Excaliburs and the Mecha Knights, as well as the non-hover gun trucks and tanks. They also do the maintenance and repair on all artillery across the entire fleet for units that don't have their own maintenance personnel or other options. Post 2550 929TH converted over entirely to Z-1 battle pods and Rail Launchers.

14TH Aerospace Wing
14TH Aerospace Wing. A Stock ACCLAMATOR-Class. In 2600 the UGC approved the acquisition of ACCLAMATOR-Class Assault Series Ship in a bomber configuration for the ASF; One Aerospace Wing was formed around each fleet consisting of a Patrol manned ACCLAMATOR-Class with around 200 combat aero-spacecraft onboard and the bare minimum ASF personnel to maintain the wing. In time of war, the wing would activate RDF ASDF personnel to bring the wing to full strength with all the equipment they would need already boarded and ready to go. Over the course of a decade, the ASF raised up the personnel needed to man the ship themselves and eventually took over those duties. Despite its designation as a wing, the Fleet ASF wings are really slightly over company (between Flight and Squadron) strength in personnel with only a half dozen pilots to make routine test flights of the craft and the bare necessity ground crews needed to compete routine maintenance (a little over 100 in all) with a Colonel in command as the unit, at full strength, would be a Col.'s billet. 14TH ASF Wing stands ready for expeditionary warfare at a moment's notice, with constantly drills to maintain the skill sets needed to conduct such an operation. Due to 14TH Fleets association with the Kyhron KRAVSHEEVA Militry Academy, it also serves as the ASF Pilot's school through it's pre-existing Ryna Aerospace Base (which is also the FOGLESONG'S home port). 14TH ASF Training Group flies almost every type of aerospace craft in the UGC (only a few of the extreme proprietary craft, such as the Cylon Raider and Landsraadian ornithopters, however they only operationally fly the ASF-21 Sholagar Fighter, B-104 Galactic Bombers, and VF-19 Excalibur Veritechs and F-4U Corsair Fighter in very limited numbers. 14TH Wing is a combat unit, not a support or hisotric unit. As a result there are monthly flights with each of the ship's craft and a yearly bombing operation using training warheads (which can be recovered later).

14TH Faith Command
14TH Faith Command's clear, and very simple, mission is the support of religious faith in the 14TH Fleet. On staff are 27 Chaplains, representing over 100 different faiths seen throughout the REF (many share chaplains of similar or reconcilable belief), and at any given time an average of 200 councilors and therapists. 14TH Faith Command is separate from any medical command, though they often share customers (as those seeking counselling are referred to). 14TH Faith Command is NOT a combat unit, though many of her members are combat veterans (some of them have pre-religious training militry experience, and of the minority that do not, about 75% have atone point or another been caught up or assigned to a combat zone). 14TH Faith Command's ONLY insignia ever flown is the Universal Faith Ensign; Based on an old Terran religious flag, 14TH Faith Command flies the Universal Faith ensign to exclusion of any other flag. At all 14TH Faith Command building and facilities this flag, and this flag alone, is permitted to fly- Even the standard Clariont is not permitted. The yellow trim on the Faith Ensign indicates to the observer that it is a Leadership flag (yellow meaning "Submit to the authority of," in this case God or Gods as appropriate to the faithful). 14TH Faith Command's first creation, ironically, was predicated on a fist fight- A Garudan Haydonite and a Tiresian/T'sentrædi Catholic Derinite (a post-ROD faction) got into a fist fight over who's day it was to use the one Chapel at Shivern Aero-space Base. After that, all REF Fleets were required to form a Faith Command to "coordinate" facilities use. The title "Chaplin" and "Chapel" are the only terms authorized (less language incompatability, such as the Garudans and Carbonarans) to indicate equality of ALL faiths (since thier all called the same thing, none are placed in higher "esteem" by the REF). Note again the ensign to the right; This is the so-called "Faith Ensign", and is the ONLY flag flown by 14TH Faith Command and her sister commands in the REF and RDF; They are specifically BANNED from flying either version of the Clariont, regardless of the sitrep (they are allowed to bring the flag donw during non-chapel periods hours, but militry chapels NEVER lcok their doors, so most Chapels leave their ensign up at all hours; After all, Faith is NOT a 0800-sunset matter). However, this regulation applies only to Chapel-Command owned stations, and this typically means one building on major bases; Chaplins wear a flag patch on the RIGHT SHOULDER (unless their faith requires it to be on the left shoulder, such as the Fehran Shirien), but the overall command does not fly the flag when a Chaplin is visiting. 14TH Faith Command also attends to the religious needs of enemy combatants and civilian refugees to the greatest extent possible; It was partly how 14TH Faith's sister command 933RD Faith Command handled Kobeles POW's during the war that led the Emperor to consider peace negotiations in good faith. NOTE: Under UGC UCMJ, all religions officers, such as Imams, Preachers, Rabbis, Frinors, Priests, and etc are referred to a "Chaplins" in order to ensure mutual-faith respect; Since they all have the same Militry Title, they are all treated exactly the same way.

14TH Faith Command has a few cars, a couple of trucks, and a dozen hovercyles. That's it, they don't even have a shuttle to get into orbit by- They have to request a shuttle if they want one. (Fortunately for 14TH Faith, their cars are MkII fighters, and while they suck as fighter craft they are rated to get to orbit on their own.)
