UGC REF 14TH FLEET COMMANDS

The Clariont Battle Ensign, flown by military bases and ships in time of war.

United Galaxies Council Robotech Expeditionary Forces 14TH Fleet

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; Comparable to the fictional “Star Fleet”), Defense Research Agency, and dozens of others agencies.

The REF, per say, is divided, initially, into Ų6 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); And Galactic Engineering (uniformed and armed construction/demolitions agency); And dozens of minor agencies, bureaus, and etc.

14^TH Fleet, described here, is an example forced. During the War with the Invid, 14^TH was assigned to the so-called “Left Flank”, moving up the left side of the main force (directly under the command of Major General Hunter), securing the main thrust of the campaign against the Invid. In 2Ų55, 14^TH was recalled to Terra during the re-unification period (simultaneously fought n the Local Sector against the Carbonarrans and Spherians). Once that was over, 14^TH was ordered to Tirol to serve as the Azumption System’s primary defence fleet; Fantoma Station (a rebuilt Command Base); They would patrol the entire Local Group along with 1”> other fleets. 14^TH Fleet is used here as an example for other fleets, which mostly are 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,ŲŲŲ years to build up, and some individual commands, such as 1Ų4^TH Infantry and Kuarrebou Gran’lare Zugara Nous-Gran’diel have had MUCH, MUCH longer to build up; Therefore, they’d have maybe an extra 5Ų% points (a “Large Army”, such as the aforementioned 1Ų4^TH, for example, would have nearly 8ŲŲ points due to it’s 6ŲŲ-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 14^TH Battle Group is composed of two main elements: 14^TH Fleet anchored by UDF-Ų14 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.

14^TH 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 underway on training. The 14^TH Fleet commanders over the years have constantly asked for additional AZONIA- and ANDROMEDA-Class ships, to no avail.

The Task Force is then 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 2ŲŲ Infantry Units, only one, 1Ų4^TH Infantry, is covered in detail.

When referencing a particular unit, one would reference the unit’s full designator; For example, 19^TH Armored is fully referred to as XIV/2212/19 Armored. A subordinate unit of 19^TH is also addressed in such a fashion. The same applies to ships of a given fleet; For example, 14^TH Fleet has several STERLING-Class interdiction vsls; One such is ISS HEALY (WHES 14-28-32Ų9Ų94838493Ų8Ų9). 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 3^RD Fleet, this really isn’t correct; Over 2ŲŲ classes of vsl have come and gone since the Hull Designator Program began some 2ŲŲ 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 given a by 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 “Ų” and the hull number a minimum of three digits (SDF-ŲŲ1 MACROSS, SDF-ŲŲ2 MEGAROAD, SDF-ŲŲ3 PIONEER, etc). It was decided that the UDF classes would be four digit (even though four digit SDF’s already existed, SDF’s Ų1ŲŲ through Ų231), and the first number would be anything EXPECT a Ų (for example, UWS BREETIA TULL, the first of the class, was designated UDF-1ŲŲŲ).

See also “Typical Battle Fleet” for more information on how the REF operates.

UGC FOURTEEN^TH FLEET

NOTE: These vsls were built by the equivalent of a mega-empire, and therefore cost 1Ų% the “normal” costs.

UGC CAPE MAY (SDF-Ų14)

UGS has been a workhorse of the UGC for many years. This PIONEER-Class Battlefortress is not terribly spectacular, but tracks her history back to a MONTGOLIFIER-Class repair ship that had been a converted TOKAGOWA-Class from the Gloval Civil War era. That ship, the original CAPE MAY, had received several battle ribbons during the GCV and the Tśentrędi assault. During the war against the Regent, she shipped out with Third Fleet and was again awarded several times for courage, despite her status, now, as a repair vsl.

Size and Orientation: Battle Fortress (equivalent to “City Size”- 5ŲŲ)

Function: Militry/Scientific (emphasis on militry), with a tertiary function of disaster response.

