Eclipse Navy

"Reach for the stars!"

- Official motto

The Eclipse Navy is the naval arm of the Eclipse Military and is tasked with space warfare operations.

The Navy is led by the Director of the Eclipse Navy who also oversees the Council of Grand Admirals, a body of chosen Grand Admirals given command over previous sections of Eclipse Naval Command.

Early history
Founded by Anakin Jenkins Fall I and after absorbing what was left of the United States Navy, the Eclipse Navy quickly became one of the largest navies in galactic and human history by 2030, the year the First Eclipse Civil War was brought to an end. The Presidency Council began to invest more of its defense budget into the Navy, allowing Eclipse Advanced Shipyards and various defense contractors to construct more warships.

Largest navy
By 2049, the Navy fielded more than five thousand starships of various classifications with 30% of that five thousand being warships and 7% being former Republic Navy warships. At this time, many news outlets and media companies considered that the Eclipse Navy had become the largest navy to ever exist in human history.

Administration
The Eclipse Navy is led by a Naval Director, who also leads the Council of Grand Admirals. The Naval Director is also part of the Eclipse High Council.

The members of the Council of Grand Admirals are each given command over sections of the former Naval Command; Home Command holds control and command over the Earth Defense Fleet, which is considered the home fleet. Fleet Command holds command over the various systems fleets within the Navy. Starfighter Command holds command over the Navy's Starfighter Corps. Lastly the Naval Intelligence and Surveillance for Hostiles (often referred as simply Naval Intelligence) is the intelligence branch of the Navy, often clashing with its Army counterpart the Central Reconnaissance for Emergency Evacuation.
