The Role of the Imperial Navy
The mandate of the Imperial Navy is to secure orbital space around inhabited planets, to investigate any vessels which in the opinion of the commanding officer appear capable of disrupting the security of orbital space, and to engage hostile vessels, destroying or seizing them as deemed necessary. In addition, the Imperial Navy is to establish patrols within a sector to locate known enemies or for the ealy detection of patterns of space activity which could indicate a hostile presence. Space superiority is clearly the Imperial Navy's most important mission, and the one which generates the most enthusiasm from crew and officers. Similarly, though to a lesser degree, the Imperial Navy is also charged with the protection of scientific missions, as well as acting as the initial clearing-house for information on worlds discovered through exploration. If the Imperial Army is deployed to the surface of a world, the Imperial Navy is to provide combat support as soon as the orbital space is secured. Support for Army operations is to take precedence over establishing patrols until such time as the commander of surface operations indicates that he has the situation under control, although such support operations are not expected to be exclusive of patrol activities. |