Features:
A: Power System: Protoculture (equivalent to Fusion- 1Ų); Back up Nuclear, Solar, and Battery Power (Ų) was also installed.
B: Defenses:Shields, Point Defense Weapons Systems Short Range Weapons, Medium Weapons, and Heavy Weapons, Space Fighters (as many as 5 Squarons), and finally TRIPLE Armored Hull.
C: Sensors: Short, Medium, and Long Range Satellites (over 2ŲŲ total) and a dozen Interstellar Satellites (the Strike Forces); Scouts (the rest of the battle fleet); and very Superior Sensors (4Ų).
D: Communications: Satellites: Short, Medium, and Long Range Satellites (over 1ŲŲ plus relays through other ships) and Stellar Communications through the hyperspace communications relay. However, typically all inter-stellar traffic is relayed via “MA BELL.”
E: Station Maintenance: Top Priority; Remember this IS a militry vsl, not your daddy’s fishing boat.
F: Supplies: Dependant (Ų); 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.
G: Internal Security Personnel: Magic Security, supplemented by a Company of Marines.
H: Medical Facilities: Advanced Medical Ward, but NOT a true hospital.
I: Environmental Systems: Basic with artificial gravity (through Fehran grav pod technology).
J: Independent Business: None (Ų), though the ship does have a “ship’s store”, a smallish “mini-mart” that sells a variety of sundries.
K: Transients: Closed (6Ų); 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-Ų2357Ų987359847543) is a DAVID E^STEP-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 E^STEP-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.

The Main Battle Fleet:
UGS CAPE MAY (SDF-Ų14): Direct Units: Any three to 1Ų BLOCKADER-Class Picket Ship at any given time.Ų3 IKAZUCHI-Class Battlecarriers: UGC SURPRISER, MICHIGAN, and CI’VOL. Direct Units: Each is assigned Ų2 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.
Ų6 MAXIMILLIAN STERLING-Class SAR Ships; Direct Units: Each is assigned Ų2 BLOCKADER-Class at any given time. Modifications to the standard baseline: As described above.
Ų2 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.
Ų6 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 HAVE 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.
2ŲŲ ADMIRALTY-Class Patrol Ship; Assigned to long-range patrol and zone security. Direct Units: Each of these vsls are assigned any Ų2 ALLIANCE-Class Fleet Pickets. Modifications to the standard baseline: As described above.
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 the, UGC ELAINA (FRV 14-1Ų2-455644564),UGC RUSH (FRV 14-1Ų2-455644565), UGC EVENT (FRV 14-1Ų2-455644566), and ISS BEAR (FRV 14-1Ų2-455644567- 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

3Ų9 BLOCKADER-Class Patrol Ships protect the following assets:
Ų4 MONTGOLIFIER-Class; UGS WRENCH (ATFRS 14-1Ų-343985893754), UGS ANVIL (ATFRS 14-1Ų-343985893756), UGS IO (ATFRS 14-1Ų-343985893757), and UGS COUFE (pronounced “coope”) (ATFRS 14-1Ų-343985893758). Direct Units: Each is assigned Ų2 MULE-Class Fleet Tugs. Modifications to the standard baseline: As described above.
24 TERRA-Class AOE’s. Modifications to standard baseline: As described above.
3Ų Renorby-Class AS; Modifications to the standard baseline: As described above.
Ų1 FOLSOM-Class Detention Ship (property of 1138^TH 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 2ŲŲ-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). The FOLSOM does, contrary to earlier comment, have a Reflex Cannon, but is only authorized for use in immediate self defense, defense of a Hospital Ship, or in retaliation for an attack on a hospital ship (the latter only upon clearance by Fleet Command). Direct Units: 24 HUNTER-Class Pickets provide both protection and to discourage escape attempts.
Ų2 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. Direct Units: Ų2 HUNTER-Class Pickets, mostly to discourage pirates.
Ų1 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.
Ų6 Galactica-Class Exploration Vsls: Protected by up to Ų4 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: Ų1 EMPORER-Class AGF (C³I); UGS QUEEN ELIZABETH THE VIII and UGS ARCHDUKE FREIANORE. Direct Units: only the fleet’s Ų2 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 Suuport Fleet Security. These vsls rarely get underway at any rate.
Ų1 Three Star-Class Factory Ship, ISS FACTORY (FFV 14-92-Ų9349Ų3284Ų932849ŲŲ993274837).
Ų1 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 it own rights (indeed, it was the the COUNCIL’S idea, not the REF’s, to include these vsls).
Ų1 Einstein-Class Research Ship: BOS JOHN HOPKINS (RSS 14-43-544978441351574) typically reverse-engineers captured enemy matériél; This is a Brotherhood Of Steel vsl.

