Imperial Navy
Overview
The Vast Empire's Navy, a.k.a. the Imperial Navy, is one of the two main divisions of the Vast Empire club (the other, the Vast Empire's Army division, is focused on the Stormtrooper Corps). The Navy is a diverse institution, with three main active-duty branches: Fleet Command, the Starfighter Corps, and the Naval Intelligence branch. But every player-character in the VEN division, no matter which branch they belong to, shares a common goal: protecting the Vast Empire from myriad deadly threats. For as the greatest of the many Imperial-style successor states to the Galactic Empire of old, the VE is the Galaxy's last, best hope for order, and a lasting peace.

The Vast Imperial Navy is one of the largest fighting fleets in the Galaxy. Our forces can be found patrolling countless inhabited systems, bringing law and order to thousands of worlds, and protecting billions of sentient beings from the machinations of rebels, terrorists, traitors, and genocidal maniacs. No matter which branch of the Imperial Navy you join, you have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the many and diverse lifeforms which together form our glorious Empire. The dream of a New Order is not dead, as long as the pilots, crewers, officers, and agents of the Vast Empire's Navy fight on!
