Firstly apologies to anyone else who has already posted an idea on this as I haven't taken the time to look through.

Howe a galactic navy would be placed into the game in my mind would be like a guild, only of course members=able seaman and above for the higher ranks. Sorry to anyone who has served in a naval capacity as I haven't.

So with a feeling that this subject has already been given an air, still feel free to add your comments.

Wouldn't that be 'able spacer' - 'seaman' being a double anachronism?

Ewww, gross!

Oh, wait, "seamen", not ... hmmm nevermind.

I think national navies are a good idea, but aren't really required until the universe becomes less static (if you had one now, what would they fight over?) Also, the organization of each one should reflect the character of the nation. Every member of the Serco nation would be a member of the military (at least by default). The Itani military would be all-volunteer. UIT would not have a navy per se, but a number of separate "corporate defense forces" that cooperate.

If there were a navy right now, it would really be acting more as a police force...