SACPAKs: 14^TH Battle Group has 2ŲŲ SACPAKs (effectively the equivalent of Corvettes).

REF Commands

The REF had a great many commands; This collection is but a small number thereof. The are, nominally all part of one, larger, command, 2212^TH 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, Tśentrędi 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.)

2212TH Headquarters Regiment

2212^TH Headquarters Battalion, which is the overall command vessel of 2^ND Detachment, which includes 1138^TH MP Division, VMF-212 Chesty Squadron, 113Ų^TH Mechanized Battalion, 2511^TH Maintenance Battalion, Kuarrebou Gran’lare Zugara, 451^st Tśentrędi Kerugadorasu Zugara, VAF-3Ų6, VF-41, VMB-2Ų, 663^rd Subsistence Battalion, and their attendant ships less UGS NORFOLK (which, being a brig ship, is wholly separate, though she can easily dock with LONDON), and her assigned units (1138^TH MP, VPB-6, VF-41, and VMB-2Ų).

Attached Units: 49^TH Quartermaster Company: Master supply company. Has over-all supply and distribution authority. Though they work CLOSELY with 255^TH Transportation Battalion, 255^TH is a separate unit.

VPB-6 “Greenland Patrol”

VPB-6 Patrol Bombing Squadron SIX (RDF/CG), aka “Greenland Patrol” (or “Tśentrędi 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 Tśentrędi 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-2Ų “Screaming Indian”, especially on larger, group-formation attacks.

VPB-6’s sister units were VF-41 “Black Aces” (flanking squadron) and VMB-2Ų “Screaming Indian”, and use essentially the same stats. The only major difference is that VMB-2Ų 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-2Ų was used primarily in atmosphere. VF-41 didn’t have any bombers, but had 1Ų 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 aboard^rd the SDF-1, but had transferred to other units during the Reconstruction Era. During that time, they had served with Tśentrędi 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 Tśentrędi that they had served with fight well and hard and serve honorably. Because of this, they actively recruited Tśentrędi to VPB-6, though REF policy restricted them to non-Veritech vehicles. Tśentrędi 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 Tśen. The Tśen 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 Tśentrędi mistakes, and many Tśen warriors paid with their lives protecting their Micronian allies. It is little surprise, then that Tśentrędi 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 (Tśentrędi Ninja) Company

They were called negronta, Tśen-mot, mićronnei, 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 (Tśentrędi 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 271^st Dragoon at 31% casualties. (It is no coincidence that 271^st‘s members were more than willing to hang out with Kuarrebou Gran’lare Zugara and 451^st members, as both pulled 271^st out of the fire on more than one occasion. That, and the fact that the Tśentrędi had no problem getting into fist-fights with the micronian friends. It is also little surprise to anyone that both the all-Tśen commands were generally persona non-grata with other units outside combat-related duties.)

NOTE: Stats indicate REF-era company arrangement, not Robotech Master-era arrangement.

For the sake of Terran readers, a list of Tśen terms is included; Unfortunately as is so common with the Tśentrędi language, nothing really translates “properly”.
Kerugadorasu: Attack/rush/charge/storming squad/unit; Stormtroopers
Gadoraraskas: Fighting spirit; Machismo; Balls.
Derurigaado: Rear-Guard (can also mean “reconnaissance use” or “reconnaissance work”).
Zugara: Unit
Negronta: Worthless
Tśen-mot: Anti-Tśentrędi behavior (a violation of the Tśentrędi Imperative/treason; Calling a Tśen a Tśen-mot is fighting words, and NO Tśen can help but hit someone who calls them that, no matter HOW “civilized” they have become (even New Bloods can’t help it; it’s genetic). It is NEVER written or spoken with a capital “T”.
mićronnei: Micronian (anyone other than a Tśentrędi, though non-Tśentrędi who are as tall as full-sized Tśentrędi wouldn’t be called mićronnei easily)
Hojoca: Outright traitor.

