The Republic’s First and Final Line of Defense

"Peace is not the absence of vigilance. It is the strength to hold the line—without faltering, without forgetting why we stand." – Grand Admiral of Naboo
OVERVIEW

With the declaration of an end to the emergency powers of the Queen of Naboo and formation of the High Republic came the need to form a line of defense against the threats that pry at the borders. The High Republic Defense Fleet was created so that formation of reclamation and relief fleets were also possible; designed to break through now destroyed Hyperspace lanes and reestablish contact with planets affected by the Planeshift, allowing for the word and protection of the Republic to spread out across the Southern Systems.
As a Defense Fleet it was designed to be efficient, mobile and at all times accountable to the High Republic Senate and its people. The governing Security Council placed a strict rule of engagement upon its operations, as well as sector-based oversight systems to ensure that the fleet was limited in excesses of other militarism and governmental fleets.
The Republic Defense Fleet would be made to be a symbol of hope and protection, a welcome sight to any planet within the Republic; not one of fear or war.
DEFENSE FLEET ORGANIZATION
-
-
These larger formations are assigned to sectors throughout the Republic, and will patrol and react as necessary. Listed as Fleet (Sector name; e.g Naboo) they usually contained several capital ships along with assigned escorts and corvettes, it is rare, but not unheard of for two or more sector groups to combine to tackle certain threats. The real strength of the High Republic Navy comes from its starfighter corp and as such most sector groups would be aimed at delivering transports and fighter support rather than capital ship engagements and sector groups are no different.

These are the active border fleets, more lightly armed then the Home Guard but capable of moving in and out of Republic Space when necessary. Their general station is around the more volatile borders that may neighbour hostile enemy territory. -
