Fleet
The United Alliance Fleet is the space navy of the Pelted Alliance, a quasi-military operation with bigger guns than traditions; their activities are similar to the Coast Guard's throughout most of their initial history. Officers are trained at the various campuses of Fleet Academe; Fleet Headquarters is in orbit around the planet Selnor.