1138^TH MP Battalion

The 1138^TH MP Battalion is a major subordinate command of 2212^TH Headquarters Battalion. 1138^TH 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 of2212^TH HQB’s subordinate commands. The mission of 1138^TH MP Battalion is to alert, marshal, and deploy MP units anywhere to provide combat military police support; To prevent crimes and accidents, investigate those that occur, and if necessary to arrest those responsible. The unit also assets local emergency services (law enforcement and otherwise) when requested, and takes custody of militry personnel arrested/detained my local law enforcement agencies. 1138^TH 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-catagories.

UGS NORFOLK (MQQ/BS-111) REF Brig Ship

The NORFOLK is a modified QUILTRA QUELEUAL-Class 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 1Ų% 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, 1138^TH 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).

NORFOLK has a command crew, but her Commanding Officer is Col. Distor (who is CO of 1138^TH). The XO of NORFOLK is Com. Granz‘ (Tśentrędi), not Lt. Col. Friend (XO of 1138^TH ). Col Distor is also the CO of VPB-6, VF-41, AND VMB-2Ų, which collectively serve as NORFOLK’S protective fighter/bomber detachment. The three wings XO’s report to Col. Distor, though the Col. has had the wisdom to allow the 5 unit XO’s mostly free reign, and rather hold’s Captain’s Call in her cabin once a day (after their Officer’s Call), and intervening only as absolutely necessary (Capt’s masts are actually carried out by the XO’s, then the Captain herself holds a Mast to review the case, ensure all matters have been attended to, then, if so, rubber stamps it).

Modifications:

NORFOLK has had EXTENSIVE modifications made to her, and for good reason; She is, in essence, a prison, and therefore her passengers are unable to defend themselves. Consequently, every effort has been made to make invisible, able to outrun anything that might attack her, and virtually indestructible.

5 times the normal Light Lasers and Retractable Laser Turrets, and moved to cover the entire ship, rather than only specific areas;
Triple hulling of entire ship, less plasma ports;
Replacement of all exterior hull armor with laser reflective armor, overlaid with radar-absorbent material;
Exterior between-hull passageways filled with water, allowed to freeze (providing frozen but fresh water and additional armor) except as noted in standard ship’s manuals;
Removal of both the Heavy Particle Beam Cannon and Main Laser Cannon;
Merging of Deck One, Compartments 4 and 5 (Fighter Pod and Missile Storage Bays);
Deck Three, Compartment 8 converted to 1138^TH Mecha Bay (less Veritech Car and Micronian Power Armor MkII);
Deck Three, Compartment 9 converted to 1138^TH offices (5-story office building filling entire space);
Deck Three, Compartment 1Ų converted to isolated personnel work facilities;
Deck Three, Compartment 11 converted to Veritech Car and Micronian Power Armor MkII Bay (property of 1138^TH);
Deck Three, Compartments 12 and 13 converted to 1138^TH berthing;
Deck Three, compartments 14 and 15 converted to isolated personnel berths (the brig itself);
Deck Three, Compartment 17 converted to isolated personnel infirmary;
Deck Three, Compartment 18 converted to 1138^TH Vehicle Bay (less Veritech Car and Micronian Power Armor MkII);
Deck Five, Compartment 3 converted to O’ Country: All the XO’s staterooms are located together next door to each other (called “Exo’s Court”);
Deck Five, compartment 4 converted to the entire bridge, plus the Captain’s cabin above that (is actually a quite comfortable, large apartment with the Capt. galley and mess);
Deck Five, Compartments 5 through 9 converted to crew’s berthing less 1138^TH;
Deck Five, Compartment 1Ų converted to Ship’s Galley, Messdeck, and Recdeck;
Deck Five, Compartments 11 through 13 converted to crew’s berthing less 1138^TH;
Deck Five, Compartments 14 through 26 converted to a engineering spaces;
Removal of the original Auxiliary Engine, and installation of a second Main Engine (with modifications to both to allow them to fit).

Numerous other modification also exist, most notably the conversion of berthing/living spaces to micronian sizes (1Ų foot overheads); Pure cargo holds have not been so configured except as necessary for material stowage. Additionally, full-force and pinpoint barrier field generators have been installed. Otherwise, standard ship’s manuals can be followed.

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.Size and Orientation: Army (3ŲŲ)

REF 271TH Dragoon

As you well know, a Dragoon is horse mounted infantry. However, in the case of the 271^st, 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 send 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 271^st was equipped MOSTLY with VHTs), a policy that remains in effect.

Once the force was landed, the ALISON (the 271^st‘s GARFISH) would return to orbit to provide some cover fire against Invid and Invid allied warships), but the 271^st was basically on their own.

The 271^st 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. 271^st 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.

1Ų4TH Infantry “Timberwolf” (or “T-Wolves”) Division

1Ų4^TH 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 military and civilian critical necessities, etc.

In major assaults, 1Ų4^TH 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. Unlike most infantry unit, 1Ų4^TH does NOT have it’s own Destroids- Rather, they go much further ahead of the main column, searching through cities abandoned by the Invid and other Mecha-equipped forces.

Later in the war, the 1Ų4^TH 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 2155532Ų, when the decision was made to evacuate the planet. This was also to be one of 1Ų4^TH 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 451^st Tśentrędi Kerugadorasu Zugara (which had been nearly destroyed when their Destroids were re-deployed due to the east front feint).

19TH Armored Division

The Fighting Nineteenth Tank Division, as it came to be called, is 2212^TH Headquarters Regiment (most especially 1Ų4^TH 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 19^TH has suffered 25Ų battle casualties: 4Ų% 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 injuries caused by accidents, pneumonia, dysentery, trench foot, battle fatigue and other causes.

The 19^TH is an independent Mecha battalion; This does NOT means 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 Ų1 November2Ų11, the 75Ų^TH was attached to the 1Ų4^TH Infantry Division and was ordered to move to the vicinity of Gimerh’h on Garuda. In a commendation issued on 21December2Ų11 at the conclusion of the battle of for the city, General Grant stated, “The services of the 19^TH 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 19^TH Armored as being a tried and true Timberwolf unit, battle tested and combat proven.”

Attached units:
1Ų12^TH Combat Support Company: Maintenance and repair of vehicles and supply.
6Ų^TH Ordinance/Ordinance Disposal Detachment: All ammunition handling is by 6Ų^TH personnel outside of combat; Mecha are re-armed and “duds” disposed of by 6Ų^TH. In combat, duds are dealt with by throwing them at the enemy and them shooting them, in the hopes that will make it explode. 6Ų^TH also un-loads any unexpended ordinance. 6Ų^TH is a CBR/Reflex cleared unit.

229TH Mobile Surgical Hospital

The 229^TH 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 229^TH utilized the GARZIAN HORAN, an former Tśentrędi Dock Landing ship converted to a hospital ship.

The 229^TH 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 229^TH 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 467^TH Rangers), the need for this equipment did NOT have anything to do with keeping weapons free of debris.

Attached Units:
812^TH Medical Company (Air Ambulance); Primary response to hot-LZ medivac. Ų2 Commanchero helicopters and Ų1 Reentry Pods. 2Ų personnel.
379^TH 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. 25Ų personnel.
44^TH Medical Hospital (Evacuation); Primary duties were transporting stabilized personnel to rear area hospitals and hospital ships. 3Ų personnel.
422^ND Medical Detachment; Optical/hearing, health maintenance, and etc. Also had primary long-term care duties. 25 personnel.
9^TH 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.
Size and Orientation: Large Company (2ŲŲ)
Features:
A: Sponsorship: UGC (Government)
B: Outfits: Specialty Clothing (2Ų); Members of 229^TH were authorized to wear non-standard uniforms, including medical smocks, in their duties. These “medical smocks” were not always uniform in color, including floral prints, for it’s “soothing effects” (and because often they had brought these along intending to use them for personal reasons, when their issued smocks wore out on them). This was especially true amongst Tiresean survivors working at the camp.

F: Communications: Full Range Systems (15), including fleet and vehicle to vehicle satellite linkup through a modified Tśentrędi Reentry Pod, secured by laser and auto-encryption.
G: Internal Security: None (Ų). A simple nylon line fence marked their boundaries for the most part, although constantina wire was used in some near-front areas.

663 RD Subsistence Battalion

The 663^RD 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 663^RD‘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 663^RD‘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).

L: Criminal Activity: None (Ų)
• Prostitutes (5): Though officially banned outright, and said ban was enforced to the best of command’s ability, prostitution in this unit happened quite a bit, as over-stressed troops (male and female, straight, gay, and other) rotated to rear areas for well-earned R&R. Enforcement of the ban amounted to a slap on the wrist (dock of 1Ų 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.
M: Reputation/Credentials: Excellent Reputation (25) for what they did, which was food services and moral raising. Their combat reputation, however, was little, as they were NOT a combat unit, and most of their members weren’t even pistol qualified, let alone anything more advanced. However, what little combat-zone experience they DID have was generally EXCELLENT, as their people face what was coming well. (Very often, they were the last to run outside the medics and “real” soldiers, attending to civilian evacuees and carrying/attending to wounded personnel).

UGS BLOUNT: A modified Tśentrędi TOU REDIR-Class (Salan Scout) cruiser. 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 3Ų). She was named for the 663^RD‘s only Medal of Honor recipient, Andrew Blount, KIA 11May2Ų1Ų by Tśentrędi Malcontents (he opened fire on them as his people escaped, saving the lives of almost 3ŲŲ 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 military indoctrination (taught how to march, salute, and speak), and given orders to BLOUNT to grow the food the REF would need to survive.

5Ų7TH Bio-Maintenance Battalion

5Ų7^TH 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 2Ų,ŲŲŲ Soldiers performing a wide variety of maintenance and supply operations.

The 5Ų7^TH 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 5Ų7^TH assisted civilians during several natural disasters, and assisted 555^TH Transportation Command during a continent-wide evacuation during an Invid Incursion of Selentar Vegusii.

Inspired by and dedicated to the REAL 5Ų7^TH US Army Maintenance Company, ambushed in Iraq 23MARCH, 2ŲŲ3.

Vehicles and Equipment: NOTE; Most of the Mecha “assigned” to 5Ų7^TH Bio-Maintenance Battalion are damaged ^and/or otherwise unfit for combat. Generally, these were used for parts, and more than a few units, listed as “totally destroyed,” were spliced together to build a new, fully operational Mecha.

5ŲTH Signal Battalion

5Ų^TH 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,ŲŲŲ,ŲŲŲ,ŲŲŲ³ 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 (Tśentrędi 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 5Ų^TH‘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 5Ų^TH is signal interception and deciphering. They are the primary source of sigints for the force, and have even learn to understand part of Invid communications (though far less than 1Ų% can be translated into useable information). Most of what they are able to successfully intercept and interpret is Tśentrędi Scavengers (those still loyal to the Robotech Masters) and Tiresean comms. This information is then passed to 313^TH Intelligence Battalion.

5Ų^TH 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,ŲŲŲ C Space Pods: Normal QF-3,ŲŲŲ Space fighters modified as communications satellites for instantaneous communications throughout the force. Gives the entire force effectively satellite communications.

However, on Deinta III, a civilian uprising almost took the MA BELL (the rebels even managed to get inside), and the crew fought long, hard, and bravely in hand to hand fighting. Some equipment was damaged (this was the aim of the rebels), but they managed to get that fixed in very little time at all (down only an hour).

313TH Military Intelligence Battalion

“Military intelligence, now there’s
a contradiction in terms.”
Sign hung in front of “the shack”

“æHow much do you think you’ve figured out?”
“Well, I don’t know… 1Ų% mayb…”
“æ1Ų%? �Matt, you’re guessing!”
(slight pause) “We like to call it analysis.”
Midway (1976)

313^TH 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. 313^TH 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 313^TH.

313^TH 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 313^TH 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 LONDON (the fleet’s flagship) 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 ¼ mile track and view panes), Ų2 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 313^TH 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 Tśentrędi. The main focus of their racism: Tśentrędi. The leaders of this attitude: Tśentrędi. The Tśen in 313^TH were ABSOLUTELY convinced any Tśen NOT in the REF were beyond reason, and that detente or surrender is impossible, and that all Tśentrędi in the REF who weren’t in 313^TH are potential traitors who had to be watched OBSESSIVELY; At that, each of them believed their fellow 313^TH members to be pro-Master spies. To say that the Tśentrędi in 313^TH 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.

Attached Units:
92^nd Chemical (Medical Response) Company: Determine what, if any, chemicals have been used on the battlefield and treat. 25 person.
32Ų^TH Adjutant General Company (Postal): Deliver the mail, censor for military secrecy. 1Ų person

K: General Alignment: Aberrant. (Ų) Every single member of 313^TH IS a loyal REFer to the core. But they hate ALL life, especially each other’s.
L: Criminal Activity:
• 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 (1Ų); Also a necessary part of their business, the forgers were put to work creating false orders, documents, and etc for distribution to Tśentrędi 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.M: Reputation/Credentials: Unknown (5); Except by fleet command level personnel, their existence is pretty much secret. Even the lowliest infantry grunt boot recruit “knows” there’s and intelligence unit somewhere (the same way they “knew” there was an Admiral HUNTER), but few realize where to find them. 313^TH has worked very hard to keep it this way.
N: Salary: Good Salary, as standard for all REF personnel (1Ų).

451TH Tśentrędi Kerugadorasu Zugara

Like their brothers and sisters in Kuarrebou Gran’lare Zugara, blatant racism in the REF of second-class citizenship for the Tśentrędi hurt 451^st; So blatant was the racism, that 451^st 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 451^st. 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 271^st Dragoon at 31% casualties. (It is no coincidence that 271^st‘s members were more than willing to hang out with 451^st and Kuarrebou Gran’lare Zugara, as both stood shoulder to shoulder defending 271^st against impossible odds; It is also little surprise to anyone that both the all-Tśen commands were generally persona non-grata with other units outside combat-related duties.)

14^TH Faith Command

14^TH Faith Command’s clear, and very simple, mission is the support of religious faith in the 14^TH Fleet. On staff are 27 Chaplins, representing over 1ŲŲ diffrent faiths seen throughout the REF (many share chaplins of simular or conconsilable belief), and at any given time an average of 2ŲŲ councilers and therapists. 14^TH Faith Command is seprate from any medical command, though they often share cusotmers (as those seeking councilling are refered to).

14^TH Faith Command is NOT a combat unit, though many of her members are combat veterans (some of them have pre-religious training military expirience, and of the minority that do not, about 75% have atone point or another been caught up or assigned to a combat zone).

14^TH Faith Command’s ONLY insignia ever flown is the Universal Faith Ensign; Based on anold Terran religious flag, 14^TH Faith Command flies the Universal Faith ensign to exclusion of any other flag. At all 14^TH 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 indictes to the observer that it is a Leadership flag (yellow meaning “Sumbit to the authority of”, in this case, God or Gods as appropriate to the faithful). 14^TH Faith Command’s first creation, ironically, was predicated on a fist fight- A Garudan Haydonite and a Tiresian/Tśentrędi 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 14^TH 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 military chapels NEVER lcok their doors, so most Chapels leave their ensign up at all hours; After all, Faith is NOT a Ų8ŲŲ-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.

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.
